Time to Exit, John & Kate

An editorial on a blog called A Minor Consideration, a foundation that gives guidance to child stars. I think they have a point when they say that kids need privacy as they get older. Will be interesting to see what happens as they grow up.

I just watched the "Labor Day" episode where they took the kids back to the hospital and such where they were born, and the condo where they lived while they were waiting to get all the kids out of the hospital.

Something that I can appreciate about the Gosselins is the fact that they're very honest about their initial feelings about having 6 kids at once.

On alot of those "multiple baby TV shows" the families are just sooo excited to have that many kids they say "OMGG my babies ARE SOO WONDERFUL and we WERE so THRILLED to have them!"

J&K are pretty up front about the fact that they were pretty freaked out by it at first.

I just watched the episode about the kids going to preschool.

I was pretty surprised that Kate didn't homeschool the kids (I think she mentioned in past episodes that she wanted to).

It also surprised me that all 6 of them are in the same classroom. You'd think that after spending the first couple years of life together all the time, that she'd insist on them being split up.

I missed last night, but as for all the kids being in the same classroom- it depends on the size of the preschool. My son's preschool only had one class per age per day, so unless you split up the days they are there (some go Monday-Wednesday, others go Tuesday-Thursday or something) they pretty much have to be in the same class.

I'm almost positive the pre-school is at their church (the building and the surroundings looked familiar). Usually churches don't have many pre-school classes. I think they'll be split up when they get into kinder & beyond.


Also I don't know if it was mentioned, but Kate was on an episode of "Say Yes to the Dress." She went to go pick out a dress for the vow renewal in Hawaii.

That most certainly is their church's pre-school. http://gtaog.org/232384.ihtml (The church was mentioned in a Special Thanks in the closing credits) I recall Kate saying in a previous episode that "that's where the twins went and where the little ones will eventually go there too."

I can't believe how much the kids have grown. Hannah's quite the sassy one, it's cute. And Joel -- out of all the kids, I never thought he'd be the first to ride a two-wheeler. It makes sense, though, especially since he was one of the first ones to even want to start riding a bike.

I didn't grow out of my training wheels until I was like 7/8! Good for Joel! I love Hannah's sassy attitude. I can't believe that Hannah weighs more than Colin (this was on a different episode), I guess Kate is right--his big head makes you think he weighs more! lol
