I used to love Jon and Kate Plus 8. Those kids are precious and it was neat to see them grow up in front of our eyes. But, as everyone knows, the show ends today. I am sincerely hoping that those kids were not messed up for life due to one crazy and controlling mom (ya know what, if we had 8 kids, maybe we would be crazy and controlling too...I'm just saying...) and a dad who obviously got married and started a family BEFORE he grew up. Soon enough when those kids start accessing the Internet and caring about "what other kids think," (and for the older Cara and Maddie, they already do) they will be badly hurt by all this media spectacle. They will be hurt by the horrible picture painted by their parents in their attempt to secure a good life for those kids. I am willing to bet that Kate Gosselin would happily go back to that small house they first lived in, in order to erase what has happened to this family in the last year.
So a few key take-aways:
- Don't put your kids in front of a camera to ensure they have a good life - it really defeats the purpose
- Don't wash your dirty laundry in public
- Don't expect to reach fame and fortune without paying a price
- Don't forget that we live in the world of FOREVER - everything you do will be immortalized and you cannot escape it!
To the Gosselin kids - here's to hoping for a better year for you all! I will miss you:(
