The Unknown, and Laudable, Osbourne
Sharon and Ozzie Osbourne have three children, although you only see two on the reality show. The eldest, I think it is a daughter, has chosen NOT to be on the show.

All congratulations to her. I hope she is enjoying her time out of the limelight. It is good to see someone choosing NOT to get the embarrasment and hyperattention of reality TV.

We have constructed a feedback loop that is very dangerous: we are showing people how to act by these reality TV shows, and we may not be upholding the highest possible aspirations. Be careful what you watch: it influences more than you may realize.
