Well, normally I would say you are right Twinkie...Except that there is just too much proof for this one. Heck, this is such old accepted news that I didn't even know it was still arguable.

I completely get what you are saying Escapee. For my view, Nanny or daycare is childcare you pay for to watch you kids while you work. I can't even imagine the scenario you worked in! LOL. It's so beyond what most people are struggling to do (raise kids and work at the same time).

<77>

I really have a hard time wrapping my head around the Jodie/Beth thing, but agree it has to be true. I also wonder why the grandparents have disappeared. Seems sad, cuz Kate does seem to be a very loving mom. So why wouldn't she have a loving relationship with other family members??

Escapee, not offended. FWIW, my sister works FT and makes enough $$ so that she has the financial luxury to hire someone to watch her kids at her house. That makes life a lot more convenient than getting the kids ready every morning and worrying about picking them up by a certain time. Her nanny even got to do things like bring the kids to tot time at the park district, etc. Actually since her kids are now 3 & 5, the nanny is no longer fulltime as the kids go to preschool some days.

A day late and a dollar short. *sigh*

I was a "nanny" or live in babysitter. [Nanny looks better on resume's and job applications. *L*] I never babysat at night and went home on weekends tho the little boy would always want to play with me.

Escapee, your story is why I am sensitive to the perception of the word 'nanny'. Brenda, it also implies great wealth here too.
Negligent and rich are two words that didn't apply.

I have never bought the 'kate flipped out cause beth was beloved' story either.

Found this article from realitytvworld.com about TLC announcing the next season.

http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/report-tlc-announce-jon-%26-kate-plus-8-fifth-season-next-week-8691.php

Ont of the things it says is that when Jon made thoes comments about not being able to go out and just be him it was the same day as the news story broke out about when he was"parting" with those college girls.

Whoa that makes him look pa-ritty bad. Wonder how much truth there is to it... Beer pong?? I think it's one thing to go out for a drink with a few friends (when you have a wife and little kids at home), but a totally different thing if you are going out with the intent of getting "buzzed," playing beer pong and doing the other things the article said. Somehow I can't picture him doing that.

Well, I doubt any "source" who talks to Star magazine.

I think it is a hoot that the Harlem Globetrotters like to watch Jon&Kate+8 while travelling on their bus..

John was sort of discussing that article when he said he "couldn't be him." He's always recognized now. He also said that even posing for pictures if people ask is all turned around, so I don't believe the article one bit.

Lol, Seamonkey. How cute is that!

I loved Alexis when her mother asked her if she wanted to marry Elmo. She cracks me up when she scrunches up her face and says "Nooo" and gives her mother the look. She's a doll.

Did we ever get a TAble for 12 thread? I didn't see one. Finally caught this show and really enjoyed it. Would love to know more background on the family.

Lotsofkids here is a link to the episodes at Wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jon_%26_Kate_Plus_8_episodes

It looks like the last two were titled "B-Ball & More" which originally aired March 23, 2009. The Gosselins go to a basketball game and meet The Harlem Globetrotters.

"Family Outing" which originally aired March 23, 2009. The Gosselins visit Philadelphia's Please Touch Museum, where the kids learn by touching everything.

Lotsokids, I believe "Family Outing" (as above) was the season finale show. Kate was on her own taking the kidlets to the touching museum while Jon was visiting his mother and helping her out. Towards the end of this show, Jon & Kate are sitting in their little love seat sofa speaking about the possibility of continuing on with another season...or not.

I'm torn. I'd love to see another season because I so enjoy seeing the kids and how Jon & Kate deal with life issues as they pop up. But then, it appears that Jon & Kate may need some "quiet time" for themselves and so it might be time for them to call the show quits. I suspect it will be back...it's a great show and watched by many!

Whatever the decision, I wish The Gosselins well...Jon, Kate, Mady, Cara, Alexis, Collin, Leah, Joel, Hannah, and Aaden.
