Kate Gosselin is striking back at comments made by her ex that their kids are developmentally delayed because of their TV past.
Mama bear is on the attack! Kate Gosselin is defending her kids against comments their own father made that their children have developmental problems because of their TV show.
Kate struck back against the statement her ex-husband Jon made during an interview with Oprah in which he said the kids can’t relate to other kids, have no idea how to talk to people and lack manners and morals with an open letter on her blog.
“I find it very heart breaking that my children’s father chooses a public forum to discuss his current opinions of the ‘development’ of our children. These opinions are, in reality, value judgements (sic) made about our children and they are based on his limited visits (albeit mutually agreed upon) with our children,” she wrote.

“Because he has spoken negatively about our children, I feel I owe it to them to respond on their behalf. Each and every one of our children has met and continues to exceed all physical, mental and emotional developmental milestones throughout their lives. Their normal development is regularly monitored by myself, their pediatrician and school staff, as is usual within any family.”
“It is also very normal in a family, especially a large family, to have a full range of personalities, abilities, talents, hobbies and struggles,” she explained. “Ours is no different. However, anyone who has personally met our children all have the same thing to say: They are the most normal, pleasant, polite, loving and well adjusted children they have ever met. Most even go on to say that they are a ‘a delight’ to be around.”

Kate then explained why she felt the need to write this letter in such a public forum. “When our kids grow up, they may see their father’s latest interview and wonder why he made untrue and hurtful statements about them,” she said. “I know that I risk stirring up an unwanted public and private ‘frenzy’ by commenting on this, but, if our children ever stumble upon that interview, I want to be able to point them to this statement so that they know that I publicly set the record 100% straight on this one, for their sake.”
The mom of eight later followed up with a “life lesson” post on Twitter.
