This week, I have been reviewing comments that people have sent me about Table of 12 and Jon and Kate Plus 8. Some of the Jon and Kate Plus 8 comments were a little harsh, why I don’t know. I have always stated that I think that a good reality show needs to be realistic. If Jon and Kate were already celebrity parents before their show then I could see why neither of them working and taking care of their kids and getting freebies would be fine. I think as stay at home moms, we want to see how they actually would take care of eight children on one income because that is the premise that was advertised when the show began. If you remember at the first special the children were sixteen months old so they did not survive just on Jon’s income for long. Now, we have Table for 12 which is getting criticized for being boring when the family has two sets of twins and sextuplets one of which has cerebral palsy because they said it is too boring. Now, how many of us have sort of boring and mundane lives as parents? I mean we cannot go on trips all the time or have our husbands stay at home and help us. I think that Table for 12 is less boring as some say because the mother enjoys spending time with her kids and is not yelling at her husband or criticizing him. We will have to see what happens with both series, but I think there needs to be more realistic reality tv shows.
