As a woman growing up with a single mother, I can see firsthand how hard it is for women to make it in this world. I love the show Kate Plus 8 because it depicts the true story of a mother just trying to provide for her kids without the assistance of a man. I love watching this show every chance I get on the channels I get through the cable tv deals around Dallas.

"Kate Plus 8" offers a truly poignant look into the life of Kate Gosselin. She is a woman that has had to deal with a cheating husband, all while having 8 kids. It is very inspiring to see how Kate deals with such a tough situation in front of millions of people. I know some people claim that she uses her kids for fame or making money, but I don't think it is like that. I think Kate's intentions are to provide a future for her kids and make sure they are always provided for. According to her ratings, I would think that many other women in the world think Kate's intentions are also to provide for her children rather than use them for her own fame or gain in life.

Kate Gosselin is a wonderful woman with a huge heart. Can you imagine raising 8 kids by yourself without the help of a spouse? I sure can not imagine that!
