It’s been over three months since I mentioned there would be a Part Two of Jon and Kate Plus Plastic Surgery. Since then I have learned never again to make a promise to a sequel article.

The parents of the Gosselin 8 are so wrapped up in the show, they are missing the forest for the trees. It has been argued by Kate Gosselin that her children love doing the show. It seems like an awful big decision to put in the hands of 5 and 8 year olds whether or not displaying their every day personal interactions and private moments will be something that will come back and haunt them later.

Thanks again for bringing attention to this.
