I did and it was eye opening, the large family were adorable in their completeness as a unit and it seemed to work in that instance, however the lady alone who had not managed to teach her son to read?... no that is not acceptable,and she has not done him any favours, mind you it is never too late to learn.

The only issues I had were with food choices and bedtimes which I feel are vital in health, growth and learning, some kids now are micromanaged to the nth degree and I don't feel that does them a service either. Finding that balance is the sweet spot and it's different for each child, which makes it all the more difficult.
As seen on the show the personalities of the siblings showed that some craved more structure than others, parenting is not a one size fits all.
