(no subject)
the duggar family really pisses me off, and yet, i'm oddly fascinated by them. i've been watching their show 17 kids and counting and... i don't know, i just really don't like them. i think it's totally selfish to have so many kids (and not even spend time with them.)
but whatever, i keep watching. i'm strange like that.
in case you don't know anything about them, let me break it down for you:
- they have eighteen kids (michelle just popped out number 18 last month. time to change the show's title!)
- they are home schooled, have limited internet access, and watch very little tv.
- they are (obviously) very conservative and religious. they follow the quiverfull movement, which basically means that every child is a gift from god. that means no birth control. just babies, babies, babies.
- all of their children have names that start with "j". i would list them all, but just no. go to the wiki page linked above if you're that curious. but i will mention "jinger" (pronounced "ginger") just because i feel so bad for her having that awful name.
- they don't believe in any sexual relations before marriage. yes, that includes kissing. actually, they don't believe in being alone together before marriage. chaperones are always present.
- THEY DON'T LET THEIR DAUGHTERS GO TO COLLEGE. a woman's place is in the home, right? the girls are also not allowed to wear pants (it pleases the lord), wear makeup, or cut their hair. oh, and they're required to perm their hair because jim bob (their dad) likes the way it looks.
- each child has a buddy (one older, one younger). the older child helps the younger child with everything. basically, the younger ones are pawned off on their older siblings while michelle and jim bob make more babies.
- all of the boys share one room and the girls share another.
- no one has their own clothes. everyone shares from one giant closet.
- jim bob can't remember all of his children's birthdays.
- the children have a sign up sheet to spend time with their parents.
i really don't know what else to say. i just really don't like them, but i can't help but read about them and watch their show.
