When the book came out I noticed that the author is Beth Carson (along with Kate Gosselin). On the TV show “Jon and Kate Plus 8″, it has been shown that Beth Carson is a friend of Kate’s, so I assumed the book would lack an experienced writing style. I was wrong! This book is VERY well written with an excellent flow and time-line of events.

The story is told by Kate with details that go past what the TV show documents. One way to explain it is that the TV series shows the action while the book provides insight into the emotional roller coaster and thoughts experienced by the parents, immediate family and some volunteers. Kate does a good job of explaining the mental and physical stress of raising six infants, along with a set of twin toddlers. Kate didn’t paint herself as a saint and openly talks about the times she was wrong and as she stated “not winning any friends”. As a mom myself of multiples I thought the book gave an accurate portrayal of the stress of bed rest, carrying multiples, and the mental exhaustion that takes it’s ugly toll on relationships.

The book discusses the inital fertily treatment (an IUI), Kate’s hospital stay while on bedrest, their early days in a condo by the hospital and their first house (not the house seen on TV). Each chapter of the book has a personal photo from the Gosselin family which are fairly generic and similar to what has been seen on the TV series. But unlike the TV series the book goes into detail about the parents of Jon and Kate and other immediate family members. Those family members are mentioned lovingly quiet often which Fans of the show may find interesting.

The book does have many religious references, but are not stated in a preachy way. They seem to be made only to point out the reasoning behind decisions Jon and Kate made, and to follow the title/theme of the book Multiple “Blessings”.

I have noticed many negative reviews and it seems they are based on a personal disagreement with the Gosselin’s lifestyle. Of course everyone is entitled to disagree with the Gosselin’s — I don’t always agree with what I see on TV myself. BUT unfortunately it seems the majority of negative reviews have nothing to do with the contents of the book and more to do with the flood of recent tabloid press the family has received. The book doesn’t seem to be written to make themselves look good – but written more in a diary style. Whether you are a fan or a critic, I think you will agree that the book is well written. Multiple Blessings is a fairly quick read that is well worth it for anyone who is curious about this family or for someone who has struggled with raising multiples. Enjoy!

I love this show but I have to admit that Kate gets on my nerves. She is really mean to Jon. She is really good with the kids but I don’t know I really get mixed feelings from her. I think Maddie is defintely like her mother!!

Question by Mami Chulo: Is Kate Gosselin a good example of mothering?
I started watching the TLC show Jon & Kate plus 8 as it seemed to be an interesting insight into the struggles and joys of having so many children. However, as time went on I couldn’t believe the negative, nagging, controlling drama queen that Kate Gosselin showed herself to be! Frankly, the sound of her voice yelling once again, at a child or her husband because they weren’t doing something “right” made me grit my teeth! It became obvious that this is the true colors of this woman, and she really loves being the center of attention and cracks mean-spirited
jokes” at the expense of her husband &/or children for the entertainment of the cameramen! Kate, “Alexis would you like an alligator one day?” a beaming Alexis, “YES! I want an alligator!!” Kate, “well that’s too bad you are never going to get one!” grins at camera..!!! That’s just mean! Frankly, I for one am boycotting the show. I think the kids are cute but, I can’t overlook or try & ignore the “Kate Show” or in anyway support this mean, egotistical, control freak profiting while feeding her massive ego. How disappointing!
freckleface- of course it is necessary to be organized but is it necessary to be hyper-critical, not interactive and just plain MEAN!!! i don’t think so! Would you feel so overwhelmed if you had people cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry, supplying your food, nannying your kids………of course you wouldn’t! It seems as if the more Kate gets ($, vacations, mansion, services, attention for herself) the bitchier she becomes! I for one look to the family shows on TLC for inspiration and encouragement of good parenting….neither of which are evidenced by the negative shrew that Kate has shown herself to be! Look at Amy Roloff of “Little people,big world”, she shows a normal frustration, irritation with her kids behaviors at times, but that is always balanced with a loving concern and guidance & she actually does stuff with her children and ENJOYS THEM!!!!

Question by quintynsmommy: What do you parents think about John and Kate plus 8? Good parents or exploiting their kids?
I like the show, for the most part. But I really don’t care for Kate. I don’t have an opinion one way or the other on their financial motivations behind it, everyone has to make a living. But this family seems to take alot of heat and criticism, just wondering what other parents who watch think of Kate’s parenting style and disposition.

I thought of Gone and Hate Plus 8. Since Jon sounds like Gone and he does always seem to gone and Kate sounds like hate and she is hateful acting sometimes, and the 8, the 8 kids have to deal with all of this mess, they’re just innocent children than have been forced to live with a camera in front of them practically their whole lives, maybe that’s why Mady is always in an angry mood all the time.

So what do you think?

I know there has been a season finale recently, and Jon as sued TLC network to discourage the filming of his children. Of course they probably won’t be on TV for at least a year or two I think.

However, do you think they will ever come back? Obviously not as Jon and Kate plus 8, maybe just Kate plus 8, or a one-hour special? I think they will.. whats your opinion?

I’m making a video and theres not very good pictures on google and i need some older ones. So is there any website i could go to i already tryed tlc and they didnt hav many photos i also need some short clips of them. thanks!

My family is going on a trip across country in and RV nad wonder what some cool places to go are? Please no places that are historic more places that are more fun than historic. Also we saw episodes of Jon and Kate plus 8 and they went to cool places where did they go? Thanks and maybe an RV tips of things to pack or anything helpful. Thanks soo much

k, so i was listening to that one song..i think it’s called ‘whatcha say’ but i’m not really sure and i thought it would be funny if i had clips from jon and kate plus eight while that song was playing it’s a pretty stupid idea but so is most of the vids on youtube.

i don’t know if she did a good dance or not

I used to like the show John & Kate plus 8 – but to me it seems to have changed and now it’s about product endorsement, self-promotion and free luxury trips. I’ve read the website gosselinswithoutpity.com and they make some interesting points. Since it is a reality show the restrictions that apply to protect child actors don’t apply to the Gosselin children. They do seem to be isolated from the real world because of this show. Unlike the Roloff kids from Little People Big World, who have friends and family over often and participate in sport and other activities – the Gosselin children don’t seem to have much in their lives besides the show. So, what do you all think – are they good parents or are they exploiting their kids for profit? And what do you think of Kate? Sometimes she rubs me the wrong way, just wondering if it’s only me?

I love it even better than I did before, because now Kate can have ALL of the kids all to her self, which I personally enjoy more:) I wasn’t fond of Jon always being there with them, I mean I know that is the point of the show, but I just enjoy it more now that they have divorced imo(: what do you think?
Well like most children that have to deal with their parents divorcing, they probably don’t feel that great, but Kate does not abuse the kids, that was just the paparazzi spreading rumors about her “supposedly” abusing them, but all she did was spanked Leah and that is not abuse imo.

i love that show and i just wanted to know who else loves that show
