Does anyone else feel like it would be better for the kids if TLC declined to continue Jon & Kate +8?

Question

I just think these poor kids need a break. They film nearly every day.

Answer 1

the kids dont do any work. but i really want to see how all those kids act when they are all teenagers haha i feel bad for jon and kate already lol

Answer 2

If you watch the show Kate always says they do not film every day.  They keep the crew updated on what they are doing and allow them to film big events.  The crew is not allowed in some rooms... they make sure that the kids have lots of time without the crew.  It's also clear that the kids enjoy the people and learning about how different things work.

As a regular viewer I think the family does a great job.  People who have not raised 8 children (6 of them all being the same age) have no reason to be talking about this amazing family!  

EDIT: I didn't say they were catching candid moments (and do not insult people you don't know by calling them a fool).  I said that they only come on some days...

There are rooms that are off limits, I did not say the kids rooms were off limits.  They have, however, made it so that the 2 older girls rooms are off limits.  The crew also respects when the kids don't want to be filmed for whatever reason.

Once again, have you raised 8 children?  I know I haven't!  So I say they are raising some great children and I wish them all the luck in the world!!!

Answer 3

Well to be honest, I don't think the kids think of it as work - they just think of it as being themselves on tape. Their parents are not forcing anything on them - they don't feel pressure - they are 3 years old.
