I personal love the show mostly because the kids are too cute.
I don’t think that she is exploiting them but I think that as amazing as the show is it is going to have to stop soon.
I LOVE Jon and Kate plus eight. I don’t think I would get along with Kate in the real world, but I admire everything she does with her children. What an inspiration when it comes to routines and being organised. I get great ideas from the show.
As for exploitation – no, I don’t think she is. I think she is doing the best she can. I think she could be a little nicer to Jon, but we don’t get to see what happens when the cameras are off.
I take my hat off to her.
I LOVE Jon & Kate plus 8!!! I don’t think she is exploiting them, it wasn’t like she asked for a show, people wanted to know what her life was like, raising 8 children, I think the show is absolutely adorable!
I love watching that show. I think she can be a little crazy sometimes, but no I don’t think that she is exploiting them.
I can’t believe how big that new house is. They must me making a ton of money from the show if Jon is only doing IT work.
Personally I hate the way Kate is always correcting him. I honestly feel she doesn’t appreciate him at all.
Also I used to love the kids, but as they are getting older I see them getting quite bratty. It used to be only Maddy that I couldn’t stand, but lately there are a few others that really get under my skin.
I don’t tend to watch it as much as I used to. It got old.
i like the show,. it gives me ideas. like i have taught my son to kiss and hug to make up after he comes out of time out.
i do not feel like she is exploiting. i think she is a mother that is doing what she feels she needs to to get all the great things for her kids.
i do however wish they would give more credit to all the people who help them out.
OMG best show ever!
i love those children, but Kate bugs me. She contradicts herself a lot, and she seems to be trying to prove to america that she is a good mother. And that they are a normal family. But hello! they are not. And she might be exploiting them somewhat…. but with the money they get from the show and the other things they do, she can stay home all day with them, and send the twins to catholic school, and take them on their “special days.” But i do love Jon. He’s seems so chill. I love it!
it’s the duggars that are a problem. now THAT is exploiting
I love the show, yeah kate comes off strong but that’s just who she is. No I don’t think she’s exploiting her kids, I’m sure they all love the fact that they have DVD’s of themselves especially since they can’t always video tape themselves.
I love that show. She is amazing to be able to raise 8 children, I personally would hire 7 nannies
.. Anyways no I dont think she is exploiting her children. I love that show!
I used to enjoy watching them. Now that they moved into a million dollar house and acting like they are still an average middle class family I refuse to watch it. Have you ever noticed they have never showed the front of the house or even their huge pool? They still want people to think they are an average family and don’t want people to know the truth because they dont want to lose ratings. And Kate is such a fake i can’t stand watching her anymore. I feel for Jon. You can check out the house here:

i think that its a good show and that people worry about what others do with their children waaaayyy too much. there are tons of kids that are in commercials and movies and shows and no one thinks that’s bad. these are innocent kids. i dont see how having her kids on a show is bad. she’s not trying to embarrass them. it’s just a cute show. there’s tons of other show’s that feature childrens lives like little people big world and 18 kids and counting and bringing home baby. if her kids arnt being abused or harmed, what is it our business to care what she does with them? it’s also a good learning tool for other parents. she helps talk about eating on a budget and such. i dont see why people bother themselves with useless debates about other peoples lives. no parent is perfect and i doubt anyone would want other people talking about the way they chose to raise their children. if you dont like the show then dont watch it and stop talking about it. your only making it more popular when you do that so if you dont want it to be popular than leave it alone. i like the show and i find it useful because she has great ideas on how to teach your kids to get potty trained or do different activities like painting with pudding.
i do like watching it.
i do think kate needs to take a MAJOR chill pill. ii feel sorry for jon half the time the kids too. it doesn’t really seem like she lets them do much of anything. and it seems she has an extreme phobia of germs. and i thought i was a germophobe until i watch an episode.
i am really surprised that they decided to get 2 dogs. (tuesday nights episode) just by the way they are.
kate definitely seems to be a control freak.
i think anyone that puts their child on t.v. or has a reality show is definitly exploiting their children.
I used to like it. Not as much anymore. Personally, I don’t think they’re exploiting their children, and Kate strikes me as a mom who is a bit too young and inexperienced and too used to having things her way. She’s grown so much in the years since she only had the twins, and I think if she’d had them further apart and not just dropped like a bomb on her she would be able to handle things better. She just strikes me like the moms I used to babysit for who were in their 20′s and their kids were 5 and 2. Once they had the third child and their oldest ones were 7 or so… they started loosening up a lot more.
I think people are hypercritical of the family. If the older ones don’t want to be filmed one day, then everyone watching gets upset that the twins didn’t get airtime. They get some puppies (which I remember Jon talking about wanting some years back and Kate saying she hated dogs years back) and everyone flips out saying they only got them to keep the cute factor (note, Jon always wanted a large dog, he said so in earlier seasons. Kate said no… he got his way. That says something right there.)
So often people see Jon as the laid back guy, and her as the rabid in your face get things done mom. Having studied behavior, I see her as a nervous secondary leader who’s constantly pushing to try and make sure things get done, and him as the one in charge. She’s constantly asking him to do things, and he says no and she doesn’t take over or make him. She’ll nag, but she won’t force. For all her flighty behavior, he exudes calm to help relax her more.
She’s so scared of people judging them, and seeing their house and judging it, she never acts naturally. Him? He’s also never acting naturally, instead trying to help her relax by giving off constant calming signals. They’re a very fun couple to watch from a behaviorist’s standpoint.
I actually find the kids less interesting and entertaining and tend to watch the adults more and laugh at them. But honestly, the show has done wonders for Kate that I’ve seen, and she’s giving up so much of her control that she used to have that it’s great to see her loosening up.
Add: You know… just to point it out because someone pointed out that they haven’t shown the new pool yet…
Didn’t they get the house in the winter or fall? They made a big deal about the kids learning to swim, and saying that they would have to get them more opportunities for swimming in the future, or look for a house with a pool. I really don’t think they’re going to not show the pool.
I love watching Jon and Kate plus 8…I just wish the episodes were an hour long instead of just a half hour!
I don’t feel she is exploiting her kids, I think it’s a great way for the public to see how their family functions. I would think that if they didn’t have the show that people would still be constantly trying to figure out about them. It’s not like the cameras are rolling 24/7 and 365 days of the year.
Kate annoys me sometimes, but she’s just being a mom and I think I would loose my cool too if I had so many kids depending on me. I think she just needs a vacation away from the kids!
I do feel bad for Mady and Cara, I find they don’t get as much credit as “the sextuplets” and I’m finding in the newer episodes that they are less and less in the picture
