The parents are over the top control freaks.The kids grow up with no social skills, no idea how to survive in the world. They are home schooled so no friends, proms,dances or anything that we all remember fondly. Sad.The dad seems creepy. The 15 year old lydia plays the mother roll.Cooking,cleaning and taking care of the kids. She's the one the parents think is normal but she sits in a closet praying. 4 older kids got out and want nothing to do with the parents silly rules. It's interesting to see the older kids out in the world. Everything's new and exciting to them. Never had soda etc..Wish them the best,they have so much to learn. They have a great sister inlaw Olivia who helps alot.
