[TheyCallMeMom]

Ok this has been on my mind all day.. And It shouldnt be..

Several comments made above were rude and inconsiderate not only to the Duggars, but to many women on this board who have large homeschooing families, including myself..


The older kids are not "raising" the kids.. The parents have an obvious role in all thier childrens upbringing.. Maybe its ones inability to parent the small family they have, maybe its just plain ignorance to large families.. I dont know anything about those who made those comments.. But its what I have experience from others who have made similar comments to myself directly.. But to think that a mother of a large family "does nothing" because her children contribute to the household, is absurd..

From what I have seen those children are well loved, level headed children who will be a great contribution to our adult society...

I would like to see more families like them portrayed on tv... Because I for one would take the "odd life" ( as you so call it) of the Duggars over a Desperate Housewives or Brittney and Lindsey lifestyles that teen and adults alike are glamorizing..
