They both used to have regular jobs - he the IT planner and she the nurse, but since the show took off, they've been doing speaking engagements and have been promoting their books. I would think they'd be making $$$ off book and DVD royalties, not to mention the fat paycheck from TLC. I'd like to know how just how much just because I'm curious. I doubt they'll ever disclose that info, but Kate did say that all 8 will be able to go to college because of it.

I think that's great, because really, by the time it's time for them to start looking at colleges, tuition is probably going to be astronomical. I don't even want to think of what it'll cost them to send all 6 of the little kids.

Doesn't Kate still work part time as a nurse? I assumed she did it to get out of the house and interact with adults a few days a week.

She used to work every other Saturday....but then she stopped working completely to be a SAHM. Jon used to be an IT analyst, and then he got this new position (i believe in a different company) that would allow him to either work at home more often, or completely. But now I don't think he works at all....who knows.

I stopped watching because Kate was always screeching at Jon - it was driving me crazy to see her verbally abusing him. I kept wanting to get off the couch, climb into the tv, and defend Jon.

I love this show.
But oh my goodness.
Kate made me want to put my head through the TV when she kept going on and on about the RECEIPTS and the COUPONS FOR THOSE STUPID SHOWER HEADS.
"JON, YOU DO NOT GO TO THAT STORE WITHOUT THE COUPONS!"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE THE COUPONS?"
"WHERE ARE THE RECEIPTS?"
"JON, I NEED THE RECEIPTS!"
"JON, WHERE ARE YOU? I NEED THE RECEIPTS. YOU ARE TAKING THESE BACK TOMORROW."
"YOU SPENT $50 ON SHOWERHEADS?"
Seriously. She sounded as if they were destitute.

Dave hugged me a little tighter when we watched this. I think he was grateful that I let him buy things without coupons.

Lol a lot of the girls watch it at the house so when I'm there I'm subjected to the torture  But that's always what I think! I'm always saying if she'd just stop yelling at him for five seconds!!!
