I love this show. I'm an step dad to 3 kids and I must say that this show is about as real as reality gets. In my opinion the children all seem to be very bright. They all have separate identities, which is great. Too many times I have seen parents of multiples go to the extremes in naming kids variations of the same name and dressing them the same. Its very refreshing to see kids being kids and parents allowing it. As far as Jon I understand his plight he is a husband and husbands must know how to pick their fights. Men who come here and have negative comments about Jon obviously have never been married. It takes a very secure and confident man to do what Jon is doing and not being bothered by what his wife does. In my opinion Kate is no different from any other wife, most women have some type OCD and is insecure
