    Ah, I got confused and thought this was an old story. I didn’t know it was another person from the same show.

    I kind of think it’s that woman’s place thing. Either she does a good job of that or all bets are off. It could be just so many kids is basically like running an orphanage of your own kids.

      There are a lot of confounding factors, I think. But yeah, the Duggar family was perfectly tuned for breeding sexual predators. There’s a documentary series on Amazon Prime. Shiny Happy People. Season 1 is all about the Duggars and the cult they are members of, IBLP. I haven’t watched season 2 yet.

      Yeah. A friend of mine in high school was number 3 or 4 of 10 and she was expected to raise her siblings. Two people can’t give 10 children the attention they need and they just treat raising siblings like it’s a reasonable chore for a child.
