Love her or hate her

I am still amazed at some of the posts that I read about Kate.  Seems those who hate her are so passionate about it you would think she was a truly disliked member of their family.  For those who like Kate, well we just like her because she is a hard working mother of 8 kids.  Does hard working have to mean that she is cooking and cleaning every waking moment of the day or could it also mean that she is trying to figure out a way for the kids to maintain their lifestyle (which by the way I do not think is extravagant) and continue with the doctor/dentist appointments without having to go on public assistance?  I mean let's face it nurses do make a good living but I doubt they could afford 8 kids and housing expenses without some assistance.  Especially since Jon, their father, is hell bent on stopping the show while not doing a thing to contribute a single cent to their monthly expenses, not a DIME! ... would someone please tell me what is she to do?  But the Kate haters would like nothing better then to see her in line for food stamps and, frankly, I have no clue why they would rather have us taxpayers foot the bill then to have at least one parent gainfully employed! Would someone please tell me what I am missing here? Do not think I am dumb enough to really believe that the haters are all that worried about the kids, please! If that is the case where were you for the first 5 years of their life?  No one cared until Jon started dating all those gfs and calling Kate names which resulted in "his" family being persecuted by the paps 24/7!
