Very well said. Very nice. I agree. Money gets tight and times get tough, but having a mommy and daddy home every night to love all those babies is priceless.

i agree with you. i think what disappointed me the most was his unwillingness to try to work things out. once you give up (by having an affair or thinking about it), what more is there? the only way my husband and i are still married is because neither of us have “checked out.” it definitely is hard in or out of the spotlight, but you both have to keep fighting.

This is possibly the best post I’ve read on the subject. I don’t have television, so I don’t know much about Jon and Kate and had actually not even heard of them until a week ago, but the more I’ve read on the Internet, the more I’ve wondered if their show didn’t, in large part, contribute to their current difficulties.
Like you said, that sort of fame and money comes at what cost? I’d take my obscurity every day too, and I’m glad that I’m not the only one who feels that way =)
First time by your blog, by the way. LIKE!

There are so many times I have seen MYSELF in Kate and her actions…and I don’t have multiplies either…so I can only imagine.
I watched the premiere…it was SOO sad!

Mon,
I adore you. and above and beyond that, I respect you.
Watching Jon and Kate last night was heart wrenching, terrible, sad and so much more.
Bless you and your fabulously strong grasp on reality.

Well said! I don’t even parent multiples, I just had three kids the old fashioned way , but I totally agree with you about how a 30 minute show can’t paint a real picture of what a family’s day to day life is truly made of. I can hardly watch the show sometimes because I feel so convicted when I hear Kate being “forceful” about something. I just commented on someone’s Facebook page that you couldn’t pay me enough money to have my life broadcast to the world like that. I know exactly how imperfect I am, and I don’t plan on sharing all my imperfections with anyone but the people who have to deal with them everyday and still love me! I feel very sad about the Gosselins situation, but I have hope for them. Their story doesn’t have to be over yet, and I hope there will be a happy ending.
