Parenting TV

by Stacy Kravitz

I easily get addicted to various television shows although my loyalty is often short lived. Right now I am loving Jon & Kate Plus 8. They have eight kids, two sets of multiples, twin girls who are six years old and six, yes, SIX three year olds. Honestly, when I watch this show it makes me realize that if I am overwhelmed by my ONE baby I need to buck up baby ’cause this woman is managing EIGHT kids.

It’s human nature to compare ourselves to others and evaluate our performances. Why not do so with a reality-television family who really does make reality-tv. There is nothing easy about 8 kids. And if they had nannies and help it would be a television show. They are quite real and very inspirational at that.

I am always striving to streamline my life, get organized, plan ahead, shop sales you know and be a better perfect wife and mother. Kate is full of good tips and hints. I mean, you have to get good at time management with eight kids, no?

You can catch an episode on TLC. Visit the website for times.

About Parent Extremis

Why are so many children unhealthy or apathetic or abused or illiterate or uncontrolled? That's why parents are desperate to try something new from the start. You're at the right place if the subject is home birth or homeschooling, attachment or separation, circumcision or vaccinations, natural remedies or television, gentle parenting or authoritative parenting, discipline or freedom.
