[QUOTE="Star*, post: 277159, member: 4964"] I think originally they thought - TV! This will be a GREAT way to accumulate and solicitate funds to help raise this family. Then someone said "Hey what about a reality show?" and we'll pay you (pushes contract in front of pregnancy weary Mom and overloaded dad) and their eyes went -OMG do you KNOW what we could do with that? SO they did. And like anything else - for a while it's fun. Then the P people invade their lives which they will do (DUH YOU ARE ON TV ALL THE TIME) and you start snapping at each other. WHO wouldn't? Eight kids and now everyone following you around making a show out of every little thing you do - and you forgot you signed or maybe NOW you remember why you signed a contract or better yet why tv execs had you sign a contract. You're kids are older -people aren't viewing your day to day life as much as they were at first and so you write a book. The book is a great idea -until you really realized WHAT is involved in touring. But then again - maybe it's what you need as a woman raising 8 kids - a VACATION---Lord I sure would. And I'd run SCREAMING to the door. So to keep this lifestyle you agreed in the first place, then got comfy and now you want the comfy without the buttons and P people and your show is slipping in ratings - so you write a book and its' NOT really doing what everyone told you it would - so HOW do you get your life back? I'm sure there is a clause in their contract that says if they don't do X .....X can happen. Problem is we don't know what the X in either case is. It looks like the brother and sis-in-law are tearing them apart, and it seems like there is a possible affair or a poor judgement moment - but what if it's as close as they could get to having what we all think is a "big rift" and they are all sitting back going - SEE....they all bought it - everyone checked in to see if the man and woman with 8 kids are falling apart. Because fewer people each week were checking in to see how the boring man and woman with 8 kids were doing mundane, daily chores. It's either a publicity stunt to raise raitings OR it's a red herring so they can end the dog and pony show, and get out of this contract and find a way to a normal life. I hope it's the latter...and that they are fine, and just tired of being under a microscope. X8 [/QUOTE]
