Jon & Kate plus 8
Kevin and Jodi. I agree with them.
By LauraH

Am I the only one who believe that Kevin and Jodi are for real. It amazes me how people are so quick to judge these two.  Did you watch the first two seasons of Jon and Kate Plus 8 ? I did and Kate seemed to love having Jodi and Kevin around their family, especially to help out with the kids and for Kevin to help Jon around the house. I never once thought they were just there to be on TV.  They loved the kids and the kids loved them.  So when did this relationship turn sour?  Well I think it was when TLC brought up the idea of paying Kevin and Jodi for their appearances on the show. So why did Kate have a problem with that ? It still doesn't make sense to me.

I don't know about all of you, but I always enjoyed watching Jodi baby sitting her nieces and nephews. She was loving and caring and the kids loved going to their house to play with their cousins.  When they had the fall out over the money, that is when I was seeing Kate in a different light. I noticed at that time that Kate really didn't have any relatives over to see the kids. Why do so many people think what Kevin and Jodi are doing by speaking out any different from what Jon and Kate are doing by being so immature in their constant bickering and all their TV appearances airing their
dirty laundry.

Kevin and Jodi are parents too and they have watched Kate put down Jon for 5 seasons and yes Jon would snap back, but who wouldn't.  I am not here defending Jon for his behavior especially since they have separated. I hate that he walked out on his kids and started having all these tawdry affairs with all these young girls. I hate that he is out partying, smoking and hanging out with Michael Lohan of all people. I hate that he moved so far away from his kids and felt that is was necessary to rent a $ 5,000 a month Condo.

But I also have watched Kate go from being a mom of twins and sextuplets who did nothing with her hair and wore tshirts and sweatpants every day to wearing designer clothes, heals and getting her hair and nails done all the time. She isn't an actress,  she is a mom aka reality star who let all of this fame go to her head.

I for one have said that it was time to take this show off the air and let the kids have a normal life.  I don't know if it will ever be normal, because most families don't have sextuplets, but they didn't sign up for the last 5 years to have their lives
paraded around in front of millions of people. Jon and Kate did.

Did I get sucked in to watching the show, buying the books and the dvd's ?  Yes I did, but this last year has totally changed my views on what this show is doing to these beautiful kids. Having any parents go through a divorce is hard enough, but to have it aired on TV in front of millions of people is going to affect them even more. If Jon and Kate ( especially Kate ) had any common sense when it comes to the kids, they would realize that the only reason this show was successful was because of the kids and not them and now it is time to let the kids have their childhood back.

I read that Kate wants to do a movie. That is laughable to me, but hey who am I to say she can't be an actress. But if she does pursue that, she will be taking more time away from the kids. She has proven to be a good writer... why doesn't she write some Children's Books. That way she can still stay home with her children.

Isn't it time for this family to move on and stop putting themselves in front of the camera. I used to love Reality TV, but some of these shows are just showing how Stupid people are and why do we  find that so damn entertaining. Go Figure
