OMG Natalie Morales (or whatever her name was) was annoying! She obviously hasn't watched the show, I couldn't stand that she kept mispronouncing Leah's name. She kept saying "lay-a" instead of "lee-ah"

I just heard about this show. We'll have to see it--I remember seeing the show on Discovery (?) years ago where Kate got plastic surgery to get rid of her post-baby belly. It looked like Squidward's nose!

But lol at you guys who are wondering how you take 8 little ones to WDW. Hey, we've done it with our 13 and no help from cameramen! You just do what you have to.

We were featured on CNN once and had to deal with some stalkerish people. Based on that, I'm don't think I'd want a show, website, or message board!

Big family life is a whole different ball game. You definitely have to make the kids your life for them to turn out well-adjusted.

I checked GC right before the Today Show aired this morning and I was able to catch it. They all looked so cute in yellow!

I'm very excited to see this Monday's episode about Jon & Kate in the early years. It'll be neat to see the twins when they were babies.

And how great that Season 4 starts Monday as well. If only our other favorite shows could be quick like that!

Did anyone catch last night's episode?

When talking about her parents, sometimes I wish she'd just say "I'm ashamed of mom and dad and this is why..." so she can save others from Googling it. Don't know how valid that answer is (especially the part about the no teeth), but the generic answer she always gives and the look she has when she gives it leads me to believe that she's totally hiding them on purpose.

I agree. Plus the whole "Nana Janet" thing always throws my wife and me off.

I'm curious as to how they got people to sign up to help in the first place.

I know that, with other multiples (namely the Dilley 6 and McCaughey 7), members of their church took shifts in feeding and changing.

The way Kate put it out there last night, it seemed like they put out an open call for help. Immediate family need not apply.

That explains things alot. I always found her answers to the "Why aren't your parents on the show?" question to be a little weird, like she was hiding something. It was never just like "Oh they live far away." or "We don't talk much." That's pretty normal. It's always something like "It's just better off at this point in time for them to not be around." That leads people to believe that there's something going on with them.


Sidenote: I loved seeing their home videos. I'll say it again, John and Kate were totally hot before they had kids.

Jon's story is more believeable -- my mom works a lot.

Kate's dad's face was even blurred out in the wedding video.
