Amen about Mady!  I could go on all day about that girl but I don't want to sound too mean.    I have kids and they would have never been allowed to act the way that kid does. 
And no, they don't show any family or friends anymore because they have run them all off.   It's been said that the reason Kate's parents aren't involved is because they "don't have the same ideals" but I've heard that they accused Kate of exploiting the kids and now she doesn't let them be a part of her family.    Just like she ran her sister-in-law and her "best friend" off.   Her friend co-wrote her first book and now has been kicked to the curb.  And her SIL ticked her off a time too many (remember the gum episode?) and has now been kicked to the curb too.   
But still, it's like watching a train wreck, isn't it??   You know you shouldn't watch but you just can't help it!
