Welcome All!

I run my life
Or is it running me
Run from my past
I run too fast
Or too slow it seems
When lies become the truth
That’s when I run to you.....

Reality TV- Are we seeing the whole picture?

So all kinds of fuss in the news about "America's Favorite Family," Jon & Kate + 8. I have been an avid watcher since the first little 1 hr. special came about. Things I like about the show:

1. The cutest kids on tv! Of course everyone has their favorites, but I like them all. Aaden and his cute lil "gasses." Leah and her lil bossy self. Joel being his "daddy's son." Hannah's pretty hair (which I would suggest being cut a little to reduce headaches) Collin's helpfulness. Alexis' cute sayings, "Hers mean and hims nice" lol. Mady's eccentric ways, that girl is expressive as they come. Cara's loving nurturing kindness toward her siblings.
2. Their routineness... word? I like that the follow a loose schedule. Being a stay at home mom, Kate is very lucky!
3. I will admit that I have a lot of Kate-like tendencies. Clean Freak. Organized. I often shout in midst of stress at my boyfriend...lol He knows I love him. Also, my dramatic bursts because "I really do feel those things"

Recently I have been floored by accusations of both Jon and Kate cheating, running around, having an affair- whatever you wanna call it. There have been reports of Jon linking him to college students, and most recently video footageof him and 23 yr old woman leaving a bar at 2AM. Kate has been tagged for supposedly hooking up with the family bodyguard. Her own family members have came forward releasing statements and allegations that they are no longer the power couple we once saw. Her brother went as far as to say that they have a contract which also entails a decree saying Jon may date other woman and have girlfriends!

Bottom Line: Its none of our business of how this family works. The most important thing if the welfare of the kids. If that means cancelling the show, then so be it. As far as i am concerned all the media news is hearsay. We dont know what really goes on behind there door. We are merely getting a snapshot within a 30 minute show. Yes we see that Kate often says mean things to her husband, but havent we all said things that we shouldnt have? Family is supposed to be the strongest tie of all. Why is her own brother releasing statements about the family! If he needed to say something he should go quietly and privately to authorities- which does not include the media. Family shoudld stick together in hard times not divide and point fingers! I say the media should stop pointing fingers and judging these people. I believe the saying goes, Before you point fingers at someone else, make sure your own hands are clean. Furthermore, I would like to wish this family nothing but the best. The harsh words of the media have already been spoken, the kids have seen more than they should, but the love that they have in their hearts can heal the wounds and make them see how fortunate they are to have been blessed with beautiful children.
