I'm against itMy Review
This is the most disturbing and disgusting show I have ever watched! Not only is it unnatural to subject 1 and 2-year-olds to this kind of life, but the way the children are allowed to act toward their own parents is absolutely appalling. They are over-indulged, spoiled, dragged around from city to city, from airport to airport -- past the point of being exhausted -- all to satisfy some unfulfilled desire in the parents. Oh, and let's not forget the money!
The older children act so-o-o-o-o unnatural! I sat and watched, and could do nothing except shake my head in sadness and horror. These children will be completely disconnected from other children their age, because perfection is expected from them, and they grow to expect perfection from themselves. Narcissism reigns supreme. One little girl stated that if she didn't win, "I will get really upset and I might throw a temper tantrum -- you never know." This one actually rules the roost in her home, and demands -- DEMANDS -- that her mother be perfect, just as she herself tries to be perfect! The parents are the ones to blame here, but that's another story.
As far as describing the pros of this series, there are none. The cons, well, there are so many that I can't list them all. I see no reason to recommend the show to anyone.
