LOL...’anyone criticizing them is emotionally stunted themselves.’ Okay...kinda like libs saying ‘don’t criticize the Messiah.’
Look, on paper they are wonderful; but I have watched their TV show (that they profit from...which is great for their family coffers...) but don’t put yourself, your lifestyle on initmate display (with multiple camera crews in tow) and NOT expect any criticism.
THEY alerted the media about pregnancy 19...they are not being ‘put upon’ by the publicity...they seek it.
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
And what is wrong with that? They have figured out a way to support their huge family. As far as I can tell, none of them have turned to selling crack. And what is wrong with engaging an older child to watch over a younger child? Mama Michelle may be a wonder, but she does not have eyes in the back of her head. My father came from a family of 9 (out of 15 pregnancies) and that is how my grandmother raised them during the Depression era -- all college graduates, responsible, & successful adults -- unfortunately, all deceased now.
Watching after a younger child is called the "buddy system" in the pricey summer camps where the upwardly mobile professionals send their spoiled children for the summer so they can have "me" time.
