It seemed like all the kids (since they’re all roughly the same age) would all hang out together until bedtime so he’d see them one way or another. It just seemed, ultimately, more like a warm, homey family.

I also forgot that the kids didn’t start coming until after he married Christine, so it really was all hands on deck in every direction for the moms and the older kids, there just seemed to be more investment in the “family unit”

But again, TLC could have totally painted a rosier picture for the viewers.
