First, thanks for the reply and taking time to read my post. The kids are important to all of us who watch the show and take the time to read here and discuss.
If you feel they are so terribly "exploited" by this show... I really think, like I said, that those of you need to take a stand and walk away. You have the right to post here-- but you wont make anyone change their mind. You are only giving the paparazzi, and TLC, a reason to keep going. Why? Because people are interested, because people are blogging about the couple, posting on message boards, and checking out the photos each and every day (though you don't... you are supporting a thread that does all of this-- and again, i dont mind it a bit! I come here for the photos and links myself

). You can easily find out that bit of information that I colored in red (I had to change the color since you bold and color all of your posts) on the television. Going in depth here, arguing/discussing your POV, etc, esp. for someone who doesn't support the show, is giving a lot of time and energy to it. Whether you mean to directly support it is something else entirely... but IMO, you are giving it support.
I agree, the situation is sad. Anytime a couple divorces its terribly sad. Adding 8 kids makes your heart want to break in-two. Having watched this couple from the beginning, we start to feel like we know them. Unfortately, we don't. But those kids weren't being actors at that age. We all feel for the kids.
I am doing well. Thanks for asking
I am interested in seeing the photos, etc. I'll admit that. I guess its like a car crash-- you hate to look but its hard not to. I suppose the drama of it all like watching a soap opra for a lot of us. We often forget it's someones reality. I just don't know why those who aren't interested continue to post about it. Obviously there is something to be interested in or they wouldnt give this thread the time of day. I know, the kids! But the kids will be watched by millions-- and the television does a good job of keeping us up-to-date on the welfare of those in hollywood. I didn't belong to a Britney Spears thread... but I did know when she shaved her head and got visits from Dr. Phil-- just by watching the TV. Not that I care for Britney, but she did have 2 children. And when it comes to children-- we all seem to care. I guess its whatever you are interested in. I wasnt as invested into her as I am this couple-- therefore I didnt post on threads, etc. I am this couple, I like seeing the photos, therefore I post.

I dont know why I wrote all of this on the response to you. LOL. It has nothing to do with you, or your post. Im sorry
