We all read the book, right? Kids running all over an island marooned to manage themselves. That book title pops into my head when I read about how the "big announcement" was made on Jon and Kate plus 8 last night. No, I didn't watch the show, as I was too busy researching inguinal hernias on my own son's behalf (not as much fun I must admit, but I have real life to contend with...and no time for T.V.)
Anyway, I did catch this video clip of the "big announcement" this morning.
Sad! But I'm not them...and I won't claim to be qualified to make any judgements on their choices. There but for the grace of God go I. However, I did find the assertions that "the house belonged to the children" a little disturbing. It's a noble gesture, sure. I do not agree with this particular notion. Is that how it really ought to be? Should children own a home? Should parents just be intermittent guest in the children's home? Yyyyyy...no.
Parents make the home, the children will be raised in. Then one day the children are to leave the nest to go off and create their own homes, not the other way around.

Myeh.. I'm a bit disturbed by the whole thing really. But this is what our society has come to. Adults have children to allow the children to dictate to the adults what is acceptable and what isn't. I was SO wishing they were saying they'd cancel the show to work on their marriage.
i think its actually a really unique and probably good arrangement. no moving back and forth for the children, no different school districts and no 'i left my homework at daddys house' or whatever. i was really sad by the whole thing though, but i do have to wonder if this set up was to keep the show going. i have to imagine at this point they feel trapped by the income of the show. neither of them has worked in awhile, they probably can't quit the show for money reasons
