What is up with Jon and Kate?

Watching this first episode of Season 5 made me oh so thankful for everything good in my life!

I don't follow tabloids and try not to gossip so I have to say the entire episode was very confusing to say the least. They keep saying everything is hard and emotional and we will have to work through everything. "It is hard not to listen to what the tabloids say and we are the only ones that know what happened."

Unfortunately for me and my kids, we just like watching the show. We only have a vague idea what they were talking about for 75 minutes because we have no idea what actually happened. Nowhere in the show do they address what is happening or what happened in the past to cause such a problem. I think TLC should have offered some sort of explanation to those of us who don't listen to the gossip. I spent every commercial break googling Jon and Kate to try to figure out what they were talking about just so we could watch the show. I really shouldn't have to patronize tmz.com to understand what is happening in a reality show. Nor do I want to. The Gosselins should be able to share only what they feel is appropriate material for the show. The way they, and TLC, are sensationalizing this is only helping the papparazi.

The focus really needs to be back to the kids. The show's focus and the parents focus. It is really a sad situation for everyone involved.
