I have always believed that the reason millions of people (mostly women, and you know who you are) are so drawn to “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ is because we secretly see some of Kate’s nagging, shrew-like behavior in ourselves. Perhaps we want to assuage our own guilt and find comfort in numbers. Sure, the kids are adorable, but whether we admit it or not, the real attraction of that show is seeing a family struggle and bicker and still seem to thrive and love one another at the end of the day…or so it seemed. As sad a commentary as it is, we as a nation are comforted when we see others struggling with the same everyday problems that we struggle with, and “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ served that up on a silver platter.

About Jill Addeo and KidKupz
KidKupz™ takes the ick out of sick™! The inspired creation of a mother-grandmother team, KidKupz™ provides parents with a safe and easy way of administering liquid medicines – and simultaneously offers children a treat that makes taking medicine enjoyable! This truly unique product was inspired by company president and co-founder Jill Addeo's late stepfather, who was a volunteer on the pediatric floor at a major New York hospital. His work there exposed him to the difficulties children face when taking necessary medication. He spoke often of wishing that he could find a way to make the process easier. In 2006, Jill and her mother, Jo-Ann devised an ingenious way to make his dream a reality: KidKupz™.
