Even Jon and Kate!
Perhaps television’s most beloved family and favorite eight wonderful children are having troubles. What is the world coming too that even this family which started off rough then lifted to new heights with the help of Oprah and TLC is now on a rocky path that might lead to divorce.
However let me just say this as a fan of the family and show I think people maybe getting sucked into something that might just be hype for a show that once had cute lovable babies and now the parents are more famous than what the show was supposed to be about. Sure the show gives us ways to cope with little ones especially in large numbers. Honesty, now what how to cope with a huge family that is having marital problems? Whether this is just coincidence or a show grabbing on for dear life you can make that decision for yourself.
If the whole circus is true and Jon and Kate do divorce let’s just hope this family doesn’t fall apart in front of our eyes the same way we fell in love with them with 8 adorable children. As a parent I used some techniques and hints from the show as another way to help my family. However now it is hard to take advice from a family that separates from each other as soon as the cameras turn off.
It seems fake and perhaps more scripted than before that this family is still pushing on for more on TLC. If these two do finalize a divorce I really believe these two need to formally apologize to their fans and maybe just maybe tell us or show us how we can avoid making possibly the same mistakes they perhaps did on their way to fame.
It is sad that television and the media have made a mockery of this family but I guess this is what they asked for going into something they were totally blind to and unable to cope with at all in the beginning.
Lastly, Jon and Kate was and is a great show but now that all of this is going on should the cameras still be rolling, when the royalties of this show are going right into the pockets of the Gosselins while their children are living a double life. A life that exists on television and the other which is real and in turmoil are going to have a lasting affect on them for years to come.
