Where do you find this stuff?

A friend of mine used to have a life-sized cutout of a Korean Air stewardess in his toilet. She was always smiling and gesturing at you while you sat on the toilet tryig to ignore her. I'm thinking he should have had that instead

The only people who don't help to raise their siblings are only and youngest children. I'm the eldest of four. I started running to fetch diapers for my first younger sister when I was 1-1/2. I was washing bottles and folding diapers for the youngest by the time I was 6. And those weren't my only jobs.

Was it fun? Not always. But it's part and parcel of belonging to a family. And I think it's a big part of why I have a decent work ethic today.

isn't that what families are supposed do...take care of each other...help each other...nurture each other...I'd dare say that those kids have a strong sense of kinship with their siblings because of their family dynamic...much stronger than you'll find in an average family...

do you really think that the mom & dad just fuck and preach while leaving the kids to their own devices??

as wonky as their beliefs may be to me, it certainly works for them and has little to no affect on anyone outside of their family...at the end of the day, that's all that matters...

You ever seen any of their TV specials? That pretty much is what they do.

Jim Bob and Michelle preach and make babies. The kids take care of the kids.

yeah, I've seen 'em...so I guess it's a matter of perspective then...

they're a family...a real family that works together and relies on each other...much like it used to be not so many years ago...families used to be huge and close knit...not so much today...
there are people posting in this very forum that have little or no control over their own families and see fit to cast their issues on this family...

I will say this, tho...her cooch may be clown car-ish...but that must be some good ass clown car cooch, 'cause ol' man Duggar is up in that shit alot...

Anything for an argument and snarky self-aggrandisement, eh?

Helping out once in a while with diapers is nowhere near the same thing as actually raising your younger siblings.

I can't speak for your work ethic, but I can speak to your attitude. Did you get that bad one of yours from your family too?

meow85 said:

How the hell do you know the kids are raising their younger siblings in that family? Have you lived with them?

And I hope you know how hilarious is it that you are criticizing anyone else's attitude.

I came from a family of five kids and had to get myself and my younger brother ready for school in the morning. I remember changing my baby sister's diapers before school too. I think it is a part of family. It also was pretty cool to look out for the baby. We all doted on her. My mom also checked out and slipped into a depression and we pretty much had to defend for ourselves while she slept all day, but when the family functioned it was good. But kids helping mommy with kids does help to build unity and solidarity. It also helps the children bond.

Now I know that my father came from a family of 11 children and the oldests stayed home from school to help with the kids (it was the 1940's). That may have been extreme. Either case, my mom couldn't cope with all them kids, and some women can, and either way they need help.

I think I tried to weigh both sides. Meow can be combative when some folks aren't really looking to argue.

That's all I'm saying (about older siblings helping out with the younger ones). It's just part of being a family. There's nothing weird or wrong about it.

How the hell do you know the kids are raising their younger siblings in that family? Have you lived with them?

What’s a typical day in your house like? How do you maintain control over what has to be pretty chaotic? How do you make a household of 19 people run smoothly?


Our #1 goal is to lead our children to seek a close relationship with God & give Him every area of their lives. We purpose to start each day with a family Bible study, reading a chapter of Proverbs that corresponds with the day of the month. We have heart to heart talks with each of the older children regularly. We try to keep up with their attitudes & actions.

We desire for each child to develop a learning spirit & a servant's heart that looks for opportunities to serve others. It is a joy to see our children becoming best friends. If they can learn to treat their brothers and sisters like they want to be treated, then they can learn to get along with just about anyone along life's way.

We try to begin our daily routine with personal hygiene (get dressed, brush teeth, comb hair, etc...). Each older child has a younger buddy (or two) that they help. We eat breakfast & read the Proverb of the day at 8:00AM, then we "quick clean" the house (older child & their buddy work together to clean their jurisdictions).

Throughout the day we try to pickup as we go along, but naturally things tend toward disorder. So, it is a constant training process with "quick clean" times throughout the day. At 9:00AM, the older children help their buddies with their studies in phonics, math, violin & piano (J-O-Y- Jesus first, Others second, & Yourself last!). Then the older children start their music & individual studies - Math, English, Spelling & Typing.

We break for lunch around 12PM. Often one of the older children help prepare lunch & we all help cleanup. After lunch we work to finish individual studies.

Around 1:30PM the little ones go down for naps (4 & under). Momma & older children gather around the table at 2:00PM for Wisdom Booklet group studies - science, history, law, medicine - part of our ATIA curriculm. We work on one subject until we complete the study. We also review & memorize scripture, hymns & operational definitions of character qualities. The children especially enjoy this because they make up motions to help with memorization.

At 4:00PM, we break from group study to complete individual studies, otherwise this is free time. Dinner is scheduled for 5:00PM. Some of the older girls prepare dinner & everyone helps cleanup. We do another "quick clean" of the house after dinner & then have free time. Some may still be finishing up music, seeing we have to take turns on the pianos with 11 students! 8PM is snack time. Then we start getting ready for bed (baths, brush teeth, pick out clothes for the next day).

9:00PM is Bible time with Daddy. This is probably our favorite time of day. Daddy reads the Bible & we discuss the passage together. We talk about the day & bring out points of how to apply what we have learned. We enjoy making up skits & acting out examples of right responses & wrong responses. Often our little ones will fall asleep as Daddy begins Bible time, still they love to be with us at this special time. Bedtime falls around 10:00PM.

We have a master schedule of each family member's responsibilities displayed on our kitchen wall. This idea came from the Maxwell's, "Managers of Their Homes". For each month, we also have individual daily checklists which cover schoolwork, chores, music lessons, & personal hygiene. These were designed by Daddy so we could see at a glance how each child is doing. These checklists enable us to keep our children accountable & also reward them accordingly.

We have goals, but then we have reality! We are learning to practice flexibility -Not setting our affections on ideas or plans which could be changed by God or others! Sometimes we have "Daddy Days" when Daddy overrides the schedule and takes the children out for family time, a field trip or a service project. We try to make each day fun. Everyday is an exciting adventure!

I don't think it was born premature so much as it probably just fell out.

For the record, all joking aside, I don't care if this woman has 100 babies. As long as they don't don't line up at my door asking me one by one to buy some bullshit magazines so they can go to college...i'm good. Do your thing.

Who here has heard of The Duggar Family?

Yup. The next one evicted it for lack of space. She's never had twins so it's like Pong.
