John-David, the only other adult son, supports himself, but since he isn't married he still lives at home.

The Duggars have several grown children, but Josh is the only one currently supporting himself. I know some of them do odd jobs to earn money, but I am not sure that should be considered a good example for others. I also worry about the daughters who are raised to be compeltly reliant on the men. The girls have no ability to provide for themselves. I wonder what Anna would do if something happened to Josh. How would she provide for her family? I would also like to point out. The Duggars have several grown children, but Josh is the only one currently supporting himself.

At least the Duggars have money sense going for them. The proposal that government get involved in policing home businesses and farms is downright scary however. God forbid they invade our homes even more. Isn't that what makes this country great?--Freedom? Unfortunately freedom means the people that we don't like with beliefs we don't agree with get to practice that belief in peace. There's a fine line between keeping kids safe and government control of our private lives. I wouldn't make my kids into free labor, but they have the right to raise their children as they see fit. The purity balls and shaving fathers and such....definitely creepy. That part we agree on. And Michelle needs to accept that age and health play a big role in having children...and stop before even worse happens. I think if I had had one rough pregnancy and then miscarried the next one...that would be warning enough for me. I had my last at 39 with a difficult pregnancy and after consulting the dr. for his advice and searching my soul, I had my tubes tied. Wasn't going to play the wheel and risk life or a precious child's health just to say "I had another one". Vyckie, I appreciate that you are trying to create a safe place for abused women to come and share. I hear a lot of anger and pain in the words typed on here. At some point I hope everyone can move past that pain and anger and find healing. Enjoyed reading this article. At least the Duggars have money sense going for them.

Enjoyed reading it. The only thing I take issue with is all the negative commentary on the supposed evil of these kids working hard and learning a lot of practical business skills. You can condemn it as "child labor" but I would call that a great preparation for real life in the adult world. I think your call for more government regulation in this area is scary. Ironically all this practical preparation actually seems to make Quiver-kids more capable of living independent of their parents as adults than the typical public school educated kid who then has to rely on Mom & Dad (or a bank) to fund their college and/or early "adult" life.

The things that the author of this blog is stating that she thinks is bad, is just hard to comprehend. The children growing up working in and around the home, running businesses, cooking, cleaning taking care of their younger siblings, learning to run a business, fix cars, operating equipment, etc. how is that bad? That's called real life! Not sitting on a couch watching MTV or playing video games, eating junk food being selfish and ignorant...having no morals, being lazy. Many of us who are mothers might wish that we had known more about these things when we first had our children. Many of us might wish that we could do it all over again. But instead of hating those who've been graced by God to be good examples to others, why not at least try to appreciate the positive that the Duggars are doing and be grateful that God is being given the honor and glory and showing this broken world that there is hope for people who have faith.

The "dream house" would have been completed "eventually". It would have been completed when all the kids were grown and moved out because the rate at which they were moving along was about as fast as molasses flowing in January. Their dream home got the boost that was necessary to get it completed when the TLC income started flowing. Surprise, surprise. Yes, "Selling the Dream" is exactly what is is ALL about. As has been said many times before: "It's a good job if you can get it." I have no problem with these capitalists - it's America! But, geez, at least be honest about it!
