I don’t know about all of you, but it seems to me that the reason Kate was so absent minded was because she had a bug in her ear and prodcuction was talking to her. Haven’t you ever been on the phone talking and your child comes up “i want, i need” and you tell them to be quiet and wait until you are off of the phone or you ignore them??? It seemed more like that to me then her trying to dehydrate or “abuse” her daughter. Kids need to learn that you ask for something ONCE, and wait until the parent gets it. Not to keep whining and asking for it over and over again, this is how we create brats. I think she is a great mom.

Cut her a break! She was going to give her the water right then but they had to interview. If anyone taped me in my household they would get the exact same as Kate. And the spanking incident, that is just ridiculous. So what if she spanks her children, every mother does, she didn’t stage it she’s stressed. Her husband is alledgedly cheating on her, wouldn’t you be stressed too?
Oh, and she also has eight kids, all under 10.Leave them alone.

That is so wrong! The bad thing is mady was thirsty first and the kate ask for some water for her to drink and never gave mady even a quick sip. I just dont know about this anymore, I wish for the kids sake everyone would just quit watching so they will end the show. The kids no longer need to live this life she thinks is healty for them. Money should never be more important than your family..

Are ya’ll seriously dense?

That child complains constantly. She’s obviously not dying of thirst, and she can be patient until they’re done filiming ONE segment of the film. Kate didn’t deny her child a drink, she told her to wait a minute. Yes, she did have a drink of her OWN beverage in the meantime….but the difference is that, as a mother, she can take a quick sip and be done with it. Where a child would sit there with it for as long as it took to finish off the bottle.

Teaching your child patience (when it’s obvious that you’re not doing them any harm (Mady wasn’t passing out, she was whining)) isn’t wrong. telling them to wait isn’t wrong.

If you think thats abuse…you’ve got a seriously skewed perception of the world.

Although I don’t find this video as appalling as some people do (a little nasty, perhaps, but not necessarily abusive), I think Kate Gosselin has proven herself time and time again to be nothing but a shrill, bossy, fame-hungry gold-digger. Absolutely disgusting. Jon’s not as abrasive, but just about anyone looks like a laid-back fluffy bunny next to this woman.

I watched this show few counted times, actually I never liked any type of reality shows. I am not a ex-fan. I am just pointing at the fact of that woman behavior in front of her OWN kids… Does she pretend to be a Diva? Gosh… whatever if the girl is trying to demand attention, still is her daughter, that “mother” doesn’t lose anything just for giving the water to the girl. But for her the camera was most important…
Let me remind that we are living in a country where you can do a crazy thing and you get paid… highly. If we would know that there are other families in other parts of the world where they have to raise their kids in worse situations, and still, they love their kids giving their own life for them.
Better to think before getting married and having kids…but specially having kids. Nobody have got a master for parenting, but in matter of heart and mind, you don’t question any situation but you give love to your husband or wife and your kids.

I USED to be a fan of the show and the parents, however I began to notice a few things that bothered me.
One: how horrible and unappreciated Jon was treated by Kate.
Two: how many of the show’s regular “side characters” like Aunt Jodi and Jenny (the babysitter) mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
Three: How ridiculously obvious it was that they were advertising various products in their home (thus getting richer). For example, if the kids played with Play-Doh, the toy’s brand was always in clear sight; Jon constantly did pathetic, half-a*s spiels about Progressive insurance and the cameras would turn to the website which just ‘happened’ to be on their computer screen… the examples go on and on.
Apparently I wasn’t the only one who noticed these oddities. I read an article online about how, during Kate’s pregnancy, her father’s church donated cribs but Kate turned them away because they were used and did not match. Someone also DONATED a van, but Kate denied it because she hated the color. On a website that Jon used to run (it has been shut down), he stated that once the media found out about his sextuplets, they would be so rich that he would never have to work again… pathetically enough, that is now true. They now live in a 1.3 million dollar house, do not work, and go wherever they please free of charge. How are their children supposed to learn that people must work for what they want in life if everything has been handed to them since the day they were born? As far as they’re concerned, every kid is on TV and magazines and gets to meet Oprah and famous basketball teams. They live in a fantasy TV Land and are in for a very rude awakening of what the real world is like. Oh and the deal about Aunt Jodi and Jenny: well, since they were becoming well-liked regulars on the show, TLC wanted to compensate them financially but Kate threw a tantrum. She did not want anyone but herself and Jon to be paid for being on the show, in fact, she didn’t want ANYONE else getting attention so she kicked them both off the show. This woman is insane. I started off liking her but the fame has gotten to her head and turned her into a selfish, gold-digging monster. I no longer watch the show because I REFUSE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SHOW’S RATINGS AND THUS, HER PAYCHECK. If you agree with me, I highly encourage you to do the same.

That was horrible. How could she do that knowing that her daughter was thirsty and then drink it herself… right in front of Maddy. She could have let her have a drink. HOW COLD HEARTED.

I’ve never watched the show…*reality* shows annoy the hell out of me,since they’re not actually real.
That said, I am appalled by the video. I realize some *parents* in the real world do much worse to their children, but that doesn’t excuse Kate’s behavior. I find it sadistic. Ever been thirsty and unable to have a drink? It’s not pleasant.
