Kate is not a good mother to follow (no matter if she had multiples or not). The emotional abuse she was inflicting on Colin was outrageous. Kate is just plain mean!

My grandparents raised 16 children (including two sets of multiples - twins and triplets 16 months apart) and never once has anyone ever heard my grandmother say "I'm exhausted". And she is the kindest woman to children (none of her children have 'horror' stories about Mom taking bears away, etc.) My grandfather worked a full time job and sometimes had 2 jobs to feed a family of 18. No day-to-day help from him. No laundry folders, free babysitters, etc. for Grams and Gramps. And I can remember my grandmother…. still with her apron on… playing softball with a number of her boys in the street after dinner one night. No sitting on a plastic chair in the garage barking orders. She never complained about how small her 3 bedroom house was (there was 3 sets of bunk beds in two rooms while the rest of the kids had bunk beds and slept in the basement).

TLC really needs to focus on a family who is paying attention to the children instead of material things, or on freebies they are receiving.
