[QUOTE="Shari, post: 277098, member: 1848"] I was never a follower of the show, but I did occassionally catch it, and I only chime in because the one thing that I *did* enjoy about the show early on (and we're talking 2 or 3 years ago and maybe a whopping sum of 8 or 10 shows watched, total) was that Jon seemed *real* then. He didn't love being a parent of 8 kids, he didn't love taking them all to the zoo and chasing them all day, he got frustrated at the every day things that frustrate me, as a parent, and he just seemed real. She did, too, except she seemed to like the cameras a little much, and sent him on to do what I perceived then as the parenting jobs while she talked to the camera. *** My take on it from 2-3 years ago. *** Because of this thread, I watched the show last night. Who knows what's going on now. One thing I did think about tho, was the morning she took the kids shopping for birthday decorations. She was exhausted before they even really finished breakfast, and all I could think was "that's him, all the time". *** Yes, they chose this. He also said he didn't think it all through enough. For that, I feel for them. These decisions were made in the past, tho. Now, its time to buck up and move forward. [/QUOTE]
