Similar to Jon and Kate's family, the new [reality-based TV show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-5) stars a Latino family, the Carpios, with two parents and their seven kids. The cameras follow the family's mealtimes and play-times around the hectic city of New York. **Implications** - It's hard to look at a video like this and not imagine the weight, stress, and dismay placed on the shoulder's of parents like this, but it also hammers home the importance of [parental love](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-pray-cry).
