Kate Gosselin Lets Daughters Read Her Book

I think Kate needs to wake up and realize that she is no longer a celebrity and never will be again. Any recent news regarding her has all been negative. I think she probably lives in the past and has the kid watching old episodes of their show and crying about it what will never be again. I'm sure if they are reading her books it''s not their idea. She is one twisted woman. I just can't imagine why she doesn't date?

time for the phoney to prove the dog is alive not do a photo op of his empty dog-house.....after the 2 kids read the book that will be a total of 302 people who've read it

Her book? I thought she wrote it FOR her kids. Nice of her to share it with the kids AFTER she tried to sell it to the world. How many sales? Does the book contain the same excerpts Robert Hoffman recited from her diary? So many questions, so few answers.

PJ, until that book gets published, we won't get answers. Certainly not from Kate who still claims that we don't know the "Real Kate". (which begs the question...is she admitting to being fake on all those talk shows? )

I find it amazing that the author states that if the book weren't appropriate then Kate wouldn't share it.
Let us not forget that this is the mother who sent her kids to live with an Ex-Playboy Bunny. And THAT was appropriate?!?!

I still have Hoffman's book on my Kindle. Unfortunately Amazon has disabled the lending option for it or I'd be happy to share. I was worried that it would be recalled somehow but so far that hasn't happened.
It's rough reading. First I can't imagine the type of person who would actually write(type) that she had yanked her child up by his hair...or any of the other things reported in Hoffman's book. I would be so ashamed if I 'whipped my child into bed'(sic) and certainly wouldn't make not of having done it. Yet I completely believe that she did do these things. I loved the email re: the teeth bleaching---apparently the offer was only for Jon but Kate's reply was "yes for both".
PJ-I think Kate's book is actually subtitled something like "Letters to My Children". From what I've gathered (haha--no pun intended) the sales were absymal on it.
Holly--it's not so much the Playboy Bunny factor that bothers me as it is the (seeming) fact that she left her kids with a stranger for a week. From what I've read, KG & KW switched places for a week and KG played Mommy to Kendra's kid(s?) and vice versa. So, strange ladies in charge, unknown film crews in both houses...not thinking this is the best idea.

I have the book. I've read the book. It is disgusting. Robert Hoffman compiled the book from her own journals.
As for the author of this article, She supposedly wrote the book FOR her children. Why on earth wouldn't it be appropriate? Wikipedia says sales for "her" book were about 10,000. That's a failure. She probably has cases of them in her basement. I'm glad everyone lost money on this venture.

I would dearly love to get my hands on Hoffman's book.
'I Just Want You To Know' was such a failure that it led to the demise of several projects that were in the works for Kate.
Yet, Kate doesn't seem to realize that once a book bombs, it's tough to get new projects (and books) off the ground.

Susannah (love your posts, btw) the Playboy Bunny aspect only bothers me because Kendra was known for her "shock value". She stood out on The Girls Next Door because of her wild and free behavior. She continued that type of raunchy behavior on her own show. Granted her show since her baby was born depicts a maturing, loving mom, but there are STILL moments where she likes to shock with her sexual references.
What kind of supposedly loving mom would put her kids in a position of potential exposure to that and let it be filmed for "entertainment" purposes?

I wish I had a way to share Robert's book with the world. I'm not afraid of her lawyers. I think enough copies have been shared. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
