This is not more TMI compared to watching A Baby Story and House of Babies on TLC. They show live births. I don't think it is wrong if she chooses to have this live for everyone to see. The only concern I have is when the child is older to view his/her own birth knowing the world has access to it.

YES!

I don't get people- you can sit and watch every rubbish reality show on tv but when a woman want to televise her birth it becomes tmi...please- its actually real and beautiful- I'd want to see more home births with midwives and doulas!!

We live in such interesting times....

...or strange times depending on how you look at it!

How about not using the "what is wrong with the child" perspective & instead following the "what can the teacher do to help the child" approach? All kids can benefit. Punishment doesn't help the kid meet goals.

Is this for REAL???????
What country--Russia???

"UNLIKE"!! this is sooo sad... she doesnt get to be a kid herself... how can u be a good mom if u haven't been a kid 1st... i agree with Tiff for sure ...

yes it is. but it's still fun.

Sounds like a lot of the complaints were about other consumer's practices (not eating apples, just tossing them on the ground) and about their own overbuying practices. Not about the location itself. And, no matter how cheezy the entertainment, were your kids happy? or bored? I think they hit the nail on the head when they said this sort of thing is for your kids to make great memories with.

I grew up in Michigan and I don't remember ever having to pay for apple picking. REal apple picking involves going out to the orchard and having fun selecting your very own basket of apples and then gobbling up cider donuts and cider at the end. I have only discovered the "pay for the fun" thing as I've moved to bigger cities - they nickle and ... See Moredime you to death. But I enjoyed every bit of it and will continue the tradition every fall. Also, people who pick and throw out suck. Bad manners & wasteful and they are teaching their kids the same. it isn't the farmer's fault this happens, it's the patrons.
