Kate Gosselin, recently divorced mom and former Jon and Kate Plus 8 reality television star, is dancing with the stars and intent on winning this season. The mother of 8 is spending 5 to 6 hours a day practicing with her dance coach and hopes to do well in the competition - even though she has admitted that she cannot dance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Although Kate is reclaiming and embracing her newfound independence by redefining her sense of style and shaking her tail feather on Dancing with the Stars this season, she insists that it won’t take her away from her children. In fact, she had a dance floor installed in the basement of her Pennsylvania home and does most of practicing at the studio when the kids are in school. Additionally, one of the judges assisted her in setting up a special daycare in Los Angeles for the kids.
Kate’s former husband, Jon Gosselin, has expressed his support on his Twitter page for his ex-wife, saying that he is thrilled for her and she definitely has his vote. However, according to US Weekly, a source close to Jon says that he’s angry because the competition will take Kate away from the kids for days at a time, but Kate won’t allow Jon to have extra custody.
If you want to vote for Kate this season, be sure to watch her on Dancing with the Stars, which includes: Pamela Anderson, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, Olympic Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek and 80 year old Buzz Aldrin.

Author Rob Flood credits the principle of first response for helping to change his attitude and heal his marriage. He says that the course of any conflict is determined by the responder, not the initiator. Remember, as the responder, you can choose how the conversation will go. Are you interested in being right, and being heard; or are you interesting in hearing your partner/spouse in order to resolve the conflict? If you both make concerted efforts to hear each other and then respond accordingly, you will discover that you'll be much better at resolving conflict.
Kela,
Thank you for posting this. This season of DWTS is the best ever! I am extremely excited to watch Kate shake her tail feather! I am extremely happy that she has been able to work through her stressful divorce, her challenging role as a mother of 8 and still push the envelope in order to express herself in a positive manner. Not to mention, let’s face it, someone has to continue to make money to raise those 8 children. Go Kate Gosselin, you have my vote every Monday night!!!

Di,
I thought this was a very inspirational article for recently divorced moms. Instead of solely worrying about how your life is falling apart and will never be the same, embrace this change, reinvent yourself and show your children what it means to overcome obstacles and accept change. I think Kate is great and you’re right, someone has to continue to make money to raise those EIGHT beautiful children. Way to go Kate Gosselin!
