I Want a New Job: Jon

Reality show dad just has it so rough

(Newser) – Life is so hard for Jon Gosselin that he would trade his gig on a hit reality show for a desk job, he tells Us. “I wish I had a 9 to 5 job instead of the nightmare I'm living. This is 24/7,” he said while standing outside his $1.1 million home. “I don't even want to do taping for the show anymore.”

Alas, he needs the money—a source says he’s “suspicious” Kate is hiding some—because “I have two houses and eight children to take care of and I need to work,” he says. In what was probably a message for those tabloids that plague him so, Gosselin showed up to a volunteer gig later wearing a “Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies” T-shirt.

The photo released by TLC shows the Gosselin family posing for a photo at a party to celebrate the sextuplets fifth birthday.

$1.1 million dollar house. If he wants to give up the perks that came with the job , by all means walk away. His choice. No one has a gun to his head. I do not under any circumstances feel sorry for this man. I do not blame Kate for all of his miseries. He needs to grow a pair and stop whining.

Okay, I understand that you are dealing with some crap right now but don't cry because your cash cow stomped on your nuts. You brought america into your home. Now that the tables have turned you and your deranged soon to be ex wife are crying. Boo firkin hoo. You made your life a circus. Not TLC.
