Everyone has an opinion about John and Kate’s divorce announcement. I only watched the show once or twice. It seemed that Kate was not the nicest person and I just didn’t get into watching them manage their lives as I have my own issues and stresses to deal with. Many people believe that the cameras destroyed their marriage. I’m sure that played a big part. Their standard of living also changed, sometimes this can create conflict, even when the finances are no longer a struggle.

But I do like the message in this article from the Washington Post, John and Kate Plus Health Care. The stress of high-multiples is something that you can only truly appreciate if you have them. Many couples think they would welcome twins, or even triplets into their family. But can you imagine 6 babies at once? As sleep deprived and stressed out as I was with just twins, I cannot even fathom how a couple can manage quads or sextuplets.

Do you think insurance coverage would make the impact the author is suggesting? I do think there is some truth to her message/opinion.
