Yay - viewer FAQ. I wonder what we'll learn about the Gosselins today...

Jon shows us his home office, which is actually his walk-in closet. Apparently there's no where else they can go and have some privacy. So Jon sits in the closet? Ugh.

Q: A lady wrote in and said that yes, the camera does stink.
A: Yes, Kate hates the camera. It seems like everywhere she goes, she has issues with her camera. And now Kate feels validated that her camera does in fact stink.

Q: Did you have invitro or interuterine?
A: They had IUI and love the kids.

Q: Lots of viewers want the kids to shout out to them.
A: Kate says whenever she tucks her hair behind her ears, she's saying hi.

Kate interjects that they don't read hate mail and just delete it.

Q: How do you manage one on one time with the kids?
A: They spend as much time as they can with the kids and try to do things with them individually as possible. The kids also seem to hang around their parents when they need more loving, too.

Q: Who are the kids named after?
A: There's no significance to the kids first names. The boys middle names are after important people in the family. Aaden Jonathan after Jon, Collin Thomas after Jon's dad, and Joel Kevin after Kate's brother. The girls' middle names are fruits of the spirit - Alexis Faith, Leah Hope, and Hannah Joy.

Q: Do you have picky eaters? What do you make if they won't eat the food you make?
A: The kids have to eat what Kate makes because she's not a short-order cook.

Q: Is it common for the kids to all have Asian characteristics?
A: Kate doesn't know but loves them no matter what. The kids are so cute. And Kate wishes she was Korean.

Q: Rumor has it that Kate is pregnant.
A: No No No

Q: Are the twins identical?
A: Cara and Mady are fraternal.

Q: How strict is the day to day routine?
A: They are very regimented to keep things orderly.

Q: Have you thought about adding pets?
A: Jon and Kate had cats when they were first married. But now they just don't think they could handle the responsibility of a pet right now.

Q: Do you have a laundry schedule?
A: Kate does anywhere from 2-5 loads of laundry per day. She hates folding and putting it away, so Miss Beverly comes over on Thursday afternoons to fold everything. And Carla comes over on Thursday nights to put it away. Seriously? She doesn't do the rest of her laundry? Oh my goodness.

Q: Does Jon know that when he's cutting pancakes he should use a pizza cutter?
A: Yes - he knows now, so if you see an episode where he's using a fork and knife, it's an old episode.

Q: When do you find time for intimacy?
A: When the kids go to bed.

Q: What do you think the kids will be when they grow up?
A: Aaden will be a zoologist. Collin will be an engineer. Joel will be a model. Alexis will dabble in a whole bunch of different things. Hannah will be a mommy or a teacher. Leah will be a cute girl. Mady's going to be President. Cara will be good at whatever she does.

SassySarah's Review: Cute show. Nothing too interesting going on with the FAQ though. No thumbs up or down.
