Since we're going to leave all our "toys" behind when we go to Heaven, we should be focusing our attention on the one thing we can take with us, people. Does that mean we live in chaos and let our children trash the house? Of course not, God is orderly (look around at the complexity and order of Creation) and not the author of confusion. It's about us being in a relationship with Him first and foremost. A benefit of that is being grateful and good stewards of the gifts He's given us (time, talents, things, money, etc.).

It can be done. She also runs a blog and posts pictures of their wonderful, organized lives. They are not missing out on anything because of cleaning. Quite the opposite. Their lives run more smoothly and they have more free time to do things together because they don't make messes in the first place.

The younger ones have a live-in tutor, so Jim Bob and Michelle don't have to do that job! Please don't pick on that person who mentioned this. You all took it totally wrong. I read it as the OLDER KIDS who have no schooling responsibilities (not the parents), of which there are plenty still around the Duggar house. In fact, they are the very ones who have been featured on the show as being so handy and helpful.
