To SteveCadell:I understand about the editing but am unsure if you did when signing up?
Had you not watched the show before? They've always (for th most part) have shown the worst (or what they perceive as the worst) in both families. Then always show the followup with one family learning more than the other.
It's called ratings..reality tv has ben around for years and most know the editing is what it is for: ratings.
Tv show gets ratings...the people on it get paid a sum of money to be on.
For me I watch these shows as I would a sitcom...and make remarks as such...from what I see not from what I feel might have been edited.
As for your remarks on religion and what BM had you doing etc I totally agree with your comments. Only thing I disagree with is that I felt you owed her NO apology.
I do feel your girls did dress a little much for their ages......girls (as well as boys) do need direction (Not controlled as was BN's girls). If they are dressing this way at such young ages....when they get to the rebellious stags what then for dress? And yes, the girls will rebel....that's normal. Girls rebel by the clothes they wish to wear while boys rebel by driving fast etc.
But in the long run, does it matter what we here say about the families? Longs you are okay within your heart and the way things are then that is all that counts.
Best wishes to you and your family....
