Bravo VS TLC last night and guess who won my attention? Yeah, you know it. I was watching 9 By Design and loving the crazy hectic antics of Courtney and Robert and the design company they started called "6". Last night Courtney was catching shit from Robert for taking a job she wouldn't get paid for. She was designing an office space for a guy who agreed to give $13 grand to a youth basketball charity that her son is involved with. It was amazing to me that these parents care so much about their community. And they're so busy!*
During a commercial, I started flipping and what did I find? A rival new show on TLC, that channel that's burnt us all with Kate and her eight..and her greed. The new show is called Quintuplet Surprise..and the surprise is that TLC thinks anyone will support this shit. The father was bitching about how he never really wanted kids, he didn't like kids, found them annoying. So, of course the answer is to have multiples by some fertility crapola. He actually said "People say they're such a blessing, right, then you try having five at once." My face felt stiff and my heart kind of skipped a little. What?? I went back to Bravo.

Now Courtney has found out that she and Robert scheduled back to back parties in their fab home. One party to raise money for the basketball team and another to raise money to pay the medical bills of a friend whos little daughter has leukemia. Courtney is beside herself, she knows she's over extended and in the midst of all this..they have 7 kids. 7 kids they had one or two at a time, naturally conceived and that they support themselves. 7 pretty well behaved kids that they love and never bitch about having. Commercial again..

Back on TLC, I find out the quints father does not produce viable sperm and so he let "another man impregnate his wife" with a shit load of babies he doesn't seem to want. Hmm. Now he's bitching about money. It's not clear what he does for work..if anything..but they live in a huge beautiful home. Mom comes on and says the nursery used to be her exercise room and she used to have a trainer come work out with her. Now she has cribs. Lots of cribs. There's a shot of a bunch of babies screaming. I turn the channel..

Courtney apologises to Robert for taking a job that won't pay, but, reminds him it's for a good cause. He agrees. They also decide to try and sell some art since they're short of money. They have real honest to goddess art all over the house, as opposed to photos of themselves and all their spawn. She also decides to go ahead with both charity parties and just suck it up because they realize they need to help other people.

TLC should be removed from my TV. Back on Bravo, Courtney finally finishes the office and it is brilliant, like everything they do. I am amazed at their designs. Sleek, modern, bathed in light and color and always containing a signature beat up piece they find at a flea market..to symbolize that nothing is perfect and you take your lot in life and find the joy in it. Not once did anyone feel the need to scream at a child during this show or to bitch even once about how many children they decided to have.

IN conclusion..fuck you TLC. No one wants to watch any more breeders bitching about how tough raising multiples is. If it's so hard, then you shouldn't have shopped for sperm. And I am also sick of them saying fetus reduction is not an option. No, but, bitching about how much you regret your children on TV is? All these clowns can make conversation about is how much ass they have to wipe and how much shit they have to smell. Fuck you whatever your name's are. You make me puke. You are what is wrong with the world. You and TLC.

I couldnt agree more, just sad! Poor babies :(
So fetus reduction wasn't an option for them AND they're complaining about dealing with all the kids?! You're so right DD. Something very wrong with that and with TLC for thinking it's worthy entertainment. Why do they think children are expendable and exploiting them this way is acceptable? They're the ones who pay as always.
Yeah, gee, do I want to watch two creative genius's change their world and manage to do it while raising the kids they don't regret..or do I watch a bunch of money grubbing fame whores talk about poop? What a toss up, eh? TLC is for retards and trash. And kate Gosselin.
The tlc parents have a terrible attitude !
I bet tlc will broadcast their divorce too.
What a bunch of parasites ! Yik it's like
night and day when u go over to bravo.
Their name alone BRAVO says it all ! Kiki :)
Sounds disgusting. I think TLC realizes that it is human nature to hate so they are going to put more and more obnoxious people on in an effort to draw controversy and ratings. It worked with Kate G so they will milk it.
I watched this last night (9bydesign). I assume you saw the in memoriam at the end of the show. The poor girl did not survive.
Hubs and I really like this show. TLC can go suck it.
I saw that show a few weeks ago. It was hard to watch. I wondered when the father was going to walk out on all of these babies because he couldn't find work.
Heidi, I missed that. How heartbreaking. And how decent of Courtney and Robert to help with medical bills.
That quint dad is gayer than all get out.
I was so turned off by the very first 9 by Design that aired. I thought the parents were too "ooh, we are so ecclectic and artsy and we have one more kid on the way! hee hee. look at us!!" But then the more I watched it, the more they grow on me and I am starting to like it...just a little.
On to the new family on TLC...they suck! They asked for all these kids (yes, they did) and then bitch and complain about how much it sucks to take care of them and how they can't afford them. These two are classic cases of spoiled children who grew up to be spoiled adults. She should sell that Louis Vuitton purse she has and pay some effing bills! It has to be worth at least $800.
It is as though TLC tells these families only "unappreciative shockingly immoral questionable behavior" sells soooooo folks: RAMP IT UP for the cameras!
Does God make people infertile for a reason? Don't Christians say God has a plan for each and every one of them? I am not against fertility help if done responsibly. Having a litter of babies is NOT responsible. And that Jones man is creepy.
I know someone will say i'm wrong, but this is what I think. Nature has a way of working things out. If you have one child, learn to love that child and be happy with what you have. People who can not have babies of their own, adopt. (We have an adopted child in our family and we couldn't love him more.--No one even thinks about him being adopted.) There are so many children who need families and would love to have a family of their own. This idea of having to be "blood" is stupid. You don't have to give birth to be a mom. There's way too much importance put on this invitro bullshit. Big medicine making big bucks---and sometimes it backfires. Wake up "trend setters" and save a child. And for the love of whatever is holy for you, why do you have to go out of our fricking country to adopt a baby?
TLC has a real knack for finding the most unpleasant people in the world.
Bayou Jane I agree with your post. I can't have any kids of my own and I want to adopt. I don't understand people who want their "own" kids. One person who really irritates me is Celine Dion. She is always talking about how she wants a "miracle baby". She has one kid already who is like 8 years old and whenever she is interviewed she's all, "Oh la la, I want another one! I will do whatever it takes! I must have my second miracle baby!" Ya dumb bitch, go out and adopt!
I speak as someone who took clomid in order to conceive. It took me several cycles, and when I was ready for a second child, it didn't take, and before we could move on to injections, my husband changed his mind and said he didn't want any more. I will always have that little empty hole in my heart, that people who have more children than I do, will never understand. It really does feel like I am still waiting for that last person to arrive at the party. I love my husband. I don't understand the choice, though. And incidentally, I would have been fine with adoption, but my husband was not. He just did not want any more children. Period. My niece gave her last three children up to the state about a year ago. She never told any of us in this side of the family, that she had let the kids go (actually, they were taken from her) until it was too late, and they had been placed together, in a foster care situation. I would have loved to take those kids! Two little girls and a boy, and they all just slipped away.
I do understand why people adopt from other countries, though. Adoption overseas has, in the past, been easier, and is final. Too many horror stories about moms changing their minds and taking the babies back, here. Too many drug babies, too. I don't really know of many people who are willing to deal with a baby withdrawing.
It is horrendously difficult to adopt a baby in the USA. Abortion is legal and most young girls who have children don't want to give them up. There aren't agencies like in the old days (I'm not saying that was better.) If you want to adopt a baby in the USA generally you have to advertise for a pregnant woman who wants to give up her child. Then you pay her medical & living expenses. Then you hope that she gives up the child to you and then even after you have the baby, she can change her mind until the adoption is final.
I can tell you some horror stories. A woman I worked with had such an adoption and it all worked out beautifully. The same girl got pregnant again and was going to give them the second child too so at least the siblings would grow up together. For the 2nd child, the girl was stringing along a second childless couple and both couples were paying her expenses and in the end she gave the baby to the 2nd couple. That's when my co-worker found out. It really was like a miscarriage for her.
Another friend was going to adopt. A semi-open adoption. She was always on the phone with the mom-to-be. The girl had sworn she wasn't on drugs but of course she was. My friend saw her on the news, she had been arrested for holding up a storekeeper at knifepoint! After going through months of this, she was so connected that it didn't matter about the drugs or anything. She even went to the prison to talk to the girl. You guessed it, the girl had the baby in prison and was kept it. My friend did eventually find a baby to adopt here in the USA. The first friend adopted 2 little girls from Russia. The reason people go out of the country to adopt is because of the difficulty finding babies here and then the uncertainty for so long about whether you're actually getting to keep the baby.
There are many older children available in the USA. I was looking into doing that but without any child-rearing experience, I felt that it was more than I could handle. Most of them come from drug situations. It amazed me that when they told us that 90% of them were sexually abused. Yet another friend adopted 2 crack babies. They are in their late teens now and fine young men however they still have extremely severe physical problems. One has been through many, many operations.
I ended up not having any children (adopted or otherwise) but I ask that you not judge those parents who adopt from foreign countries.
I don't judge anyone in their decisions in life. Each person has to make their own choices. But adoption like pregnancy is not an over night thing. It takes time. Too many people decide they want a baby and want it now. Instant gratification.
And I don't believe anyone should ever meet the biological parents. At least until the child is ready to make that choice. There's too much emotion involved in the act of giving up their baby.
It's best for everyone involved to make a clean break. I know most bio moms must think about their babies. It's natural. How many keep their babies and realize down the road that it was a big mistake?
There are so many sides to this discussion. It's hard to see them all---unless you go through it!
I just think adoptive parents are special and so are those women who know when it is the right thing to do to let their babies have a better life.
I like the 9 by design show and trust I am sooo over shows about Brats but this is a decent family they care about each other they treat each other with RESPECT. something that was lacking in the Jon and Kate show. the kids are overly Bratty and their houses are cool looking. anyone wonders if FIVE is actually the 5th child for them?
opps the kids are NOT bratty
and I also like the fact they are spirtual without the religion thing attacthed to it. The babys christing as a celebration done in their home by a liberal priest and suzanne vega singing
Yes, they said in one episode that they named him Five because he was the fifth. LOL
