Marriage and Fertility
Posted on June 30, 2009
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.
P.S. Thanks to RESOLVE for posting a link to this article via Facebook.

I never thought of it from that point of view. Thank you for again bringing up a point of view that most people don’t think about.
I think the author makes an excellent point.I did not know they conceived through iui’s. I think the entire ordeal is a shame. The show was fun. It was nice to watch the kids grow up. But it wasn’t a show it was their life and nothing documented on tv for that long is going to end well.
You shared a beautiful post about my book The Mom I Want to Be, and I wanted to thank you.
