It seems so unhealthy to have these private moments filmed.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not unhealthy for their bank accounts!
DeleteLol! Well at least they are only showing their faces during the actual delivery. Some people don’t mind the whole thing being filmed. I had three kids but never wanted to see that!
DeleteIs it healthy for their children, though?
DeleteThey didnt film Willows birth. They just had a professional photographer there.
Delete@1:09- I am of the opinion that filming children for a reality TV show is not a healthy situation in the long run. For starters, their privacy is sacrificed and they'll be subjected to intense scrutiny and criticism. Our technological world is already fraught with risks and social media land mines. Why invite more stress and possible heartache by making celebrities out of your kids?
DeleteI would say... just leave it up to them to decide whether it is healthy for them and their children... or not. I am positive they know what is best for their family and will follow suit.
DeleteMoney changes people and it has definitely changed this family. It is sad that they don't keep private certain moments. Fame has not served them well except financially.
DeleteThey didn't film the birth, and they didn't show very much other than family visiting after she was born. There were some photos of the labor, but it was very little coverage of a 48 hour labor. If there was going to be some story told on the show, this was a "healthy" way to do it.
DeleteWill it be an hour episode?
ReplyDeleteNot looking forward to the Carlin part. It will be a lot of screaming. Hopefully the birth will be done like Allasa and not Erin's first, more screaming.I will record and skip the drama.
ReplyDeleteCarlin was on her honeymoon in this episode, extremely happy and not one single scream. Squeals, maybe, but no screams.
