I'm a huge fan of reality TV in general but I don't watch the ones with a focus on children. I think that Jon & Kate are appalling parents. They put their kids on TV without a second thought as to how it would affect those kids. And those people who won't stop having kids? What do you think those kids will think when the cameras aren't around and nobody cares about their lives anymore?

I prefer my reality TV with high drama and low morals - Jersey Shore, You're Cut Off, etc. And all of those Bravo shows. 

I also feel bad for children of celebrities. I wonder how they must feel being photographed all the time. It must be very confusing and scary for them. Paparazzi are definitely too invasive in that respect.

There are pros??? Lol. I watch some reality TV here and there but I don't really like seeing kids on there. hmmm well I guess Super Nanny might be an exception. Then the pro there is more sanity in their household.

Lol, I guess I do too. Must be why I was fascinated with Flava of Love!! It was such a wonderful train wreck that I just couldn't look away.

I don't think that shows like super nanny where they are only on once is a huge deal but shows like john and kate I feel sorry for the kids :(
