My 24 yr old daughter still has her bear that her grandmother gave her. He gets smooshed into her pillows at night. He has no more puffs of fur left and he does not even resemble a bear. I can not imagine doing anything so cruel to her when he got dirty. I washed, a dabbed and dried, and has he got older we had a discussion about keeping Art as clean as possible because of his condition. She became so protective of him.
They could make a couple of bedrooms out of one of those living rooms or the playroom- even has a bathroom and kitchen- and use the guest room- the boys seem content in the mancave. Use those screen room dividers.I don't what is in that house room-wise- it looks huge but it seems there is a lot of WOS on the first floor with too many 'common rooms' The house is certainly big enough. But I couldn't believe there is so much clutter in the basement and the bedrooms were very messy with stuff, or 'crap' as Mady said..
Kate is a twit said... 26 I see TLC has already announced that they renewed "My Big Fat Fabulous Life for a second season. They'll film in the spring and air it this summer.
TLC Network @TLC · Feb 10 Have you heard the news? @WhitneyWay will be back for a second season of #MyBigFatFabLife!!! http://ow.ly/ILlSB
No word about Kate though. :::::::::::::::
Interesting. K+8 and Big Fat had pretty much similar viewers and ratings, Kate usually beating Big Fat by a few thousand. They were often the only two shows that appeared on TV by the Numbers top 100.
So Big Fat is renewed and no word on Kate. Maybe Kate is trying to negotiate a Big Fat trip somewhere exotic. If Kate doesn't get renewed and Big Fat does I'd think that would be a huge slap in the face for Kate.
Anonymous said... 169 (Leslie) I didn't watch last night. Did they show Kate's meltdown on the plane ride to Utah where she screamed and cried like a baby because "somebody HAD to"? _________________ They did show for a brief moment Kate crying on the plane along with her kids. And guess what, I think I saw Beth sitting on that every plane. Did anybody see her? ***** Beth was there and left later in the week. Then, Jodi flew into Utah to take over for Beth.
Sue Buddy (4), It will be interesting to see what happens with My Big Fat Fab Life and K+8. A big difference is that Whitney (from BFFL) is probably willing to accept a much smaller paycheck, and doesn't demand as much as Kate. Plus she's probably much easier to work with than Kate (and now several of the kids), plus TLC probably doesn't have to spend so much editing out bad stuff (and then re-editing after episodes are shown) as they do with K+8. There are a lot of good arguments for going with BFFL rather than K+8.
The clip show seemed like a mish mash of 3 second clips, with no rhyme or reason as to why each one was chosen. Not in chronological order. Nor a theme. They tried for themes, but there were so many that it was just a mess. A sign of TFW's incoherent thinking?
The clips were such small snippets that you really didn't get a sense of what was going on, nor did they relate to each other particularly. You certainly didn’t get a sense of how truly horrible she was (and is) to those poor children.
The whole hour was basically TFW talking. And talking and talking. And talking. She must have been in her glory. It was all about her, and she didn’t have to share the spotlight with any of those pesky children. It was all about her.
Growing out of their house? Hahahaha! That is hysterical! I grew up with three brothers in a small house. My mother was as rigid as Kate is. Once in a while, we were allowed to play a board game in the living room, but after our dad stepped on a Lincoln Log in his bare foot, those and Tinkertoys were forbidden there. We were made to play in our rooms. And they were as small as the G kids' rooms. Not only that, they were pristine - we were NOT allowed to leave toys out. When you were done with it, you put it away. By today's standards, we did not have a lot of toys either. But we did have posters and other junk on the walls, knick knacks on the shelf, and we picked out our own bedding. Beds were always made. Always. To this day, I cannot go to sleep in an unmade bed. A special 'play room' with bins and bins of tiny pieces of God knows what AND toys of all kinds thrown everywhere? Hahahaha!!!!
It almost seemed like the choosing of clips was done by someone other than TFW. Whoever it was didn't dare choose the blatantly bad clips, but they did choose clips that didn't make her look particularly good, either. A little needling, perhaps? =========
All of those clips belittled the kids, picked at them, from Hannah's poop accident to Mady's dirty teeth. You think TLC gives a shit about those kids? Nope.
They highlighted all the horrid ones.
And yes, Mady did stick up for Collin, I think she knows right from wrong. But I seriously see so much Kate in her, I can see her doing the same kind of crap to her own kids. Partly because she learned and partly because of the mental issues she has inherited from Kate. They will probably film Mady's intervention, and you think I am joking?? Ha! It is going to happen with more than one of these kids.
Thanks for the info on MBFFL (geeze, what a stupid name). I've never seen it--gave up on TV altogether a couple of months ago--Netflix all the way plus lots of books to read. I hadn't really thought about Big Fat Whitney probably willing to take less money, but it's a good point.
Time will tell. I have to wonder if Kate's frantic Tues. night tweetings and offers to follow her drooling minions, where she always included @TLC, was an attempt to show the network how "ferociously" popular she is (Kate said on one of her shows they were "ferociously" late - egads!)
Yes, she seems to have mentioned outgrowing their house several times in these episodes
Yes! I remember thinking, oh oh, TLC. Guess what you're paying for next!
She always foreshadows. She brought it up 2 or 3 times that the house is too small for them. Foreshadowing. She can't help it. If it's on her brain, it comes out of her mouth.
So either she's angling for it from TLC, or it's already in the works as a filming idea.
Hence the charity? They need to move to wherever to be closer to the charity headquarters? A side benefit being they get a much larger house so that each kid gets their own room?
IMO, it's fairly unrealistic to expect each child to have a private bedroom when you have 8 kids. *Especially* when you're just a single mom, just a piecin' and patchin'.

Yes, TFW brought that on herself, and she should have said no to it. She should have recognized her limits.

She had to show up M&C she said she wasn't going to let them do and she not do it.

Regarding Milo's "girl" slathering peanut butter on her face, it's a fad-ish thingy kids are doing right now; using peanut butter as a facial
Think I hit publish by mistake.
