[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michelle spends her time traveling (speaking engagements and book signings), taping a reality TV show, writing, and working out.

She outsources the homeschooling, child care, menu planning, shopping, cooking, and cleaning to her five eldest daughters (ages 15-23).

Their education is at home, via various computer and on-line programs. Once they earn their GEDs at the age of 16, their education is over. They have received some coaching for CLEP testing via a program called "CollegePlus!", but none are pursuing actual degrees.

All potential suitors must be vetted through Daddy. When the eldest (Joshua) was courting, he and his future wife were never allowed to be alone. Their dates had to be chaperoned; their phone calls were monitored; the only physical contact they had before marriage was holding hands.

Of the 19 offspring, let's look at the stats of the eldest six:

JOSH:

age: 25
education: homeschooled; GED at the age of 16
marital status: was married at the age of 20

occupation: runs Daddy's used-car business

JOHN DAVID:

marital status: single; has never dated or had a girlfriend
residence: lives with parents/siblings
occupation: runs Daddy's towing company

JANA:

JESSA:

JINGER:

Agreed, except that Jill has done some training to be a lay midwife.

The girls have said that their favorite book is Before You Meet Prince Charming.  (I doubt they have been exposed to much in the way of books.)  The book is all about being a stay-at-home-daughter and waiting for your future husband to present himself.
