I can't help but put myself in their position ... imagine having two kids, getting pregnant with six more (at the same damn time) and then realizing you'll have no way to support your family. TLC comes knocking and offers up $ ... would anybody here honestly not accept that offer?
People like to say "why aren't they doing this? They're so selfish and lazy!". For Christ sake people, it's a reality show. Does anybody feel like they are actually getting the whole story from a reality show and the tabloids? Who's to say they haven't given it a try?

They've made enough money from the show that they don't have to continue doing this. Why not stop and use that time to fix the marriage?
Jon has said on many occassions that he's had enough of being in the spotlight and wants out. Yet Kate is sooooo into her book tours and showcasing her kids to the rest of the world that she doesn't want to end the show. She loves the fame and fortune and won't let go.
