What a judgemental world we live in! I have three children and agree that you need more storage than actual living places. I can't even imagine having to have the room for towels for 20 people (even if you only have three for each person that is 60 towels), extra sheets for all the beds, clothes that you can't get rid of since children are always growing, shoes for that many people, toliet paper, shampoo, toothpaste, etc... They shop for enough to last their family for a couple of weeks at a time. All of those supplies have to go somewhere. It doesn't mean they have tons of items laying around that they don't use or need. Plus with grandchildren being added to their family, I am sure they have a supply of diapers, wipes, and toys for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-29801651801680159122016-01-18T05:06:43.805-06:002016-01-18T05:06:43.805-06:00I agree!

For those who didn't seem to understand, my understanding is with children you have & need a lot of stuff but all this stuff needs a home when not in use. Just like your cabinets shelve your food, pots, pans, etc. With closed shelving you don't need to dust it daily where with open shelving units like for books, toys, school supplies, etc. they tend to collect dust a lot quicker therefore they need to be cleaned more often. And if everything has a place & everything is in its place then it's organized. Just my interpretation.

Some may see it as her having a servants heart and wanting to help her parents. Others believe this is all she's been taught and trained how to live. To those not familiar with independant fundamentalists then of course it looks like abuse but that's just how they delegate. The oldest daughter takes on the role of a mother figure and stays in the home until she is married. Helping raise her siblings is preparing her for motherhood. Often times the eldest daughters of large fundamental families will take longer to marry due to them being needed at home helping to raise thier siblings and siblings children.

They now have a 7000 sq. ft. home (for 20+ people) that they got to design themselves. She knows from experience that storage space is wonderful - consider their new pantry compared to the three foot closet where they used to keep their food on "14 children & pregnant again." A kitchen/pantry needs more storage space than actual work stations because there are so many different appliances, food items, etc. that are needed to make meals on a regular basis. If I got to design my own house, I would love to have a pantry with an exterior door to the driveway like they do! It would save so much time & could be so organized :). I don't think that the Duggars believe in American excesses. They are very frugal people. More Storage doesn't always mean you're materialistic!

She didn't bring up the police report, which has the Duggar's own account in it, or Huckabee's May 2015 Facebook post where he certainly did defend what happened. I thought his responses were rather rude, as was the way he constantly interrupted her.
