Jon Plus 8, Minus Kate?

Happy summer SharpMoms! What a great start to the summer I have been having. I tuned in last night to Jon and Kate Plus 8, along with several other SharpMomsI am sure. I am not sure how I feel about their separation. I am sad for both Jon and Kate, but mostly their eight children. This season has been quite disappointing already with all the buzz of a divorce, affairs, etc. For some reason with all that “bad news” looming over the family, I didn’t find the episodes as funny, the kids as cute or Jon and Kate as likeable as in seasons past. I was equally disappointed to hear Jon say in last night’s episode that he was sad, but excited to start the next chapter in his life. In my book he seemed a little too emotionally ready for the split and very much detached from the family. Kate on the other hand let her guard down and showed a more vulnerable side (in contrast to her usual crass self!).  What are other SharpMoms thinking? This family is all the buzz on morning shows, gossip magazine, and even Facebook. Leave a comment and let SharpMoms know your thoughts!
