I am not enamoured by her in any way, if the shows passes by my radar I will watch it out of curiosity, at least once, at least for 5 mins, but that all depends on the content, like you say, will it be real or just spin.Rowehttp://societemaroe.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644653415735566780.post-27571398964689825622009-06-01T08:54:31.068+10:002009-06-01T08:54:31.068+10:00I don't understand how she can be a good mothe...I don't understand how she can be a good mother to 14 children full stop. There is simply not enough time in the day to give any of them the quality time and attention they deserve, as well as keep the household running efficiently. Surely television cameras in your face could only interfere with any hope you had of doing it successfully. <br /><br />There is no way she has the welfare of any of her children in mind by agreeing to do this. The current controversy surrounding that other US reality show, 'John & Kate + 8' has raised all sorts of questions about children appearing on televsion and the fact that maybe new laws need to be introduced to govern this rapidly growing phenomenon. Child actors can only be on set for something like a maximum of six hours per day, two days per week. Having a camera shoved in your face in a 'reality' setting can be no less taxing than having to learn lines and put on a performance, and I definitely think similar guidelines need to be put in place for reality tv children. These children didn't choose this life or to have their childhood broadcast across the globe for the whole world to see. While it disgusts me that she may make money from using them in this manner, I do think at the very least a percentage of their earnings should be set aside in trust for them as there is no doubt they won't see a single cent of it when they might really need it otherwise.Barb Fisher - Hopscotchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704380029044781507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644653415735566780.post-37215650280239802062009-06-01T05:06:01.033+10:002009-06-01T05:06:01.033+10:00The whole situation disgusts me and I won't tune i...The whole situation disgusts me and I won't tune in for a second.

And she'll need all the money she can get raising those kids on her own.<br /><br />My friend has a premmie little boy and she's told me so many stories about constant medical checks and being hyper vigilant about things that she takes for granted in her other children. This little boy is sick all the time and it's so hard.<br />My heart goes out to you guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644653415735566780.post-16193182325974827142009-05-31T12:23:46.838+10:002009-05-31T12:23:46.838+10:00ugh. you get shouty all you like.
