Do I watch Jon & Kate Plus 8?

[PAMA50]

You betcha!  I have watched from the begining and love it!  I can live vicariously through them! I always wanted a big family but I was miraculously only able to have 1 child! So I enjoy watching them live their life with multiples!  The kids are real kids not actors and I don't think they are forced to do anything that most kids arent forced to do to. All kids have to obey the rules, eat their food, mind their manners. get along with their siblings ect! I love that they show them fighting and fussing with eachother, it's real life! Those kids are just precious, beautiful, funny & loving children! You gotta love em!  As for Jon & Kate, I think the tabloids are just running amuck!  What starts out as one incident is blown completely out of proportion in the press!  It's a private matter between the 2 of them and their family!  In the headlines and stories, they are all worried about how this affects the kids, well did they stop & think of that before they spread  what started as a private matter between one couple,  all over the news so the poor innocent children were bound to see or hear about it! Heelllooo! Just leave them alone & give them the privacy they are entitled to, to work things out on their own! And I do hope they work it out! I believe they still are in love but their lifestyle has gotten in the way. I also believe they love their kids dearly & want whats best for their kids!  What they do allows for their kids to have a lot of positive opportunities that they wouldn't have otherwise.  I bet they don't have to worry about college funds for 8 kids!  I'm happy for them! God bless them!  I still watch the show and my DH tapes it while I work at night so I can watch it when I get home! Bless his heart! I have watched these kids grow up and feel like they are an extended part of my family by way of TV!  I would love to watch them grow up the rest of the way too but if they choose to end the show for whatever reason thats their right and I will miss it but have respect for their descision. I wish them the best life has to offer them and keep them all in my prayers!

They are pretty great people! I can't watch their show I have cable but when I did watch them they were great. I'm glad someone else thinks the same way about news people.

I love Kate. But Jon, well I had a feeling about him the first time I watched the show. He seemed to be disinterested to say the least. I see him as the surfer dude and the kids as an anchor. Kate is the one who keeps order in that house. I have seen him a couple times act as tho they were a burden to his lifestyle. So I don't like him, I think he's a jerk. The 2 older girls know how to act like little brats, lol,. I think Kate has alot on her plate and she is doing well with it. I feel for her that she is going thru this divorce because she seemed to really love her family life and all that it brought her. Not just the show and money but she has a task that most of us couldn't handle. I love her haircut, I love her spunk and I love how she is holding things together. I don't guess ole Jon has considered the child support he is going to have to pay. lol
