So is this the next Gosselin family? Will they suffer the same fate? I’m sure that even though there are apparent differences with this family, some have to be wondering this. If so, will that not be sort of proof that having camera’s in your face through all of your marital and parental adventures possibly isn’t the most beneficial thing? I haven’t watched every episode, but there was one with a therapist (which with that many children, I think every couple would need one!) where you could tell that the couple definitely has some difficulty communicating, differences and conflict. Are they going to be able to work that out unlike the Gosselin’s? There was one scene where they were moving stuff and she’s like “we work so well together”. If this lady isn’t in denial, I’m not sure who is? If you want to call blaming each other for everything going wrong, eye rolling and nit picking “working well together” then by all means, they are great at it!

One difference about this family is that they seem to both have great sets of parents who have been hands on since the kids births. So why is the couple packing up and leaving them behind? Oh, I don’t know, because the kids have caused them to lose their minds maybe?! lol - seriously. I get the concept of them wanting to feel like they are a true married couple, doing it on their own without parental guidance or influence. But what part of having six children do they not understand? The other part that I don’t understand is the notion of him having this “opportunity” to be a financial adviser in a different state. Aren’t there financial advisers everywhere? Why does this profession require a move? If they are able to live with family (which obviously one set of parents seems to be okay with), then why not take advantage of that while building his business? I also get not wanting to spend the rest of your life doing something you hate, but I have to agree with one of the parent’s that said his actions were selfish. Take an adventure into your passion either before or after your kids. The wife is having leave her job and then you have the poor grandparents who are heartbroken. Oh, and I got it, just adding a television crew to provide and tape it all is going to make things much better, I’m sure! Unlike the Gosselins, these two don’t seem to have any interest in fame, so what’s that about?

One thing that did make sense was when he finally piled all of the kids up and got them out of the house so they could actually pack and move, even though it did seem a little dramatic. I also loved the comment that he made about the idea of hell being that you had to move every day and I can’t imagine having to handle and move stuff for that many kids! The wife at one point, said she was a “strong chic”, that’s pretty obvious. But she is going to need to be more like super woman who can bend steel in order to still be in one piece after ignoring her parents voices of reason, and going off into their great big unknown with six little ones. One grandmother said, I’m afraid they aren’t going to know how much they need us until they are gone. Maybe the move will just help them be a little more appreciative of what they had?

Anyhooo….just my thoughts and rant on this latest family of too many kids. I do wish them the best of luck and hope that their marriage does withstand this next test.
