Jon and Kate, plus 8 and two more?

[Medusa]

I just heard that on the Philly news too. You know what's so strange here - none of this would have come to light and nobody would have said or done anything if the parents hadn't called attention to themselves. Now why, all of a sudden, are people starting to worry about the kids? Why wasn't anyone concerned before??? - they've been on t.v. for how many years now??? It's not like it was hidden or any big secret.
Just more bureaucratic b.s.!

Apparently the family got in the act, in-laws, I believe, saying that the kids were being damaged in some way. Really? Where were you all along? Trying to get your 15 minutes of fame, are ya?

I heard the funniest thing last night.

A talking head came out and made this statement.

"The kids don't/won't see a dime of the money."

Like what are you going to do? Give each of them 10 bucks for the ice cream man? Take them to a toy store and tell them to go nuts?

In a strange way, that woman has to be goofy obsessive about bringing up the kids. But, she has done it at the expense of her marriage. She tries to bend the world to fit her definition of where she wants her kids to grow up, but it's a false hope. She tries too hard to control every situation her kids get into and becomes the insufferable biatch when the world becomes unyielding. The kids are becoming individuals and there is the real test.

My mom had a wonderful saying that translated to something like this- "Your children will do the same for you."

---------------------------

At the moment the family has all of the Hunky Dory/Leave it to Beaver perks that the series, fame and money allow them to have. What happens when the money dries up? I would love to have a crystal ball to see 10 years into the future.

I agree Richard. I think it is going to be disastrous when the money ends and I do feel sorry for the kids but not for Kate.
