I have no need to watch someone's personal struggles take place in a public venue. Jon and Kate have both made mistakes, but it looks like Kate is being the bigger fool now. I hope she enjoys the money, because that may be all she ends up with in a few years. Having said all that, it's obvious that the show's given you and Maggie some opportunities to talk about relationship issues. If other people have taken similar lessons from it, maybe it's done some good. Still, the cost to this family has been too high - there had to have been a better way to teach the same lessons.Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212038923735410573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216356275611633188.post-30344393507468169752009-05-19T20:19:52.466-04:002009-05-19T20:19:52.466-04:00A good perspective.

I've seen the show and I'm impressed how well you have grabbed the relationship issues.<br /><br />I agree - they need to cease this show and focus on being a private family. I have found this show rather disturbing at times. We no longer watch - not because we don't want to - but because our basic cable does not carry the station that it is on.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440657052901467269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216356275611633188.post-29590917418713766952009-05-18T19:44:00.000-04:002009-05-18T19:44:00.000-04:00if she wants to continue the show, it shows where ...if she wants to continue the show, it shows where her priorities lie. very very sad, especially for the kids.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485061910044084617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216356275611633188.post-9177670645585710382009-05-18T17:59:00.000-04:002009-05-18T17:59:00.000-04:00I have not watched the show, nor will I.

Their actions are shaped by the thoughts of their actions being viewed and judged by others. Day after day of this will significantly change people. Minor issues can become magnified before the camera.<br /><br />It sounds like the mother loves the light of the camera and being the center of attention. The husband wants to get back to living the life of the past, living and making decisions without concerns about the cameras. <br /><br />The show will die quickly if people stop watching it. Unfortunately, if the marriage is falling, the ratings will remain strong as people tune in to watch it happen....it is the same base dynamic that drew crowds to hangings.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802475785134086208noreply@blogger.com
