I am in love with the Gosselins.
I watched Season 1 and 2 and finishing 3. And I really enjoy all the 20-odd minutes per episode. It makes me laugh and go awwww-so-cute with all the kids. My favourites have to be Leah, Alexis and Collin. But I like every single one of them. I like that they all have different personalities and are so close-knit. Cutie little pies! I can't wait to see them grow up and see what happens to them in the future.

Something that always goes through my mind is, what I would do if I had a child like Mady. I don't know how to handle her. She's so horribly temperamental and while she can be nice (sometimes), she's pretty mean most of the times. And how would you bring up a child like that so that she doesn't turn out a bad person. How do you help her, to nurture her, into someone perhaps able to control her tempers and taking out her temper on others (violence!).

The rest of the kids are pretty well-behaved though. I hope to be able to tell them to go to a time-out corner and they'll go and just sit there until they are released from their punishment. And I think it's super cute that they hug and kiss almost everyone when someone is leaving. That's just so cute. I would like to do that with my kids, though I'm not too sure how things will work out especially in our still pretty conservative Asian society where people don't like to be touched too much. Haha. Even hugs and kisses. It's probably okay when they're kids but they might not understand when they grow old and they can't hug and kiss their friends and people might think they're taking advantage of others blah.

I'm actually starting to have mixed feelings about having kids. I think most of my friends will know that I can't wait to get married and have babies and be a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom). But now, with all the craziness in the society, I have doubts whether I'll be a good mom and whether I can bring up my kids to be good people. It's really not easy with all the influence from everything nowadays. And you can't possibly keep your kids at home and home-school. I don't know how it works either but I don't think home-schooling is really prevalent in our society.

Oh well. Still many years to ponder over 'to have babies or not. that's the question'.
