Jon and Kate Gosselin Ordered by Judge to Attend Parenting Class

Learning How to Be Parents, 8 Children Later?

Lyssa Rose
According to TMZ, Jon and Kate Gosselin are being required to each take a three-hour parenting class. Apparently, this is a standard requirement in Berks County, Penn., for people involved in custody disputes. June 8th is the deadline for Jon and Kate Gosselin to have each completed the class.

Will Jon Gosselin or Kate Gosselin learn anything in this parenting class that can somehow bring some peace and normalcy into their children's lives?

Mandated or not, it is certainly ironic that after having had eight children together, these two adults are now having to take a parenting class. Maybe what Jon and Kate Gosselin really needed, a long time ago, was a class teaching them how to communicate with each other.

Whether you are on Team Jon or Team Kate or even if you are not a fan of either one of these people, there is hardly a perfect parent out there in the world. Everyone has flaws. Unfortunately, these two parents brought their family into the spotlight and now all eyes are on them and their parenting skills. It stands to reason that the welfare of eight innocent children are going to be called into question.

Jon and Kate Gosselin's 8 children will be back on a television screen near you, in the not too distant future.

Also, according to TMZ, the kids have been cleared by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry to participate in Kate Gosselin's upcoming show, "Kate Plus 8." Kate also has another reality show that is in the works called, "Twist of Kate," but it has not yet been determined whether the children will be making an appearance on that show.

Now that Kate and the kids are "back to work," their financial futures should be secure. However, the same cannot be said for Jon Gosselin's financial future, which is still in question as he scrambles to sell his used BMW for cash.

Parenting classes and reality shows aside, only time will tell how things play out for Jon, Kate and the kids.

    It's bizarre that they have 8 kids and now have to get help on how to take care of them, isn't it? Great write-up.

    It is sad and disappointing to watch Jon and Kate's lives with their kids unfold right in front of us. Yet, I do like watching Kate on TV and find her and the kids to be very entertaining. What's the best thing to do here??? Anyway, very nice article.

    Interesting. I can't imagine that a 3 hour parenting class could cover all that much.
