Has anybody ever seen Malcolm In The Middle episode where Lois got a rebate coupon for a family portrait and took her family to have a picture taken?
She put them in nice clothes, all washed and made up, and while at the photo centre the boys of course started fighting with each other, messing up their hair and the clothing,
and finally Lois yelled I WANT TO HAVE A NICE FAMILY PICTURE ALL TOGETHER FOR THREE SECONDS, WITH SMILES --- NOW!!!!
Click, flash, they got their "happy family" picture taken in a blink of the eye, indeed all smiles looking happy and close together, and immediately after that the boys resumed their fights
This is what I think of "whole, happy family" of Duggars.
you remind me of Joan Crawford and her 4 adopt children. Have you watch the movie "Mommie Dearest"?
Someone should stay at Duggar's home everyday 7 days per weeks and 24 hours then they will know more...
To me, I can tell from older children's expression... looked really miserable... Sure, they were smiling but they were forced smile.
I have read their websites and learn about them. All what I read is Bob & Michelle talked about their dreams, no even talk about their children's dream...It's sad that nobody notice it.
Agreed!
I stand my POV that none of older siblings should be responsible for their younger siblings... I'm sorry. Children should be allowed to be children instead of being forced to dress, change their diapers, feed them and plus parents to their siblings for 7 days and 24 hours, cook, clean, and plus discipline their siblings etc...NO!!!
I felt it's unfair to make the older children have to play house because their mother are busy to breed more babies and then pass their babies to the older siblings because of another new addition a year later and on and on the cycle goes. How about letting children have their own dreams and enjoy their life before they settle down with responsiblity. To me, those children are slaves. No even hanging out with friends, learning, growing, dreaming about what you'll be when you grow up etc.
Some of you think this is a normal family, try to think back to your teenage years... Were you able to go out with friends, join sports, just sit in the yard and daydream, lay on your bed and write in a diary, read a good novel? OR did you change diapers, teach the younger children their school lessons, cook every day, do laundry for 18 people, get up and go to bed at exactly the same time as the younger kids, and share a room with them as well...while your mom popped out one baby after another? Which would you prefer?
And where are the jeans and t-shirts and playclothes? What children feel comfortable in look-alike dresses and dress clothes every day?
Sure, my children learn about responsible and chores... but I do not expect them to learn about their marriage, etc. but learn to enjoy their responsiblity, etc and know what right or wrong... Plenty of time for them to enjoy their life before get married and raise the children.
Exactly!!!
I don't think they're doing the best for their kids. I don't care if they're debt-free, that doesn't make a good home life and those kids are going to get a slap in the face when they go into the real world ... if they do.
If they have plenty of money then hire Nanny, laundry lady, maids....then... Why can't they then?
Why should they? They're happy living the way they do. They are living their lives, not your life. They don't tell you how to manage your family, and you don't tell them how to manage their family. That's fair enough.
