How long did the Gosselin sextuplets stay in the hospital after birth?

The Gosselin sextuplets were born May 10, 2004. For premature babies, they were remarkably healthy. The first to come home (I believe Alexis and Leah) came home in June 2004, and the last (Aaden) came home in late July.

What property did Jon and Kate vacation in North Carolina?

A visit to North Carolina has been featured twice on the Gosselin's reality show 'Jon & Kate Plus 8" Summer 2008 - Corolla - Victorian Fantasea (See related links for the property name and listing details ) and Summer 2009 - Bald Head Island (Just Kate and the children.)

Why did Kate Gosselin fall out with sister-in-law jodi?

One Opinion

Kate's greed has pushed Jodie out of the picture. The producers of Jon and Kate plus 8 offered Jodie some financial compensation and supposedly Kate blew her top about it.

If you google you can find plenty of posts that confirm Kate is not a nice person. Manipulative, sarcastic.

I think Jon is just overwhelmed by it all and just trying to keep it all together. I am sure the reality sure has provided much needed income.

Where does Kate gosselin and the kids live?

WikiAnswers will not provide the address for Jodi, sister-in-law to Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's Jon and Kate Plus 8. While the question is legitimate on WA we refrain from posting detailed address (or phone number/cell phone/private e-mail/etc) information. For the safety of the family, WikiAnswers will not provide the detailed address for Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8 or their extended families. It is WikiAnswers policy not to provide personal contact information for celebrities and noncelebrities alike.

What do the neighbors of Kate Gosselin have to say about her?

Jodi and her husband Kevin were interviewed in Spring 2009, and the videos were released by several news outlets. (See related links for a few of the interviews) In the videos they have repeatedly emphasized their dismay over the situation and their concern for the children.

They have not insulted or put down Jon and Kate... they have revealed the truth of their own experience.

Where are the Gosselins extended family?

Both Jon and Kate Gosselin's families live close to the central Pennsylvania area where the Gosselin's live.

Jon's father worked in the same area where they currently live, but died when the sextuplets were little. Jon's mother lives nearby, but not close enough to be involved in the daily goings-on of the family. Jon's brothers have their own lives and keep in touch with Jon with phone calls and texting. See related link for a transcript of an interview where Jon discussed the family dynamic.

Kate's family lives close by, but for a variety of reasons are only involved with the family when they are off camera. Kate's parents and one brother live closest, while her other siblings live in the region... so they are close.. but not close enough to be involved in their daily business. In 2014 Kates sister revealed that she had not communicated with her sister in 6 yesrs. While Kate tweeted that she did not know her sisters phone number. Researchers noted that the phone number turned up at the top of a simple search using a major internet sesrch engine. Clearly it is a complicated, and painful, relationship with two sides hurting, and who all value familial ties.

Jon was asked about the grandparents in a 2009 interview with Shauna Lake of the "Utah News." He stated that his father is dead, and his mother doesn't live nearby, but she also didn't want to be filmed. As far as Kate's parents, of which she has 3 sisters & 1 brother. Jon stated there are like 19 grandchildren and her parents have nothing to do with any of them or any of their grandchildren. Jon described it as a weird family situation, but how it was with Kate's family: "it's like when the kids left the nest, they left the nest".

It is some people's opinions that this combination of families: EQUALS=two totally dysfunctional families that has contributed why Jon & Kate act/behave as they do.

Kate's sister-in law Jodi used to help babysit all the children. At one point, Kate had a fit and falling out with her brother and his wife, when TLC wanted to pay Jodi for the work she did on the show.

There was also an incident with Kate's father. His church had come up with some donated clothing, but because they didn't match, Kate didn't want them. Spawning a fight with her father, thus her leaving and joining another church. Thus Kate has alienated herself from her siblings & parents,

Did Jon and Kate buy their new home or build it?

When the sextuplets were first born, the Gosselins could barely afford a 12-pack of toilet paper rolls, but as you can see, that has changed. After the producers contacted the Gosselin family and the filming began, the show became Jon and Kate's job. Now, all their money has come from their show, books, speaking engagements and personal appearances. They live off that income. I have to say, it seems like the show provides them with a lot of money because they can afford countless vacations, the new house, all the clothes, two new puppies, many trips to the zoo and shows etc.

What is the difference between Cara and Madelyn Gosselin?

Cara and Madelyn Gosselin may be twins, but they are two different people and they are not identical.

Cara is more sporty and Madelyn is more into girlie things. For Cara's special day she went rollerblading, as Madelyn chose to get her ears pierced.

They are two different people.

Have you ever known twins before? They're never one in the same.

Also, Cara is the quieter one or the pair. She also bottles up her feelings and lets them all out in one go, not always making sense at the time.

Mady is usually described as the bad twin because she is loud and moody and rowdy. She can sometimes be a brat, but that may be the result of being a minor celebrity. She has also been filmed since she was extremly young so this will also have a effect.
