Jon & Kate Plus 8

This show is all about lazy parents making a living off their children. They had jobs that would have earned enough to support this family in a simple way, but they didn't want to work. So they put the kids to work. And don't believe for a minute that it's just the kids living their lives. There are plenty of examples of things done for the show that any sane parent would not have allowed.

The parents insist they do it for the kids, but the reality is they only think about all the goodies they get, the free trips, a fancy house, free stuff. The kids don't care about that. All they want is to be able to play with their friends, not be humiliated on national television, not having to do stuff for the camera, and to have a childhood, which has been stolen from them by greedy adults. And they will probably have nothing to show for it when they turn 18 but resentment.

Don't support this exploitation. It's a travesty that a network calling itself the The Learning Channel has become the sideshow carny channel. Please, do those children a favor, boycott the show and the sponsors and let the sponsors know you won't buy their product so long as they support harming children.

I use to be addicted to this then to a point it certainly get to be the same Ole same Ole after they have gotten tons of money and fame now they get to go do everything have no real struggles only bickering between each other. I lost all respect for Kate after she told TLC her best friend and sister in law could not profit from their children after all the countless hours they helped w the kids after all loved them and gave up their own time and own time with their children.I think its a sad woman who does this.Aunt Jodi deserved more..she was a good human being much better than Kate.. I will never watch again..and I've told all my family and everyone I speak do not watch this..she should want and desire the nest for everyone who wanted good for their kids.

The wife is an obsessive control freak and the husband is spineless to put up with her crap. She screams at him in public.

Kate won't let the kids have any fun for fear of making a mess. What is her problem. They have no friends or family left in their life because they have run everyone off.

I used to like watching the show in the very beginning but the parents have changed. Even the kids attitudes are getting bad. Why do they subject the kids to the constant cameras and lack of privacy.

If you check the message boards, it sounds like the parents are just in it for the money. They canceled a bunch of speaking engagements they had committed to with churches under the pretense of "needing to spend less time away from the kids" - just supposedly to have replaced them with new speaking engagements where they are charging $25,000 to appear.

I love this show. I'm an step dad to 3 kids and I must say that this show is about as real as reality gets. In my opinion the children all seem to be very bright. They all have separate identities, which is great. Too many times I have seen parents of multiples go to the extremes in naming kids variations of the same name and dressing them the same. Its very refreshing to see kids being kids and parents allowing it. As far as Jon I understand his plight he is a husband and husbands must know how to pick their fights. Men who come here and have negative comments about Jon obviously have never been married. It takes a very secure and confident man to do what Jon is doing and not being bothered by what his wife does. In my opinion Kate is no different from any other wife, most women have some type OCD and is insecure

I've read through the previous comments & I think its wrong for those of you to bash Jon & Kate.One of the comments said they thought Kate is a B......,if your a woman you know at some point you have been one too.Raising 8 children I'm sure can be very frustrating at times & Kate doesn't hold back just because shes on TV,like some might.I also disagree with the person who thinks they're EXPLOITING their children.If I had 8 kids & had the chance to do a reality series not only to show others what its like to raise that many kids but I'm sure it also helps to have the extra money it brings in so they can buy a lot more things for the children & a bigger home for them.I see nothing wrong with that.All this news about Jons supposed infidelity is also no ones business to judge.We have no idea about whats actually going on & its a private matter that should be between Jon & Kate-who are we to judge them.Its not like any of us know them personally & that would be the only way we could form a rational opinion.Since none of us do know them,its all speculation. I love the show & hope it continues,its one of the few reality shows that is real & not scripted to make them look perfect-because NONE of us are!!!
