Jon and Kate Plus 8

anywho knows me well knows that i am a HUGE fan of the show Jon and Kate Plus 8- if you have never heard of it, here is a quick synopsis. Jon and Kate are a married couple who struggled with infertility (IF)- they got pregnant and had twin girls, Cara and Maddy. When they wanted more the did the same IF treatments and soon found out they were pregnant with six babies. They were very against reduction so decided to keep all 6 and had perfectly healthy babies- Aidan, Joel, Collin, Leah, Alexis, and Hannah. The show is on TLC on Monday nights at 9pm but can also be found on Wednesday nights starting at 7pm.

Anyway- I recently came across blogs that are bashing the validity of this show. I have always been an advocate for Kate- if you have seen the show you know she can be uptight, grouchy, strict, a little sarcasitc, bossy, etc...however, i believe that you never judge someone without walking in their shoes first. Jon reminds me of my dear husband, just sort of goes with the flow, everything will work out in the end, sort of attitude. While Kate does things often that do get under my skin (although it rarely has to do with the children) i still love her and respect everything she does.

These blogs are horrible! I will post the links at the bottom if you want to check them out- they made me so sick. One is actually a blog by Aunt Jodie's sister! These people are basically claiming that the show is fake, the kids are miserable, all Jon and Kate do is things for themselves, all they care about is money, neither of them work (not true- Jon works) and why on earth would Kate want to work? I am just sooo upset! I can;t believe i am this mad over some blogs that don't have to do with me whatsoever! i feel like i know Jon and Kate and all the kids! I feel for them because i know they hear this all the time. As much i would hate to see them go off the air i would completely understand them doing it to protect the family.

I emailed the Gosselins earlier today and told them how much i loved their show and feel like they knew them. I told them i pray for their family daily and the stupid nonsense that is out there in cyperspace is completely ridiculous. Please do the same if you want!

Here are the gross blogs that make me so upset! Ugh!!!!
