Not all the famlies on that "kids by the dozen" show are quite as "out there" as the Fiddler family. There was one family that was sending their oldest son off to college. The kids all attended public school, and looked like they were assimilated into society!
With Jon and Kate....I remember in the original show they did say that they were prepared for a second set of twins, but just shocked by the idea of 6! (And who wouldn't be!) I'm just amazed how much they do by themselves. Their families are not nearby to help out, and they have a few friends who come over, but I think there are many times they're all by themselves. And they've figured out what they need to do to raise 8 kids. Some people might say that the oldest two are given too many "grown up" responsibilities but in my mind, they're just being part of a family and doing what they need to do to make their family work.

Kate IS kind of a bitch though. They were talking to the cameras about their trip to Disney, and seeing a performance of Cirque du Soleil. Kate starts talking about these two Asian girls who were performers in the show, and how she thought they were really talented. So Jon adds in something like, "I think they were Japanese," and Kates snaps, "THEY WERE ASIAN."
... um, she might want to consider thinking before she yells at him.
And yeah, the Duggar kids do seem really sweet. That's just a hell of a lot of kids.

Posted: 2/24/08 at 9:45pmI do think Kate likes everyone to know who wears the pants in that family.

They're cute, though. She can be a little bitchy, but I really like her. It's refreshing after watching The Real Housewives of Orange County.
John is adorable.

Posted: 2/24/08 at 9:48pmI enjoy when Kate and Jon have time alone together. You can see that, despite everything, they still have a special connection.

Posted: 2/24/08 at 9:51pmYeah Misschung- the Real Housewives are definitely annoying and yet I watch! Yeah, Jon is cute but he looks like whatever he does isn't good enough. He always looks so exhausted.

Posted: 2/24/08 at 11:46pmI adore this family, they are all adorable. Kate and Jon are good together, yes she can be overbearing at times (ok most of the time) but they always work it out and they do love each other. My "favorite" is Hannah but I love all the kids.

Kate seems less overbearing in this episode; she is organized but not so controlling. And because of that, I think the kids behaviors are much better.

I can't believe Kate broke down on the plane... and yet I can at the same time. I could only imagine what it was like being on that plane for 14 hours with all 8 kids!
Edited to fix TERRIBLE grammar. oops!

I think that only makes it worse. When they're at home alone, she's a micromanaging harpy. But when trapped in a confined area with a bunch of strangers, she decides NOW is the appropriate time to start letting her kids run wild. It seemed incredibly inconsiderate and rude to the other people on the plane (and even more so when she shrugged it off as "well, most of the plane was in our group" and ignored all the others as being beneath her consideration and respect). When you intentionally choose to take take 8 children on a cross-country flight, you bear the full responsibility for the outcome.

Posted: 3/18/08 at 12:55amI really can't get enough of those kids! They're too cute for words. I loved how Kate went all out for Valentine's day!
#68Jon and Kate Plus 8
Posted: 3/18/08 at 11:33amI love watching this show. I've got four weeks left of school before I become a daycare teacher, so it's interesting watching their family, because they are pretty much a ratio for a daycare room. I loved it last night when one of the boys thought the pond was a swimming pool.

Posted: 3/18/08 at 11:44amI work at the American Girl store and remember hearing about the day Jon and Kate took the twins to spend a day there...I wasn't working that day but I heard the family was very nice and they had a great time in the store. Such a cool family!

Did anyone just watch the last episode, I think it was a repeat?
I have to say I gain more respect for these parents with each episode. Maddy is quite a handful..
Those kids are just so cute.

Posted: 3/24/08 at 10:03pmBoth of those were new episodes. Loved them. Loved watching Leah by herself in that bounce house. So cute.

Am I the only horrible human being who thinks Joel might be a little light in the loafers when he grows up?
That place that Jon took Joel was really cute, too! He was adorable when he was giving the farmers the corn, lol.
