Yeah, we'll see when the divorce goes through just how much Jon wants to be "normal." again. Can't imagine he'll be driving a 1993 toyota tercel and living in a one-bedroom apartment, with a 9-5 IT job anytime too soon, which is what would happen if they never did the show.

Although he wants no part of the limelight, and Kate is being so highly criticized for it, he'll certainly want his half of the revenue. Sure, Kate had a ghost writer for the book, and everyone wants to hang her to dry for it, but he won't have any problem getting his half of its profits as well.

Kate is a total Type A personality, who feels very out of control when things are not scheduled, and planned, and coordinated. Add having 6 babies all at once who's care is dependent upon that type of control and scheduling and its easy to see how she got out of hand with her control-freak side.

Jon is a laid back slacker of a guy, who probably hasn't picked his own socks out of the middle of the living room floor for 10 years without her having to nag him for it. Add having a little mini-mid-life crisis to that, with a cute little check texting him 100 times a day, reassuring him that he got the raw end of the deal, and that he has been horribly, horribly taken advantage of by being expected to bathe his kids, and take care of them, and you can see how he has turned into the sullen, sulking teenager that he is.

Nothing either of these two could have done would have kept them as angels in the public eye. NO parent could be scrutinized that closely and not be picked apart for their parenting styles. NO parent could parent 8 kids without nagging once in a while, or proclaiming that they were tired of cleaning up their diapers, etc.

They both need to buck up and realize that they have what they have - 8 kids, a crazy life, a relatively secure financial situation, etc. and make the best of it.
