Reality show TV this family.... the Gosselins.
I wonder if many of you actually watch this reality show, but it is really nice. Ok basically this couple who had twins wanted to have another child and thus they went for an op to have another baby. But they ended up with 6 more.
Its not easy to have so many kids and teaching and grooming them as they grow up, getting them to listen together, its harder than climbing mount everest in a day. (haha) But in the show, Kate(wife) did a real good job. I couldnt help but thought to myself that this woman is a real deal. And she is defintely a very good mother to get all her kids to listen to her and not get into a fit for the slightest reasons like many other children does. In other words i look up to her and for a moment she was the best mother i thought might never exist.
After catching a single episode, i got hooked to this reality show because i wanted to learn from her and her kids are all adorable and sweet. Good mannered as well! So i couldnt stop watching. Until i watch the season that she and Jon(husband) were filing for a separation. It all happened so fast... but i was determined to believe that it wasnt easy to have so many kids for a couple to pay attention to. Hence the separation to get more air and space between them. When kids are your priorities, you tend to forget the mutual emotional support and attention for each other as husband and wife. It was a pity, but no choice. All of the fans were sad because of this separation and after 5 years of watching the kids grow up and to face their parent;s divorce only at 5 years of age is not going to be easy.
Then Kate's brother came out and talked all about this reality show. Also reports from the Acedemy of children psychiatry has complaint about the couple in regards to this reality show. Apparently, 8 kids was never easy to begin with hence taking part in this reality show would defintely be able to provide for the family, and bringing all 8 kids to college.
The beggining of the show when the couple was approached, everything was already planned out and paid for. The production had already spoken to the couple and would see to their needs in regards to anything. Hence, all the trips and stuffs were being budget and paid for. The couple with 8 kids could even then afford to each quit their jobs and stay home with the children, do their hair at a salon, go for trips, play golf..etc. Infact the idea of a reality show is to show and teach other couples with sextuplets on how to prioritise their finances and time to their kids as to be good parents. However, this is too fairytale. The Academy actually mentioned in regards to the wrongs of this reality show as it seems the young children are the ones "working" to provide for the family. They had to trade their childhood to be shown to the world on tv to trade for whatever they have now.
As parents, the should be protecting their children and not exploiting them.
There were reports of producers staging the episodes so it may seem the family was having a great time. Many of the so called "traditions in the family" mentioned by kate in lots of episodes were actually fake. They tried to make the whole scene as beautiful and perfect as possible. There was even a scene by an insider stating that Mum was almost getting into a fit by one of the episodes saying " what, you mean now i have to enjoy playing with my kids?"
I mean, what kind of a perfect mummy would say that? im not sure cos even my mum doesnt say that. She just didnt play with me thats all. And another source added there were incidents of mummy punishing the kids by spanking them and they were screaming at the top of their lungs but due to perfect mum on reality tv, all these were not shown on it. So i was thinking just how real is this real-ity tv show? hm......
All the allegations, all kids are mischievious to some point in their lives. However, watching the realiy show, i didnt even think about how did she manage to keep her young children so well mannered and well behaved? so as the saying goes "spare the rod and spoil the child" huh? hahah how ironic.
As for dad, hm.. what can i say about him? loser? Well apparently evidence had shown that infact the couple had already been separated 2 years ago thus the divorce that is coming around the corner would be over faster. So it meant during the previos seasons that they have been looking so lovey dovey were all a show for this so called reality tv? aiyo..... what is this???
Overall, reports were claiming that this is actually mummy's fault because mummy likes to have wealth and fame and is hoping to be able to host a talkshow of her own. so...money grubber... i have nothing to say.
After seeing all those reports and the couple had admitted on the facts, i honestly am very disappointed.. i dont think i will ever watch it again.
Ash, hope you are reading this........ sad sad
