TV and Movies

When I heard that Kate Gosselin was coming back to TLC with those kids I thought, who the heck wants to see her. Well I broke down and watched it and I won't watch again. She is such a drama queen. If her kids do act up, they are only learning it from Kate. The kids are fine, but when they were babies it was cute, now they are just a bunch of kids with two crabby older sisters.

Just my opinion.

Those older sisters are just children going through what teens and sub-teens go through.

I haven't seen the show for many years, but I've read about them. Kids that age have 'attitudes'.

I never let mine get away with 'attitude' but as a parent you have to let the cord get a little bit loose. Just steer them in the right direction.

I find it amazing that these people on some of these reality shows are paid for just living out their lives. I watch some stupid shows, usually only once or twice then something hits me upside the head and I realize how dumb I am for wasting my time.

However, there must be people who are real fans of some of these shows. Like I said, most of them are just living out their lives.

I should put my family on TV. Naw! None of you would ever believe it. OK, here's a hint (now it will sound like we're trash, but everyone is well educated)....OK, my mother was married 6 times......1 time to my Dad, 2 times to my step-sister's Dad and 3 times (yes, 3) to my Dad's best friend.

How's that for a reality show.

cookie.... are you watching celebrity apprentice? kate is on there....

I think the kids are cute.... but not cute enough to watch the program...lol

Yes I am watching Celebrity Apprentice. I am so rooting for Kenya to get ousted. I think her behavior is just horrible and she always cries victim on that other stupid show she is on, yes I watch the Housewives shows and I always wonder why????? They are really stupid but I continue to watch. I have alot of time to watch television in the Winter. The one on Celebrity Apprentice that I am a little surprised about is Geraldo Rivera. He is really one cocky s o b. He thinks he is above everyone else or so it seems.

Well I better go, I am watching the last week's Celebrity Apprentice now.

Oh and by the way Annabelle the cat, I had three kids, and they never did go through the smart alec know all teenage thing. I don't know how I got so lucky.

cookie... I don't care for Geraldo or Kenya.... so I think you have good powers of observation.... who do you want to win? I haven't decided, but I guess it doesn't matter... somehow I feel it is always rigged.... what do you think?

I am right in the middle of watching the 4th episode, the one that Joan Rivers makes an appearance. I didn't realize that this was taped so long ago. How many months has Joan been gone??? After I watch this episode I will put in my 2 cents. Nice to chat with you.

I really like the show when the kids were little...now I do watch just for the update of how they all look.....I think the 6 little ones are so cute....I think Kate is a little over the top sometimes, but, my gosh....in a couple of years she will have 8 EIGHT teenagers living in the house...I say God Bless her.....it will be a miracle if she doesn't need meds....

I enjoy the show....but I really love the one of the Little Couple....the wife, Jenn I think is a Doctor and her husband Bill, (I think that is his name) is such a great husband and father...they are adorable together...

Cookie, I'm willing to cut these kids some slack since they've been through so much (publicity and having their parents).

All I ever had to say to my girls were, "Are we going to have to discuss this with your Dad"? They'd say, "No way"! Snap right to! My late husband and I just had to give 'the look'.

I've never seen the show (since they were little children). I did hear they were horrible on one of the morning shows.

Most children act out for a reason (i.e. attention). In our family we'd call it 'negative attention'. All we did to counter it was we'd reward positive attention.

We'd have (my daughter's name) Day if they felt they did something amazing. They'd get to pick dinner, etc.

They did an interview with Kate, Cara and Maddy. The two girls would not say a word when asked questions and embarrased Kate so bad. That was one time when I did feel sorry for Kate.
