"Gumgate" was no big deal at all. Kate doesn't like her children to have gum at that age because they get it in their clothes and other things. Jodi gave them gum. Kate is the parent, not Jodi. Kate was jutifiably mad and didn't go way overboard to Jodi. She did go overboard with Joel, but what parent hasn't.
And that blog is a complete joke, full of self-justification. Everything Kate does... bad. Everything Jodi does...good. I especially like the quotes on the side.
What this really is, is a blown up family money dispute. Jodi and her sister can play the angels, but family solves problems within the family, not by creating character-assassination blogs. They talk about it all being in the best interest of the kids, but most of what they talk about is how much money Kate is making. Kate didn't want them to make money off the show (for good or bad) and so they decided to take her down. That is not the moral high road in my opinion. Kate didn't take it public, Jodi's sister did. And vilifying the kid's mother is not in the best interest of the kids. It's bitter political tactics.
If I were Kate, I'd never let them have any contact with the kids again.
I dont know how i missed that the first time i responed to this post, but that is an inaccurate statement.
