Watching the show Jon & Kate plus 8 on and off for years, I have grown to love the family. I love the kids, and I cry watching them grow up so fast.
I have grown to love Kate, she is a strong mom, and as many see that she is bossy, and nags all the time. My god I would HATE to see a camera on me 24/7, and I only have 2 kids!
Jon is a cool guy, that reminds me of Spaghetti. He seems to go along with everything, he seems more patient. And yep, like Spaghetti he seems to put up with Kate, and her bossy side. But with 8 kids, we have NO idea what they go through.
I saw somewhere, that Kate knew that they could never go back. To before TLC, and before they became reality stars. Before the paparazzi and body guards. Who's to say that TLC and all the reality t.v. did this to them. And I mean pull Jon and Kate apart. Maybe it would have happened anyway.
Tonight's episode was the start of the season. It was the kids 5th birthday party. It seemed good, and the parents were both there. The seemed to go through the party being there TOTALLY for the kids. And everyone had a great time.
Kate mentioned this may be the last family picture. And they asked at the end of the show where they were. Neither of them knew. They both said they were there for the kids. And that is what matters.
I am sad that they are leading two different lives. And that parents of multiples have 3x the divorce rate. But hell, we get stressed with just the two. I wish the best for the family, for the kids, and whatever comes there way in life.
I do have to say the interesting thing about this show, is they started out these parents with SO many kids at once, trying to be normal. Well as normal as they could. But then I think the big turn off to so many of us fans, was ALL the free trips, and vacations, and perks because of who they were. And in times like these, it was a turn off. I did love the family, and the show, I did still watch, but I was sad that I wasn't' given so many hand outs. But now this season started out real.
(again about as real could get with paparazzi in the woods)
I hope for Jon & Kate, that they don't read what the papers say. And for that matter I hope the kids don't either. I wish them happiness, and luck. And a big thank you, for putting themselves out there, for our entertainment.

Being a woman whose husband cheated on her, this is a hard topic.
Watching Jon & Kate or Elizabeth Edwards, etc is difficult because so many people offer their opinions, and their opinions DON'T COUNT. Why? Because they have never been through the hurt of the one person who said "Til death do we part" parting not only way before death, but NOT ALONE. And now you ARE alone.
Someone's bossiness or selfishness or any other problem should be tackled way before you seek the arms of another. There's no pushing someone away that isn't willing to be pushed.
I cannot say that it really surprises me. The stress of multiples alone could kill a marriage, let alone the unusual relationship they had and the frenzied media that surrounds them. I hope that they can pull it together. Maybe the cameras should just be kicked out? Can they do that? WOULD they?
