So was that the season ender? I didn't notice any new shows next week. And the preview said something like, "on the new season of Little People, Big World...." The DVR didn't say it was the season ender, but I can't count on that to be accurate anyway.

Man, what stress they must be going through with that remodel! I think I heard one of the kids say it won't be done till June? They may rip each other's throats out by then! LOL.

Back to the state of their living quarters. Wow. I've gone through major remodeling and would never have made it through sane if I lived in the type of disorder. Those white trash bags never did make their way to goodwill. I just don't get how Amy allows that clutter. Amy needs to have a pow wow with Jon and Kate. How could it be that a house with 8 small children can be more organized than the Roloff's? If this was the season ended I'll miss the show. Hopefully it won't be long before the new season starts.

Amy gives a good speech I wonder how much of her speech is written by Matt?

cause order is a priority to Kate and not to Amy

not to mention it (it being the Gosselin house) is not just more organized, it is WAY WAY WAY WAY more organized!

No matter how cluttered the Roloff house is, I still love them like crazy!!!

But you'd think with the $$ they must now have (not that they are billionaires) but you'd think they'd invest in at least a once a week housekeeper... or something.

Kate is more organized and has little kids while Amy has kids old enough to help keep things clean and orderly. I find myself judging them as I watch the show only because I don't "get it" how they can stand that mess. And on top of that the house is so very nice.

I am watching the show thinking Container Store,keeping bins with necessary items, and other items stored in one of the many buildings on the Roloff property.
I like this family a lot.

But they had a professional organizer come in and design their pantry...but the problem is you have to keep it organized. I always fail in that regard too!

Being neat and organized is just not important to Amy. We've had this discussion a million times. She doesn't want a stranger coming into her house and touching her things and she just doesn't care how it looks.

Well, I couldn't live with all that clutter and chaos but to each their own. Kate can't live with it cluttered or messy very well, she admits it. (The Roloffs also own a lot more things, more stuff, than the Gosslins.) They are just two different wonderful women! I like them both a lot and could see myself being friends with them in real life if I knew them. I have friends with more clutter and mess in their homes and I also have friends with less clutter and mess in their homes. I could care less. It never bothers me. I don't have to live in their homes and they don't have to live in mine.

Along those same lines, I really laughed during a recent episode when Matt was somewhat giving Amy a hard time about her stuff and she went on and on and on about her stuff and how she loves her stuff etc. She was doing this on purpose to make some point to him I think. She was not really exaggerating I don't think but I can't think of the proper wording right now. Anyone, I found it really funny!

I also find it funny that Matt is including a room in the remodel just for all the stuff that belongs to Amy and the kids!

I'm just happy that when someone looks at my house...I can say, "you think this is bad?"

Can you imagine how hard it is to move all of your stuff out of your bedroom and into bins and bags in the living room?! I can't imagine how it wouldn't be complete chaos!

I know they are not neat, tidy and organized during non-remodel times, but give them a break here. They've been out of their bedrooms for weeks and weeks on end. It would drive me batty to live that way, sleeping on the couch or floor, no privacy. ACK! No wonder they are all on edge.

The goslings and the Roloffs are like opposite ends of the spectrum on how to run a household. Kate is so strict and amy is so laid back. I learn from both of them (and laugh at both of them).

Above, I typed "Anyone, I found it really funny! "

Geez...I meant "Anyway" I think my mind is cluttered...

I also learn from both Amy and Kate.

Oh, my gosh, when I saw the boys jumping into that huge hole I about fainted. What was wrong with the the adult filming that potential death trap that he didn't put a stop to it. If it had caved in the boys could have been dead before they could have gotten them out. It happens all the time with professional ditch diggers who don't follow safety procedures. Shudder!

Yeah the hole bothered me and I have to admit that I wouldn't be wanting kids to play by throwing rocks at each other either.

Goslins vs Roloffs.. interestingly, on J&K+8 the other day she mentioned that they let the little girls play DVDs of their own shows when they go to sleep but she said the other show the kids watch/like is Little People Big World. So I guess the mess isn't too distressing for them to see. I'd enjoy having lunch with Kate and Amy. (as if either would have time!)

Hey, Sea, if these two gals invited us to lunch, we'd sure as shootin' make time...wouldn't we? Today for the first time in years I saw a dwarf. He was at the a/p making a beeline for the elevator. I was hoping to strike up a conversation, but he disappeared on me. And I wouldn't have talked 'dwarf' but just hi, how are you today.

OG, your post made me laugh so hard! I know that wasn't your intention, but I'm seeing you "not talking dwarf" and imagining you running after that person like (s)he was an elf or something.

Oh, and a very interesting thing about him, he was very thin. He looked odd compared to the dwarfs we see on the show.

We were driving past the women's prison one day and they had all the convicts picking up litter along the highway and there was a midget dragging a huge trash bag. We wondered what in the world she did to land her in jail.
Around here we see more midgets than dwarfs, I don't know why.

Wills, the word midget is very offensive to dwarfs/little people. And actually a dwarf can break the law just as easily as a regular height person. (What do you consider the diff between a midget and a dwarf anyways?)

All I know is the term midget is highly offensive to little people/dwarfs.

Also, I think, but don't really know, that a person who is proportioned normally, but is small in stature, is still a dwarf or little person.

I find that since watching the show I never use the word midget. If the little people don't like it, that's good enough for me.

My half-Philippino grand children recoil from being called Oriental. They much prefer to be referred to as Asian.

It took me some time to get the hang of African-American, but now I don't think twice. I'm trying very hard in my old age not to label people in any way they feel demeans them. But, hey, that's just me.

Yes I can see they may find the term offensive.

It's kind of like a doctor's office calling me in by my first name. I hate that so much.
