Kate Gosselin has been divorced for over 15 years.<\/p>\n

But the former reality star says she’s still paying for it. Literally.<\/p>\n

In a brand new TikTok video, the mother of eight, recapped her day as a pediatric home health care nurse… and eventually explained just why she must work so hard despite her lengthy history as a quasi television star.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was another 12 hour day, and my patient and I did a bunch of things. We went all the things together. We went to a birthday party,\u201d the 50-year old said on this platform. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe played in the water. We spent a lot of time outside. My patient wants to spend time outside, and I, of course, did all of the medical care as well, feeding, bathing and all the things.\u201d <\/p>\n

Gosselin was in her kitchen while recording this video.<\/p>\n

“And so now I work again tomorrow, so I have my dishes loaded into the dishwasher, my dishwasher running, and so I can go to bed and get up early and do it all over again,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Gosselin joined TikTok<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

The polarizing personality helped anchor Jon & Kate Plus 8 from 2007 to 2009 before landing a spinoff titled Kate Plus 8 amid her divorce from Jon Gosselin. <\/p>\n

Both programs chronicled her life as mom to now 24-year-old twin daughters Mady and Cara, who are in college, as well as 21-year-old sextuplets Hannah, Collin, Alexis, Aaden, Joel and Leah.<\/p>\n

Kate has been estranged for yeas from Hannah and Collin, however, with the latter having leveled some serious abuse allegations against his mother<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both of these kids live with their dad and don’t speak to their other siblings. It’s very sad.<\/p>\n

When a social media user asked Gosselin \u201cwhat happened with all the income\u201d from the aforementioned shows, she opened up about the impact of her prolonged court battle with Jon.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly? Providing for 8 kids, college funds which I am proud to say covered all of their college and more and LAWYERS. Sickening but I was drug [sic] into court constantly and that costs A TON,” she responded. <\/p>\n

“Sad bc my kids could have a lot more saved and I could have a retirement saved if it weren\u2019t for lawyers :(. It\u2019s okay. I\u2019m helping other families and I feel needed and I enjoy helping.”<\/p>\n

In response to another comment, Gosselin responded: <\/p>\n

\u201cMy kids got a good college fund, a beautiful home and private school. The lawyers got the rest of it. I don\u2019t have a retirement savings. Reality tv doesn\u2019t pay as well as it should when you have to provide for 8 kids on your own…<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent sooooooo much money on attorneys. That killed us! \ud83d\ude41 so sad!\u201d<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Gosselin has talked about her financial woes<\/a>. She’s certainly not wrong that it costs A LOT to support eight children.<\/p>\n

After having previously said on TikTik that she’s “healing and growing” everyday, Kate said this week that there are certain things she misses about her old life:<\/p>\n

\u201cI miss our house in Pa. But mainly, I miss when the kids were little. Not the stress, just their cuteness. At the time it felt like the days were long\u2026but in hindsight it sped by. And I\u2019m sad.”<\/p>\n
