Nope, nope, nope. Have you looked into any of their culture or childrearing beliefs? It's borderline abuse and what amounts to brainwashing.
Hitting infants with objects for moving off a rug to break their will is abuse.
Holy fuck. I didn't have an opinion on the Duggars because I don't have TV or read up on celebrity gossip but this tipped the scales. That's fucking sick.

Wow. That is sick! I don't know much about them either. ..besides that they have a tv show and lots of kids. I bet lots of people don't know about their beliefs. Yikes!
You are right ghostmonkey, I don't know what I'm talking about in relation to farms. I am sorry that I said anything and that I offended you. As to the year round school, I mostly wanted a good debate this morning. I agree it has downsides.
Not buying this. You were dead-set on your opinion earlier. Which is fine - you can prefer year-round schooling if you want, but just own it.

You're right, that would make sense. I'm about to go read a bit more before bed. I am not sure why you are being so combative, though. I am sorry that my opinion came across as ignorant of what really goes on, but I wasn't trying to cause a problem. I will gladly read more about a topic that doesn't get a lot of discussion in "reality" TV.
I wasn't even trying to be combative. It just struck me as weird. I have a lot of feels about Quiverfulls and Jehovah's witnesses.
I can talk about Jehovah's Witnesses for days. Maternal Grandma as well as Uncle and cousins are JWs. Definitely an "interesting" group. It is a little disconcerting when all your friends are watching Smurfs and your grandma tells you they are demonized.
I LOVE popping my own popcorn. Way better than bagged. It's just a pain in the ass to do.
I am SURE this has been covered but air popper FTW! We have a cuisinart one that's the best thing ever. No mess, pour in kernals, position bowl, bam. Popcorn. Little oil, old bay, salt, whatever. Nomnomnomnom.
We have an air popper too! After eating "real" popcorn with real butter and salt on it, microwave popcorn tastes very artificial to me. I love our air popper!

I can talk for years. Fourth generation over hurr
Oh man, I'm sorry! Have you read, I'm Perfect, You're Doomed by Kyria Abrahams? It starts off funny but is kind of sad too. It explained why my Grandma was so afraid of us watching Smurfs.
Omg this just took me a legit 45 min to read. I didn't know what I was getting myself into! UO: I'm really not a music fan. I'll keep in on in the car for white noise but I don't know bands or songs or whatever. Just not my thing. DH loves music and can't believe he married someone who doesn't.

I was trying to say, I don't really have a dog in this fight. I will own the opinion, but I won't fight for it to the death. I'm not a parent, I'm not a K-12 teacher. I see positives and negatives, and I pretty much stopped talking about the topic when the thread blew up, until a few poorly thought through responses to ghostmonkey. When I first brought it up this morning, it was completely in a "this will be fun to talk about spirit." I may have been wrong on that count.
OMG. DS insisted we stop and get a "cake" so we got a brownie. With frosting on it.
I MOTHER FUCKING HATE FROSTING.
UO:Frosting is the devil.
Happy birthday!!!
+1 on the no frosting! I always scrape it off. My office friend goes to the cupcake shop around the corner from work & gets cups of frosting to go. Just the frosting! I throw up a little each time.
Grain and cattle (both my parents' farm, and now my husband's). Actually, I am sitting in the tractor as we speak. Anyone want to come ride in the buddy seat?
Careful what you ask for. I'm like 30 minutes from you, and might just hunt you down.
ETA: I'm working on my skin suit pattern right now.
OMG earlier DS took his tape measure over to H and told him 'lay down daddy, I need to measure your face'. We were both like...uhh...are you planning a skin suit our sweet, sweet child? Kids are weird.
I totally prefer books over the kindle. I love turning pages and quickly flipping back if I missed something. It's trickier on the kindle.
I could see both benefits and drawbacks to all year long school with extended breaks. On the on hand, I would love if my kids could have a summer vacation to go to camp and visit family and participate in home life more. If it's a question of whether their learning curve will suffer, then I would happily put them in am educational camp or seminar over the summer or just practice with them at home. I do understand how teachers would benefit with a continuous pay check with the year round system, though.
Not going to tag mamabee for the purposes of luring her back in here. Can we all just agree to ignore every comment she makes? Because she really seems to get off on us reacting to her, sadly enough, and I do believe she will not be leaving us no matter what we say. I think her shitty attitude and sarcastic replies are for her entertainment only, and I don't think she truly gives a fuck about learning anything on this board.
As for other peoples' marriages being discussed on here, I totally agree we need to be cautious since we are only getting one side of the story and apparently it is worded wrong or unclear most of the time. I'm all for giving advice (hell, I know I need it!) but it's really hard when the same advice is repeated over and over again. I just don't want anyone to spill their guts about their marriage and then brush it off when we all point out a legitimate problem.
My own UO is that I don't mind the Duggar family. I watch their show and don't find them annoying. I am jealous of the fertility, of course, but I think they sometimes get too much criticism for their way of life.
