Blended Family Reality Show?

Our family is in the "final 5" to be selected for a reality show that would be on MTV. My kids are struggling- do we really want to be on a reality show? It would be fun, but does the world really need to see our day-to-day events? We haven't decided yet- but we'll take a family vote (of adults and 5 kids) in the next 1-2 days, and let the producer know. What do you think we should do?

  1. Well- the kids voted and we agreed to do the interview. It was a telephone call, along with some video taping. As the day approached, several of the kids had some second thoughts and decided it wasn't such a good idea to participate in a reality show- after all.

    We've grown so much since our first days as a new blended family. Those days had a lot of conflict and tears. We've moved along and are getting used to each other and are functioning as a family. The kids don't want to back track- and I don't blame them.

    We contacted the producer and respectfully withdrew from the process. Well... it will make a nice story to tell our friends, but what's most important is that our blended family is doing what's best for us.
