Jon and Kate Plus Eight

So apparently Jon finally had enough - and went out partying while visiting his mom. Good discussion of what it might all mean -

Between annoying Kate and all those kids, he needed some "me" time.

I haven't watched the show in a few weeks. Do they have babysitters sometimes? Both Jon and Kate need "me" time and "couple" time outside of the kids. Their family situation makes me cringe everytime I watch it.

LOL.

I don't think it necessarily "means" anything, just that EVERYBODY needs to party at some point. Parents aren't meant to be in their Mommy and Daddy roles ALL the time. It's not healthy.

Well, when I (mother of a mere 4) go to "party", it isn't playing beer pong with young men 1/2 my age. Nope, I tend to go out with my friends, or even my husband. I think there is appropriate mommy/daddy time, and then there's this. I am all for Jon having a good time, but the larger issue is what all this publicity means as far as the children's well-being. Is it in their best interest to be on the show? I think the Open Salon piece does a good job of pointing out some of the ramifications of it all. Given that he's married to Kate, I'm surprised the man isn't a raging alcoholic!
