Jon & Kate..

Traci, ITA and you worded everything perfectly!

The thing is..they were local celebrities before the show ever even started, so no matter what things were always going to be a bit different for them, ya know?
 
I'm not an anti-Kate person at all. I just see how her abrasive personality towards her husband could make that relationship a hardship. I am a mom of twins and I think it takes a STRONG personality to be a mom of multiples...I have one myself. And lets face it, we only see what the producers edit and let us see. So we may just be seeing the worst of Kate because that is what they want us to see. Hard to know what the real story is since it is a TV show. All I know is no amount of money would be worth my marriage.

They knew the ramifications of having sextuplets, so I don't feel sorry for their situation. From a monetary standpoint or otherwise. I mean it doesn't take someone with a college degree to do the math on that one. 10 kids=a lot of money. So I see why they did the TV show in the beginning, but seeing how it is tearing their family apart or at least adding to tearing it apart I think that you have to put the relationship over the money. I mean they would still get sponsorship deals, etc if they didn't have a tv show anymore at this point. I saw today that they get $75K an episode, so I am sure that since they got the new house that they are in beyond their means and need the show to pay for the things they want.

The instability of their relationship is heart-breaking to see since it's so public too. But you get what you ask for and like Jon said, it's not always greener on the other side. The price you pay for fame I guess.

It is just a sad situation. It made me uncomfortable to watch the episode last night. I think they should just end the show and work on their marriage.
