I am from a family of 3 siblings who fought all the time. We are now in our 40's and still fight and have never gotten along...my friend...hers get along great...I still see the family alot..there is 2 nurses.....3 teachers....physical therapist.....CPA. another one that owns his own construction company....thats all I know. They lived by most of the same rules that the Duggar family lived by....(my friends family did not believe in BC due to religious faith) and they have turned out to be not weirdos but respected people in our community. They all helped raise each other...they lived on the farm and had many chores to do to keep the farm and household running. They did not have very much in the way of "things" but I still had so much fun with them. Their dad use to nick name me "Fred" I think that was because all of the kids names started with L and my name was Lynn which they already had one of so to keep me seperate he named me Fred..which I am still amazed that he knew I was not one of his children with so many...lol.... Having this huge family did not hurt them in any way....
As for the strong opinions....that is whats so great about living in the USA....everyone is entitled to their opinion.....and we can converse here and give ours.....  |
I would have loved to have more bros and sisters, i only grew up with my brother so it was lonenly at times. And he is 4 yrs older so its a big gap kinda. We neer like hung out like that, he was always just my big brother lol I always wanted like sisters to be close to. My friend's house was a family of 4, 2 girls, 2 boys and i was always close with them, well still am. I consider them like my sisters and they are only like 2 yrs apart and very very close. And the brothers were close too. I want a big family when i have one, but not as big as the duggars lol
