kate5 Apr 12 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The feedback for Kate Gosslein on the reality show “Dancing With The Stars” has been rough, sometimes to the point of cruelty, but the mother of eight says she won’t let that run her off. “It’s tough, but I won’t quit,” the mother of eight told the New York Daily News. Trying to balance motherhood and work is nothing new in American society, but it isn’t often that so much negativity in the workplace figures in to the mix.

For example, one of the judges of Dancing With The Stars, Bruno Tonioli recently slashed Kate verbally in an interview. His words, “Kate is pretty dreadful. She’s crap. But in a nice way. She is entertaining. People like disaster movies. We’ve got our own disaster movie there every day. 2012 is nothing compared to the catastrophe she produces. She is a tough cookie. She gets it in the face, she comes back and she tries to get better … it doesn’t really work,” as told to George Lopez on his new show George Lopez Tonight.

And now Kate’s ex husband, Jon Gosselin has filed for primary physical custody of the couple’s eight children. Despite the fact that she is in a custody battle and already has a hectic schedule, Kate plans to star in another reality show which will air this summer entitled, “Twist of Kate” in which she will trade places with overwhelmed mothers and offer her advice. Jon has reportedly tagged Kate as an “absentee parent” says reports from People Magazine. She has been ridiculed often for taking time away from her kids to do the show. Despite all of this, Kate will still not quit Dancing With The Stars. She told the New York Daily News, “It’s very difficult. I can’t put my life aside and dance for six hours a day. It’s not my lack of ability, but lack of presence. I struggle with this every day. But I have determination. It’s tough, but I won’t quit.”
