Plus 8


I love(d) Jon & Kate plus 8. I thought Kate was the most wonderful mother in the whole world. Even Andy said while watching an episode one night, "Wow, Ya know, she really is a good mom. She let's them make their own minds". And I totally agreed.
Until now.
I happened to be listening to a interview of Aunt Jody & Uncle Kevin (the twins & sextuplets aunt & uncle) and Aunt Jody used to babysit the kids from time to time when Kate needed help and the producers decided to start paying Aunt Jody for her appearances in the show and Kate replied with "No one is making money off of my kids". WHAT?!? She has been helping you and this is how you repay her. Now, Aunt Jody & Uncle Kevin are not in the episodes.

And have you even noticed that the grandparents from either side are not really in the picture?
Well, when Kate first found out she was having sextuplets their church did a charity drive to help gets things for the future babies. Well the church managed to get 6 beautiful working cribs for the babies but Kate refused to take the cribs because THEY DID NOT MATCH.
I'm sorry but if you are having that many babies, you need all the help you can get and the babies don't give two shits whether they match or not.

I hate that my view has changed because I thought that it was just Jon who was the dirty one.
And then I find this out about Kate. And also the rumors of her sleeping with her bodyguard.
I just I don't even know anymore. I have lost respect for both of them as parents.
I just feel sorry for the children. They are the true victims here.
