User post: Would You Consider Putting Your Family on a Reality TV Show?

Anna Nicole did it. John and Kate Plus 8 have done it. Denise Richardson, The Osbournes, The Hogans and The Lohans have all had their time on screen. Octo-mom wants to do it.

How about yourself? Would you put your most intimate moments on screen for others to watch, laugh at and critique?

I have actually had people tell me my family should be on a reality show.. um... NO! You think I want someone with cameras in my house watching me wake up in the morning, get the kids off to school and watch the attitude of a preteen and her sisters. I think I'll keep some of my life private. Isn't that your private life?

How about you? Why or why not?

    I would not, no. Somedays I cant even tolerate the drama myself let alone make someone else have to watch it, yes some things are private and I hate to see people in private matters expolited.

    Well i agree with both points of views because i do like to be alone most of the time, privacy is my best friend...but i also would want people to see my life story so i would do it if they allow me some time to myself sometimes (i dont think it would bother me all that much!!!!

    Great Post:)

    I don't think I would. It would be X rated if I did!

    Okay, shall we?

    Anna Nichole? Trainwreck.

    The Gosselins? Not the kids themselves, but the parents are a trainwreck waiting to happen.

    Denise Richards? Yikes.

    The Hogans? Good lord.

    The Lohans? You are kidding, right?

    The Osbournes are the least insane/trainwreckish of the bunch. And yet.

    In short - no way in hades would I subject my family to such a thing.

    there is nothing real about reality shows...they get paid to act a certain way in front of the camera, don't u know that. its all a pr stunt to get ratings on which ever channell it happens to airing on. geez, they couldn't pay me enough to get on tv and act an a$$ for all the world to see...just not worth it.

    It is ridiculous and it is a ratings maneuver. I would never subject my family to the dramas of reality show/scripted show. We have enough going on already to be worried about that mess. Raising kids is hard enough as it is........
