  • I remember when YM spent his last month at the hospital, his favorite show became Jon Kate plus 8.  He described it as a family who's just sharing their everyday lives as they face the difficult task of raising 8 kids.  I remember we both had a tender spot for one of the young boys "Joel" b/c he was always getting into trouble.  He reminded us so much of our little Joel when he was a toddler.  Anyway, it's very disheartening that their troubled lives are slammed all over the media.  I admit, I rarely watch the show.  The last time I actually saw a full episode was 9 months ago.  I'm sure this family didn't fully know what they were getting themselves into when they signed up to do the show.  I may not know all the details that's being talked about, but it doesn't change the fact that they're just merely sinners like you & me.  It's just magnified b/c it's splattered all over the media.  I know they're not innocent or anything, but I just feel really bad for them.  And I feel bad for their kids b/c they're gonna grow up and read about all this one day.  We all learned at some point in our lives that our parents are not perfect.  But these kids are gonna have a harder time getting past all the hurtful & horrible things people are saying about their parents.  Ugh, the whole thing just kind of saddens me.
