Mommy dearest. When her kids are all grown they will have nothing to do with her anymore. She will deserve it too. She is an awful mother. Mommy dearest.

Not Kool-aid, Not Star bucks hot chocolate. She asked for water which is a necessity of life. For that nasty mother to deny her kid who is asking for water then to drink in front of her is heinous. I don't care if everyone will want water or go to the bathroom. That is what real children do. The working kid asked for water. Not Kool-aid, Not Star bucks hot chocolate.

How stupid is Kate? And yall are SO right. i mean if one has a drink then they all will want one. And then theyll want to go to the bathroom. And all that will mean that someone will have to BE A PARENT!! (btw do you really think Kate would have had to get up to take a child to the bathroom? does she EVER actually do anything for her kids besides yell at them?) isnt it funny that she makes all this money for having so many children and "parenting" them, but she cant be bothered to do typical parental duties like... giving your children water which would then possibly lead to a trip to the bathroom.... But ok, maybe there was a shortage on water... maybe there wasnt a bathroom nearby.. WTF was she doing drinking the water in front of that poor kid who had asked for it? Kate says "That’s true. Could I — could I have a bottle? Is there time to throw a bottle of water at me?" Nice... thats teaching your kids to only look out for yourself... I cant stand that woman. I can only imagine the therapy those kids are going to need. I really hope that one day she realizes what she has done to them.

Children learn to lie and exaggerate right around the second word that comes out of their mouths, so you can't hardly take the "I'm thirsty" complaints as definitive proof that she hasn't had adequate hydration. Plus little kids that drink water also have to pee, usually 7 seconds later. Well I am no fan of this harpy, but we really don’t have any context here.

Kate is trying to keep her kids still and calm. If she had given whiny Mady a drink, the whole herd would have clammered for one. What you do for one you have to do for all. I don't understand however is why mom asked for and drank the water in front of Mady. Maybe mom thought she might have time to give her a quick drink (when she was bending down to retrieve the bottle off the floor), but then it appeared that Kate was given a signal and the action shifted to the business at hand. I have a lot of kids (not as many as Kate) and I have dealt with a few kiddy whiners and manipulators as well in my time. As a mom I can see the dynamic at play here.

In fact, she is making a shit-ton of money by providing us with fodder to judge. 2) No one is judging her based solely on this clip. The entire nation is judging her based on hundreds of eye witness accounts of, and researched stories published about, her parenting skill, her hunger for money, and her (and her husband's) willingness to subject the kids to an unhappy marriage and complete loss of privacy, for cash. I'd say that's pretty good context. @JoLo

I'm saying we don't know what's going on. and it isn't our place to judge how she parents her kid. Do you know how many times your mom or dad probably told you "no you cant have that" in your lifetime? has it scarred you? have a little perspective. I didn’t say she was awful.
