I Hate Jon and Kate Plus Eight

A few months ago someone recommended the show Jon and Kate Plus Eight. So, I started checking it out. It didn't take long for me to decide that I found the entire premise despicable. Here you have two people who convinced a doctor to start fertility treatments when they were in their early 20's and had not been trying to get pregnant for at least a year. I have had many friends with fertility issues, ranging in severity, and not one of them has done anything before they were unsuccessful for 12 months. They also waited until one was over 25 (the others were already over 25).

My complaint is that Jon and Kate treat each other horribly. I would never treat my husband that way and expect to remain married. It's disturbing that so many find their poor treatment of each other to be entertaining. I've heard so many say, "Kate is so mean to him. It's hillarious." Really? I also find them both to be money-grubbing whores who exploit their children. There, I said it. That is what this is really about. I would never put my children on TV to earn my paycheck. Having cameras in your house all day long, every week obviously changes the dynamics of what is "real" in your house. These are children for God's sake.

I started working on a post for this a month or so ago and kept getting so angry as I was writing that it came off sounding like the crazy rantings of a mad woman. As I was researching information on Jon and Kate I came across an article that could not have said it better. I've attached the link below. She has hit the nail on the head. (You will need to scroll up to the top for the article).
