[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I refuse to follow or give any of these breeder families attention.

Look what happened with the Duggars. America was obsessed with them until their dirty laundry came out and what dirty laundry it was! Barf. [/quote]
This family gives me a different vibe.  They didn't used to be crammed in a small living space, [b]but have musically talented kids and needed to find them a way to continue to grow musically. [/b] I applaud the parents for finding a way to make it work so the kids could attend one of the best music conservatives in the country.  The older ones are still at home, but have serious studies at the conservatory.  They live at home because th COL in SF is outrageous.

I understand that the girls aren't required to wear dresses, but it was expected at a fundie church they used to be members of in San Diego.  They left that church, but the girls still feel more comfortable in dresses.

I follow them and it seems they started IG and YouTube to share music performances.  That seems normal.  They now share more about their family because people kept asking.[/quote]

I mean, I agree they do appear talented, but it was also the mom's life goal to have them play string instruments. She specifically cites in one of her videos growing up around Chinese immigrants who would make their kids practice violin for hours a day, practice even if they had a playdate, NO EXCUSES, as a model for how to raise her own kids. You can agree that "works" or not, but it's not like she necessarily had some phenom on her hands she helped chase the dream; the parents pursued this, for not one, but ALL of their kids, some might say to the detriment of other things like academic education or their other interests. What if one is a gifted painter? We'll never know, they're doing the string instrument thing. I find that very odd and stifling.

I'd like to know what kind of fundie they are/were. [/quote]

It’s extremely stifling. And selfish. I feel sorry for the kids. Basically they have no option other than to play a string instrument (and piano). [/quote]

And if at some point you decide maybe you want to focus on your education, maybe at 18 you don't want to sleep on a fold out bunkbed and share a room with five siblings, or you don't want to busk or wear matching outfits-then you are destroying the family because your parents are monitizing the group of you.[/quote]
