What a refreshing look at the sextuplet situation. I actually like them having older kids to see how they interact with the little kids. The parents get along great. I certainly hope we don't start seeing them on any tabloids soon

They seem so average, in a good way. I didn't mean that as a slight. I laughed good and hard with the pig prank. Very sweet family and the parents seem to like each other. Is this the same house they last season??? Anyone know??? Thanks

Hmm Lilifair, I did not pay attention to the house. I will look closely next week and I don't take calling them "average" as a slight at all I think it is so refreshing. What a great mom getting her 5 kids to karate and then getting them all in the car and off to see the older kids. She does not complain about carting them around, how hard it is to get them in and out of car, etc...Her little ones are 4. Yes, the parents really seem very close and no nitpicking going on and if there is it is always in a joking way.

i saw them on some interview and they were asked about the Gosselins. They said they really feel for them and know how hard it is to raise multiples. They said what they feel they have going in their favor is they have been married 19 years, had a chance to be a couple, live their lives for a while before they had kids, and they sort of eased into the chaos rather than have it happen all at once.

Lilfair - it is the same house. I like this family, too. I hope they can avoid the fame pitfalls.

Thanks Scout, the house looked much bigger than I remembered it.

I like this family-they laugh with each other, not at each other. Would love to hang out w/the parents-they seem like fun!

How sad that this nice family gets very little discussion No controversy so far with them. I like this show and their attitude. The parents really work well together.

I watched a bit of it last night. Such a pleasant family! No drama, no sides to take. Wonderfully boring! I love they way they make each other laugh (the mom and dad).

I want so badly to tell her that whenever she buys a pkg of socks, take a marker and mark the toes of them. Use a different color each time. That way you never really have to sort socks, they are color coded.

Loved tonight's show and how well Eric and Betty get along. When they forgot the car seat and Betty had to go back home to give it to Eric, she just said, "Hi Honey" when he opened the door and he took it out. No being mad, no yelling. How refreshing! Also, it is very nice to see the older kids helping with the younger kids. Especially a 13 year old boy staying back to help with his special needs sister and wanting to help make a special dinner for mom. Even when Betty got a little upset at the 10 year old twins, it was so mild. I truly enjoy watching this family.

It's obvious that this couple have a relationship beyond the kids. They laugh and even touch each other in a flirty way. The things they do for one another are not for the camera but for themselves. I think he would have made the fish for her regardless if the camera crew were there. It's amazing that they got the party off without any fighting or arguing or name calling of each other or telling one another how useless they are.

Another great episode. Next week is season finale. I wish this family would get more exposure to show how it can be done right. Betty and Eric are so good together and don't seem to let the little things bother them. It seems like their little kids are a bit more independent as well. And the love and attention they show Rachel, the disabled daugther, is very loving. It comes from the entire family and it is wonderful to see how they want to make sure she is part of what they do for the family. As I said before, very refreshing. Betty is someone that I have much more respect for and hope the show continues.

OH NO the season is over, drats! I've come to look forward to watching this loving family. I'm glad to see their extended family in the show. Are they on hiatus because school is starting?

Great episode. I love how this family is so relaxed about minor things. Happy that Betty will get a little time to herself. Hope to see another season of this family and hope we don't see them in the tabloids

I saw one or two shows last night. Really great family and show! I also thought the house looked much bigger, but I think maybe they've finished some remodeling that was in progress or on hold before they got this series. I got a real kick out of them shopping for school supplies and one of the little daughters having mom all to herself for a bit in the store. She talked and talked...."when I get older I'm going to wear a bra...mom, do you hum?..." and on and on! So cute! Funny dad being driven crazy by all the school supplies in the shopping cart and at home! Trying to stay organized! Poor Connor being sick on his first day of Kindergarten! Show will be back later in 2010!

I love this show too! They really are so laid back when it comes to little problems. They just take it as it comes and don't get frazzled. The Mom and Dad work so well together and laugh a lot. I felt so bad for Connor too. I like how the bigger kids help out, they are all pretty good kids for the most part and are cute too watch. I am glad the show will be back, its nice to see a well adjusted family.
