Kate Plus 8... I don't know how I feel about it these days!

So... I'm watching Kate Plus 8 right now and I don't know how I feel about Kate these days. Does anyone else feel the same? I think I liked her before all the fame. She seems so different (not character wise) but how she dresses. It is like she is trying to be in her 20's again and she never dressed that way before. I know she has gone through a lot in the past two years but I'm 24 and I don't even dress like that and didn't dress like that before LO came. Every scene she is in, she has on low cut tops and the girls are hanging out and she has on really short (almost booty shorts) on. She is still a good mother, but I liked the show before... 

Anyone else feel the same?

    I liked her, and the show, much better before the drama.  I miss the old show.  We still watch it now, mostly b/c DH is still hooked and loves the kids, but I don't like her any more.  She used to wear yoga pants, t-shirts, flip-flops and be half-asleep every morning.  That seems real to me.  Plus, she used to say she hated clothes and shopping.  Jon used to pick out her clothes.  Now, she's all dolled up, with hair extensions, heels and short skirts.  Not real.  I think she talks to the camera too often, too.

    Not a single ounce of offense to anyone who watches this show anymore (although I don't), but I doubt she gives 2 sh!ts if you like her anymore or not, as long as your DVR or cable box is giving her ratings and a paycheck. She's not altruistic for those kids - she's in it for herself and has made that abundantly clear in many interviews, parenting choices, and corportately driven motivations in the recent past.

    Everyone says Jon is so horrible but who is the one screaming at the kids non-stop (from the beginning), the one screaming at or ABOUT Jon constantly, the one "playing it up" to the media, the one flaunting her body inappropriately on magazine covers (my opinion), the one leaving her kids for weeks on end to be on a dancing show.....the list could go on and on.

    Now, I don't have 8 kids but I don't care if I have 1, I would NEVER EVER be the "partner" (spouse, friend, family member....remember, she has been ostrasized by nearly every family member in both her and Jon's family who attempted to have something to do with their lives, offer help, etc) or parent she is....

    I feel exactly the same sommerrayne! I don't even know why I was watching it. I love the kids and feel so badly for them now. Hopefully they turn out alright in the end. I doubt I'll ever watch the show again. I was so...appalled isn't even the right word. Sad, I guess.

    Agreed!!  It used to be about how a family with 8 kids made it work.  That's initially why I liked it. I fell in love with the kids and kept watching it.  Even though we do watch, it's kinda painful now.  I just like to see the kids.
