Kate Gosselin - Mother of the Year

[bionicmlle]

She admitted she received no message threatening her from me. I was trying to figure a way to block her and hit the follow button twice by mistake. Finally unfollowed her and figured I'd just have to make myself ignore her posts. When she admitted the truth, I got just a weee bit pissed and told her she had me freaking out thinking my identity was stolen, stalking was a serious charge to be throwing around, and that she owed me an apology for telling a bald faced lie about me and should apologize to the board for lying to them too. There was a LOT more I wanted to say, but I was so mad I couldn't think straight enough to articulate just how badly she pissed me off or how much I wanted to put my foot so far up her ass that she'd be sneezing my shoelaces. If y'all ever come across Mary Starr over there tell her I said she should go fuck herself with a cactus & go to hell. Eh, nevermind that bitch is crazy and mean. I still don't know how to block people on Radar, dammit. Mary is still making snide comments about me and my pretend husband, and it makes me feel so bad and embarrassed. I made a simple mistake trying to block her so I wouldn't feel this way. I shouldn't have let her words hurt me, but they did. Now everyone that posted on that thread will think I'm a crazy stalker & I shouldn't care, but I do.

Dangit, where are my manners? Thank you so much bionicmlle, your kindness is greatly appreciated.

Sticks and stones? fuck that. words hurt, even if they come from strangers!!! It's hard to keep up a wall. I especially liked this part: "I wanted to put my foot so far up her ass that she'd be sneezing my shoelaces." Well done. I'll be using that one and referencing you, at least in my head because saying, out loud, "that's from laura oz and I know here through this forum about the Duggars and Patriarchy - have you heard of fundamentalist Christians?" doesn't really help me with social interaction, which is already awkward…..

Bionicmlle, you made me smile and LMAO. Thanks for being there and I hope one day I can return the favor. You're a good person & feel free to use my shoelace line anytime you want. BTW I doubt I'll ever post over there again, but I'll go back to what I usually do: reading the gossip. Those two bad apples just left a bad taste in my mouth. Who knew cruel tasted sour? :lol:

I only "bailed" because Mela has a rage issue when it comes to stupid. I don't have an off button after a certain point.

I will always come to your rescue, tho!

So do I apparently. I'm sort of embarrassed about what I wrote, but you should check out her comments that drove me to it. She aint miss sugar and spice. You know I've got your back too, Mel.

[Curious]

Kate has probably *the* worst fans out there. Just ignore them. My advice is don't engage because they won't listen. You can see that from the one sheeple we have here, that it doesn't matter what you say or what logic dictates they give Kate a pass. The sheeple we have here calls out the duggars all the time, but totally gives Kate a pass on everything. It makes no sense.

[laura oz]

Curious I have liked your post and just needed to share that with you. Who says you aren't a fluffy bunny? :D

[laura oz]

Aaaaaaand, she's still at it. Opened the old email and had a notification of her new comments. I just ignored it because that kind of single-minded harassment and fanaticism is beginning to scare me. Ain't nobody got time for that.

PS does anyone know how to block someone on Radar's Disqus message board?

I think you can do it through Disqus, and it'll block them on all avenues

I deleted my account. Her squawking about harassment and stalking added to the long list of incredibly evil and cruel things she said to me were too much. I made 2 last posts. She kept saying she had never said anything bad or ugly to me and I had mental problems. One of the posts was listing every single horrible thing she said in her hate speech filled posts to me- I'd elaborate here, but just don't have the heart for it right now. If you want to read the list it's on Radar. Her response was to ignore how badly she contradicted herself and to start squawking harassment and stalking on a PUBLIC forum. The second comment was addressing her about the emails I challenged her to produce that I had supposedly sent. Her response was it didn't go to her regular email and I knew that since I had sent them. In other words, she lied right through her teeth.I don't want to type about it any more, but I would appreciate it if maybe a few of y'all could peruse my comment and hers and let me know which one of us came off as the craziest. I need people outside the situation to be objective, and would really appreciate it. This whole thing has me feeling bad about myself. I'm MRS O and she is Mary Starr. Should have listened to Curious because she was right.

The answer to all things like this is the following

:crazy people be crazy

[laura oz]

When I woke up this morning, the usual monthly visitor had showed up. PMS makes me a mega bitch to the point I can't stand myself sometimes. Even though it's yucky outside, I'm in a super good mood, and my drama queening and bitching are gone until next month. I must have been extra bitchy this month cause the spousal unit made me pancakes and sausage, and brought it to me in bed :D Thanks for letting me vent and let my crazy bitch flag fly y'all! ;)

How does he know that they have problems when he's hardly involved in their lives? Kate is the primary parent.

How do you know involved he is in their lives? They have joint custody and the children now spend a lot more time with him since he has them when she is traveling.

Well, he has said he has them every other weekend and a Tuesday dinner visit. That is not joint custody. That's 4-6 nights per month depending on if he has them f-m or f-sun or sat-mon etc. so it's more of an80/20 split

Joint custody does not mean equal time. I don't know of many custody arrangements that splits kids time equally between the parent's homes. Most custody arrangements are like this one when it comes to where the children spend time. Joint custody means involvement of both parents in major decision making regarding the children. I'm sure Jon also has some extended summer vacation time with the children. He also is on record as saying he gets the first opportunity to watch the children if Kate will be away for extended time and they will be left with a baby sitter. Parents can be involved in their children's lives and have a relationship with them if they make an effort.

She didn't do IVF. She did ovarian stimulating hormones to produce more eggs and they were going to do an IUI (turkey baster) that cycle but the doctor identified the hyperstimulation of her ovaries and canceled it. They went and had sex AMA and ended up with HOM.

She was a nurse and did her research well. Fertility doctors are running a business, and assume their patients are telling them the truth about their difficulties. I don't think she had PCOS. I think she had a bad case of "liar, liar, pants on fire" & she wanted HOM because she wanted the freebies and was more than ready to milk that cash cow dry. She was fascinated with the McCauphey(sp???) family, and saw all the free stuff and attention they got.

I'm beginning to feel weird that I know so much about them :? The twins' birthday month John had them over half the month because Kate & her honeybear Steve were on a book tour for her fabulously successful cookbook. Old Kate was in no hurry to get home to her kids after the tour, and went with Steve to hit casinos and gamble after the tour was over. Don't know if she made it back for their birthday or not. For their sake, I hope so.

I know what it means. I thought you were referring to joint physical custody. They do have joint legal custody. My ex has joint legal custody and sees the kids every other weekend as well. He's definitely involved although I'm the primary caretaker.

I would not be surprised if the sextuplets have been emotionally stunted. They have been infantilized by their mother for a number of years. She still talks about them like they are 6 years old just look at her "cook book". She had them in high chairs until they were in first grade. I am sure there is also some emotional problems. I would not be surprised if some of them are getting teased/bullied about things on the show.

[laura oz]

laura oz I have NO idea about any of that, either, but I'd probably change your email passwords and all that just in case. Also, if Radar requires a password or internet profile to post (I read there daily but never comment), definitely change that password or even delete the account that is linked to the handle you use on Radar. Who cares if some stupid blow-hards are being meangirlz on there, let them think you flounced if need be.

If I start a new account on Disqus, will other posters be able to see my email address or IP in any way and know I'm the same person with a different name? Will I get in trouble for having a sock?

[PennySycamore]

I've posted on Disqus with two different names. One was my Disqus name and one was my yahoo name (I think) because I logged in under my yahoo account. It's been a while since I logged on under my real name. I prefer using the Disqus name as I'd been posting at Tom and Lorenzo using that name.

[laura oz]

Thanks so much, Penny!

I knooooooow! I got such a kick out of that. There was some yapper going on that its "obviously just Kate haters".

[Hane]

Tiny bit OT here: Wayyyyyy back when the sextuplets were tiny, I watched the show for my first and only time. Some time before getting her tummy tuck, Kate angrily showed all of us out there in TV Land her (understandably) flabby and distended abdomen, in a "Look at THIS!" move. I swear, her tone of voice strongly implied, "And it's YOUR [the audience's] fault!"

Narcissist or what?

(Of course, I may be projecting: During a dip in the stock market, my mother once dramatically announced to me, "I lost $12,000 today!"--as if it were my fault somehow.)

Snap! I remember "the jowls of the dog" as she and John called it. I don't think you're wrong about the tone either, Hane. This is the same woman who said that - paraphrasing here- science and society had given the possibility of HOM and it was society's place to help support them. She was a greedy and demanding bint even then :roll:
