The Gosselins don't exude any warmth-it's a business.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, I sorta feel bad for Jon, but hey, he married her!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718001074320164888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320744.post-86559051667524887712008-11-19T19:48:00.000-05:002008-11-19T19:48:00.000-05:00Glad to know there is another show with more "real...Glad to know there is another show with more "real" parents. That Kate chick gets under my skin. I wish she would treat her husband with more respect.

I don't dislike them, but I never felt very connected to them. I've heard others say they like them vs. intentionally large families because J&K never wanted so many kids, but I figure they knew the potential when they got fertility treatments and now are kind of whiny about it.<BR/><BR/>I liked when I saw a different show about an intentionally huge family (it was NOT the Duggars, who are interesting in an entirely different way...), where the parents seemed genuinely happy to have had so many kids. Jon & Kate seem in such a need to control, whereas these other parents were very laid-back and genuine. Maybe that's why they're no longer on TV! :)<BR/><BR/>They showed them eating out (an infrequent indulgence, since they were living on one income), and the parents just let the kids play with their food and make a big mess but be happy, and everything was fine. I did feel bad for the waiters, but oh, well! I'm not having a gazillion kids (knock on wood), but I wanted to take their relaxed, contented attitude home with me.<BR/><BR/>I'll have to check out the Hayes family!Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.com
