Jon & Kate Plus Nine?

Friday, October 3, 2008

The couple was on "Regis & Kelly" today and made a surprising announcement. When asked if they were going to have any more kids, amid all the chaos on stage, Kate said she doesn't want to get pregnant again, but ...

Haters!! I bet if you were in her situation it would be ok. Everyone always has something to say about someone else. For everyones info, a friend of mine was on a TLC show and she told me that they would tell her what to say to her husband and how to act. Noone really knows what kind of person she is. And if that is her true self so be it, like they say in the beginning of every episode “It’s a crazy life, but it’s OUR LIFE”. I don’t think John and Kate care what you guys have to say about them. It’s funny how so many people in here hate them, but yet they know every episode.Hmmmmm.

I don’t watch the show…but when i have seen them, they seem like a loving family, and their children (all of them) are very happy, healthy children. My hat goes off to them. Raising children is expensive. I have 5 of my own. We wanted more but my health made me have a hysterectomy in my 30’s, after 3 miscarriages. We love our children. Each child is different and you can give them individual attention and love them all with all your heart. God gave them all those children for a reason, God knew they could love them all. Adoption is also a wonderful way to open your hearts to those poor children that might not ever experience love and family if it weren’t for loving, unselfish people that take in these children and love them. People need to stop judging others. We teach our children to judge and that is why we have so much bullying and children killing children because it is taught in the home to judge and that is really sad…

i think every emotion can be displayed in the kids. and they are nothing but happy. they are so well behaved and care for one another. i think jon and kate have done a wonderful job and it is reflected in thier children. there are alot of kids out there who would love to have a family and especially 8 brothers and sisters!. if they are such good parents then they must have a wonderful true relationship as well.

I have never watched Jon & Kate, I have heard all sorts of things about them but I sure feel for them, 8 would be a handful! That is great she wants to adopt after having that many inside at once and possibly another chance of having more than one inside her again I wouldn’t want anymore either! But here is something else to think about maybe she is cranky and such but at least shes not sitting on her butt asking for welfare they are actually working for their kids and making money the best way they can. At times like these you try to make money with what you can the best way you can, and if thats means making it public so be it.

People used to have families of 8 kids all the time like 20 years ago, in fact some people still do and they dont get pregnant with sextuplets they choose to have 8 or more different children. I dont usually comment on these boards but do you guys have nothing better to do than to trash talk people?? I can only imagine what people say about you. Karma. If you don’t like them go find something else to do!

I love watching the show. Each child as their own personality, and yet they are alike. Jon and Kate are amazing and I think its natural to be some what uptight with the world watching you. I say kuddos for a great show, and a great family.

Your right! Every single time I come read these boards you get negative comments about positive things. I’ve watch the show and at times I really feel sorry for the way Kate treats him but if you think about it sometimes we all over react when dealing with alot of kids running around and crying all over the place. There is times when Jon does Kate wrong too. It’s part of life being a family and trying to coupe with what happen, them having alot of children all at once. If they want to adopt more power to them, you don’t have to bash her for saying it.

i watch the show often, and even after having my own six (5 boys one girl), I would probably not be able to handle it. The worse thing is having to live your life through a cameras, I can’t imagine what it is like. NO PRIVACY for anything. Sure they signed on for it but it still is what it is. I think she does try and give them special time but you only have so much time in a day. Look at the Dugger family. Is it 17 and counting? They too manage, each has its own way of handling things. While I would not want to be either either of them, I applaud them, both. Jon and Kate are no different then many families with two or three, in the way they get on with each other.

Wow… all who left negative comments sound absolutly ridiculous! I’m sure none of you know what its like to walk in her shoes so you have no room to be so negative. They are doing a great job with the life they were delt. I would honestly love to see any of you try. They love eachother and their kids and thats whats most important… i mean, of coure families are going to have up’s and down’s, if you dont your not normal! Not to mention with the added stress of a camera crew in your home all the time!

What is the big deal, they are a young couple who love having children. Thats a blessing not a sin or a curse. Shes a good mom, how many people could honestly handle what she has to handle and for her and Jon to have a marriage on top of all of that is beautiful. They are too young to write off anymore children. Im 25 and my husband and I just had our first and we already feel like we waited to long and are rushing to get the next one or two more in before I hit thirty. God Bless em!

I think it’s great that she wants to adopt one day. She didn’t say she wanted to right now. Maybe when the sextuplets are all in school she may adopt one child. She said on some show once that things are tight sometimes but somehow whatever is needed just comes to them. They will be fine. They are sensible people.

Some people can handle pandemonium well, others have 1-2 children and are done. It all depends on what there views are, there are so many sides on subjects like this. They may have parents who help them with expenses, or they may be tied to other funds from reality appearances, talk shows and other sponsors that help put food on the table and pay bills. They may get local help from their old high schools, for people to come and help them with chores, getting the kids to appointments and the like. Which I am sure the laundry every day must be at least 3 loads a day for the family. I wish them a lot of luck,I am sure they have more going on behind the scenes that is not being specified, like the sextuplets Oprah has had on her show ever since they were 1 year old. They have had all kinds of endorsements tied into them and given to them, as being a incredible miracle that she was able to carry them to term. If I am correct, her kids just passed a birthday, they should be turning 12 or something close to that.

Good for Jon and Kate if that is what they both want! Theirs is one of my favorite shows on TV. I have 2 young children and I always feel super stressed by the end of the day. I watch their show to help calm down and realize that I don’t have nearly as hectic a life as they do. I think they do a super job considering their circumstance!

I come from a family of 9, never in my life have I felt neglected or received none or little attention. My parents were there for every event each kid had, and had family home evening together. We went through many trials as a family, but that only strengthened us and brought us closer together. Instead of ripping down someone elses parenting for your self-indulgence, focus on your own. To parents facing negative critics like these, don’t let them get to you. Follow your heart and prove em wrong. Aloha.

I’m sure Kate doesn’t want to give birth to another child due to the fact that she has had a tummy tuck and that would defeat the whole purpose of her flattening her tummy!
