They are defending Jon. Basically they are saying Jon is the one that is there for the kids. They are also saying Jon has been verbally and physically abused by Kate and the kids are terrified of her wrath. Overall their message is they need to pull it together for the kids, but if things don't work out Jon should be the one to get custody.

The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Jon & Kate mom Kate Gosselin -- known for being short with her husband, Jon Gosselin -- is even more combative with her family and employees.

Baby nurse Angela Krall, who watched the sextuplets as infants for more than a year, tells Us that the short-fused Kate fired 40 nurses and nurse's aides in the three months before she was hired.

A 2005 Associated Press story reported that a pre-TV Gosselin had petitioned the state to extend payments for Krall, whose fees were first paid by Medicaid (Jon was unemployed; Medicaid provides limited assistance to premature babies).

"Kate Gosselin said she feels society has a responsibility to help with the children, since modern medicine promotes the use of fertility drugs, which can lead to multiple births," the AP reported.

While Kate praised Krall in the same story, Krall reveals that Kate posted "demeaning" signs in every room detailing rules, and fired one woman on the spot for washing her hands in the kitchen instead of the bathroom. "Kate flipped," says Krall. "She thought it was cross-contamination."

That level of perfectionism also tore her apart from her father, Kenton Kreider, a pastor, after he gave her cribs donated by his parishioners.

"They didn't match and Kate rejected them," says a family source. "Things like that caused a rift." Krall, who says all six babies ended up with matching cribs, tells Us Kate "thought they were owed stuff. The money factor was huge."

Indeed, a now-famous Gosselin has spent 21 out of the last 30 days on the road at paid speaking engagements; after she made news last week admitting that she might leave Jon, she continued on her book tour for five days as her husband tended to the kids.

For more on Kate's obsession with her own celebrity and freebies, what she's really like as a mom, and her rude behavior to locals, pick up the newest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands today.

I've been watching a lot of the repeats trying to pick up signs of trouble. They are completely different after their 'vow renewal.' I think while Jon was in Hawaii around his family he did some soul searching. When they returned home, I noticed that Kate was away more and more. The funny thing is when it is just Jon w/the kids they are fine, but when Jon is not around they are always looking for him.

I have seen 2 promos for the upcoming season and in both she is rude to celebrities (Emeril and Duff Goldman). This is after the Green epi where she was just horrible to Steve. If she keeps this up TLC wont be able find anybody to come on the show.
