I think I'll ask my sister in law, mother of 4...3 under 2, to make some again, cause, you know, She's got time on her hands ;) Anyway, she's who I watch for Jon and Kate plus 8 type entertainment. Although I did watch GMA this morning and they were on, she's got a new book out now, so she does all that she does and finds time to write a book? I need to get off my ass adn accomplish somthing! Anyway I found her a bit sharp and celebrity snobbish. But Damn that Monkey Munch is good!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526770109155791582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-51696091011945831282008-10-08T08:45:00.000-04:002008-10-08T08:45:00.000-04:00I love it, the most comments a post has ever gotte...I love it, the most comments a post has ever gotten, and it is all about Jon & Kate! Ha ha. Wow, Suzy, you're not a fan of Kate???? No way! I didn't know that. ha ha I can't believe it! My other friend with twins is also NOT a fan (she would probably have commented but I suspect that she never reads my blog!). And I have checked out that truthbreedshatred website Karen mentioned. It is written by Aunt Jodi's sister, and it is actually what started me on all this hoopala in the first place. Oh well, I guess I have enough to worry about in my own life that I will either watch, or maybe I won't. It depends what else is on and how tired I am! Thanks for all the comments ladies. As you know, I LOVE comments!Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08819103841245495719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-72795973508448642562008-10-08T08:08:00.000-04:002008-10-08T08:08:00.000-04:00Ok, I was just talking about this very same thing ...Ok, I was just talking about this very same thing with my sister yesterday and here's my beef. <BR/><BR/>I don't personally see their show as "reality" anymore. I personally would rather my kids watch their show than much of what's on TV these days. However, real life it is not. <BR/>I think it used to be in earlier seasons but when they just seemed to be going here, there and everywhere, and I think the network pays fot that stuff to make good television. <BR/><BR/>Sure shopping for "organizational" furniture may be necessary, but I've really gotten tired of seeing them get handed everyting as if every family with 8 children do. Definitely not reality when the husband who used to go to work now doesn't have to, and don't we all want that in some way, but it was more realistic when they were in the thick of it handling their everyday lives together, changing diapers, giveing baths, letting us know how much they ate for breakfast, but not being handed new bicycles, pianos, trips EVERYWHERE, hiring housekeepers, nanny's, help with laundry and the such. <BR/><BR/>I don't think the kids are actually being "abused" but they are difinitely showing signs that maybe it's time to cut it off, go back to what used to be normal and update us now and then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-38081538526604255582008-10-08T00:39:00.000-04:002008-10-08T00:39:00.000-04:00ooh... check this out...http://truthbreedshatred.b...ooh... check this out...<BR/><BR/>http://truthbreedshatred.blogspot.com/Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791397119529208150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-57556414287354864442008-10-07T23:57:00.000-04:002008-10-07T23:57:00.000-04:00I am a bit torn on this issues.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you (and many others) are saying, but I wonder if we are speculating a bit too much. I just don't know.<BR/><BR/>Agreed, they must have tons of money now. They are doing endorsements for Sears or Lowes or something I noticed, and that must be paying a fortune. Obviously their lives have changed tremendously since we first "met" them.<BR/><BR/>One of the twins (I think it's Mady) seems like a GIANT brat to me and clearly needs more discipline. I think they let her get away with too much back-talk and lack of respect.. I guess that is the 2nd grade teacher in me coming out but I would NOT tolerate that and they seem to chalk it up to, "Oh, poor Mady... she's emotional..."<BR/><BR/>I will stay tuned (for now)! But I am watching closely.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791397119529208150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-43117536800411745062008-10-07T20:03:00.000-04:002008-10-07T20:03:00.000-04:00Having multiples myself (albeit just two - sometim...Having multiples myself (albeit just two - sometimes feeling like 3) I tuned in immediately when I first heard of the show. But after watching a few episodes and seeing how relatively "easy" she made it seem with 8 kids, I knew then there must have been A LOT of editing! I mean 8 kids and they all eat their meals nicely, go to bed quietly and walk to time outs like good little soldiers....something had to be misrepresented. I gave up.<BR/><BR/>PS. another friend of mine thinks there is at least one or perhaps two of the siblings that may have "syndromes" of some sort.<BR/><BR/>But as I've said before - I'm not a doctor.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121299959587762629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-19362351630755882382008-10-07T17:47:00.000-04:002008-10-07T17:47:00.000-04:00I honestly thought they were like 3, but I guess t...I honestly thought they were like 3, but I guess they could be a little behind being multiples. I don't know . . . maybe they are total chatterboxes to eachother when the damn cameras are off them!Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08819103841245495719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-78607589315031731532008-10-07T17:11:00.000-04:002008-10-07T17:11:00.000-04:00I have noticed too that most of it seems trips and...I have noticed too that most of it seems trips and outings and special episodes on weird things lately instead of regular life but I guess with their money now they can afford all these things but I liked some of the day to day stuff too. The girls were definitely grouchy at the photo shoot - then there was the casting thing for them - I missed the teeth whitening and plugs. I'd like to see Kate sit down and do some projects with the kids like she used to and maybe start working on some skills with them (do they seem a bit behind for 4 yr olds?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
