Beth, if I'm not mistaken, lives on those acres of land.

I know they were married in Wyomissing, not sure if that was where their first house was....but it would make a little more sense since Jon's dad was always around and also Nana Joan (i think that is her name).

But I know that Beth moved. I remember her talking about it in one episode. Idk if she still lives in Wyomissing. I would find it strange if she lives in Wyomissing b/c Jon made it seem like it was sooo far away (that is where they saw the 4th of July parade) and they always drop the kids off at Beth's.

Question for all of you.....do you think since the sextuplets are going to preschool soon, do you think they'll continue w/ the show? If yes, how do you think they'll film it?

They have said that they'd like to keep going with the show as long as they are able. Kate has said that would like to do preschool at home for the little kids but I guess we'll see.

I recall seeing the "Wyomissing, PA" banner in the Surviving Sextuplets and Twins specials. In the ones after that, they've simply read "Central Pennsylvania"...probably good reason for nosy people like us.

Beth's still in that gorgeous house, right? After all, who'd want to move and give up all that space?

I've read Wyomissing, Lancaster, Hershey...all over, but some other stalkerrific fan posted they live in Elizabethtown, PA on another site. I also take it that not too many people who live in those areas aren't real fans of Kate or the show.

ETA: Being that others are posting the family's and Aunt Jodi's home addresses on another site, I wonder if the show provides security for them?

Wow, whoever wrote that blog seems pretty passionate about Kate not letting the kids use markers at the crayon factory. LOL.

I know that people love the show and stuff, but I think it's really stalkerrific of people to put their home addresses out there, particularly since there are so many people who (as seen in the blog) don't like them at all.

That link is insane. Is Kate's financial record on public display or something? how do they claim to know so much? Jealousy is such an ugly color on people.

I wanna say their how is in Lancaster b/c I think it during the episode that they went to that "gymboree" place, the workers said Lancaster. Although i'm not too familiar with PA, so i'm not sure how close all these places are at.

I always thought they were in Reading.

About Beth, I believe the house she moved into was the one at the top of the hill....its huge and beautiful. I think you and I are thinking of the same one, OTW.

ETA: I was unaware that, after reading the comments on that URL, Kate getting a haircut every now and then is WRONG!!!!!! For shame Kate!! Apparently Kate has sooo much money that she spends all her time at the salon, bitching at Jon and her housekeepers (!!). Since when does Kate have housekeepers? I serioulsy don't consider Beth, Carla or Nana Janet a housekeeper. She does have someone come once a month to clean the house. Wow, biiiiiig spender!! lol

About Beth, i'm not sure which house you are referring to. The house they moved into i believe is the house they showed on the episode when they were filming the new opening scenes. Its the house that at the top of a big winding road hill.

Yep, that's the house I'm talking about.

I thought they were in Reading, too, until the WDW episode where Jon says he has to pick up the trailer in Reading.

If you thought the above link was bad, check out what they're saying here. These people make us on GC look like saints!

Why did so many people say that Kate and John live in a "mansion"? Their house is far from a mansion. It's not even a McMansion.

Wow. One of those people even said something like, "How about the way she abuses her kids and her husband?"

From what I've seen, she's far from an abusive parent, I mean unless you count "time-out" as abuse.

They also keep talking about how she lives in a "mansion." I think they live in a modest home. I wonder where some of those ladies on the above blog live where they think that house is so amazing. Don't get me wrong, it's nice, but these people make it sound like she is living it up in the Hearst mansion or something.

Dunno yo, her "stern look" is pretty scary. Just kidding.

Those two are far from abusive, and I'm sure that commenter pulled that one out of her ass.

I had to really LOL at the original blogger who claims having only twins is the same as having 8 kids. I'm sorry but the number of kids is not irrelevant. I'm pretty sure you can do, and afford, A LOT more with 2 kids, than you can do with 8.

I'm not exactly sure what "product placement" there is besides what they are talking about, but yesterday's episode had some of the labels blocked out.

Really though i agree w/ some of the comments---if product placement is gonna help the 8 get through college, then go for it!


ETA: about the "abusive" ways of Kate. I'm kinda tired of hearing people bitching about the way she talks to Jon. yeah she bitches, but i'm pretty sure its something those commenters do as well. Shoot my mom and dad (who are well in their late 50s early 60s) still bitch at each other like Jon and Kate. I like how people keep saying "mansion." In their episodes they show some of the neighboring houses and I think Jon & Kate's house is the most lack-luster of them all.

Ok, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Feeding and clothing 2 kids is not the same as feeding and clothing 8. She should go to the store, and buy a box of cereal, then go and buy like 5 boxes of the same cereal (about what that big of a family probably needs) and see which costs more. She should also go and buy 2 boxes of diapers, and then buy 6, and see the difference.

All I had to do was see the title, "Parenting Squad", to know what I was in for reading that article. One LOL moment, when she blithely said how the # of kids is "irrelevant" when discussing multiples (as though 2 in any way compares with EIGHT), and the irony of her ad-supported blog taking Kate and the show to task for being supported by ads.

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

Her dad's face might be blurred in the wedding video because (if I remember my TCOM Law & Regs correctly- but it's been 16 yrs since that class) he would have to sign off on having his image shown on TV (since it is not a news/sports program and he would not be an incidental background person). So her parents might not want to be on TV and therefor they legally have to blur out his face.

As for the blog, wow, I think I need to go bleach my brain after reading some of that.

I still love the show and I don't care how many freebies they get.

Oh, I wasn't even thinking that. I was thinking more along the lines of "I'm ashamed of family and I don't want anyone to know how they look like."

I just saw Jon's hair transplant episode and it made me think of the HAIR TRANSPLANTS ARE THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE! thread. I laughed at Kevin's "the things you do for your sister!" remark.

I don't care about how many freebies they get, either. If someone offered me free stuff, I'd take it in a heartbeat...and I know many of you would, too.
