Jon Gosselin wasn't alone in his concerns about raising his eight kids in the public eye. Kate Gosselin's brother, Kevin Kreider, and his wife, Jodi Kreider (Aunt Jodi, if you watched early seasons of Jon & Kate Plus 8), took to the press after witnessing how the children were allegedly treated during filming. Jodi claimed during a 2011 appearance on CBS' "The Early Show" (via HuffPost) that "there were cameras in the children's bedrooms at one point and they were filming all year round." She explained, "These were very huge concerns for us." Uncle Kevin added, "We want to be the voice of our nieces and nephews. We're seeing it turn tide that they're being viewed as a commodity."

The couple said they did speak to Jon and Kate about their concerns, but their complaints allegedly went ignored. "They're very blinded by all of this media and this — you know, the fame and the fortune," Jodi complained.

These concerns might have been why Kevin and Jodi went to court in 2010 to testify at a "legislative hearing on child labor laws" in Pennsylvania, per NBC Connecticut. In response to Jodi and Kevin's allegations, TLC told Radar Online, "The welfare of and respect for anyone on our network is always paramount; and these allegations are either completely inaccurate or a distorted representation for maximum attention. In addition, we have and continue to comply with all regulations from the Department Of Labor."
