He said a long time ago that he really didn't want to do the show anymore but he was overruled. Jon's never really shown much emotion so I think his attitude now is coming across as him not caring. I want to think that he does care but is only doing what Kate insists BUT really, some of the things he's done recently don't point in that direction. I've seen both of them raise their hands to the kids and the kid flinch in response. What does that say? And yes, she has quite a few helpers but wants everyone to think she does it all herself. Her brother and SIL said that she called it quits a while back and yes, I think he was doing what she told him he could do and she is now acting like that "agreement" never happened. |
Yeah I think both of them could use some parenting lessons - I really do think they could use Supernanny's help. Anyone would get overwhelmed with 8 kids! I want to know why the 5 year olds still wear bibs and drink from sippy cups, but I don't have kids so that might be normal?
And yeah, he should have stood up for himself back then. Maybe he did? They were young and he was definitely immature and not ready for a huge family. People have said he was happy with just the twins. Their marriage may have been in trouble for a long time but they had 6 babies to care for and didn't have time for themselves. Now that the kids are into a routine and they have help, they probably realized they really don't like each other. It's so sad.
