Kate's Pizza Fight 3

Group picture at the Grand Canyon sign. It'll look cute in a photo album until they remember how it went down in real life. Is this part of "making memories?" Mady (?) mutters I don't even know why you bother because I have an ugly smile anyways... ouch.

Poor Cara throws a fit that is very age inappropriate. That girl really needs some help. She used to be so calm and collected. And now she has to miss the national landmark and be banished. With 8 kids, Kate can't feed into each child's tantrum. She has to positively reinforce the kids with good behavior, I get that. But that girl is really hurting, and I don't think that is the kind of outburst that is remedied by "ignoring the bad behavior."

When Kate finds out the RV wont start, she jokingly accuses them of rigging this. I wonder if there's some truth to the production rigging things in their life for filming purposes.

I don't know what to say about the pizza incident. It's odd that Kate is so protective of Steve's portion of food. She's also outraged that he was handed food that was touched. Steve scarfs it down without caring, but Kate is plenty outraged for him. With all the grown ups yelling my heart aches for Mady who tries her best to apologize for handing him pizza without foil. At this point, her mom is her world. She is trying so hard to please her mom. At some point she's going to realize that it's pretty much impossible and unrealistic to please her... and she'll stop trying or caring. That poor girl doesn't need to have this broadcast for the world to see. Mady deserves so much better.

None of the kids should be subjected to the parents arguing and trash talking each other. Kids in the background with wide eyes as Ashley tells us she would die for them. Children crying as Ashley says goodbye. Jon said goodbye. Jodi & Kevin said goodbye, Beth Carson said goodbye, their dogs said goodbye, Kate's parents said goodbye (arguably), and many more. Their faces say it all. The TLC crew will soon say goodbye, Steve will of course say goodbye too. That scene is just painful to watch.

Its a shame Cara and Maddy had to miss out and be punished,Kate should of realized that they may never see the canyon for a long time and let them see it and punished them later.

@Supablonde1 Kate has a picture of her with the twins at the grand canyon on her website. So it looks like she did let them see it later

Cara throws a fit and gets punished, who punishes Kate when she throws fits.

TLC knew exactly what they were doing when they organised this trip. They know Kate can't handle all her kids in close proximity to her and not having 5 star accommodation would kill her. And guess what? It worked. She went off the deep end.

Plus, Kate admitted that she has always yelled at Ashley. How the hell did Ashley put up with that witch for 5 yrs?? She really does love those kids.

12:45 is sad with all the girls crying

I think that the reason kate got so upset over steve's pizza was because (according to her) he had been the only one really helping her during this entire trip

[JustWannaBeAShaytard]

the fact that kate stood there and bickered back and forth about who had the better bus is insane to me. What does that teach your kids?!

[deneece18]

It's pretty disgusting that she shuns her kids to a bus with people she doesn't want to be around... but I am pretty sure they are better mentors than that bitch of a woman. She is more immature than preschoolers. Trust me... I work in a daycare lol.

@justsailingalong I think BEING Kate is punishment enough.

[rocknesgirl]

Why I wrote that last comment like I was writing Kate personally is beyond me. Haha. But seriously. She acted like a total diva the entire time, and duhhh sweetie if everyone leaves you eventually then they can't ALL be wrong! Perhaps you keep yourself so "busy" organizing all the time because you're afraid at what you'll see when you look at the REAL you. And those poor kids. Their reality unfortunately stems from what her perception of reality is. Smh. It's a shame.

[rocknesgirl]

I absolutely lost it laughing out loud when Kate said it's not everyday I'm standing out in a gravel...? in flip flops ordering food next to an RV. *LOL!!* Perhaps it would've felt more homey for her had the RV been a trailer...? Didn't she grow up in a trailer park?! Her world is beyond twisted. Water rafting and she didn't want to get wet?? Com'mon princess. Your viewers paid for that trip--you and your kids have had experiences of a lifetime and all you've done on ALL of them is b*tch.

[leah8x1]

i know she has problems, but i feel for her when i stop and look closely and find that all shes really doing is TRYING too hard.

[skelton39]

When she saw everyone else relaxing and watching a movie why didn't she take off her shoes and join in? A trip with your family is about relaxing and enjoying your time together however and whenever it happens. It's not about keeping to the schedule.

I'm sorry, but as much as I think Kate is a psycho and needs to chill... It is JUST PIZZA! What about the chicken they didn't cook the night before? Just use it as lunch DUH!.... But anyway, even though it is Kate's fit, and she's "acting childish" Why are two grown women talking trash about Kate in front of her daughters!???
