It was fun to watch! All the older children had long lists of chores and there didn't seem to be any whining. They were busy but didn't seem hassled. The older kids were helping build a great big new house with dormitory. The camera came along to the shopping trips, the meal plans, the food preparation, the domestic infrastructure that made their lives not only comfortable, but fun.
That they managed on one man's upper-middle income salary was amazing.
More power to them. But, no, not for me!
His worldview can’t envision the possibility of 17 well-behaved children who are raised traditionally to respect God, their parents, and proper authority. He can only see 17 hellions disrupting the neighborhood. It speaks more to his sad sick limited view than the possible reality. Children, especially large numbers of them, would HAVE to be hellions-in his “progressive” view-he has no idea of another way of child-rearing, other than the permissive liberal one.
