I love TV shows about multiples. Multiple children, multiple wives, large families. I am fascinated with them.
It started with Jon and Kate Plus 8. Although I wasn't a fan of the parents the idea of that many kids just gets my attention all the time. Then I discovered Big Love. The idea of that many families joined together just peaked my interest. Then came watching Sister Wives, Quints by Surprise, and The Dargers.
TLC has recently started showing re-runs of Quints by Surprise and I forgot how much I liked that show / family. They appear to be (key there) a family that has not fallen apart due to all the stress of multiples. They seem to make sacrifices to better their family. And dang, the kids are just so cute.
And I LOVE the Darger family and their outlook. I am intrigued by their faith, lifestyle and the way they do it.
But as I look at my little family I wonder - how insane would it be to have multiples of anything? Do I like watching it because it's on TV and far away from my reality? Or do I like watching it because I wish it was my reality?
