Wow!!! So many awful things said about this lady. Criticizing her and saying how bad of a mother she will be.

She gives her children so much love, has taught them to respect, love and appreciate others. She didn't exploit her children. She's doing a great job with all of them...... that's what I call a great mother❤❤

[@0r0r0]

A very rigid way of teaching about emotions 😅But whatever works 🤷‍♀️

[@blckbrdfly7675]

She has a college degree and works as a counselor for drug and alcoholic addiction.

[@MADEbySOUL]

@@0r0r0 I mean it is a good way to teach multiple children at once. Other parents who have one or two can perhaps organically segway these lessons. But in this case, these children need to be taught and have repetition so they can properly execute it within the home. Having 7 brother and sisters could make even using the restroom and sharing living spaces hectic.

[@user-sf9gs2pg1b]

@@freebee8221 true, lots of the time parents that have that many kids emotionally neglect some or all of the kids due to lack of time. Sometimes kids have to act as parents to their siblings as well. I think having above a certain amount of kids (assuming they're all being taken care of by two parents and none have left the house or are 18+) is ethically wrong.

[@lapassurs5383]

In the beginning they made her out to be a woman who couldn’t raise her kids. I remember she no longer wanted the Nannie’s or extra help. They all wanted a story to tell. Her children look very happy and have been out the news. Kate and John have had so many failures they decided to make public. Kates daughters had even said in interviews they don’t like their mom. Kate was never a good mom. She treated her kids the same as she did John.
