You don't really know how these kids are being raised. You are watching something that has all the negative things
edited out. All the bad things, words, looks,
THE TRUTH, is cut out and laying in the edit room. You see smiles, happy, pretty, clean. That right there should tell you something. Every human being should be allowed to grow. Physically, emotionally and mentally. Within relationships at school, in the community - where the individual feels they need to be.
There are too many restrictions placed on the GROUP. That is what they are: a GROUP. A single entity. And the older ones have - MUST - bear the responsibility of RAISING THE YOUNGER GROUP MEMBERS. It is not a choice for them. THEY HAVE TO. How can you possibly watch this and come to the conclusion that they have something good going on? It looks like some type of prison. Has anyone asked the kids if any of the 15 would like to go to an actual school? Private or otherwise? Would their voices be heard? Would their desires be met? That's part of life to. Seeing dreams and realities come to life. To have interests outside the home? To find out what dating is all about? Without MomBob or DadBob right there in between them 24/7???? Come on. Take the blinders off. Having a large family is a big responsibility: FOR THE ADULTS HAVING THE CHILDREN
IT SHOULD NOT BE FORCED ON THE CHILDREN.
