It doesnt matter if you have 1 kid or 20, they should help out with the chores, the everyday stuff, and help out with other people. I have 1 child but i go out of my way to make sure he has to do things to help his friends, clean their rooms etc.. Children need to know it is NOT all about them. There are other people in the world and you help others, you work together as a team to get things done.. and it is the parents primary responsibility but the kids live there too.. its ok to help out. You have to remember also this show is not following them around for every second of their lives. i am sure that when they are around the older kids are helping out more so that michelle and jim bob can do the needed interviews for the show. When all the kids got sick before going to asia, did they sit in jills room and get nurtured? no, the parents sat up all night with them like they should. If you arent giving your kids chores and making them help out with younger siblings you will probably raise a selfish person.

There are alot of comments about the girls love what they do and choose to do it and lots of comments that they don't have a life. I do agree with both sides. This family does have a choice and right to raise their children as they see fit. We also have a choice to have our opinions whether it be + or -. I don't think everyone should only say positive things. This family is putting themselves in the limelight thus asking for whatever comes their way. I don't think one should attack people who comment negatively as long as it is not hateful. There is such thing as constructive criticism and this family is no exception to the rule of needing it as well. <br />I agree with Andrea, these girls have no choice. They know nothing other than their home life. They love it cause that is what they were raised to believe and do not know any different. Seriously, watch the show and the comments. The comments they say are said basically after one of the parents have already made that comment. They are not original. They are mimicked. They were raised and trained to obey and not question parental authority. I know the parents say the girls choose to wear skirts. Don't tell me the girls have a choice. If mom and dad say that is what we are going to buy, they do not have a choice. I don't see anything wrong with parent's saying they are going to do chores, they are going to wear skirts, they are not going to watch TV, ect. But what I personally have a problem with is saying the girls have a choice, when they really do not have a choice--they do not know the other end of the spectrum, thus they do not have a choice. When they leave the nest, they will have a choice. Unless they end up marrying a man who does not give them the choice-which we will never know. I just think the parents are making it very hard for the girls to actually leave the nest, thus not giving them the opportunity to choose. That is the way these parents have decided to raise their children and that is their right. Praise God -and our great nation and those who have served--that they have that freedom and everyone else has the freedom to raise their children as they see fit.Paulanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-5486298786432485262012-02-17T15:08:33.022-06:002012-02-17T15:08:33.022-06:00Andrea:

That's not the point. You mention, if the oldest Duggar girls wanted to leave they could. Where exactly will they go? I mean they don't have an education, job skills or money of their own. They don't have a church to turn to, as we know, they belong to a home church. Nor do they have school mates to whom they can turn. Where do you go? A homeless shelter? The welfare office? Seriously, those girls are trapped!!! Thier best hope is a University education, if their parents will pay the price tag and give up their help. It's very, very sad.Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-63349908461334362822012-02-16T16:26:19.082-06:002012-02-16T16:26:19.082-06:00Hi bluegrass,

To answer your question, the Duggars focus on positive reinforcement. They don't yell or hit, but if the kids don't listen, there are consequences (timeouts, for example). Jim Bob and Michelle's goal is to praise their children ten times more than they correct.<br /><br />Hope this answers your question.<br />~Lily and EllieLily and Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941253435533935093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-79375818085010897482012-02-15T18:24:44.211-06:002012-02-15T18:24:44.211-06:00Michelle can you send me all paper to help me to t...Michelle can you send me all paper to help me to tech my kids like you do yours I need help I'm trying to them the right way can you help me please...kathies42@gmail.comkathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138781870546480510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-44372269003264960082012-02-15T18:12:23.154-06:002012-02-15T18:12:23.154-06:00I love Michelle and Jim bob family the way they lo...I love Michelle and Jim bob family the way they love there children and touch them to love one another and love god they are so helpful to everyone..... kathiekathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138781870546480510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-62963853370676153112012-02-15T18:07:55.140-06:002012-02-15T18:07:55.140-06:00Could you tell me when the bates start up again???...Could you tell me when the bates start up again???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-32651617876612344532012-02-15T15:52:42.185-06:002012-02-15T15:52:42.185-06:00It was a great show and it looks like the season w...It was a great show and it looks like the season will be very bittersweet!Libbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-54938900061798796512012-02-15T15:48:51.466-06:002012-02-15T15:48:51.466-06:00I hope you will post this comment lily and ellie. ...I hope you will post this comment lily and ellie.

I guess they decided to go ahead with showing Michelle and the pregnancy even though we know the sad ending of the pregnancy.<br /><br />Did anyone else notice how tired her obstetrician looked on this episode? <br /><br />Jim Bob is not used to taking care of all of those little ones. I grew up helping out a lot in the house and always loved to help my mom in any way possible. I think it's wonderful to see children learn to cook and clean. It's sad that many children these days are catered to so much that they don't know how to do laundry, handle money, cook and clean.Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-21916769842777750812012-02-15T14:20:51.015-06:002012-02-15T14:20:51.015-06:00why watch a show that makes you want to comment ne...why watch a show that makes you want to comment negatively?
