[...] Fortunately, as Mom101 pointed out recently, mom blogging is NOT the same as reality TV with real life moms, such as Wife Swap or new single mom Kate (plus her Eight!). [...]

I can't imagine they would be getting divorced. I think that having cameras around constantly would get very stressful, and likely he is just trying to get away from all of that! Janet’s last blog post..Just like me.

I hate gossip about people getting divorced. Now that I’m on the flip-side, it’s really vulgar to me. I have a colleague who is going through this now, and when my friends told me, there was almost glee in their eyes. I was just sad for her. I understand this is a little different because they chose to make their lives so public, but it still makes me sad.

Drama sells reality TV at every level. With out drama.. you would change the channel. Now there's a buzz about the show and ratings will climb. If they are divorcing.. it will add to their drama. Eathan’s last blog post..Spring Weather and Spring Dating

I don't think it's going to happen. My 8-yr-old loves this show, so I endure it every now and then. I only saw the last few minutes of last night's episode, and didn't know about the photo or anything. I think it's possible they won't be back for another season, but I don't see them splitting up the family. I do hope Kate stops nagging him as much as she does. I know what a deadbeat looks like. Jon is NOT a deadbeat and she needs to start appreciating what she has. The only thing that makes me crazier than deadbeats are wives who don't appreciate GOOD husband/fathers.

Wondermom: If you said what you meant, it definitely came out right! I’m fascinated (occupational hazard – no doubt) with a family raising their kids in a fish bowl. After having made that choice, I wonder if they have the alternative of retreating to a more private life?

Monica: I thought the same thing . . .is this just hype for Season 5? Now that the kids will all be in school and life at home won’t be quite so chaotic. We’ll see (if we care). Obviously, lots of people are as disinterested.

I've never watched the show and know nothing about it other than what you just wrote, but it seems to me that if the show is getting in the way of the marriage, the show needs to go, not the other way around. I can only imagine how stressful it must be having 8 children so young and I'm sure that the TV show is paying the family's bills right now. But living in a fishbowl like that is also stressful so maybe as a couple they need to take a look at their alternatives. Either way, I don't see how speculation and gossip can possibly help the situation. I think the best thing that "we" as the public can do is to have a little respect and give them some space to figure this out on their own. Did that come out right?

I think it’s all a bunch of BS. There are so many people that WANT them to break-up because they’re jealous of all that is Jon & Kate + 8. I don’t believe the hype for one second.
