I totally agree with what you are saying here!
I do feel bad for Jon! His wife is a complete control freak.. but we all have to ask ourselves if WE would be controlling if we had 8 children running around, and a husband that isn't always helpful. She has a lot of friends that help, but maybe it's hard that her parents don't help !?( I know if my parents didn't want to be involved with my life cause I had cameras around, Then i would want to stop)
We will see tonight what happens I guess, and hope for the best. I mean it might be hard on them to have all their little arguments caught on tape, personally I would find it quite embarssing to look back on.. especially if their kids want to watch the show when they are older, they have to watch episodes with a lot of screaming and fighting.. and I mean, that could be hard.
I'm trying to think positive in this situation.. They are a beautiful family and they DO have arguments a lot, but no family can be perfect.. my step mom and dad fight.. its part of life! It could be as easy as they just are trying to stop fighting on camera? We have no idea.. TLC could be making the commercial for the episode look MORE intense than it actually is so everyone tunes in!
It'll be hard if they do get divorced, but thats also life too.. a lot of people go through it no matter how big the family is...you can't force yourself to love someone.
So I hope this made sense, :)
I'll make some more comments on this question when I know what the actual episode is about!
