Jon and Kate Plus Eight: What Will the Children Think?

Jon and Kate Plus Eight is a popular reality television show aired on The Learning Channel that features Jon and Kate Gosslin and their eight children. The show chronicles the day to day life of the Gosslen family and the challenges Jon and Kate face as they raise two sets of multiples which are twin girls who are currently seven years and old and sextuplets who are currently four years old. On the show, you see good moments and bad, meltdowns and milestones all centered around the children.

My question is this: what will the children think when they are older? I even wonder what they think now. At this point, having cameras follow them around probably seems like a normal thing for the children, especially the sextuplets who may not even remember the day when there was no film crew in their house.

Years down the line, when the Gosslen children are in middle school, high school, college, and adult hood what are they going to think? Will they be ok with the fact that so much of their early years are on film or will they resent their parents for sharing so many of those early, intimate moments with the world? Will they be embarrassed or teased because of it or will it give them a semi celebrity status? Will all the children pretty much feel the same way or will the feelings vary among each child individually?

Who knows what the future holds for the Gosslen family or what the Gosslen children will one day think about having had their own reality show but it will be interesting to watch and find out.
