[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 547309, member: 84"] I get the impression with the Duggars that the father has his own business that seems to do really well. It also appears that for the most part Mom sews most of the kids' clothes. (I could be wrong I have only watched a few and found myself turned off). I know they shop at Aldi's, because you can see the bags on the show. And she makes really cheap simple bulk meals from what shows I've seen.......simple/bulk as in I dunno how those kids are growing properly. They have the enormous house they have now, because they built it themselves with no outside help whatsoever which made it tons cheaper. (they actually had any child old enough to hold a tool helping) Only criticism I have with the Duggars (I dunno who the Bates are) is that mom seems obsessed with babies (under 1 yr) then literally passes the child off onto an older sibling to be cared for......as in totally.....as in eating, bathing, changing, laundry ect The only children she cares for personally, are the babies under 1 yr. She said so herself and seemed proud of it. Now having grown up in a large family, yes older sibs helped with younger, that was a given, and chores were just the way it was and no one questioned it. But no way in hades did we do all the care of our sibs. Eek! Well, no wonder she keeps popping babies out. omg If she truly had to do all or even most of the work involved she'd have stopped long long ago. To each their own, I guess. But I have strong feelings that many of not the majority of her children will NOT be following in their mother's footsteps. And my god what are they going to do with that house when those kids are all grown and gone??? If they sold it, who on earth would want it? [/QUOTE]
