Once again, the Daily Mail doing the heavy lifting medi wise from across the pond.
That the girls had to be PROTECTED and isolated from their brothers, by master bedroom suite, office, and prayer rooms speaks volumes. The parents had to PLAN an elaborate labrynthe to keep their daughters safe...Down to NO hide and seek. Wow. Much more I fear to this story.
And if they hadn’t taken these measures, they’d be damned for that. No way to win.
Could all this be due to excessive focus on religion and perfection?
Well I think these parents go to extremes with pretty much every thing they address and their faith practices from what I understand. So I suspect they might see things from that standpoint. So no surprise they went to the lengths they did in designing their home.......after all 19 kids is after all a bit much to keep track of even with all the “safety” measures they’ve obviously placed. But they did choose to have more than “quiver full” now didn’t they.
I don’t fear much in this story other than them making it a media matter is certainly in bad taste on their part IMO.
This was a family matter....and I do believe possible the parents blew it up further by how they handled it....they’ve willingly continued to keep it in the media....so I would suspect any fallout for them was and is anticipated and they believe they can handle that as well.
Open your family up to the world and the media you really are asking for being put under a magnifying glass by whomever will...as well as anyone who wants to get on the gravy train.
‘The parents had to PLAN an elaborate labyrinth_______’
Had to? No they di nt - but they did, sort of.
I don’t know - seems like a reasonable plan to me.
Believe I would put an office in-between the bedrooms. Why not - ?
As for no Hide and Seek - uh oh - we’re in trouble - when our family gathers for the holidays, our 7 grandkids located here, (others in CO) ALways played hide and seek - upstairs and down. For YEARS. In one of our daughter’s home. Any complaints would come from one sibling reporting another about ‘unfair’ hiding - - - + + do I hear a knock at my door - ?
