Jon & Kate Plus 8

Original post by soon2bmrsVPT

either you love it or you hate it... Honestly, I love it.. Kate is a bit neurotic & the older girls- Maddie & Cara- are total brats, but the boys I can't even deal. I love them


ETA: what is up with LIW!?!?! totally posted this before I was done typing. It's timing out all over the place.. soo annoying


anyway- Jon & Kate- discuss.. love it or hate it.. I know a lot of the LIF people *loathe* it

I hope this is what my kids look like(I just don't want 8 of them). DH is chinese/ hawaiian and I am Irish. They are the cutest kids ever.

I was just able to see Jodi's video on the blog. It was blocked at my job. I am so sad that it is all true. I will still watch it but it definitely changes how I feel about it.

I also don't watch the show religiously, but I love it when it's on. All those kids are too cute. Plus, I'm impressed by anyone who has 8 young kids and actually functions.

I mean seriously, all those little trips they take - and she always got them dressed, clean and ready to go. I know people that have trouble doing that with just one kid. I know she is kind of on the crazy, neurotic side but I think you kind of have to be with 8 kids. I mean if you weren't super organized & slighty neurotic with all those kids, you'd probably go crazy.



This is true... but I HONESTLY believe more than one kid is EASIER than just one...

I remember that duggar freak said 4 was easier than 2. or something like that...

In a way, they keep each other occupied.. I can't tell you how much EASIER it is when I have an apt full of kids keeping aidan occupied instead of just him... However, I am fully aware I don't have to change their diapers, get them dressed etc etc...

8 HAS to be tough and I admire them for their perseverance... only thing I question is how easy would it be if they DIDN'T have a show giving them such an income.



i can see more than one kid being easier in the case of the duggars because you have the olders ones to take care of the younger ones, but with 6 kids the same age? yes they can keep each other entertained but they're still all going through the same thing at the same time - teaching 6 kids to walk/potty train/changing their diapers? that's gotta be tough.

and in the beginning of the show (the special) kate still worked at her job as a nurse doing 16 hour shifts. i'd imagine she'd be doing the same without the show (it just allows her to be a stay at home mom i think).

and yes, i watch way too much of this show - i love it. and i really do like kate, maybe cuz i can see me being neurotic like her in certain circumstances.

I checked out the blog and IMO the whole thing between J&K vs. Jodi & her sister sounds like a bunch of 'he said, she said.' (For ex, Jodi's sister claims J&K have blatantly lied to people by saying the kids don't having college funds and that she knows that to be untrue, while J&K wrote on their official website that it is not true that they secretly have college funds for the kids, they don't have any). The blog is obv one side of it (that paints J&K as liars who don't put their children first) but (aside from what she shares through Jodi's experience) many parts say 'I've heard...,' 'I've never been to their speaking engagements, but I've read people say...,' etc. So who knows the whole truth. I kinda take it all with a grain of salt and just watch the show for entertainment and the kids are so cute. Unfort, with more money and notoriety involved, things can get pretty nasty, looks like that was a big part of it. Who knows.

Re: Jon & Kate Plus 8

wow!! i had read the blog a while back- someone from LIF posted it, and i just saw the video response from aunt Jodi! def. gives me a different perspective!

i mean, i love the show, i watch it religiously! but kate does annoy me from time to time when she constantly corrects her husband mid sentence, or how she 'love' slaps him..
it gets under my skin and i always yell out to the tv that someone needs to c0ck slap her!!!

but i do believe she is getting a bit greedy and acting very 'unchristian' like.
i feel bad for Jodi!!
