Depends on what level of lifestyle you want for the kids. Lot's of jobs would provide Rio slum level support. Not too many would supply enough for US poverty level,and very few would provide enough for a normal childhood as experienced by middle class Americans. But this is irrelevant, since it is my understanding that the parents force the children to care for the other children kind of like a 19th century child labor sweatshop, but rather than manufacturing things the child labor is directed in providing care for younger children. What a sh!tty childhood.
You're right, they should grow up without responsibilities, and get to spend all of their time like rest of America's children, self-indulging in TV, video games, Little League, soccer, karate, etc etc etc. and having their parents serve them.
Today's children are turning out to be such winners, right?
The family came to a church I attended a couple of years ago. The kids seem very smart and well-educated and seems they all love each other. I can’t imagine having 20 kids but really it’s none of my business. They support them and are a wonderful Christian family. Personally, though, I think it’s just very weird.
I agree, doesn’t sound that great. I’ve never watched the show though, so I don’t know. The only reality show I watch is the local news in the morning, or I just wake up.
Oh My G*D. Having to take care of your younger brother or sisters! What a crime against humanity! Send out Holder and the DEA. This travesty must be stopped. Give their kids to some nice, normal welfare moms who will send them to government sanctioned day care (schools) and wall to wall electronic media. Or better yet, find some gay or lesbian couples who will take them in, and provide an even better education (sic) for them.
Then they will grow up to be just like you.
Oh my. Heaven forbid that those kids be taught how to care for one another and their home, and be true family members by loving parents in the kind of learning enviroment God intended.
Society started it’s downward spiral when chores and helping with younger siblings disappeared and television and video games entered the home.
Today’s child rearing methods are worthless. The Duggar kids are very blessed and they know it.
Have you watched to see what all those kids get to do? You never had so much fun.
What a shi**y attitude. The kids are well adjusted and well mannered. Much more than you can say for much of the youth today. They’re being taught responsibility, too. Which I understand the world often equates with child abuse these days. God bless...
