<p>Oops for Jon:</p>
<p>[Judge</a> Orders Jon Gosselin to Return $180,000](<a href=“http://omg.yahoo.com/news/judge-orders-jon-gosselin-to-return-180-000/29435?nc]Judge”>http://omg.yahoo.com/news/judge-orders-jon-gosselin-to-return-180-000/29435?nc)</p>
<p>Agree with you, northeasternmom, that Jon is again going down that familiar road with his new girlfriend.</p>
<p>^^ That line in the article about his GF handling his schedule shows me that he is the way he is, and he is not changing. He certainly is not a “quick study”. LOL, if I were her I’d run for the hills, but perhaps she wants to take charge just like Kate.</p>
<p>On another note, I cannot believe that I have even followed a little bit of this saga!! Now I find myself commenting on it. Sheeesh! I don’t know why I am even slighly focused on this, even in passing!!!</p>
<p>^^Well, she should be ready for him to bolt to divorce court at some time in the future. She’ll get bossy and frustrated; he’ll be passive and feel hen pecked. He’ll find some “friends” that he’ll meet in a bar. Tears, tabloids and divorce…</p>
<p>
But preferably before you have a litter of kids.</p>
<p>I have an idea for an episode of “Wife Swap”. I’d like to see Michelle Duggar and Kate Gosselin swap households for a few days.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I doubt very seriously that, if TLC permanently cancelled the show, we would not see the end of Jon & Kate. I think even if there were no more show, the paparazzi will continue to hound them until those kids are grown up and out of the house. Every major move they make now regarding their lives (financial, dating, moving, etc.) can be guaranteed to end up in the tabloids. I don’t see anyway of making this go away.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What a great idea! I’d watch it just to see Kate in Michelle Duggar’s clothes, and vice versa!</p>
<p>I think it would be hysterical! Think of the ratings they would get.</p>
<p>I think that your Wife Swap idea is terrific.</p>
<p>Love the Wife Swap idea. Let’s see Kate homeschool all 18 kids. Although I think the Gosselin kids might get the better end of the deal.</p>
<p>I thought Jon & Kate were dysfunctional from the beginning. I would cringe at the way she talkedhttp://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/ to him sometimes, even taking into account that it was probably edited to look the worst. It seemed to me in the few episodes I saw early on that Jon was willing to step up and help take care of the kids but his efforts were never good enough for Kate or up to her standards of cleanliness/healthiness, etc. Many guys would just stop trying after a while.</p>
<p>There’s enough blame to go around for everyone.</p>
