Kate & 8 Plus Jon

Jon Gosselin reunited with his brood today in Pennsylvania, where he was forced to answer the same question eight times in a row: Where you been daddy?

Meanwhile, Kate has been doing some explaining of her own -- after pictures surfaced of her allegedly spanking her daughter Leah in front of a bunch of paps.

Kate told Life & Style: "Whether the paparazzi are there or not, I am a mother first ... I love my children and when they misbehave, I discipline them as I deem appropriate for the situation."

Watch out, Jon.

16. I happened to catch an old episode the other day when they were putting shelving in the garage of their old house. I was kinda sad to see how he called her his love and she called him honey and actually looked like they loved eachother. Lucky the kids are pretty young and prob dont understand whats going on.

17. I to believe a spanking on the rear or a smack on the hand are appropriate in certain situations. Kids today are so out of control and have no respect the kid probably deserved it for not listening so get over it people!!!

19. I'm not that much of a fan of the show, nor the parents, but I feel Kate on that topic. I don't give a DAMN who is present, if we're out in public or whateva tha situation may be... whereva they may act out at, that's where their gettin' azzez whipped at. I'm not waiting till we get home, i'm not doing any time-out sessions... that's for practice at home. They need to know how to behave themselves in public, because if you act scared of society or police, they will try to rule you and run all over your azz.

20. The lady is a grown woman with kids, if one of her kids are misbehaving she has the right to discipline them. People are making this story bigger than it really is. Get over it already!

21. Is there a smart bomb that just kills parents? I'd like one dropped on these two.

22. Kate is definitely in the running of mother of the year. Her competion will be Octocrazy. Geez...she claims she is a mother first. She's anything but a mother. She's a witch looking to fill up her own bank account. Kate...your 15 minutes will hopefully soon be up. Those poor kids. She'll be sending them out to do hard labor if the show is cancelled. I seriously cannot stand this woman and her creeeeepy husband.

23. If you have a problem with the spanking of kids then YOU'RE the one. The one with the horrible kid that acts out of control and seems like your parent. Since when is discipline a bad thing? PLus, when you're out with your rude child you should be ashamed. Who hasnt seen that idiot who doesnt know how to raise kids in the store? Love that comment from the roseanne show "raising kids is like a factory, your main job is to make sure they're not returned defective", also, this show sucks, end it now,

24. Spanking is ok on rare occassions on very young children, Her daughter Leah is to old to need to be spanked. She should be able to talk to a child of this age without spanking her. She is taking the easy way out and not taking the time to talk to her daughter about her behavior. Most people dont spank their kids past the age of 5 if that.

25. i find nothing wrong with spanking a child when they arent listening. its not like these children are getting beaten or anything. she just let the fame get to her head and shes just going to have to learn the hard way.

26. Yep, Jon is "working" back on the TLC sweatshop set, so, did you notice Kate's NOT wearing short skirts, NOT wearing high heels, IS wearing a baseball cap to MAN-UP her look in front of Jon.

Her bodyguard lover must be waiting for the "change in clothing" when Jon leaves after his TLC "work assignment" on the backs of his 8 little kids.

Come on State of Pennsylvania, make a decision to protect these 8 little Pennsylvania kids. Otherwise, Pennsylvania will have to make room for them in Rehab, Jail or worse.

28. I have never seen the show but when I saw a clip of her and her daughter sitting side by side waiting to do an interview I really could not stand that women. Kate is drinking a bottle of water and the kid says she has not had anything to drink all day and is thirsty. This b#tch takes a big swig of the water and would not let her have any. I do not know what was going on before the cameras were rolling but there is NOTHING that can explain doing that to your child other than being the b#tch she appears to be. I think she is as phony and materialistic a person as there is. NOTHING is going to stop her from getting the media attention and money she craves. Well, 8 kids, 8 books in a few years. All the REAL behind the scenes family secrets will come out then.
