Kate is truly concerned about providing for her family... Jon complains all the time but hasn't indicated how HE plans to provide for the family. They have 8 children to support and TLC is providing them a way to support the children now and in the future. I hope people who object to this reality show can assist Kate by providing valid suggestions on how Kate can financially support her children since her husband is unable to.
