A story of a childless couple that steals a baby from a family with quintuplets, figuring they wouldn’t miss one.
I guess way back in 1987, five kids out of one womb was a lot, but it might not make the news today. And the Arizona family can forget a TV reality show or any time on Good Morning America.
This John and Kate couple with 8 kids (six the same age) have set the standard for exploitation of children and free child care from camera crew members.
They act like they alone have this gargantuan task of raising eight children, but they have free help coming out of the woodwork (in exchange for being semi-famous, I guess). These freeloaders have people coming over to fold and put away their laundry for Pete’s sake.
Also, they do these “behind the scenes interviews” with just the two of them. What are the eight kids doing at this time? Don’t tell me one of the crew from Lifetime or TLC or whatever network is airing them don’t have an intern pulling her hair out in the other room arbitrating an eight-way “MINE!” dispute.
They are not raising eight kids alone. They get free stuff, free vacations, free everything and all they have to do is pretend there isn’t some kind of Truman Show kind of damage being done to their children with the 24/7 coverage of everything.
Because if they really were raising eight kids by themselves, the show would be much different. Without all the freebies and army of volunteers, they would wear the same clothes every day, shower about once a week, eat only off of paper plates, go to the landfill once a day with a truckload of soiled diapers, and swear at people for no reason. Also, bath time would be like the Poseidon Adventure and the father of this crew would have to knock off about three liquor stores a week to be able to pay for it all.
It’s not a reality show. It’s a pack of lies.
