Jon Gosselin angered by offer of time slot during twins’ birthday party

Jon Gosselin was up in arms after his divorcing wife Kate proposed rationing their twins’ birthday time this weekend.

Kate, in an email titled “Mady and Cara birthday schedule – proposed”, offers Jon a time slot due to their strained relationship and “events”.

Those events include an emergency court date that fell through when the judge was called away on personal business. Kate alleges Jon is in contempt of their divorce filing and demands he pay her US$230,000 within 24 hours. She alleges he withdrew the funds from a joint bank account.

Kate writes: “Jon. Due to the recent events, it will be too stressful for the kids to have both of us here as we had originally planned.”

Jon appeared on ET and elsewhere to flatly deny the funds charge, saying all he wants is for the couple to move forward as Mom and Dad and that he realises they will not be husband and wife.

Kate appears to soothe the sting of the birthday issue by offering Jon a kids slot from her weekend time running from noon Saturday, to Sunday evening.

In the ET segment, Jon mentions the twins birthday party with apparent eagerness, as the next time he is due to see Kate. But the party slot she offers is 4pm to 6pm – minus Kate.
