Jon and Kate Plus 8: A cross between a travel show and infomercial
Okay, as we all know Jon and Kate plus eight has been a topic of controversy lately. I have seen that a former child actor is trying to get it so that the Gosselin’s have to pull the plug on their reality television show. There have been blog postings online from Julie, Aunt Jodi’s sister’s blog stating that the fall outs between Jodi, Kevin and Jon and Kate were due to money. I guess TLC offered Jodi and Kevin compensation and a contract for being on the show but Jon and Kate didn’t want that. Jodi even offered to watch the kids for free without a contract but Kate decided to let her helper Jenny get the contract instead. Kate has burned some bridges that is for sure. I mean Jon and Kate really let fame get to their head. All of their show has basically become a travel show going from destination to destination and an infomercial showing off free items that they have received. I don’t understand how Jon cannot feel bad about not providing for his family. They both say doing their show is work but as a wife and mother I know my husband would feel guilty for staying home and making money off of our child. Kate doesn’t even work anymore, she used to work weekends as a nurse to make ends meet. The kids are old enough that she could work weekends or even part time while their kids are at preschool. Jon could also work. I mean this family basically says they need handouts but real struggling parents get innovative and actually scrimp and save. Jon has a personal trainer, took the kids to a Phillies game in a sky box, Kate dresses the kids in free designer clothes and they get free toys and video games. I mean as a parent you have to know what is best for your kids, and just because your bank account is healthy, it doesn’t mean that it is healthy for your kids. What do you think?

I think the comment that Kate made about one of the toys that was “given” to the family. John pulls the two of “said toys” and says…”oh yes I love these….they are so much fun!” And kate says something to the effect. They only gave us two for eight kids! All the kids do is fight over them.
Um what? You didn’t have to buy them…and you have so much money that you can’t afford to buy 6 more???????
Un greatful if you ask me. I know quite a few families would have 3 kids and would love a donation of a new up and coming toy. Give them one!!!!
