what would you do if you were jon gosselin's mother?

It's been a while since I have paid any attention to this story at all. I had just gotten so tired of all the back and forth, the accusations and denials. It seems that both Jon and Kate were trying to portray themselves as the victims, when it's really the kids that are the victims here. Jon's behavior is definitely more immature. I didn't hear about the lawsuit, although it doesn't surprise me that it would go that route. I don't know if Jon should be accused of using the kids as leverage to have the lawsuit dropped. i think it's more likely his lawyer told him he was going to lose the suit and the kids would end up being on the show anyway, so it would be best to just come to an agreement where he wouldn't be liable for the expenses incurred for halting production. I myself won't be watching any new episodes. I liked Jon and Kate Plus 8. I knew there was dysfunction there, but who's family doesn't have a bit. It was a matter of them working things out. With all the exposure Jon and Kate have gotten throuh the mess, I find myself not really liking them as people. Now, if I was jon's mom, I probably would have smacked him at the begginning of all the "affair" rumors and told him that his behavior was unacceptable. If he didn't want to be married that's one thing, fine, get a divorce. But cheating, and running around was hurting his children and disrespectful to a woman he made a commintment to and at some point loved.
