Jon and Kate Plus 8 Season 5 Premiere
Last night, I watched the season 5 premiere of Jon and Kate Plus 8.I have to say I felt bad for Jon more than I did for Kate. I mean Jon sad that he quit working two years ago to stay home with his kids and he felt bad because he was not working like he used to. He also just wants his normal life back. Kate said that the cameras and fame are not going to stop. Sadly, I think that if Jon wants to be off camera then his marriage to Kate will end because she loves the limelight. I really did not enjoy her bashing Jon for not helping with the party prep, I mean it is like he is only of use to her when he does her errands or chores. The coldness between the two was quite clear especially at the birthday party. I felt bad when Alexis was talking to Jon about the little boy she brought and then said that she wants her daddy to come home. Jon told her that some daddy’s don’t come home because they have to work. He gave her a big hug and a kiss and you can tell that he really does miss his kids.I think maybe he only lives there when Kate is away, but I am not sure. All in all, I thought that this episode showed how fame can screw up your lives, not multiples. I mean yes there is stress but most people would respect their husband’s wishes if he said I want the cameras off and my life back, but that is just me.
