More on Kate's interview.
Is she exploiting her kids? This is a valid question but her answer is the martyr approach about bedrest during the pregnancy. She would never put them in harms way, but I have to disagree with this point. Giving up so much privacy, and growing up with media scrutiny can be harmful. I guess a few years down the road we'll see how the kids respond to those sorts of questions.
She says it's laughable that they've been accused of setting out to be celebrities and use the show as their paycheck. I agree with her on this, but somewhere along the way it changed and it did become their paycheck. Was there not forethought of planning for beyond the show? Obviously the show cannot go on forever.
Stepping out of the spotlight isn't an option because they're too far gone? I think she means that they didn't plan for the show to end and they are dependent on the show income. She recognizes the curse of all the bad stuff that goes with the show - paparazzi, media, negative attention etc - but still can't see that those same things could also be curses for her kids.
