These people are the same as the “we both work for the childrens sake” crowd. Both parents work because they want a Mercedez, a bigger house, nice vacations. In the meantime, their kids are in pre-care even when they’re sick, all in the name of “living a better life”.

the parents of these children did not set out to expose their children to this — if you watch the first specials which then turned into the first season, it was all very innocent

there was no way they could have predicted the overwhelmingly positive response to their show which unfortunately has now sickeningly morphed into this fiasco — thanks to a dogged paparazzi and a liberal media who loves to bring families like this down

as for the conception of the sextuplets — good for the doctor who was the level-minded party — you can’t blame Kate *and Jon* for wanting to just proceed when you consider the emotional and financial toll the procedures take on a couple — considering that a result of sextuplets — even with so many eggs — is so rare — and they knew they would accept any and all babies conceived...
