Well, thank goodness for THAT! As far as I’m concerned, this family is everywhere as it is. Be it television interviews, Trista going on about “The Bachelorette” and photo montages in magazines… They’re a tad annoying. But that’s just me.

Just because they don’t have a show doesn’t mean they aren’t receiving freebies or payments for doing interviews and the occasional special. I mean true, neither of us knows what their financial situation was or what it would have been, but I don’t think its that far fetched that on just kates salary or even a combination that they could qualify for food stamps(Even if they’re making 100,000 a year before taxes, they’re still a 10 person household). It was just my opinion.

and Lis, I completely agree they should have gotten out of it years ago. Kate is clearly trying to turn herself into a brand and its definitely not about the kids or surviving anymore. With her books, and the amount they get per episode and the free stuff I’m sure they’ve made millions of dollars of the charade already.

Lizzielui – I agree. And I really commend Trista and Ryan for turning down those offers…I’m sure it wasn’t chump change they were turning away…

And Anon – I agree with you to some extent. Jon and Kate were given a great opportunity to earn some financial stability. I understand why they did it. However, they should have saved the money and ended the show a YEAR ago – right as they were becoming more recogonizable, and BEFORE all the chaos began. Now they are just being selfish and greedy.

Kait, I am currently doing acupuncture for the pain of endo. It is helping tremendously! I am not trying to get pregnant – just get rid of the pain so I can have a productive life. (I didn’t mention that I have two children so it can happen!)

“kinda feel like jon and kate picked the better of two evils. If they had to raise 8 kids san reality show they’d probably be on welfare.”

Kate has a nursing degree, and Jon had a steady job before he got fired for soliciting freebies on company time. So I think without the show they would have been okay financially, maybe not wealthy like they are now. But I doubt they would have been on welfare. Nurses make a good income. The Dilley’s raised 6 without a show, The McCaugheys (sp?) are raising 8 without a show. I don’t buy for a second Jon and Kate’s excuse that they have to do the show to support their family.

As someone who got pregnant all too easily, I can see why Essure appeals to moms who don’t want any further pregnancies. My tubal ligation 14 years ago was VERY painful; had Essure been available, I’d have done it.

I’m with you jacquiej, hearing about the Ensure procedure made me cringe. I am 21 years old and have stage four endometriosis and have been told it will be very difficult for me to concieve because my tubes are so scarred. Not posting to be nasty about Trista or anyone else who chooses to have this procedure, just kind of makes me feel sick to hear about someone choosing to scar up their tubes.

I do wish them the best.
