Jon and Kate

Oh boy.
So Jon and Kate are getting divorced. Who didn't see that coming? I'll admit to having watched the show a few times. Not a fan by any means, but the kids were cute. I really thought that Kate was pretty cold towards Jon, and pretty much a prima donna on the show. It always had to be about her. She could suck the fun out of any situation. I saw part of an episode where Steve Thomas was helping install solar panels on the roof and she was downright rude to him and the crew the whole time they were there. Maybe she thought that was funny, but I just thought it was rude. I think after the first year or so it was time to put the cameras away and try to lead a normal life. When the kids were old enough to walk and talk, they deserved some privacy. I'm sure they made a lot of money doing the show and that could cloud your judgment. At some point you have to say "this isn't good for my kids". How many famous TV kids grow up to have normal lives?

I'm always amazed by how many reality shows there are. People tune in to watch other people's lives instead living their own. From Cops to Ice Road Truckers to Survivor, we can sit on the couch and virtually participate in someone else's real-life. I'm guilty of it too. I can't necessarily explain it.

Well, best of luck to Jon and Kate and the poor kids who are the real victims here.
How much is child support for eight kids?

  1. Yeah, I watch the show, my husband just hates it he leaves when its on - he can't stand how she talks to Jon. I don't think it's right either and was on Jon's side till he said he was excited about starting a new chapter in his life.
