I'm really glad that there's someone else on this Eath who understands that this type of statement is NOT normal or healthy. Your kids are not supposed to = your life.

There's nothing scandalous about Jon playing beer pong. If anything, it's healthy that he gets to get away and do something fun.

Let me point out that having 4 or 5 is not the same as having 8 (with six of them being the SAME age). Some of you sound like the weirdos on that Kate Hate board where they say stuff like "I have 3 kids and I don't have hired help. Why does she need it?" Because she has 8.

Also, Kate may be a tad bitchy on the show, but I HONESTLY think that she has her kid's best interest in mind. If she felt that the being filmed was harming her family in some way, I am sure she wouldn't continue with it. She has said that on TV before.

I've said it before, but I think the show is going to do alot for these kids. Kate has said herself that there is NO WAY she'd be able to take the kids ANYWHERE if the show hadn't given them the financial means to be able to go on trips and stuff. She has alao said that the show has made it possible for them to be able to eventually send all 8 to college. Doesn't sound detrimental to me.
