Kate Gosselin Is A Monster.

A video surfaced last night of Kate Gosselin of Jon And Kate Plus 8 denying her thirsty children water, and it's already burning up the internet because everyone is loving feeling superior to this woman, but at this point Kate Gosselin basically has the same job as Spencer Pratt. They're colleagues. Reality TV Villains should have a union:

On the one hand, if she gives one kid water they'll all want water, but on the other, she gave herself water and, as the little girl says "drank it right in front of our face." Also, how thirsty do those bioengineered little freebie machines need to be to be craving WATER? Kids hate water. Those kids almost died. (Via WarmingGlow.)

In Kate's defense, she needs a constant supply of water to keep her hair growing out the front of her head. Not unlike a chia pet.

I agree with an American Patriot on this one. She's the worst. My mom isn't the greatest mom in the world, but first of all I know she'd tell us all to get a drink of water before we went on, and then when she asked "Can you throw me a water" she would have said "Can we get a couple of waters." And if not, she would have let me sip from the bottle before she even did.

She's the worst. Ever. Joe the Plumber and Carrie Prejean are all "I thought I was bad, but she's satan."

I wish the person that she asked for the water literally threw the bottle of water at her. And it hit her in the face. And her head fell off. And her kids drank her blood.

I agree, who says that kind of thing?

Best commentary on this video:
"It’s … I can’t … even …. she’s so cold, it feels like watching Ralph Fienes shoot that little kid in the back in "Schindler's List". And he was a Nazi. Who ran a concentration camp. Even crocodiles provide for their kids, and they eat half of them." (WWTD.com)

Oh right on! A child's whiny behavior totally justifies selfish, smug behavior from a parent. Parenting is all about revenge! At least we can take comfort in the fact that Kate sure did show her. Think twice about having desires, little Maddy. It's mommy first around these parts.
I can't wait to see what happens when Maddy brings home her first boyfriend. Kate Kay Letorneau.

Yeah, I think if I were in that situation as the mother, I would probably not ask the producer or whomever told her that there wasn't time to give the kids water if I could give my kids water. I would just give them the water bottle. And if I were the kid, I probably would have committed suicide by now, being that I was thrown into the horrific world of reality TV "stardom".

And what a bitch for taking a sip of water before her children. Like, okay, if we were at a park or something and we were all thirsty and we had nothing to do but be in that park and drink water, I might not even think about who gets the first sip and drink the water first. But, if there was any question as to whether or not there was enough time for my children and I to have a sip of water from the same bottle, I would let them drink instead of myself. Do I deserve an award for that? I deserve an award for that.

That One

The kids have probably built up enough criteria for emancipation, right?

I've watched this show a couple times, and in one episode she takes them to buy a couple of puppy's, because eight children obviously isn't enough responsibility. At the puppy mill (seriously), there was a shot of one of the kids crying, and the cameraman asked him what's wrong, because the crew are really the ones raising these poor children. "I'm scared of dogs", he whimpered. She ended up taking the weeks-old puppies back at the end of the episode. Why? Somehow were peeing on the floor.

You could argue that she's just a victim of a voyeuristic culture, but this woman deserves fifty times the public shaming and eventual irrelevance that's coming to her. I abhor tabloid culture, but I can't wait the five years it'll take to see her 250 pound, unloved body crying over a pint of Ben & Jerry's on the cover of Us Weekly.

This whole Jon & Kate thing makes me :( all over.

Okay let me preface this by saying i didn't watch the video because I'm at work, but I am still pretty disgusted by the stifling superiority of the commenters on this post. I hope no one sees an edited clip of me interacting with EIGHT of my children in a totally unnatural and contrived environment and decides outright that I don't deserve to be a mother. Also, I hope that I never have eight children. But anyway. Lindsay is right about how everyone just loves acting superior to her. This is why I love reality TV (this is why I hate reality TV).

So... we should never be disgusted by anyone's behavior? Or just parents' behavior? Or just parents of eight children? Or just parents of eight children who make their living off of those children? I just want to be clear on this.

Immediately giving that little girl what she was whining for -- over and over again -- would actually have been BAD parenting, believe it or not outraged peoples. The girl wasn't going to die waiting a few minutes. Haven't watched the show, and I'm sure she's the awful harpy everyone says, but this wasn't it. And the "That's adorable" comment was actually irony; she did not find the whining and shrieking adorable.

I'm a mom, and I'm with Kate on this one.

She was saying "That's adorable" to the girl putting the slinky on her head, not to the girl asking for water. Just to clarify. But I also haven't seen the show, and was confused by that too when I first watched this.

Ok, I understand some of the anti-Kate-hating here. And I don't often ever tell anyone how to be a parent because that's just rude to do. I will also admit that I have never really been interested in this show and have not seen an episode. But you have to admit that she seems like a down-right mean person here for taking a sip of water herself, in front of her child who commented just previously that she was thirsty. Kate got the water because she asked for water. The kid asked for water repeatedly (and began whining because that's what kids do) and didn't get any. And I don't know what kind of missing context would make this feel right to me, unless I guess the kid always complains about wanting water and it's just a thing she does. Does she always do that? I am seriously asking. I don't know because I've never seen the show. If not, then maybe she doesn't deserve her kids drinking her blood, but she's still a bitch, in my opinion.

Kate just knows Madie will get her bottle of water, instantly become bored with it like all her other toys and then demand Peligrino.

to Preston. Please. You need to learn that you don't give a child everything they want, every millisecond that they want it. And yes, Preston, that does include, WATER. The child will actually not die within the three minutes it's going to take for her to get her own bottle of water.

You should teach your children to be nice. In other words teach them to understand that people, including mommy, can't and won't produce everything they want on the millisecond they demand it. And yes, that includes water. If you take that piece of advice, then your kids may become nice kids, and may even grow up to be nice adults.
