Jon and Kate Plus Hate

Jon and Kate Gosselin's eight children have grown up in the public eye with cameras shoved in their faces since the sextuplets were two, and the twins were six.

With five seasons underway, these kids don't know any other lifestyle than the one they're living, which consists of their daily lives on film and millions of Americans tuning in weekly to see the latest drama unfold.

Both of the Gosselins have said if any of their children ever had a problem with being on camera, they would stop the show at any given time.

However, to these eight kids it is normal and they have formed bonds with the cameramen. Besides, without their children, they would have no show.

Sure, people learn to either love Kate for being a hands -mother to eight kids, or hate her for how she treats Jon as another child, but in reality, the kids are what keep the show going.

Without the kids fighting, Kate getting frustrated and taking it out on Jon, she would not have a show, which in turn has made her millions from TLC, book tours, interviews, magazines, and endorsements.

The child labor law in Pennsylvania states that no child under 16 is permitted to work in connection with any establishment. All eight of their children are under the age of 16, yet they are putting in long hours each day being filmed and giving interviews for the producers.

From watching five seasons of "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" one would only assume eventually Jon and Kate would end up divorced.

Frustration from being the parents of eight kids led to endless fights, and eventually their marriage dwindled away.

During the time of their divorce and alleged affairs, the show's ratings went up tremendously and they were both doing interviews and on the covers of almost every celebrity and tabloid magazine for a month.

Jon took this time to party and get lots of negative press, while Kate played the sympathy card and acted as the victim. However, they were still taking advantage of the press and conducting interviews and magazine articles, and making huge profits off exploiting their children and their lives.

The real reason why Jon and Kate decided to do this show to begin with is still unclear, but realistically they wouldn't have been able to afford having eight kids on one salary.

Kate had to quit her job as a nurse so she could care for the kids, and Jon didn't make enough to support his family of ten.

Who wouldn't take advantage of a reality television show to make ends meet?

So, while they were one big, happy family, Jon and Kate had no problem filming their lives and the lives of their kids.

But now that TLC has decided to drop Jon from the show and change it to "Kate Plus Eight" Jon suddenly has a problem with the filming of his children and is ordering it to stop.

He was filming with his kids a week before he demanded the film crews to leave his property, yet has previously said he believes the show benefits their children.

Jon is only having a problem now with the filming, coincidentally at the same time the show is dropping his name from the title.

A representative for TLC has issued a statement saying, "Despite Jon Gosselin's repeated self-destructive and unprofessional actions, he remains under an exclusive contract with TLC. Direct filming of the children has been currently suspended, pending further conversations between both parents".

Why is it that now since Jon is no longer part of the show, he is making a big deal about the filming of his children?

Could it be because he is not the one collecting the paychecks?
