Eight Minus Jon & Kate?

The tabloids have been buzzing this week about the indiscretions of Jon and Kate (from Jon and Kate Plus 8 fame). I admit to watching several of the show's episodes and enjoying them for the most part with one cringe inducing exception: the way Kate treats Jon. I am sure that taking care of eight children all day plus working around a camera crew is stressful in addition to the everyday things. I can't speak from the experience of having eight children, but I can speak from the experience of going through a painful divorce. The pain that this is going to cause those children, now and in the future, is a huge price to pay. The stark truth is that perhaps this could have been prevented with a bit of respect...
