My response referred to the parents, not the children. I said that there is no reason for the parents to hire nannies and maids if they're happy with the way they're doing things.

I see, of course if you reffer to the parents I would too assume they are most likely happy living their life the way they want.

I haven't read anything where the parents said that they aren't happy with the way they have their lives set up, or that they want to change the way they manage their family

If I was boasting about having baby after baby for 17 years I wouldn't admit I am unhappy or whatehever either.. I am sure I don't have to explain why.

The parents don't complain about not having nannies or maids, so why should they hire some?

Why indeed - if they have their own children to do this for free.

There are also normal people in this world who are generally happy with their lives without being subjected to brainwashing.

yes of course, except most of these people live in normal families - no polygamy, no underage marriages, and on average 2-3 children in one family.
Neither Bountifil nor Duggars is average or even anywhere close to average.

Or they might actually be happy--it does happen.

I sure can not contradict you here. Neither of us have any proof if these children are happy or unhappy. Personally I doubt they are truly happy.

A family doesn't necessarily have to be a 100 percent, 24/7/365 "rosy" picture in order to be a wonderful family. I don't know any, do you?

No, not 24/7356 but the difference between Duggars children and other families is exactly that the Duggars have to work in their own family 24/7/365
whereas children in all families I know don't.
