You see this in this Duggar house, they call them "buddies" I think, which is just a euphemism for "I have to take care of this child".
I have a real problem with that. I think some of these girls are going to be so tired of taking care of children by the time they are adults, that they are not going to want to have their own children for a long time, if ever. Just my two cents...  |
Yep, and some become resentful probably.
