I don’t really watch TLC’s hit reality series Jon & Kate Plus 8, but I did tune in with Amanda for this past Monday’s episode, where Jon and Kate announce that they are “separating” (now, getting divorced). The whole thing was them saying, “This is what’s best for everyone. This is for the kids.” This is for the kids? Seriously? Yeah, I’m sure your children are saying, “Whoa! Mommy and Daddy need to break up because things are crazy here.” Now, I’m sympathetic to people who get divorced for real reasons, but Jon and Kate seem to care about the TV show more than the kids. Jon and Kate, how about you stop the show and take care of your marriage? Has no one thought about this?
