Jon - Kate + Eight = Broken Family

Oh! My favorite! I love reading the news and feeling enriched while indulging in my guilty pleasure of reading about ‘celebrities’. I personally have always smelled the demise of the Gosselin family since the tots were about three. Jon and Kate always seemed to…act. They bitched and moaned to each other, and not in the loving old married couple kind of way. They were NASTY. Kate always yelled at Jon like she was the master, and he was the slave, and not in the sexy kind of way. She was downright degrading, at times! But, Jon isn’t innocent either! He was always the blubbering passive aggressive kind of guy. His anger boiling in some deep part of his core, while waiting to throw the contents over the fortified plaster walls on some attacker. The media got to them, according to what I read . However, I’m pretty sure the stress of raising multiples [in front of the world] is another reason. Raising eight kids, six of them being the same age [5 years old] seems like a Herculean feat to me. I mean the Duggers have 18, but they rang in ages. The media attacks don’t seem like fun either, though. Within the recent months, tabloids have been cranking out gossip, and [tall?] tales about ‘who said this’ and ‘who did what’. Kate’s own brother has also hopped on the ‘I Hate Kate’ train parade. From what I’ve read, Kate has surprisingly had nothing to say about her bother other than the fact that she’s disappointed.



Oh and speaking of raising multiples, the writer of the article I’m basing my blog on, wrote about how she feels media infiltration of your family life is the worst thing. You know what? I agree! Imagine cameras following you around allllllll day, taping how you and your spouse interact, how you handle your kids, how you relate to the world. And then, after filming for 8 hours [a day; which they need to do in order to produce a 30 minute segment], your day get spliced up and patched back together to portray whatever the T.V. stations deems to be the juiciest storyline. Things get taken out of context, stares are cued in at a certain point to illicit a reaction from the crowd, events get cut, and BAM there’s a day you don’t even remember having. Jon and Kate + 8 kids… feasible, I think, after much hard work and dedication. Jon and Kate + 8 kids + Cameras + Paparazzi + World Speculation….impossible to come out alive.
