Jon and Kate Plus Eight

[gee_ess]

I feel sorry for Kara and Maddy who, you know, are going to have someone at school say, "I saw your mommy crying on tv...etc." It is obvious that both of the older girls know something is up.

Also, for everyone who has remarked about the exploitation of the little ones, I think the chance at a normal childhood has gone by the wayside as the media craze has been ratcheted up several notches. When you have to give instructions about the paparazzi waiting outside the party store before you can unload the van, that is not normal.

IMO, the "I do this all for my kids" slogan is wearing thin. The marriage has suffered and now the kids will suffer. Time to get out. Write a book about the strain multiples and reality shows put on marriages and cash in...

It is really a sad, sad situation. (as are most divorces)

Wait. I missed this episode. Jon said he didn't want to be married? At what point did he stop wanting to be married? Before the twins? Before the wedding? WHEN?! That is a very confusing statement for someone who is married to make.

He never said straight out "I don't want to be married" but he made it pretty clear that he only cares about the kids (i.e. not Kate) and never made a point to say that he was hopeful the marriage would work, etc. Kate made that point in a roundabout way, probably to save her pride since she knew Jon wouldn't be saying the same thing. Even at the end they both said they didn't know if they would be together.

btw, like Jon would ever admit on his "family" show that he cheated. He acts like him saying it didn't happen is enough to quash the rumors. I call big fat liar. No way is a man in his early (mid?) thirties hanging out with a twenty something who ISN'T his wife/gf/best friend/etc getting wasted at bars if something isn't going on.

I also thought it was interesting that Kate never said "I believe that he didn't cheat". She only said "Jon made a mistake..."

TLC must be thrilled, I bet last night was a ratings bonanza.

I honestly don't remember what episode it was, but he mentioned that he always thought he'd never get married "and then he met Kate." He's also said it in magazine interviews as well.
