It was the end of summer on Kate Plus 8 Season 4 Episode 6 last night, which meant the eight Gosselin kiddos getting ready for school.
If you watch Kate Plus 8 online, you know it’s more about the kids growing up and Kate trying to stay sane these days than anything.
Contrast that with back in the day, when it was the weekly castration of Jon Gosselin and myriad tabloid scandals that drove ratings.
It’s a positive change, if a less dramatic one.
Naturally, continuing a theme seen in previous weeks, Cara and Mady are indignant as usual about back to school shopping … and life.
You won’t believe how much they’ve grown.
Seriously, check out the Gosselin kids then and now and be shocked at how big the sextuplets are. As for the twins? HIGH SCHOOL.
Sorry, we’re just not over this as you can tell.
Kate jokes, not inaccurately, that back to school shopping with her boys takes 30 seconds and shopping with her girls takes 30 days.
As for how you possibly shop for EIGHT kids?
“Being fair wastes money,” Kate says, in defense of the fact that just ’cause your sibling gets something, you won’t be getting it too.
For once, Gosselin likely won the praise of social media for both a sound parenting strategy and financial responsibility. It’s win-win.
Life isn’t fair and even reality stars (at least ones not named Kim Kardashian) have limited budgets. This is reality. Let the kids learn.
