| The Duggar Family |
Anyway, I have again sort of picked up the show because there is nothing else to watch on Tuesdays. And I am very disappointed in my reaction. I judge. And I judge and I judge and I judge. For some reason, after having one child I am appalled at what I perceive to be a lack of responsibility in having nineteen children. Perhaps it's the fact that I could never, in this lifetime, have the ability to parent that many kids. But I think it's more that neither do they--the older of the kids end up parenting the smaller ones. And it upsets me. And THAT upsets me. What business of mine is it? I guess, though, if you put your family out for the world to judge, it shouldn't be shocking to anyone that judgment is what you will receive.
The most fascinating aspect of the show, though, is the fact that I genuinely like (most of) the people in the family. They seem like really good kids/ adults. I would LOVE to see what they're like off-camera, though. Does Michelle ever lose it and tell Jim Bob that he's a sexist pig and to go f*&k himself? God, I hope she does. But I doubt it. I suspect that they really mean it when they say they try to be good people. And it seems that they are. I don't necessarily agree that their lifestyle is for everyone, but maybe a lack of connection to the outside world can keep you optimistic and caring. Who knows.
The point is, you can live your life however you choose. And, no matter how I try not to, I can judge you for it.
