Unpredictable Parenthood

2 / 10

Kids can be unpredictable and that's just part of parenthood. Watching the Gosselins on television is entertaining, but it also reassures mama viewers that they can get through whatever their tot is going through.

Personally i love this show,the kids are so cute and for her having 8 children when they go out they are very well behaved.(I watched Table for 12 and their children are horrible when they went out).As for free things,when she got the tummy tuck done that was the dr's wife (who was watching the show),offered it too her(it was the first show they did)so that wasn't TLC. And i really hope they come back for another season,i will be bummed out if they don't.I mean how can anyone bash someone who can shop for a family of 10 on 600.00 a month,i spend almost that on a family of 5.......

I think the children need decipline to stop the screaming. I dont understand why you allow it. I also think Maddy needs counseling. Her jealousy of the little ones really shows. Poor girl.

I still like the show from the episodes I've been able to catch. They do get a lot of free stuff but I still think that their family dynamics are interesting. As for the way they speak to each other... Sometimes it gets a little tense but some couples aren't as harmonious as others and at least they aren't censoring the fights but working through them. If they give it some more time and when the kids are a bit older it'll get better. I remember the early episodes were full of fights but these days it's decreased (from what I've seen of course). As for the kids, everyone has different parenting styles, I've never seen anything that is a cause for worry. The kids are pretty well behaved for what it is.

It started out a cute show but now the mom and dad just are we deserve this million dollar house. Weneed hair plugs tummy tucks it has gotten unbelievable what they expect. TLC should be ashamed of the way they have pampered these parents. I would never watch the show again. Shame on the Mom and Dad.

I've never watched the show. The only thing I know about this family is from what I've read here on Sugar. I guess that's why I don't get the fascination with them. :shrug:

I agree the more I see the less I like. It's not just enough to have the show. All the endeavors they do also almost borders on commercialism of themselves with the interviews and books. The promoting of things it's not keeping it normal.

I don't get it either and ever since I read that Jon goes to house parties and leaves Kate with all the kids I like them even less.

I don't get how this family thinks they are entitled to things, and I don't get either why companies actually sponsor them.Like you said, amers, the couple is obnoxious.Why anyone would watch this, still, is beyond me.

Kimpossible- I agree! I don't think there is anything to love about Jon and Kate. Yes the kids are adorable but the way the parents speak to each other, and sometimes to their kids, is disgusting. And in no way are they a normal family anymore - between all of the free vacations, product placements, and that huge house, I don't understand how people can "relate" to them at all.
