  1. I can only guess that someone finally told KG that making your kids appear on a tv show is detrimental to his health. Kate has shown that she will stop at nothing to keep that gravy train going. (My opinion!). But NO WAY would she ever clue Jon in as to what was wrong if that's the reason why.He said in an interview that he would never sign off on letting the kids be filmed. That's her fear. If he has any control of the kids, she can loose her job. THAT's why she doesn't want him to have the kids.

    So, that's why I think he was sent away with his father having no idea why or where he is. If there's one thing I learned from having seen KG on her tv show-- this show WILL go on and anyone who tries to tries to stop her is history. So this way she looks like she is putting her son's best interests first. But in reality, in order to put your children first, you should quit the show.

  2. They most definitely can put their marriage and lives back together. It will take counseling and honest conversations with each other. It isn't easy as no one likes to admit negative things about themselves. But if they both apologize and honestly change the behaviors that led to this it can happen.

    My husband and I did it. We wanted to make it work and we were lucky. We both realized what we almost lost. ( married 29 years)

    You know . . . they have to realize this news could torpedo their show and their business in one fell swoop so I imagine they're in full damage control mode. I hate to be a cynic but it wouldn't surprise me if they pretend to reconcile just for the sake of their image then continue to live separately in private.

    Great point.

  4. I guess my problem is that they are willing to work and sacrifice for money(they need to work together to make money to avoid bankruptcy) but they are not  willing to work like that to keep their family together(separated and dating after you work to conceieve a baby through fertility treatments, and baby is 1)

    How do you know you couldn't work through any problems if you didn't hang around long enough to try?

  5. I don't begrudge either one of them for borrowing money from parents or living with them when they were younger. That little bit about them having to live in their parents garage made me think they stuck together through the hard times. 

     

    What I do blame them for is mismanagement of money now that  they have how many seasons of flip or flop? -and they are paid how much per episode? How many thousands?? Much more than the average joe makes. Then to have a new baby on top of a 5 year old. A new baby they needed IVF to get here, then to say we are splitting and dating other people when that child is 1 is what I have a problem with.

    In my own opinion, you can't be more selfish than that.

  6. Now that she threw her marriage away with both hands lets hope she 's not  on a new show saying "I'm a single mom" every 5 minutes the way Kate Gosselin is. I hear that and say, whose fault was that? You were the one who didn't want to be married anymore and took up with the body guard. Now Christina too, with whoever she was with.

    It's a shame no one wants to work on marriages anymore. It's too easy to get a divorce. Especially with such young children. Did you get those fertility treatments so you could expand your family for the next 3-4 months you were together?

  7. Someone has way too much time on her hands. Or should I say the nannies hands? What mother of a 1 year old baby and 5/6 year old daughter has time to be out trolling for a man while also hosting flipping renovation tv show? 

    Most moms are too wrapped up in being a mom and trying to get their old bodies back. Which I guess isn't a problem when you put your husband and kids in the back seat, and focus on yourself.

    I cant believe everything in this article. I thought all those millions of court dates filed and court stories had to do with her youngest sons father, now it's her older son's father as well as her son himself! 

    I hate to be the one to point out the obvious. BUT, maybe if you had a stable relationship with the men you have kids with then you could have children without all this court drama.

    I can't see Jana leaving. She couldn't even stand up to Jessa regarding which crappy pictures to put on the wall. It would take a hell of a lot of conviction and strength to walk away from a family and belief system that she's been a part of for nearly thirty years. I don't think Jana has it in her. I hate to say it, but she's probably going to remain unmarried and stuck at the TTH, raising her siblings' children. I'd love to be proven wrong, but every instinct we've had about the Duggar kiddults has been right thus far. 

    This makes me sad. Jana seems like such a nice sweet girl. Much more so than her sisters who are already married. I can't believe she isn't married herself, , but I don't think she wants to be. It seems criminal to make her raise her sisters kids on top of raising her siblings, which was bad enough!  On top of that not going to college or getting a part time job just to get out of the house makes me crazy just thinking of it.  When you think of Jana being deprived of all that and multipiled by 19.... Michelle should be charged with neglect, imo. Especially when you think  not only all this, she failed to protect these kids from their brother. What laziness bordering on criminal, really.

     

    Great post! I agree completely. I stopped watching this show when the abuse from Josh came out. I just couldn't reconcile such abuse in regards to all the  other children who suffered because of it, with no reaction, really from the parents. It was completely wrong., and with everything else, I'm at a loss how to explain it. So, I'll just say I stopped watching, that says it all.  I also like to read other peoples opinions of this family. I agree with so many of you. You seem able to say what I'm thinking, but say it so much better than I do!

    LOL! I meant to quote ChurchHoney, not myself! haha!

  12. I understand the parents wanting to protect Burke. I am a parent, too. I definitely understand. But what about JB? She also deserves protecting. Not only did she loose her life at only 6 years old, but she was being sexually abused from someone. She didn't get any protection from that and it didn't happen only once, according to the medical examiner. That really bothers me about this.

    There is definitely something wrong with Burke. 

     

     

    There is so much of this case that doesn't add up.  I don't understand covering up for the other parent if you think that parent has been sexually abusing your 6 year old!  Why would you do that ? to keep up that lifestyle? That life style would be meaningless to me without the 6 year old!

    Where did JR go and what did he do that morning he went missing? Probably getting rid of evidence. They washed down JB and staged the crime scene, and  so much was lost. 

    I never would have been able to say, I'm much too distressed to speak now"  I can't believe they were allowed to say that. No wonder he had a last minute business meeting he couldn't miss! Get us out of dodge so they don't ask us anything else! 

     

    He had older children. Ask them what kinds of things go on in that house. Were the older ones ever abused? Did they ever have toileting issues? 

    or how about someone asking them if they ever had issues with smearing  feces around the house?!

  13. From what I read online once a child has mastered toilet training and returned to bed wetting and especially soiling during the daytime it is a huge indication of sexual abuse. 

    I agree that something was happening to JB right before the murder happened. It's so sad that this was happening to her, and no one was ever charged with this abuse. 

    In my own opinion, I don't think there was ever an intruder. I think it probably was her father or brother and her mother was protecting Burke. That's why the staged crime scene and why Patsy never got undressed that night. I believe the grand jury got it right by wanting to charge the parents with child abuse resulting in death.

  14. Someone of her means surely has someone doing the laundry? I find it very odd she would put the same clothes on from the night before. Very very few times have I done that, and when I did, I didn't feel they were "clean" clothes I was wearing. I think whoever said she just never went to bed had it right. (face and hair still done, too).

    There was a 911 call placed a few days before JB was found. The caller never said anything. Just hung up. Also Patsy  called and recalled the pediatric doctor

    during this time.  I think some thing was going on, but I don't know what.

    Sad to think they were planning to go to two other family vacations-- Michigan to their vacation house and a Disney cruise. Its so weird to me to be planning to go on these types of vacations planning to bring diapers and pull ups for a 6 year old. If you figure out why she needs those then you figure out who is causing the sex abuse.

    I read a book "See Jane Run" by Joy Fielding.  The story was about a woman who lost her memory during a violent /horrific event. Turns out the horrible event her mind tried to forget was her daughter being victimized by her husband, a doctor. The last thing she did before she "left the house and her mind" was to smash a heavy vase over her husbands head, almost killing him.

  15. I haven't seen in anything I've read that describes the kind of sibling relationship between Burke and Jonbenet. Does anyone know? I know I can assume all siblings quarrel at one time or another, but were they at each other's throats morning and night?

    Burke has been noted as being "off" by people that have come across him. His strange issues with feces....putting it in her bed, on her presents, and smearing it throughout the house. These are not normal signs! I'd have a hard time leaving her alone with him.

  16. Just a few of my thoughts. I also borrowed a copy of FF on my Amazon Kindle. Thank you for the suggestion! :-)

     

         I think the Ramseys staged JBR body because they were protecting someone. I think there is someone they would both work  together to protect. The fact they seem estranged/keep separate from each other  while police were there speaks volumes to me. A few things could have happened:

    Someone early on suggested PR may have caught JR abusing JBR and may have struck out with that kind of force at HIM but may have accidentially hit Jonbenet instead.

    Or, there is so much strange behavior going on with Burke I wouldn't be surprised what he did. If he did anything, then there is the whole reason to stage her murder. They were hiding his past sexual abuse  of her from everyone.

    Personally, I think a kid would make a cup of tea exactly that way, in whatever first glass they reach first. Getting a bowl of fruit is something simple a 9 year old can certainly do. 

    If the two kids were up and getting something to eat (or Burke was getting something. Then JBR woke up and came down) they could very well have a fight over anything and have it get out of hand. That would explain Patsy saying she never got him the snack.

     

    I just don't believe there was an intruder. They would have left something of themselves behind.

     

    The way JBR was wrapped like a papoose in her blanket reminds me of how you swaddle a newborn baby. Someone was showing remorse and caring for this child, just like when she was a baby. 

    Unfortunately, I think they had enough money and influence to get out of this mess. If this happened to anyone else we would be cast as misfit parents and rotting in jail somewhere.

  17. I thought Burke couldn't be charged for a crime even if his parents hadn't covered up for him? Colorado law at the time could only charge juveniles age 10 and older? Burke was 9 at the time.

     

    Also, I didn't like the show playing down the minimal aspect  of sexual abuse. The autopsy clearly stated " ....evidence of prior sexual abuse,"

     

    I have been reading and researching. This link provides excellent info if you are interested in more reading.

  18. I'm surprised if the Duggar adult children are really against filming. I wouldn't expect them to have the idea that their parents exploited them and their childhood. I would hope they would rebel against their parents and their rigid rules. Rules their parents didn't have to live by, so that makes them hypocrites. That was what I would hope. Their own tv show would come in very handy when you don't have a job or education and have no plans to use contraception. Otherwise, how will they live and pay their bills?

    Now if only the Gosselin children would revolt! (I believe they will someday).
