I have always had a hard time with Jon and Kate. Watching "pure chaos" for a half hour or more is not my way to relax! Kate doesn't talk respectfully to her husband and it appears he has his issues as well. It is just so sad. I ditto your thoughts about them getting back to what is real.

So sad!<br /><br />I can't imagine living my life in front of a camera. How could it be "real"?<br /><br />mama of 13Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-14069263830219156372009-05-26T11:59:11.690-06:002009-05-26T11:59:11.690-06:00I agree, I used to love the show because of how th...I agree, I used to love the show because of how they related to each other it reminded me so much of how my hubby and I are together. They used to seem real people. Now everything seemed staged, I remembered one episode where Jon was at the computer and he kept telling the camera he was checking his insuance with allstate, It was annoyingly obvious product placement. Same with the food Kate feeds the kids.<br />I just feel they lost touch with what makes them happy. I hope they are able to find that again.frogglethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299913279470994583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-64129715160405851412009-05-26T09:30:41.359-06:002009-05-26T09:30:41.359-06:00I need to work.

I couldn't relate to anyone that wasn't a big, fuzzy or Disney Channel character and I felt worthless. My husband works, but if we suddenly hit the lotto, he'd quit tomorrow to just be "dad". I don't think I would. I love the child care centers I own, and I love being a peds nurse. I love my kids too, but I just felt the drive to be outside the home as well. Now I work when he doesn't and vice versa, that way we both have a life "away". I do it because I need to, he does it because he makes more money.<br />--BeckyFullPlateMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293687772824676499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-91168304395281228172009-05-26T08:22:36.732-06:002009-05-26T08:22:36.732-06:00See, but that is what I'm saying.

It's so obvious that he isn't happy not going to work and having a job. Eric was laid off for 6 weeks once and during that time he was home with the kids every day. He told me at that time that he could just never do that full time. He NEEDED to be out in the job force providing for his family. He needed to be AWAY. Not that he didn't totally adore his children, but I think men (most men) are just wired differently.<br />AnitaA.

TLC is the reason they have the lifestyle they do. How 'real' is it for BOTH parents to stay home and get paid to have a camera in their face and a bodyguard with them 24/7? Not so much. <br /><br />Thankfully, kids adapt and adjust much easier than adults, but I still wonder how this situation will turn out when their 15 minutes of fame are over...Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885915317893776731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-3326728848577327062009-05-25T22:45:39.605-06:002009-05-25T22:45:39.605-06:00I just got done watching the show too.

I agree that they need to step back and try to remember what life was like before. <br />It does make me treasure "real life".<br /> I too, feel bad for the kids involved.Nicole Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597190004796390376noreply@blogger.com
