I dreamed that I was looking through pictures and there was one of me and Leah from Jon and Kate plus 8. Apparently they had been over to my parents' house while I was there. In the picture I was reading Leah a book.
This very obviously stemmed from the discussion at dinner. I get defensive about this family. I think because I think they are pretty real in the show. And people just have no problem judging them. And saying what they should be doing. Or they hate Mady. That one really kills me. She's just a little kid, who in all honesty might have some emotional issues or disorder or something. She is very sensitive, and sometime struggles to communicate exactly why she is upset about things. I don't know, I guess just because her parents don't seem to like "set her off," and they are supportive, to me just makes it seem like, she was just born with a different capacity for emotions. As far as the parents go, yeah, Kate has gotten a little irksome in recent episodes. I have always liked Jon. It is sad that the family seems to BE this show though. That has got to be hard to not be able to get away from. Maybe when the kids are in real school they'll take a step back for a while. Reading Kate's book, it really was a huge blessing to have the show. They had like NO money before. And baby stuff is SO expensive. I would know. I spend way too much time looking at baby products online. By the time I have a kid, I better have money set aside- I want too much. Parenting is just easier when your kid has certain things.
