<p>Can now do sooooo - I, for one, am not chastising any parent who gives their children dance, music, acting or sports lessons, camps, etc. I am one of them! I also gave them expensive private college educations. I could afford it. And my house is divided politically. Conservative, centrist leaning more liberal, leaning liberal and indifferent.</p>
<p>I also know quite a few of the parents I met whose kids where also getting these “lessons” would have given their right arm to get their kids a TV show.</p>
<p>But I do not think June (the mom) can afford all of these “lessons”. So maybe this is her way of trying to better things for her kids. Maybe because of the exposure she will meet people who will educate her about her families eating habit. Maybe she will have enough money to send “Bo Bo” to college.</p>
<p>Ironically, I’ve only actually watched the show once but kind of liked them. I’ve also seen members of their family on other shows. I am rooting for them. And I still think people are overly critical of the family based on-- they’re fat, uneducated and “exploiting” ( according to various standards) their children.</p>
