Yep, agree with Lizzy and Lynette!!!

My 5 yo LOVES this show. LOVES IT. I feel slightly uncomfortable watching it. It is what it is, though.

The product placement can be so cheesy sometimes. Did y'all notice Jon randomnly looking at insurance info online in one of last nights' episodes before leaving to go somewhere? Or I think it was last night. And Kate picking out outfits (for FREE I'm sure) from Gymboree and whining that they had to do an out-of-studio interview with Oprah. *sigh* that's just so hard, I can't even imagine. *roll eyes*

Yeah, they are getting what they signed up for. They basically turned their family into a giant advertising vehicle. I'm sure they do really enjoy some of the perks (HUGE house, lots of vacations, financial security for their family) but of course there will be some sucky downsides. But I do not feel sorry for Jon & Kate in the least!!!

I think the kids will probably need therapy later... hope they have a therapy fund. But I think, in the end, they will be OK because they have each other, their siblings, to rely on. And I think they will be old hat after awhile, the family, if Jon & Kate have any sense at all to stop doing this as their kids get older.

But I am tired of the Maddy bashing. That makes me sad... my oldest has a very similar personality, very impetuous and high-strung... and she's not even on a TV show!
