What Went Wrong...

Jon & Kate Plus 8 is a reality television show about the Gosselin family, consisting of parents Jon and Kate and their eight children: a set of twins and sextuplets. The show follows the family through their daily lives, focusing on the challenges of raising multiple children. It was fun, lighthearted look watching these parents struggling in raising their kids.


But what used to be an enjoyable lil’ reality show develop into some twisted money making machine for Jon and Kate to use for their own gain. At first, I saw the family in a humble home with Jon working and Kate staying home to take care of the kids.

But in time, Jon no longer works as the family is supported by their numerous speaking engagements, sponsorships, etc. Jon and Kate’s attitude has changed to where they give off this sense of privilege. In actual fact they’ve used their kids to gain a “celebrity type” lifestyle which includes from clothes, meals, trips, vacations, child care to even Jon’s hair transplant!! What’s messed up is that Jon and Kate have no qualms about receiving these at all. It’s pretty sad. And it seems that the lil’ kids are paying the price for all of this.
