Kate Plus 8
Anyone watch tonight?
It's the 1st time I watched in a while.
But does Cara speak?
Mady definitely says enough for both of them. She's got some mouth on her. There's no way I would've gotten away talking to my mother like that. Much less on TV!
The sextuplets are adorable.
And Kate must take Xanax to never raise her voice and always keep her cool. I don't know how she does it

I watched. Mady definitely is the most outspoken of the twins while Cara seems to be more reserved and to herself. I seriously have no idea how this woman does it. I can barely handle my 3 and she's got 8!!! I always said her and Michelle Duggar must be on some heavy stuff to be so calm all the time. Although we have no idea what goes on when the cameras are off I guess. The kids are adorable and so grown!

Re: Kate Plus 8
I didn't watch but I have to say, so many people gave this woman crap years ago for her parenting and how much she yelled or whatever. I know she toned down her yelling since the first show, but I give her SO much credit. I have ONE. ONE! And with one I go crazy sometimes. I have zero patience when he pushes my buttons. I cannot even fathom having 8. In my eyes, this woman is a saint. Especially doing it as a single mother. She deserves so much more credit than the majority of America gives her.

I agree.
As for her yelling I think a lot of that had to do with her relationship with Jon.
She seems much more at peace now.
Sometimes doing it alone is easier
Nobody to say "hey...I want it done this way". Now it's her way and that's it.
And I have to say...she looks great!

Re: Kate Plus 8
I dont understand the appeal of this show to anyone. At. All. Its crappy TV like that Kartrashian show..Just seeing the commercials make me feel like I lost 20 seconds of my life.

Re: Kate Plus 8
I've read that she has a lot of help off-camera (nannies, staff, etc.). So I don't wonder how she does it, because there's really no comparison between her and an average single mom trying to keep it all together.

Exactly and the kids are older now. It is a whole different dynamic of when they were toddlers.

I disagree. Even if she does have nannies helping her, she has EIGHT kids. The average single mom trying to keep it all together doesn't have eight kids. The average single mother in the US is raising ONE child. Even assuming she does have help from staff and nannies, its got to be a tremendous feat for her to raise these kids on her own. I'm not saying single moms with less children don't have it hard- its incredibly challenging for any single parent. But I give her a lot of credit for how she holds it together on tv with these 8 children.

The magic word is ON TV. She is getting paid to look calm and put together. Who knows what happens behind closed doors.

She claims she cooks THREE meals every day for all eight children.
I don't cook three meals in a week for my one!
