Jon and Kate Plus 8 has become a show where two famous people, namely Jon and Kate Gosselin, give interviews, talk about themselves, not to mention, defend themselves. It has become a show-off between two divorcing couple/parents who are voicing out their side of the story. Last night's season finale was about self-justifications and explanations of why the other (mostly Jon) is not doing the "right thing" when it comes to parenting.
What struck me was the admittance of Jon that he was too young (22) when he got married: at 23, he had the twins; at 27, he had the sextuplets. That's pretty much a big responsibility for someone who was just growing up himself. I speak even for Kate. I can relate to both of them because I started having kids when I was 24 and the obligation and expectation that comes with it is enormous.
Jon and Kate Plus 8 has become so huge and people are watching. I'm wondering what's going to be the end of this reality. Of course we all know Kate has expressed that she is here to stay as she has found her "niche" in television. Kate has become a larger-than-life persona where she has made a gigantic following, mostly women. I know that whatever she says is the truth of her situation and I believe that she is doing the best that she could for her eight kids. And for that I say, "Amen!"
About TVmomma:
I created this blog a few years back when I used to watch television 14 hours a day. I was getting highly-opinionated with what I see on TV and I wanted to spare my husband from my rantings so I thought of blogging about them instead.
I have called TV as my amusement park -- right in my own home. But now, things have changed and my TV viewing has been limited. I still post on this blog but only when I felt so strongly about what I've seen, and when I have the time.
For reprint and for anything else, please leave a message on the comment area. Thank you.
