He did great all by himself. btw, in the early show, Kate said she didn't like the crew around, while Jon said he did. Whatever their problems were, the divorce is final now and he is still needing to focus on what's best for his children. <strong>You tell me what man would stay home taking care of eight children, while is wife is running around the country? </strong> and <strong>I’ll bet you treat your husband with a lot more respect than Kate has treated Jon?

I don't view it as stepping up and helping out when a man watches and cares for his own children. Women have historically been the ones to do this and Jon couldn't hack it.

Not everyone sees a marriage this way. I don’t view it as stepping up and helping out when a man watches and cares for his own children.

Jon's faults are less obvious, but no less damaging to a marriage. Would I like to be in a relationship with Kate? No. But I thank the good Lord that my husband is not the kind of person who has to be told what to do like Jon or who announces every time he bathes the children or dresses them. I think that in general most women have very low expectations of men and their participation in child care. Therefore, when we see a man doing something or even anything toward caregiving we extend a lot of credit perhaps where little credit is due. Now that they are on their way toward divorce and without "the leash" that Kate wrongfully had around him he demonstrated his true colors -- immature, without direction, self-indulgent, etc. Mary,

I think Jon is a nice guy. Has he done a lot of stupid things this past year? Oh yes!! What I see!! Jon fighting back, and trying to hurt Kate. Hurt Kate as bad as she has hurt him. Jon kept his mouth shut for years trying to make TLC happy, and Kate. Kate did not treat Jon as her partner, friend, or lover. She wanted him to jump as high as he could when she snapped her finger. Jon was not allowed to have an opinion, Kate wanted things done her way or no way. Kate showed Jon no respect what so ever!! And to belittle him as she did on National TV was a total disgrace. TLC was very wrong for airing and encouraging such behavior from Kate. In every interview Kate comes off as this loving doting Mother, who's only crime is caring about her Children. No doubt Kate loves her Children, but she loves herself more. The last two years of the show, has not been about the Children it has been about Kate. Kate's wants and Kate's needs. Forget about the needs of the Children or her husband. Kate has said many of times, that Jon keeps things bottled up and then explodes over nothing. I think Jon hit the end of his rope. He has done what ever he could do, to try and hurt Kate. The problem is he ended up making himself look bad. Thanks to the Media and TLC. Kate and TLC are the blame for the doom of this marriage. Kate and TLC should have back away from airing the show for a year, and let things settle down. Jon said he no longer wanted to do the show. He wanted to take a break. I believe had Kate and TLC stopped the show for a year, and let Kate and Jon work out some of their problems, they might have saved the marriage. You tell me what man would stay home taking care of eight children, while is wife is running around the country? In Kates eyes she was making them money!! Jon should stay at home and keep his mouth shut and do what she tell him to do. After all she has provided him with cooks, maids, and nanny's. Can you imagine having all those people in your home 24/7? No wonder Jon flipped out!! Would I watch a show where Kate picks out a new slave? Are you kidding? What about the Children? Oh I forgot this is for the Children. ha ha ha Great interview with Jon!

I'm new at this site, so please forgive me for saying that I wasn't much of a J and K follower except I would watch their show from time to time. I am not on either side also, so I won't be bashing either one. I do find it amazing that fame and money can change people so quickly though. No matter your religion and up bringing, fame and lots of money can take you to another direction, and in this situation sad for the kiddies.
