I have absolutely no sympathy for these parents. All my sympathy goes to those beautiful children. Watching Kate whine and moan about how hard her life is made me furious. She is traveling to promote her books, leaving her kids at home, angry at Jon for his choices, and angry at the paparazzi because they follow her and her children. I'm sorry, what about the cameras, staff and microphones that follow around those children constantly by your choice Jon and Kate?? What is the difference? Who is exploiting who?? Your marriage is disintegrating in front of the world's eyes, why would you continue this garbage?? It's easy. Money. How on Earth is Jon going to feel useful as a provider for his family if he's not providing and staying home while Kate gallivants around the country soaking up the fame she so craves. Why would both of you not say "Enough is enough!" Put your family first contract or not and stop this madness. I refuse to watch your show any longer and I hope many others follow suit and do the same. TLC should also be ashamed of their behaviour and do what they need to to drop this show. Of course, that's not going to happen. TLC LOVES this controversy and knows the show is a cash cow for them as well.
I'm sorry my thoughts are all over the place. I'm writing this post at work between calls. I'm sure that my frustrations and pain regarding our attempt at expanding our family has much to do with my strong feelings, so I apologize if this comes off too harsh.

Well your not alone sister! I sat and watched the season opener, also wondering how many were doing the same thing, only because of the controversy behind them. I'm sure TLC is thrilled with the mayhem and Kate with the bucks she's going to recieve from it. It really simply does boil down to the money.
Most irritating was that as a single mom of 7 I was pleading with them through the TV that they would pull their heads out of their butts and realize how hard doing it alone will be! If they think 8 is hard with two well I guess it's going to be Great TV now as they try to do it alone. What a bunch of nimrods, yes Barb I'm irate too!
I'm with you too. I just think reality tv in general is trash. Nothing good ever comes from the relationship shows and how can you expect your kids to have normal functioning lives if they are in front of a camera all day.
Found your site through a friend. I agree with your rant. I've been ranting to my family about them. ~shagrin~ If they are truly "working on their marriage", I would think they would eliminate as much outside stress as possible...and WORK ON THEIR MARRIAGE!
You're not alone.
Barb, I have to disagree, I have always loved Jon and Kate plus eight, yes Jon made some stupid things and yes Kate is really getting ridiculous, but they signed up for it. It is sad what is going on. I am still a fan of those kids that is really what the show should be about.
Sara, let me articulate my point a bit further.
I don't believe Jon and Kate should continue to air their dirty laundry publically. Commitment or not to TLC, what about their commitment to their children? I agree with you, they are the only ones I'm concerned about. I feel that Jon and Kate have sold out their children for money. Their kids are being exploited grossly by their own hand in allowing this to continue. I feel very strongly they should walk away from this show because their marriage is in shambles and that affects the children. Kate is off her rocker and so self absorbed it makes me sick. I don't even really care about what Jon did or didn't do, it's time for this spectacle to end and for them to focus on salvaging their family. That is not to be a public forum. It's private.
Coming off my soapbox now...

I don't watch this show and I sure can't stand to see them on the news or other tv shows they might appear on. For all the publicity that she craves & has created, the only picture of herself she is putting out there is a big picture of a Self Centered Witch.
I really would like to read about.........
John and Barbra + 2 = 4
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!
