Eight adorable kids, one seemingly miserable mom, and one dad gone wild, “It might be a crazy life,” but as Jon and Kate Gosselin remind viewers before each episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” it’s theirs.

Until recently, that introductory info also included the vow, “we’re in it together,” but as anyone who’s picked up a tabloid in the last few months knows, things change. And people change. And public opinion about certain people changes, too. Which is why fans, who for four seasons watched a controlling Kate scowl, grump and snap her way to a bad reputation, suddenly have some sympathy for the reality TV mom.
