Ugh.
I used to watch this show when the kids were little but haven't been able to stomach it over the past year or so. Somewhere along the line, it stopped being about two parents raising eight children and it became about Kate Gosselin and her ridiculous "needs". I'm sorry, but there are a lot of large families in the world who are not making serious money an episode and getting so much stuff donated to them. She and Jon have some really adorable children who still stand a chance of becoming well-adjusted adults (provided poor Mady is able to deal with the damage that's clearly already been done), but if they don't get out of the national spotlight soon, those kids are screwed. If nothing else, Kate should not be doing cover stories for ANY magazines, tabloid or not. I know she can't singlehandedly stop the paparazzi but she can negate the amount of attention by doing everything she can to ignore it, for the sake of her children. They should have a good chunk of change stored up by now, as she's not raising a literal army. They're kids, they shouldn't have to work for their supper and that is essentially what is going on. It needs to stop now.
