Problem here is the Duggers had a house so big, so full of children they were out of control. I’m not against a lot of children mind you but they, Michelle and Jim Bob had no control of the situation.
First they had Josh molesting all the girls. Now they have a lawsuit. All this of running an orderly family was an illusion. They never had control to begin with.
That’s why they had the older kids responsible for the younger ones.
I seem to remember reading something where the older children were caring for and homeschooling the younger ones. I’m not against children helping out in the house and with chores but if you don’t have time for your kids quit banging out more. Your children are not your built-in babysitters and teachers.
