Comments on: Lessons Learned from Jon and Kate Plus 8 http://howdoyoudoit.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/lessons-learned-for-jon-and-kate-plus-8/ Moms of Multiples Tell it Like it Is Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:28:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Tricia http://howdoyoudoit.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/lessons-learned-for-jon-and-kate-plus-8/#comment-1305 Tricia Sun, 27 Apr 2008 01:11:56 +0000 http://howdoyoudoit.wordpress.com/?p=499#comment-1305 This show is definitely THERAPY for me! Honestly, I think Kate and I were seperated at birth... I find myself finishing her sentences or thinking what she is saying all the time! I am a nurse too and now only work part-time to stay at home with my kids. My husband is an IT computer guy too! The only difference is that my husband refuses to consider the thought of "just one more" baby, and so there is no way we will end up with 6 more~ haha. My husband, too, SAYS he cant stand watching the show (cause it gives him chest pain from the anxiety of the memories/flashbacks from our own baby-days with twins), but he does watch it with me when we get a rare moment to watch it. To me, its such an inspiration to know that if Kate can do it with 8 kids, I can do it with the 2 I have. I think its so funny to see and hear someone dealing with the same frustrations that I have and know that we arent doing too bad of a job after all. Its honestly one of those things that my friends that are mothers of singletons just dont get/understand and never will. This show is definitely THERAPY for me!

This is my new guilty pleasure. My husband says he doesn't like it...and then sits and watches the entire episode with me. Hehe. This is my new guilty pleasure.

All I know is that I would NOT want a camera around at 3am when we are playing toddler musical chairs. Certainly not the 'best' moments of our relationship! But in the morning, it's always a bit comical to re-live the names that we called eachother. :) Since day 2 in the hospital, Brook and I have a standing rule: Whatever we say to eachother after midnight doesn't count. Amen!

Jon & Kate were supposed to speak at a local church next month, and the event was just canceled. A bunch of us from my twin club were going to go, and we are so bummed!! Those are fantastic tips!

I know there is a group of women from my local club planning to attend the convention on the day they are speaking (thankfully we are within driving distance!).
