Quote From: rxy1981.I was raised in a COMPLETELY sexually closed enviroment. It was not discussed, or explained. It was a dirty, closed subject.
I am happily married, monogamous, pregnant with my first child, and like it that way...that is MY choice. This family has made the choice that is best for them. As long as their children are not being molested, and they are not openly having sex in front of their children, I think it is HEALTHIER than the way I was raised!
As far as the blog...I do think that every sexually active person has every right to have nude photos if they choose. I am SURE that some of you that are judging this family have some naughty photos hidden away somewhere, or a girlie magazine hidden under the mattress....your child could find those if they looked in the right place! I think we all know that if a child truly wishes to find something online, or not, there is no way any parent can ever stop them completely.
These shows ARE edited for "shock value" for lack of a better term. When that happens, it is very easy to see only the negative side, and forget that there is an entire WORLD of circumstances that we are not privy to. There are so many families that "have it all together" in popular opinion, but what goes on behind closed doors is so much more horrific than anything we can imagine. Honestly, a family that is this open has me much more convinced that there is NOTHING going on that they are not willing to share with anyone...and that gives me more peace of mind than a family that is just "too perfect"
My family was a "perfect" family to anyone looking in. What they did not see was the emotional neglect, sexual abuse, and religious posturing that took place inside. It damaged me far more than any amount of seeing a sex toy ever could have!
I give props to this family! It is no more different than the normal family structure than a same sex marriage with children is. I KNOW and can admit that there is no way that I have the security and self confidence that these women obviously have. They are secure in their love for each other, and their "husbands" love for them. That is more than most monogamous couples can say!
In Biblical times, it was commonplace for a husband to have many wives. All of the women raised the children as their own, including nursing. When did someone randomly decide that was no longer a cultural 'yes' and turn it into a taboo?
I think we need to look a lot longer and harder at the fact that the Bible speaks far more about judging others than it does about how many spouses to have, and look in our own hearts to see what darkness we are to afraid to let God deal with, before we start casting stones at those who choose to view life differently than we do.
I understand some of what you are saying, but this household is way off on what is healthy for children. I also came from sexual abuse and this family disturbs me very much. Yes, we may all have nude magazines or sex toys, but they should never be shared with ANY children. Some of these things were shared with me when I was a child and I am still working all of it out. I can't express enough how detrimental this is for children. It seems that their entire life revolves around sex and sexual pleasure. I just don't feel that sex is all there is for anyone. I do agree that it is good to teach your children about sex (age appropriate) but this is too much. Come on, she punished her 12 year old by having her go naked for 2 hours. Unbelievable! How about taking away her computer or video games or maybe just talking to her. This was extreme. Think about the children! It sounds to me that this woman doesn't care if she's right or wrong. She's going to do what she does regardless. She is very arrogant and selfish.
Admit it, you've judged people for doing things you considered inappropriate and abnormal in public. Meet Margaret, a stay-at-home mom who's tired of everyone thinking sex is taboo. She says she absolutely loves sex and she'll talk about it anytime, anywhere ... and with all of her kids. This includes showing them her sex toys, her sex swing and her X-rated Web site! But that's not all. Margaret is in a relationship with another woman, Jen, and Jen's husband. Now that she's pregnant, both women say they plan on breastfeeding the baby. Then, meet a husband who sometimes uses the F word six times in one sentence! Plus, meet three kids who think their mom dresses too sexy, and follow a woman's quest to change people's behavior in the grocery store, one shopper at a time. Join the discussion.
