Jon & Kate Separation Date Confirmed

Jon & Kate will be officially separated as of July 15. This comes from a May 28 report from the National Enquirer, which we can't always believe. Jon & Kate Gosselin's marriage has officially ended. This is what the tabloid says. A "source" stated, "Jon said their goal is to be legally separated by July 15 because Kate wants to move on quickly."

Jon & Kate should try marital counseling first, before the dramatic step of separating. Because once Jon & Kate are separated, a divorce will be inevitable. We all would like Jon to divorce Kate, since there is mounting evidence that for the past 10 years, Jon has been a victim of battered man syndrome. We can call him a wuss and wimp, but wouldn't it be nice for the eight kids if Jon & Kate went to marriage counseling, Kate straightened herself out, and they all lived happily ever after?

But Kate Gosselin is too bone-headed to go for marriage counseling. She doesn't think she's done anything wrong: typical abuser mentality. The Jon & Kate show is not a "sham," like so many people believe (read the reams of posts to all the Jon & Kate articles in cyberspace). If the cameras are taping the sextuplets playing in their driveway, getting into fights, eating, etc., then this is the real thing.

I doubt that the camera crew instructs Collin to take a swing at Joel, and then for Joel to start screaming. Jon & Kate have done very little to teach their kids to be quieter. It's apparent that these kids have had little contact with other kids their age -- the sextuplets, that is. Maybe if they were around other kids their age more often, they'd learn better behavior skills.

The season premier of Jon & Kate mentioned that the sextuplets were allowed to invite one friend (if I'm not mistaken, ONE) to their birthday party, but I saw the friends of only two fo the sextuplets. And why just one friend for each? The sextuplets spend way too much time being confined to just each other.
