After taking some time to think about the Duggars in depth I realized...I may be a little less than open-minded to their style of parenting. I am completely surrounded by people who plop their children in front of the TV, or a video game while they clean, or even take a nap. The Duggar family, is a happy well rounded family with high-set morals, who takes long leaps to shelter their children...That there though would be my first complaint. As you can't shelter a child from everything. Not to say these children have no clue about what life is like, but there's just some things.
I have come to enjoy watching their family grow even with the cameras surrounding them, as they show their family responsibility while also letting them be children. But, I feel as though I see Gender roles being implemented in the family, and I feel have come so far to not be considered "different". Though, I don't see any: "I am man, you do as I say", because they all talk and get along well, I would just like to see the girls in some pants, and maybe even switching chore roles, but something tells me some of the girls would not be up for carrying lumber! :) Anyways, I guess that's just my two cents.
