How common is the sister-momming seen in the Duggar family?
How well do you think children are prepared for life? It seems like the Duggar girls were so busy trying to tread water with the outsized responsibilities placed on them that they didn’t learn a lot of skills that would actually help them in running a household. Again, is this just this family or do you think it’s a product of girls being taught by other girls who haven’t had great educations, training of the time and space to really learn? I ask because I grew up in a patriarchal religion (not related to IFB) but a small family and was surprised at the lack of basic life skills being shown for the girls in spite of their appearing to essentially run the house.
On a related note, what are typical employment situations for men? Are the boys encouraged to get higher training and education to be able to provide for large families?
Congratulations on your podcast! Leaving an oppressive religious group is difficult. I hope you’ve managed to get the help you need.
