Jon and Kate Plus Eight

[LucyKKG]

I watched this show for the first time yesterday, and I liked it a lot! Super cute. I watched 2 or 3 episodes.

I felt bad for poor Jon in this episode. What was Kate's problem?

Telling the poor man that he can't cook, and then saying that a "real" cook would never follow a recipe.

People "in the know" with Jon's family in Hawai'i have said that the Gosselins have been invited to do a show on Maui, so a Hawaiian vacation episode may be in the works!

I can't wait to see how the flight from PA to Maui will go! Now that the kids are a little older, maybe they'll travel better!

She had less choice in having 8 kids than most do. Yes, she could have aborted some of them, which would REALLY have her under attack, but who plans to have 8 kids with only two pregnancies?

I think they're doing dang well for the situation.

I probably should have said "no one made her have kids" period. But if you take fertility drugs, you need to know that you are rolling the dice for a possible multiple birth situation. I understand she had issues conceiving and that's why they went that route, but you need to prepare for the most extreme of things to happen.

Plus - the twins are old enough to be helping with chores like folding laundry and things of that nature.

Well, many many many women who undergo fertility treatments and have huge multiple pregnancies DO choose to reduce the number of fetuses. It's the doctor's standard recommendation AFAIK. Of course in many cases some of the fetuses will die anyway before birth because it's just not a good situation for them.

And if she had decided to do that, she wouldn't be a semi-celebrity with her own TV show, so no one would care. I don't think that most women who reduce their multiple pregnancies advertise that fact...

Last night they visited Thomas the Train at the Strasberg Railroad Station.

I never thought I'd ever get to say this, but I really thought that all 8 kids were more well behaved than the parents last night. Jon and Kate now are definitely not the Jon and Kate of the "Surviving Twins and Sextuplets" episodes.

They go another another summer vacation next week, complete with a U-Haul truck and all. Can't wait to see this one!

Hopefully when they get new property they get enough space because Kate always complains about not having enough space in the house... i def. agree about it being best for the kids

Jon & Kate renewed their wedding vows on Maui!



The children (the ones we can see in this photo, anyway) look just absolutely darling.

Bet this was a totally different from their first wedding 9 years ago!

Word on the street says they're still on their Maui vacation. Hope they're enjoying themselves!

[LttleMsPrEp]

Yes its an adorable pic. . . . But is it wrong that my first thought seeing all the kids in white is I cant wait to see Kate try and keep them all "clean" (and by try i mean freak out)

Aunt Jodi speaks!
