jon is a jackass.

since he was kicked off for acting like everything but a father, he now wants to pull the plug on his wife and kids.

if anything he should want the show to continue at this point. its going to upset and completely change the lifestyle of his kids (who maybe havent had to foucs on the divorce given that their still filming and doing things). its not going to save whatever privacy they could have had or the marriage. the show is on the decline anyway.

all hes doing now is hurting the show in which is bankrolling his family and his kids future.

The guy has had three skanky girlfriends on the cover of US magazine. he’s hosting parties in Vegas. He’s Mr. Ed Hardy. And now his ego has been bruised since he’s no longer father of the year.

Unfortunately, their mom quit the only profession she has ever had in order to be a full time parent 4 years ago. Their dad got tired of parenting about 4 years and nine months ago and decided against being a man just before puberty. It seems as if both parents are being realistic. TLC controls the only income they have to provide for their circus of a family and they need to do whatever it takes to keep the money coming.

The most bewildering point to me is why Jon still can’t seem to get a job?! He is turning into the new Paris Hilton of reality TV. The only difference is that he doesn’t have an inheritance to fall back on.

I cannot imagine being married to Kate. Control freak to the extreme. Constantly ripping on Jon and treating him as a child. When Jon lets the kids be kids, she freaks out and has practically an on-screen tantrum. Before this season ever started, I wondered why Jon stays married to Kate. Why doesn’t he stand up to her. What in the world did he see in her. When it came out that he had an affair, it was no surprise to me.

As for the kids, they’re great. Cute and lovable.

What I hope happens is Jon is able to kill the show. It would be the best thing for the kids. Think what it must be like to be the older two girls at school. Their family dirty laundry heralded by the media.

And what I also hope happens is that TLC and other reality show producers/presenters stop sticking their cameras into the lives of children. Especially as a series. Maybe one episode or special, but not every week. You need only look how Hollywood has messed up child stars to see it isn’t good for kids. Hollywood/fame is too distorted of a world for kids to adequately handle, not to mention even understand. It needs to stop.

I’m on the kids’ side… get them out of the hands of those alleged adults.

While it is a long-overdue intervention, I really think he’s just doing it to act even more like a child. His timing is obvious: TLC takes his name off the banner and he has a tantrum about the entire premise of the show.

I think this is unique: an occasion where two wrongs DO make a right.

“Jon realized his [bank account wouldn't look so pretty], so he decided to put the brakes on the divorce and on the show”
