“They are achieving the exact opposite effect with their hypersexualized focus on kids and isolating them inside the family. I do not want to blame his parents unnecessarily, but I don’t think this is wise.”
I so agree. I also don’t like the Duggar’s parenting style. They would have a baby, baby after baby and teach the older kids to look after the younger kids. That is NOT being a parent. Because while they thought Josh was “looking after” his younger siblings he was helping himself sexually to them. By the time the parents found out it was too late, why? Because they were not parenting.
I’m not saying it’s a bad thing for older kids to look out for younger one, I’m just saying parents still need to parent ALL their kids. Know what I mean?
I, too, feel that the job of the parents is to care for their own children and not put another child in charge of the younger ones.
They are portrayed as this role model for large and homeschooling families. When the cameras are off, nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors.
