[QUOTE="FarmGirl10, post: 876668, member: 6646"] My only issue with them having so many kids is from personal experience. My dad was the oldest in a large family (not quite that big though) and he became a secondary parent to his younger siblings, helping them get ready for school and other everyday things. When our family was started, he already knew what he was doing, which was a good thing. But at the same time, he couldn't adjust to us being his "family" and still put his younger siblings needs ahead of ours. I'm moved away and gone, so it doesn't effect me near as much anymore but my brother that stayed home and went directly into farming after school still feels it. If my uncles that farm and brother both need help, he will help my uncles first and my brother after they are done. Im sure the parents of all these kids are great parents (seen the show once), but when i seen the show the older siblings did take on parent like roles, like the older daughters cooking dinner for the family and taking care of younger siblings. I fear for the families of the older kids growing up second to their parents siblings. [/QUOTE]
