Jon & Kate Plus 8

I'm a single parent with one daughter. My daughter is 11 and she and I really enjoy watching Jon & Kate plus 8. It's a great show and Jon and Kate do a great job. I could not imagine having that many kids but if I did I would do the same by taking care of them. My mother had 8 but not at the same time. The only comment I'd like to make because I am divorced and raising my daughter alone. I think it's great that Jon and Kate get away and have dinners alone from time to time. The only thing I notice and my daughter often comments on, is the fact that Kate is so bossy. On several shows I notice how she speaks to Jon as if he was one of the children. I was watching one episode were Madeline commented that her mom bosses her dad around and she's the queen bee. That's the only thing that really bother me. But, it's nothing against the show I just had to express that.

Sincerely, faithful viewer

I was wondering why Jon and Kate's parents aren't involved in the show or even mentioned. Are they in their lives? They talk about other people all the time and how much they mean to them and how much they love their kids but the grandparents are never talked about. Do they live close by, have they had a falling out? We have watched the show for years and love it. The kids are so well behaved and it seems to be such a team effort by Jon and Kate and some aunts, uncles and friends but no grandparents. Are there any plans to put a time frame on how long they will continue to film their lives? Are Mady and Care getting tired of it? What will they do when it's time for the sextuplets to go off to school?

I've read through the previous comments & I think its wrong for those of you to bash Jon & Kate.One of the comments said they thought Kate is a B......,if your a woman you know at some point you have been one too.Raising 8 children I'm sure can be very frustrating at times & Kate doesn't hold back just because shes on TV,like some might.I also disagree with the person who thinks they're EXPLOITING their children.If I had 8 kids & had the chance to do a reality series not only to show others what its like to raise that many kids but I'm sure it also helps to have the extra money it brings in so they can buy a lot more things for the children & a bigger home for them.I see nothing wrong with that.All this news about Jons supposed infidelity is also no ones business to judge.We have no idea about whats actually going on & its a private matter that should be between Jon & Kate-who are we to judge them.Its not like any of us know them personally & that would be the only way we could form a rational opinion.Since none of us do know them,its all speculation. I love the show & hope it continues,its one of the few reality shows that is real & not scripted to make them look perfect-because NONE of us are!!!

I love this show. I'm an step dad to 3 kids and I must say that this show is about as real as reality gets. In my opinion the children all seem to be very bright. They all have separate identities, which is great. Too many times I have seen parents of multiples go to the extremes in naming kids variations of the same name and dressing them the same. Its very refreshing to see kids being kids and parents allowing it. As far as Jon I understand his plight he is a husband and husbands must know how to pick their fights. Men who come here and have negative comments about Jon obviously have never been married. It takes a very secure and confident man to do what Jon is doing and not being bothered by what his wife does. In my opinion Kate is no different from any other wife, most women have some type OCD and is insecure

I love, love, love this show!!! I've been a fan of this website for years now and have been waiting for Jon & Kate plus 8 to arrive on it and now it has. This is an awfully interesting family. The couple (Jon and Kate) have 8 children. A set of 6 year old twin girls age 6 (Mady and Cara) and a set of 3 year old sextuplets (Aiden, Collin, Joel, Alexis, Hannah and Leah). Kate is a beautiful woman with excellent organizational skills and she's a fantastic Mom. Jon is more laid back, but works hard for the children and is a great Dad as well. The kids are so cute and I've been watching the show so long I can name them pretty much just by looking at them once. Even tho they are sextuplets, they don't look exactly alike. The twins, though, are identical I believe. All in all great show. Can't wait to see the next episode.
