We know things are bit rough for the Gosselin’s now that ‘Kate Plus 8′ was given the boot, but is Kate really strapped for cash?
Kate Gosselin is doing it all … alone. The mom-of-eight took to her Twitter Aug. 23 to tell her “tweeties” that she doesn’t have a babysitter again today. That’s rather unusual, especially since it’s summer and all eight kids are home.
“Well, I overslept so no am run4me! Trdmill run later… Huge list&no babysitter agn 2day so will be busy! Will tweet ya later-off 2make bfast!”
Kate definitely sounds tired. She’s been preparing the kids for the school year by taking them back-to-school shopping and getting them haircuts. We hope Kate can figure out a way to feed those eight mouths because we know she has no interest in going back to a 9-5 job like her ex-husband Jon Gosselin.
Are you worried for Kate and the kids?

A babysitter?! Is that all is the worry?! I am single parent of first one, then two, a babysitter has been out of the question for the last 6-7 years, year round and family is not avaialble either, or friends, so babysitting has been limited to paying someone maybe once a year if I am lucky or when I had to go to hospital myself, if I am lucky.
Work, either at home or outside is not an option if you have nobody to take care reliabley of smallies,or affoardable to work,along with rent etc and there’s no support from either father so far. So I have resigned myself to caring for them and really rearing them,and who better than me. This by the way includes cutting their hair with a scissors myself as I can’t affoard a hairdresser for them let alone me, that’s gone years ago. I dye my hair once a year maybe myself and that’s that. So the rest is commercial need. What I have discovered on this path is you only find hard what you are not used to. At this stage what I cried over years ago is now easy and shovveling coal, chaffed hands and picking up wood off the road to light the smallies fire is normal and enjoyable. And we still manage to pay for basics like internet, however I see at this stage everything bar electricity, heating if we are lucky and food as essentials for life and lots of love. Clothes are hit and miss: people sometimes realise I have none and give me some, or shoes or some for the children, so we are veyr very lucky there. To outward appearance we are a normal family, going to school, lunches and walks, and playing and a car( which I can barely arroafd to run: it’s for emergencies as pblic transport as expensive with children and need for doctor’s and for our shop for food)…but although I am in my 40s and at this stage prpbably look about 70 I don’t care, I love my kids, they are always laughing and smiling and they are having a great childhood, which one day when I am gone they wil always remember and when life gets hard for them, they won’t remember or see whether they had th elatest shoes, hairstyle or anything like that. They will only remember that Mum was happy or sad or the amount of fun they had laughing together, whether it’s a pillow fight or a chase around the house if there’s nothing else to do!:) LOL
