Firstly, if I may ask, have you actually watched a full episode of the show, or are you just going off unreliable gossip garbage? Secondly, Those kids may grow up to be spoiled, but they will certainly not grow into therapy, they all have loving parents who are doing wonderfully for parents of 8 kids at teaching their children simple values, like friendship, obedience and patience. They go out every single week to a new place, meaning they are also no where near living a fish bowl life.
The only bad thing I can get out of this, that you seem to think that may actually be true is that the show may not have been the best choice for the kids because of their exposure to the media at such a young age, however, judging by the fact that an income would have been ardous struggles when you have that many kids it may have been what they needed in the beginning just to make ends meet.

And since the kids have already become celebrities of sorts, that means that even if they withdraw from the media life, they will still never “just” be Jon and Kate, or Hannah, or Mady, Or Carra, or Leah Or Alexis, or Joel, or Aiden, Or Collon, no now that they have been entwined into the medias deadly grasp, they will always be recognized, and complaining wont do any good, because its alreayd irreversible.

Roberta, think about, probably the only part of their life together that isn’t taped is when everyone’s asleep, and who knows? Maybe they even tape that too, just incase a kid wakes everyone up! So therefore, this whole “NOT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA!” piece is unrealistic and implausible. I can understand also how you think she reacts like that far to often, but once again, Cameras, They edit out boring parts and stick with the parts that either a) Are cute and endearing (sure to bring more watchers)
b) Stressful (more intresting than watching a faked happily ever after piece)
or
c)Fight pieces, to make you think there is more drama than there is, to keep viewers interested and concerned that the couple may not always be together.
Now if these are the only pieces collected, that means at least 33% if not more of the show has to be fights. So even if they only fought once every four or five hours, that would equal a huge amount of time in those 30 minutes, meanign that they confuse viewers into thinking either Kate, John or the kids are ticking time bombs of frustration and anger.

American these days are too quick to judge. I am a recently divorced woman and I can sympathize with Kate. I think that too many times we find ourself married for the right reason. Then a couple of years pass and we realize that what we though that we wanted together we no longer want. I think that couple start to grow apart and just don’t want to admit it. I think that they just go out and cheat and the other one gets pissed off and leaves them. I think that it takes a real woman to stand there and say that she wants to do what is right. She needs to figure it out and when she does she will do it. I think too often society makes couples feel that they have to stay together no madder what if there are children involved. They define the “All American Family” as two childen and two point five pets. That sit down to supper every night and discuss what is going on. Is that realistic now? HELL NO!!! It is getting to be to much of a fast past world. I think that they should not stay together for the children. I think that often times couples stay toghether to help and all they do is end up causing more damage then doing good. Kate holds her head up high and is not swayed by what people have to say about her and her marriage Kudos to her!!! I think that she carries herself with great poise and grace. I think that she is a woman that a lot of us woman should look up to. I am telling you that I don’t think that I could conduct myself with such poise and grace as her. She is truly an amazing lady. I wish her the best of luck!

I can’t believe how cruel and judgmental some people are. I really love the show, and know that both Jon and Kate love and devote themselves to each and every one of their children. I watch the show for tips on how to make raising my two little girls (2 1/2 and 7 months) more efficient, practical, organized, and fun. Kate is phenomenal with all of her ideas and systems. She really works hard to give her kids good structure, routine, nutrition, and experiences. Sometimes, she doesn’t communicate nicely, but I love how neither she nor Jon use profanity or ugliness. Given her level of responsibilities, she handles her stress well. Jon is a wonderful father, but Kate really organizes things amazingly. Anyway, I think they’re having counseling to work on their communication. I think ppl judge them for past shows, too. None of us are perfect. I wish this family the best!

We all do the best we can and you can’t say what you would do different if you don’t have eight kids. Marriage is hard even when you have one kid. I don’t think that Kate treats Jon bad it’s just she has more on her mind so she has to verbalize things more than he does. It can be stressful to take care of all the kids and I can see why people would think she is mean to him but I don’t think she does it with bad intentions sometimes when we speak it comes across as rude or bossy but it’s not meant to be taken that way it’s just we are trying to get out point across quickly. The bottom line is that they are a real family regardless of the show and we should want what is best for them and their kids.
I hope they can work it out because thous kids need them both full time.

Linda in NM That comment about LPN’s compared to RN’s was uncalled for!There are LPN’s out there that are much better than Most RN’s. I went into nursing to give good quality nursing to patients not to make more money!

Hey Brittany I agree.
No one has walked in Jon and Kate’s shoes.
Like at the beginning of the show Kate said
It’s our life! So people just let them live it. Enjoy them or don’t watch. I Enjoy them so I watch.
