The Gosselin Family

Gosselin Family

Gambar keluarga di atas xde kena mengena ngan aku tapi aku dah jatuh cinta ngan kisah keluarga Gosselin ni eversince aku tgk first dokumentari diorg kat Discovery Home & Health Channel of 'Surviving of Twins and Sextuplets'. Aku rasa bukan aku saja suka tgk kisah family diorg ni, ramai lg kot sbb after that first dokumentari, keluar pulak dokumentari kedua and now dah become a reality tv show, Jon & Kate Plus 8 with bape episodes tah kat DHH yg ditayangkan pada hari Rabu kul 9 pm.

Kisah keluarga Gosselin ni jadi tumpuan coz diorg ada anak kembar pompuan yg skrg berumur 7 thn dan KEMBAR 6 ( 3 boys and 3 girls) berumur 3 tahun. Well, actually the twins and sextuplets were not all conceived in natural manner but all thru fertility treatment as the mother, Kate has ovarian syndrome problems. Rupanya dalam treatment 'tabung uji' ni, beberapa telur dan sperma yg telah disenyawakan ( called follicles) di luar akan di tanam kedalam rahim coz possibility utk these 'follicles' berjaya develop didalam rahim amat kurang. Dalam kes Kate, terdapat 7 follicles di tanam, cuma 1 follicle saja gagal berkembang. Meaning she has 6 babies in her belly. Though dr,. cadangkan 'reduction' dilakukan utk mengurangkan jumlah bayi dalam kandungan, this couple refuse to do it and choose to proceed with all six babies. And the beautiful part, the sextuplets are 3 boys and 3 girls....nice number, huh? Kuasa Allah s.w.t....Kate delivered the sextuplets at 26 weeks. Walaupun lahir pramatang, all six babies survived and grow healthily. Semua comel2 belaka.

I think what people impressed with this family, is because they take care all the 8 children on their own. Takde maid, xde parents yg duduk sekali tolong diorg. Jon, the father works (as what I don't know) from7 am to 7 pm. And Kate stays at home to take care the 8 children by herself. But she's one organized person that I've ever met ( I mean thru the her shows that I've watched). Even DHH labels her as super organized mum. Her house looks neat and clean ( if just for one show I believe it's just to show off but the TV crews are there most of them, so it proves that it's her way of living - house must clean). Kate has her own way of organizing life. She labels everything.There's even a chart showing her children's sitting arrangement on the dining table! And her twins also has adopted the organizing habits...how effective! But between all the chaos in the house, she still looks good for a mum of 8 children. When the first documentary came out, the twins were 4 years old and there was a scene where one twin read...so aku tertanya2 bila la masa dia ajar anak2 dia membaca. Dalam episod realiti tv show pulak, now Kate tgh toilet train the 3 girls. It seems dia berjaya train the girls guna potty. Jelesnya aku sbb aku pon penah try nak toilet train kembar tu tapi penat weh, asik bertabur aje n aku asik nak mop lantai. Last2 give up, pakai la diapers balik.

Having twins myself, and remembering the days when they were babies, changing diapers, feeding, bathing, when they were sick and now as toddlers, to handle the fights and all kind of things, I know how much work to do. And with that, multiply the effort three times ( 3 pairs of twins!) and not forgetting the twins girls.... gee...it really requires physical and mental strength. Jon and Kate Gosselin are one tough parents indeed!
