1) you live in your parents’ home. Fair enough that they be concerned.
2) are you interested in them dating on and off for years? As for cohabitation, it’s your parents’ home. Their rules. If they want you to move on and get your own home, even if rented, that’s fine with me. IMHO, the decision of whether or not you marry shouldn’t be indecisive for a while. Take the risks, move on.
3) Or did they just take the risks as young adults, and move forward? I personally am married , got married at 27, and we chose to have the children soon . The older Duggars children could have chosen to wait if they wanted to. However, likely given what they were used to growing up with, which wasn’t much for each child individually, I doubt many of them would be bothered by the prospect of living in a rented home with children not to mention having not so many toys for the children either. I doubt any of the children will choose to have 19 children.
There is concern, then there’s control. ADULTS do not need to be chaperoned or monitored. That’s just plain nutty. If you have raised your children with morals and values then you should not worry about them. And even if they DO decide to have sex that is THEIR choice because they are ADULTS.
If they want to move into their OWN HOME then they should be free to make that choice because they are grownups.
The Duggar daughters have no choice when it comes to getting married and having numerous kids. They have been trained to be the subservient broodmare who does what their husbands tell them to do. This is what Christian Patriarchy is all about. Look it up if you don’t believe me.
Again, they are showing what they want you to see. It’s called ‘editing’. Reality TV is hardly real.
