Tori Spelling has spent the last several months using her reality show, True Tori as a way to try and hash out her plethora of marital problems with Dean McDermott in front of Lifetime's rolling cameras. What's even more uncomfortable is the number of arguments that have been filmed right in front of the couples' four kids -- all under the age of 8. McDermott recently said that he is done with this reality show because he's tired of looking like the bad guy and now it seems that he wants to pull the kids away from those cameras as well.

According to a report by Radar Online, McDermott believes that it's time to stop exploiting the family, in part because his 7-year old son with Spelling has been acting out at school. Even on camera, Liam McDermott has lashed out and some of his behavior has clued viewers in to the idea that he might be a bit difficult to keep in line. McDermott may have an uphill battle with this issue though because up until now, Spelling has insisted on shoving their kids into the spotlight because their fans want to see the entire family and not just her.

Spelling admits to constantly living beyond her means and then filming reality shows based on her family in order to quickly pay the bills. It has prompted her to put all of McDermott's admitted infidelities on full display and in the end, it has made them both look pretty pathetic. Fans and critics of the show alike have spoken out, saying that they felt bad for the chaos that the kids are living in. While Spelling keeps fighting to keep the family together, it's kind of ironic that McDermott is the one now really looking out for the greater good of their kids, don't you think?

Will McDermott be able to successfully put his foot down and keep his children off of his wife's reality shows? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
