I still think a Kate Gosselin/Michelle Duggar episode of Wife Swap would be funny.
That would be great!! LOL!

That would be interesting to see The gosselins trade with the Duggars.

I could see where they both would have problems adjusting to their new roles. Kate doesn't deal with being a submissive wife (at least not on the show) and Michelle doesn't deal with six children who are all the same age.

This is an internet parody on a Duggar/Gosselin wife swap. There are three "episodes." Here is the link for the first one:

To be fair, Michelle has tons of help, too, not only from her older children, but they've also brought people in to do laundry, help with the children's lessons.

I do understand that it's a tough position to be in, being infertile. And not wanting to risk waiting.
Again, it's the attitude I have a problem with the most. After being fully warned that a large number of children was *very* likely, I think complaining about the likely result actually happening, and venting stress by being mean on immediate family *on television* is just outrageous. They got exactly what they were told they would likely get, and went into it fully aware that this could happen.
As someone who is currently undergoing infertility treatments... and one who has done 1 IUI (unsuccessfully), the words "very likely" mean very little. The average chance of becoming pregnant... even with more than one follicle/egg waiting, and even with an IUI with lots of active sperm... is still only about 25%. It's not like the doctor was saying that each of the eggs would definitely be fertilized, and it's not like he was saying that there was an 80%+ of having 6+ children. It just doesn't work that way.
Even knowing that you have a chance of being the mom & dad of 6-8 children does not mean that you know what it will be like in reality. I mean, haven't we all said "sure... I can handle that" and then thought twice about whatever "that" was later? I know I have. Sometimes we just plain don't realize how hard things will be. I don't think it's fair to tell someone that just because they wanted/struggled to get children that they can never complain that they are overwhelmed, or that they need help. It's a tough thing to take care of twins let alone other higher numbered multiples.

Have you ever worked in housekeeping? I worked in a hospital in the kitchen. But, the housekeepers made good money doing laundry. I would of taken that job just cuz the pay was better, but they never had an opening. The pay and benefits was good from what I hear. It'd be a good field to work in for someone who already likes doing that kind of work.
I hardly ever watch Jon and Kate, but it was on the other day. Something odd I noticed was that Kate always looks at Jon for his reaction every time she says something. Jon just looks into the camera and rarely looks to Kate for a reaction. I thought, considering how pushy Kate can seem, that it'd be the other way around. Maybe she's more nervous and worried than she is pushy or bossy and that fear makes her high-strung and more vocal. ...just a guess.

I don't know how Jon takes it. I don't watch the show, but I see enough clips to get a feel for the guy. I'm telling you right now it's only a matter of time before the guy snaps. That look on his face whenever Kate is running her mouth is the look of a man with nothing left to live for.
There are reports that he was seen with another woman. If it's true, hopefully that is all he's gonna do. Even my wife is surprised he hasn't done anything like this yet.
Hopefully it's all an act done for ratings. The directors tell them how to do their interviews to keep up the dramatic tension on the show, and nothing of how they treat each other is real. To me, that would be the best case scenario.

From what I have read, he took a picture with a couple of college girls while he was out (he spent time taking care of his mom, so he was away from home) and that is how that rumor got started.
He did say on their last show that he is unsure if he wants to continue. He hates being recognized every where they go.

I don't watch the show, but I do read comments sometimes. I read this a few days ago on MSNBC. You can read it and form your own opinion.

All I can say is those poor, poor kids. Somebody commented in our local (Reading, PA) newspaper today about how these two are famous like Paris Hilton is famous. They've done nothing noteworthy themselves to earn any of the fame. Of course, TV and papers have all been showing the video proof of Jon's "affair." I just feel so sad for the kids. Those twin girls are in school - they are old enough to understand what is going on - not to mention the other kids in their class.

I've seen all the episodes through my library, and the internet. Kate makes me want to smack her with DR Laura's book everytime she shows up on the screen. I also think that it's sad that they have dilluted themselves into thinking that everything is for the kids (ie: million dollar house, TV show, etc). The kids are cute though. I just feel VERY sorry for them.

It is rumored Jon is having an affair with a 23 year old school teacher. I don't know if an actual physical affair has happened but I do believe that not all is well with the Gosselins. I have felt for some time now that there were problems. Watching Kate do some interviews clearly shows that something is going on.
I just feel for the kids. Kate is gone a lot promoting her books and doing speaking engagements. I think the fame and fortune has really gone to Kate's head. She said in the interviews I saw that she wrote the books for her kids and didn't care if one book sold. My thought is then go home do a scrapbook for each of your children and stay home and take care of them. Writing a book for your children telling them how much they mean to her kind of loses its meaning when thousands of people have those books that were written just for the kids. I really believe that for Kate it is all about the money. Meredith Viera asked her if it was all worth this to have a show. She basically said it just goes with the territory.
I think the new season will be interesting and wonder if there will be another. I really doubt there will be after all the mess that is happening.

Photos were taken of him in the car with another woman. The tabloid implication is, of course, that there is some torrid affair going on, he says she is just a friend, but has apologized for not thinking through the implications... blah, blah, blah.
I haven't read every post on this thread, but I know that many sympathize with Jon for the grief he receives from Kate, but here's my thought. If he is a Christian man, he is typical of many Christian men in our culture. This victim mentality that husbands of strong women take is sad. It is laziness... she seems strong, so he lets her take over in ways that he has been equipped by God to cover. The reason that we are uncomfortable with Kate's finger wagging at her husband is because our spirit recognizes that her role is skewed. She cannot count on him for the nurturing, protective leadership that he was meant to provide for her. In that vacuum, she has recognized that SOMEONE has to do it, so it falls to her. How can she submit to a man who doesn't step up? I don't mean to get into a discussion about Marital roles (there's another forum for that) and I also don't believe that men and women have to subscribe to traditional tasks in the home. A man can be a stay-at-home dad and still be a leader in his home! God intends for a home to be a partnership between two adults, not between a grown child and a mother-figure.
I am a strong woman who chooses to submit to my husband (even when he'd rather I didn't). I'm not saying that we get it right all the time, either. I just feel like I'm robbing my husband of the blessings that God intends for both of us if I don't give him the chance to lead. It is a process and a choice-- especially when you are talking about a marriage between a passive man and a strong woman.

But it certainly would be interesting.
