The kids were really cute and the show was mostly about them. But I got really uncomfortable watching Kate and Jon together, because she reminded me of my ex-sister-in-law. My EX-SIL never could say one nice thing about my brother, and was always putting him down in front of everyone. She was a truly miserable, evil woman. They were married 5 years, and my brother once said that they never had one completely happy day during their marriage. I thought that was really sad. They had two children, who she worked on tirelessly to turn them against their father. It took her about 6 years to do it, but unfortunately she succeeded. His children won't have anything to do with him (but he sure better not miss any payments, of course!) I predict the same thing wil happen with these poor kids. I won't watch this show anymore. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402256 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:34:50 +0000 Annie R 402256@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>SM, totally agree. Seems like TV and fame seems to ruin (or at least diminish) whatever it touches, although it usually has help from willing patsies like J&#38;K. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402249 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:23:51 +0000 SoxsMom 402249@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>My Grandfather was the youngest of 13--they all ended up normal. They were raised on a farm with next to nothing and yet they always had parents and a sense of family. Money may be great--but does it take the place of a family. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402245 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:21:29 +0000 Annie R 402245@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I grew up the oldest of 8 kids, my folks did it the old fashioned way, one at a time! Been there, done that...but thank God my parents had some sense!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402244 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:20:00 +0000 owlwatcher_974 402244@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I watched an episode of American Chopper where they were building a bike for Jon. I really thought that guy seemed sort of arrogant and a bit more concerned about himself than his family. There was supposed to be an episode where the guys from American Chopper spent the entire day with Jon and Kate, but I had no interest in watching it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402242 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:17:09 +0000 Leeny 402242@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Most of us don't. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402241 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:15:55 +0000 kathyanne11/13 402241@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>NEVER HAVE NEVER WILL WHY DO YOU? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402240 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:15:51 +0000 Leeny 402240@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Speaking of Octomom, did they let her keep custody of those children? The last I heard, child protective services was investigating the home environment to determine if the newborns would be allowed to go to it, and the home was in foreclosure. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402238 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:14:56 +0000 cricketsmama 402238@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I have to admit, we watched them in the beginning but when they got trips all the time and all the perks...we stopped...I can't stand Kate, she's a royal b--ch and it stopped being about raising 8 kids and it was about the fame...sad..those poor kids. I like Jon..he needs to grow some balls though. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402237 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:14:06 +0000 Leeny 402237@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wonder how they're going to work out custody. Split the kids between them? Have one parent trying to raise 8 kids? Hire somebody else to do it? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402228 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:03:35 +0000 mollycat71 402228@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>*lightheaded, has to sit down* I am so shocked!

Wouldn't that be a hoot! Now THAT I would watch. Those poor kids, I can't help but think of them. They are so adorable and when I saw Kate smacking her on the front of a magazine today in Target I shuddered. Kate had a very mean look on her face. Not a face a child should have to see. I thought of another one, boy Beth, look what you started. I like "Mystery Diagnosis" on TLC. Not sure if that is "reality" in the same sense but it has real people re-playing their mystery diagnosis. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402224 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:02:06 +0000 Bellantara 402224@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MSNBC is reporting now that Jon and Kate filed for divorce today. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402223 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:02:01 +0000 SoxsMom 402223@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I saw a few of the first year that they were on and loved watching the kids. It isn't about the kids anymore. It is about him hanging in a bar and her strutting her new body on the beach. I am sure when the show first was presented to them, it looked like the perfect solution for how to raise a family that large. They needed an income! Now that the money is in the bank and they are getting things the idea if the show is gone. She wants plastic surgery and hobknobing with the rich and famous. He is materialistic as well. For them they sacrificed their 8 children and are in the money now. I hope they save enough for those kids when they need massive therapy! I haven't watched the last season or this season--I can't stand what is happening with the kids. Those are darling children and they deserve a loving family--not to be exploited so their dad can buy an apartment in Trump Towers, or the mom can afford more plastic surgery and travel (without her kids!). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402217 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:53:25 +0000 Annie R 402217@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm sure whatever their "big announcement" might be, it will be all over the net and other media tomorrow....I just had a great vision though...wouldn't it be great "reality TV" for the Department of Family &#38; Child Svcs (or whatever they call it where Jon and Kate live) to get in the picture and bust them both for exploiting all the kids. They could come in and do a raid, ala "COPS" Jon and Kate are no better than Octomom! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402129 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:48:10 +0000 Tigerlilly 402129@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Have never watched it and have no plans to start now! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402120 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:28:30 +0000 AV 402120@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Not a fan AT ALL, and can't stand to see them plastered all over the magazines standing in line at the grocery store!...... puts "blinders" on to go to store..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402115 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:12:56 +0000 WillowandWindismom 402115@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Jon and Kate??? *gets out axe* I have never watched it but the previews are enough. I think that Kate must be one of Octomom's role models.</p> <p>*blush* I am a What Not to Wear junkie, although I don't watch it unless I'm upstairs sewing. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245/page/2#post-402113 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:10:44 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 402113@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh I forgot I watched Housewives of Atlanta for a little bit. They were so pathetically in to themselves and their displays of wealth. It was just so pathetic. I watched maybe 3-4 shows and their follow-up meetup show. I also watched some show called Millionaire Match Maker. Boy were those men pathetic too. I also watched maybe 2-3 shows before being disgusted with the men. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245#post-402111 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:06:57 +0000 ailuromaniac 402111@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I learned my sewing from the Bible...."As ye sew so shall you rip." I cannot count the number of seams I have had to resew.<br /> I would pick a project (usually one beyond my ken) and dig in. Mom got me a stack of "how to" books and I'd dig in. If I did not understand a step in the pattern instructions, out came the books.<br /> Mom and I draped my wedding gown. I still remember the voices from the livingroom.</p> <p>SO: They sound serious don't you think we should go in and stop them?<br /> Dad: If you think you are man enough to get between them you are welcome to try. Me, I am staying put. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245#post-402104 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:02:10 +0000 Annie R 402104@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Leeny you have my admiration! My mother in law has her degree in home ec and became a nurse from there, it's really about learning how to manage a household which is definitely knowledge everyone needs. I wish I had tried harder to learn how to sew, it seemed like I had 10 left thumbs so I got frustrated and let it get the better of me. One practical class I wish I would have taken was Auto Shop, it's empowering to know how to fix your car if you have to. But back in the early 70's girls in shop were as scarce as boys in Home Ec class. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245#post-402097 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:54:43 +0000 mollycat71 402097@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I wish I would have paid closer attention to sewing when my mom tried to teach me. I was too busy running and playing softball and tennis and riding my bike to care! What I wouldn't do to go back to that! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245#post-402094 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:51:45 +0000 Leeny 402094@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ah, Annie, I got two degrees in home economics back when it still existed. I took every home ec course my high school offered except Man in the Kitchen. The first course I took was sewing. When I was in high school and college, I made all my own clothes. I've lost that skill now; haven't touched a sewing machine in nearly 30 years. It's a skill I'd like to recapture. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245#post-402090 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:48:21 +0000 Annie R 402090@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AI that is great news, I'll be watching for it. Will it be on Lifetime in August? It's amazing how well all those designers can sew, kudos to you too for being a seamstress, I'm a home ec dropout! When I was in high school I wanted to be a fashion designer till I learned you had to know sewing....oh well... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245#post-402089 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:48:04 +0000 Leeny 402089@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Why don't you try it, Molly? Pitch it to one of those medical channels. They'd probably be more likely to make a single episode about you than a series, but picking up the hundred thousand once would be nice. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245#post-402086 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:45:14 +0000 mollycat71 402086@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>oh beth, you got me started! the other ones that really bug me are the ones with all the "little people"! aargh! working my whole life in health care i just don't see people that are dwarfs, or people missing limbs, or people in wheelchairs as "different". they are just people. when did that become the premise for a television show?? can i make a show called "miracle brain surgery kid" and get 100000 an episode???? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18245#post-402084 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:43:38 +0000 ailuromaniac 402084@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OK I forgot "Project Runway" I guess because it has been so long since the kerfuffle about moving to Lifetime. But it will be back in August.</p> <p>I actually pick up a lot of sewing tips and ideas that I can use from that program. </p>
