I love that you speak at a pace that's easy to listen to. So many people who do videos like this on drama/reality tv speak so quickly it's difficult to watch.
I always thought it was perfect that Cara's name has CARE in it and she was always so sweet with the babies and Mady's name has MAD in it lol. Obviously not Mady's fault since she was a young child
I remember watching Jon and Kate plus 8 when I was a kid and of course I didnt see the crazy things that went on that I do now as an adult. Kate especially drives me nuts, she's such a narcissist. Even to this day she still has 6 of her 8 kids turned against Jon. Jon isnt perfect by any means but he's better then Kate. He didn't want to put up with her crazy ass so she tried to turn the kids against him. Thankfully Hannah and Collin were smart enough to see through her. It's sad this once close family are now so devided. But yeah looking back and watching these shows I definitely see how messed up it is now.
I give them props for not letting the fact they have so many young kids stop them from having fun outings with the kids. I know they had each other AND a lot of help but i couldn't image how hard it would be. I feel like id be overwhelmed and need a nap just from getting all their stuff and the kids ready.
I also completely understand and agree with your sentiment about individual needs getting lost in big families and it definitely takes more time and effort to meet each need. I originally wanted 8 but realized 6 is my capacity.
I only have four kids, but I also banned markers from my house until my youngest is older. It's not the clothes I'm worried about, it's my furniture. Anytime there has been a marker in my house, itz used on walls or furniture almost immediately. And my walls are matte finish so even washable markers do not wash off
She actually said she didn't like them getting stuff on the clothes cause it took extra time to treat them and she didn't have time for it also she had extreme ocd
Wearing helmets while skiing/snowboarding wasn’t really normalized and expected until recently unfortunately. I’ve known people who’ve died because they weren’t wearing a helmet.
dani please i beg of you to consider making a longer form video, don’t get me wrong i know a lot goes into getting a video out and edited but pls consider it 😁🫶🏾
This is sooo sweet! I hope I can eventually have the growth one day to be able to do longer and more videos! Unfortunately, I do have a full-time job and just making these eats up nearly ALL my free time
@@danixxgreen i completely understand that! good on you for being able to do something like this in your free time i’m sure that’s difficult in its own right too😭
I would NEVER in a million years marry someone who said to my crying child or overstimulated child, "Suck up your tears, stop crying and for the rest of the trip, don't open your mouth." My dad did that a ton and he STILL shushes me in restaurants. I admit, I get excited and am a little loud sometimes but I don't need someone shushing me. If you hate that I'm being loud, go and sit at another table, outside and away from me. I swear, people who are rude like that drive me nuts and I am a Jon lover, way more than Kate. I hope to NEVER marry someone who shushes me at a restaurant. Even if I went on a date with someone who shushed me, they'd be dumped immediately. No one shushes me like I'm a child.
I’ll never understand the whole “boys are harder to potty train” ideology. Maybe because i’m a man, but i was also a teacher for toddlers and preschool and my boys were so easy to teach to go potty. They just go, shake and off they went. My girls ADORED chatting on the potty and playing in the toilet paper 🙄
What I've noticed is that both these parents have terrible communication and emotion regulation skills. I mean they're short tempered with each other and with the children, causing the kids to be short tempered themselves. Kate would slap her husband and her children, especially off camera. Both parents grab their kids to get them to do as they tell them. Kate off camera was more physical and on camera she was very controlling and freaked out on them. Jon's shouting volume when the kids do play up in front of him is like a pit bull barking. Both parents talk over one another and both of them verbally attack each other, creating unnecessary drama to the people around them. When Jon does try to step up whether it's the children or the house, nothing is ever good enough for Kate. As a result of the lack of respect between the parents, the kids don't have respect either. Season 3 in particular was when this family's behavior was at their worst emotionally. This family was not happy. Once they separated it looked like things were okay, but the result of this whole thing was disastrous.
I’m glad you bring up the Colin bit, it really comes off like she kinda was always mean and negative about him even like from the way she described him in like the pilot with what Kate says the kids are like. I wish these kids the best and hope they thrive in life.
Weighing in here as a 33yr old mom of 6. I think it's a super common misconception that the more kids you have the less attention. Although all of mine are singletons I think it's really a case by case basis. I am also a SAHM and I think that's a privilege alot of families don't have.
Does anyone else remember the parody that Sesame Street did of this show, where Jon and Kate were so tired, they couldn’t remember how many kids they had, so they asked The Count to come in and count them?
19:17 Mannnn. That kind of parenting is still so common. With my kids, if they're crying I want to know why and if i can help. Not shut them up. My parents too were like Jon in this moment.
Kate seems like one of those people who always finds something negative to say about every person she meets. She seems like an exhausting person to be around. The way she treats Jon is awful.
obviously did you listen to the explanation on the show to why jon took the boys by himself it was 1. because it was hard to find someone to watch the kids 8 times so the boys did time just with jon also to do some one on one time with daddy
I wouldn’t bash the coffee gift card 😂….I would prefer that over a bag and jewelry and my husband would have LOVD that (we are huge coffee drinkers)….if that’s his thing then that’s his thing.
Wow I've been watching this whole playlist and 9 minutes in was the first ad I recall seeing during the video. I don't know if it's just cause it's a month old so you didn't have motorization yet or what but lol girl get those ads going lol it's RU-vid we get making videos monetized and people will either pay up for RU-vid premium or be like me and be patient. I understand you feeling like these shows were exploitative but just like The Dad Challenge Podcast says, you are putting time and work into all of your videos. Nothing wrong with monetizing that. Btw the algorithm showed be Season 4 part 1 and you now have a new subscribers in me.
I can fully understand why you don't want a large family. But many parents make it work well. And of course the vast majority don't put their kids on tv. Keep in mind we don't see this family's whole life either. Just the moments on tv.
@@Supersoccerchic ik what dairy farms are but this looked more of a actual factory they use for milk. There's one near by town that looks like a huge farm/warehouse thing that just holds all the cows till their slaughtered.
Mady was a child who, as a toddler, consistently had her parents attention as the ratio was 2:2. Then, as a child, it’s 8:2. It’s not psycho to be 7 and want your parents’ attention and not be great at expressing your frustration
@@danixxgreen So was Cara and she doesn't throw toddler fits like Mady. This is a parent problem though. Many parents with large families handle these situations well. But Kate and Jon don't generally, plus they're on TV so that's a whole other problem.
@@SoCalJellybean Its almost like kids take after the role models their given and a literal 6 years old won't have the critical thinking skills to take apart their parent's flaws. Which is not the fault of the child
@@pagejames8754 Did you know that not all children are a hivemind and that different kids have different personalities and needs and process things differently? When your emotions are constantly being dismissed *IE* Jon basically telling her to sit down and shut up when she was clearly overwhelmed in ep 16 and Kate straight up ignoring her when she was asking her a basic question you probably aren't gonna have great emotional regulation. Just a thought.
After rewatching most of the episodes, it's clear to me that Jon was the problem. Kate was always yelling at him cause he acted like another kid. Also when they are angry, Kate usually snaps at his behavior/what he's doing, while Jon will say flat out abusive things. Also like what you said earlier, Jon was so much more agressive and angry with the kids then kate.
Kate would get physical with the children off camera. Both parents were the problem in different ways. Both parents had terrible emotion regulation and communication skills which in turn causes serious behavior issues with the children
I’ve noticed people who say stuff like this tend to identify with Kate. They sympathize with her and want so badly for her to be the victim, because it means they are redeemable too. Kate even after the divorce was seen to still be a miserable person who doesn’t know how to treat others. My advice to anyone looking to date is to rewatch these old episodes and see how people react. Anyone who sees Kate as some innocent victim should be avoided lol. They are clearly also a narcissistic and abusive asshole. Jon and Kate both sucked in different ways, but saying either one was ‘the problem’ is so telling . She openly shames his appearance and dehumanizes him publicly in the way she speaks to him. He can’t even breathe without her spitting venom his way.
I love your vids but in the nicest way possible its a little hard for me to focus on what your saying because it sounds like you're reading off a script, no hate tho
@@nikkydalby7126 i know but like you can read from a script and idk sound less like a robot, yk. youtubers who have more life in their voice just help me focus better on what is being said and they become more successful when they do that so its a win for both of us
I honestly like it because she enunciates really well and speaks very clearly and evenly, which makes it easier for me to hear and focus on what she’s saying, which I can struggle with for other videos
You have a picture of yourself with a DOG. How can you comment on what’s right and wrong with raising children? You are maybe 50% correct. And that form a Mom of EIGHT. Too bad, God says is what goes. And He said multiply.
