I agree with Bzybee on what appears to be a "groupthink" mentality among this family. We are close to a family with 12 children (9 adopted from DCF) and the children are all encouraged to dress and think and act according to their own tastes (within family boundaries). There isn't one duplicated outfit in the bunch, even with a set of twins. I think children from large families should be encouraged to attempt to step out of the mold as opposed to blending in, which is the easy road. However, I will say that this family seems to be genuinely happy, even in what people perceive as ignorance about the outside world or stolen childhoods. Happy families aren't as easy to find these days as they once were.
Thankfully we live in a free country where people can have as many kids as they want, dress them how they want, pursue whatever religion they choose, and people can choose to disagree with how other people raise their children.
