You sure seem to have a visceral hatred of this family. I don't see why they deserve such vitriol. The last time I checked this was still a free country. They *chose* to have these children, they are NOT on the public dole. The children are well-behaved and seem close to one another.... No smirky, eye-rolling by the teenagers. Sure they make money on their TV show - SO WHAT? Why is that so terrible. They are showing most of America a different lifestyle than they are used to seeing. They may inspire someone to change a few things in their own household.
I only have 2 children , so I'm not "like" the Duggars but fail to see why they should suffer such criticism when there are so many other parents who are doing such dreadful jobs with their families. JMO
No...no ‘visceral hatred’ (hyperbole much/) just a candid critique of their TV show. Sorry...but I don’t think making your kids a ‘cottage industry’ and alerting the media (’hey, ABC...number 19 is on the way’) is any different (other than their conservative political ideology) than the Goselins; or even Octomom. They are ‘selling’ their kids lifestyle as a commidity.
Writing a book (no TV camera crew camped out in house) and extolling the virtues of their lifestyle...perfect. They profit (though not as much); and they get their beliefs, ideals and how to logistics ‘out there’ for like minded families to learn from. Having a camera crew do a close up of your 14 year old daughter as she struggles with heavy stock pots for lunch for 18 doesn’t leave any better impression (to me) than Kate Gosslin lamenting her ‘control’ issues.
