I think this is, without a doubt, one of those "you can't really know unless you are in their shoes" type of situations.
I tend to agree with SWTXBelle in thinking that if your family is fortunate enough to get a book deal, and some tv specials, by all means cash in, but A) if family relationships are suffering,B) your children are being filmed more often than not, C) your other children are becoming resentful, D) you are the subject of secret beer pong photos and media scoops... then it is time to back off a bit.
IMO - the tail is wagging the dog at this point. Plenty of people have large families. They figure out how to do it. And 6-8 children of varying ages cost just as much, if not more than 6- 8 that are all the same age. I am not blaming J & K for being enterprising and smart - just finding fault with what it and they have turned into.
