    Jon and Kate+8

    I apologize if everyone has discussed this show already. Just wondering if anyone watches and what they think? I enjoy catching it when I can.

    We don't have Discovery Health on our Dish Network tier, but we did have a preview awhile back and I watched every episode I could!!! I'm completely fascinated with the dynamics of their family! And I'm always so amazed how cool, calm and collected Kate seems! She has a great sense of humor!

    I watched a few episodes. I am also amazed. I do think Kate is a clean freak! I couldn't believe that she hand scrubbed her floor after every single meal. I kind of feel a little sorry for John. Kate is so domineering and he seems to get attacked a lot. I guess it's good that he has such a calm personality.

    We don't have Discovery Health either, but I catch it sometimes on the regular Discovery channel (or TLC). I love how honest the parents are. They don't sugar coat it....some days are good, and some aren't!

    Also, while I realize that their tone with each other isn't very nice (but come on....are we always nice to our spouse???), it does get the job done!

    I love that show!! I think Kate is a "Superwomen" and definitely a bit OCD for sure!!! There is no way I would worry about my house being that clean with all those kids. But, she is sooo organized! When I watch the show it gives me inspiration...."okay, I can do this...I am only going to have twins and a toddler"!!!!!

    I love how they get out and do things regardless of the challenge.

    Like the episode where they take all of the kids to Toys R Us for Christmas shopping for eachother!!! Much braver than I, but it proved to viewers that even though though they are parents of HOM, they still want to live life like others.

    I love that show! My mom and I have watched every episode. I love how her and her husband bicker back and forth, sounds like my husband and I. If she can do 8 kids, I can do 4. I wish I could be as organized as she is. Fun show!

    Great show! I know they said she had PCOS but did they ever say what drug she was given or if she was monitored during the cycle? Kate and Jon are polar opposites but they love the children so that is great to see. I also love Little People/Big World. Its just nice to see families facing challenges and still trying to live a fairly normal life. Do you suppose they get paid for their participation? I hope so...

    Take care,

    Makes DH and I appreciate how close we are even though we sometimes sound like they do. Multiples really do change a relationship. We rarely even get to watch it.

    Kerri,

    I gotta say that I feel a bit sorry for Jon. However, he does take the easy road sometimes......it's easy to worry less when you are married to a pro worryer. I wonder how he would act if she did less of the organizing/worrying.

    Andi
