*sigh* I have a lot of thoughts and no way to really express them. They center upon some very bigoted judgmental people that are attacking the Duggar family. I love how they make accusations without knowing the facts. We are a family much like the Duggars and yet we don't have the same fall out they do just because we haven't been blessed with as many children as they have as close together. yes, I have "issues" with certain things they do, but at the same time I have issues with the way most people raise their 1, 2 or 3 kids ... this has nothing to do with family size or following what we believe is God's will for our lives.
I saw several want to know what they do for a living and accuse the Duggars of being supported by the mighty tax dollar. They don't get anything from the government. They own rental properties and live a debt free life and learned how to handle money the correct way -like many other smaller families have done and are doing now ... Dave Ramsey has an excellent "program" for getting debt free and living a very nice life. We have adopted Dave Ramsey's way. The Duggars used Jim Sammons. Not that it matters who a person takes advice from, it's a matter of whether or not you decide to take control of your finances and investments and use self control to make the money you make work for you and your family and your lifestyle. The Duggars have done this and done this well. I won't get into everything they do, as they don't even do everything our family does.
Our family does many more money saving things like growing a good portion of our own food and doing many herbal and homeopathic remedies instead of tons of doctors visits ... yes we have insurance and yes we use it when we need it (traumas, dental work, diagnositics, etc). The Duggars tend to have money to pay for their care outright which means not dealing with insurance companies turning down treatments ... we as well try to plan for that sort of thing while maintaining insurance as well (as they may as well). When one makes wise investments early on, there is a lot of money to be made over time without having to work ones self to death to make a buck as the saying goes.
Someone mentioned if the older kids have gone to college ... well only a couple are even college age. They have the option to do so.
We encourage our children to go to college due to some events that have happened within our own lives, especially mine ......
but I have to go ... lots to do and I've run out of computer time!!!
