Why is Kate Gosselin estranged from her parents?
Actually, many people know exactly why Kate is estranged from her parents. Her dad had the members of his church pull together to help Jon and Kate when she had the sextuplets. They donated clothes and cribs, among other things. Kate rejected the cribs as she only wanted NEW, MATCHING ones, not gently used. Also, she told her dad she only wanted CASH. Kenton Kreider could not go back to his church members and tell them his daughter refused their overwhelming generosity and would accept only cash. So, Kate cut her mom and dad out of the sextuplets lives. They are estranged. So, when Kate says on the show, “They don’t know how to help us,” what she means is that she did not get the cold, hard cash she insisted on. Jon and Kate’s PR people can spin it anyway they like, but the reality is that Kate cut her parents out of her lives because of money. Kate, a self proclaimed “devout Christian” should know the “money is the root of all evil.” Sources:
There is a great deal of speculation about Kate Gosselin’s relationship with her parents. Please add your contribution to the Discussion. Actually, Kate’s father has his Masters Degree in Education.

In: Reality TV Shows Kate’s parents are Charlene and Kenton Kreider. Charlene (age 50) and Kenton (59) had six kids – Kate is the second oldest (born when Charlene was only 17). Kenton is an assistant pastor at Calvary Bible Church in Sinking Spring, PA. He and Charlene own a trailer park/campground in Lancaster (primary business) and people say they are each missing a number of teeth and have no education at all. There has been some court issues with their trailer park/campground land – apparently, they were doing things to the property in violation of zoning laws. So, when Kate says on the show that, “their grandparents are not involved in the kids’ lives, it would seem that she and Jon are embarrassed by them. Actually ISAMER (Original Wikianswerer) only 10% of the above is true… Actually, Kates father has his Masters Degree in Education. Hes a Teacher, a Minister, owns a large Campground, was in local govt and they just built a large beautiful house. And they have all their teeth
Kate has two parents and three sisters from whom she is alienated. Jon has a mother and two brothers from whom he is alienated. That’s 8 people. Are ALL 8 people evil/toxic? That doesn’t seem quite right… or reasonable… or logical. I used to think, “Boy, Kate’s parents must be really terrible.” But I’m not so sure any more. I truly understand keeping your kids away from toxic relatives. But is it possible that all 8 people are evil? http://gosselinswithoutpity.blogspot.com/2008/06/genetically-toxic-what-coincidence.html Sadly the above poster is correct as to her parents as its been discussed with the locals in Elizabethtown PA where they live by people who donated clothes and then found out they were given away to a consignment shop. Kate’s parents would not give into her wacky demands and so she cut them out of her and her children’s lives. The one person who did
