Anyone watch twins, twins and sextuplets?

[Robyne]

It was on after Jon and Kate plus eight last night. This family has 2 sets of twins and sextuplets....and one of the six has cerebral palsey.
It was a good episode!

My mother told me about that show, and I caught a few minutes of it. I was laughing when they were serving dinner and the one son was asking for a straw. The Dad was sort of muttering "What? Oh, a straw? I'll get you a straw." Dh said "I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't understand them sometimes." I'm surprised the kids are so old and they just now have a show! They must not market themselves as well as the Gosselins!

I was surprised too about the six already being 4 years old. I wonder if this show will take off like Jon and Kate did. Now Jon and Kate get everything for free.....maybe this family will get somthing now too???

I did watch some of it, but for some reason did not find it all that interesting. I turned it off after 5 of the sextuplets got time out for whom ever wrote with a sharpie on the kitchen counter and she said to the daughter with CP about how she was lucky because she always got off "scott free" with everything. Considering her circumstances I hardly see it that way. She probably did not mean it like I took it, but still found it to be a very stupid thing to say.

I had similar feelings when the mom said something like "she doesn't yell at me, so I kind of like her." (about the same daughter) I doubt I'll keep watching. I didn't care for it too much.

I know a lot of people criticize Jon & Kate. But, I love them and I think they are an amazing family. Not that this other family isn't amazing.....But, I wasn't drawn into the show.

Oh yeah, that was another line where I thought she made herself look like a dolt.
I too enjoy Jon and Kate and do not fully understand why people bash them so much. So what if they get stuff for free. Do we not all try to have our kids experience/learn as much as they can through life experiences? If that is the only way that they can do it, than good for them. Also there is so much jelousy out there, that it is no surprise that they have had "issues" with close friends and family.

I watched the first few minutes but did not find it compelling at all. Part of what makes Jon and Kate so fun is their imperfections and bickering LOL!

Yikes! That alone would make me NOT watch it! I think the MOM is the one that got off "scott free"--she's lucky to have all her kids alive!

Gee - I think you guys are being a bit judgemental. I watched the entire episode....and I really don't think the mom meant any harm in what she said. Of course she feels awful that her daughter has cerebral palsy. They said alot of special things about their daughter and they are a very loving and caring family. The way the kids take care of their sister shows that they have been raised very well. She was just talking about how everyone else got punished for something only one of them did.....and the comment she made was just to say that the CP daughter is lucky not to get punished. And when she said that that daughter never yells back at her....she was saying that even though she has a severe disability.....she is actually a joy to take care of (because alot of people would think that she it must be so difficult to care for her with so many other kids).

Like I said, she probably did not mean those comments like I took them but there was something that I did not like about the show so those things really stood out for me.
