I agree with the thought process of the parents....however.....your children WILL grow up and will be a part of the world at large. Shielding only works in a sense. Those parents have set themselves up for the exact behavior each child starts exhibiting around puberty . Teach your kids values and keep them safe.....but they cannot live in a bubble forever! They are I'll prepared for the real world and all that sheltering has backfired. They border on fanatical......and that's why religion is a HUGE turn off for me. These children can't go to college......because these 2 crazies decided they wont6need to!!?? You keep someone shielded like that and they start feeling controlled.....like prisoners........so......when they break free.....they really break free!! I cannot stand the Mother. She makes no sense to me. What did SHE do as an adolescent or teen that she is now projecting onto her children??? You have to make your children wise....and strong.....not ignorant and vulnerable for the real world! And she's watching as each child...one by one runs from her!! RUNS!! Yet that makes her tighten down more on the younger ones!! And not letting them see each other us AWFUL. She is saying one thing and sending a complete opposite message in her actions and beliefs. Nothing wrong with what she believes or the premise of their life style.......but ........too much of anything..is too much?! I mean......look how it's working out for them????
