Oh my gosh thank you for posting this Lion. Blanket training = slapping a baby?? Really? Anyone who thinks that the Duggars are so wonderful owe it to themselves to read this. Now I know why the children look so happy, they are not allowed to look unhappy. Eye opening albeit sickening article. Amazing.

Your welcome, Joellea. I found this person's blog a few years ago but lost the link and couldn't find it again until just recently.

I was shocked when I first read it. She also blogged about her own life growing up in the same circumstances and it was very interesting.

I think it's very strange how they did a whole episode on Josh moving to Washington for his new job but never said what his new job would be. Somehow they managed to find like-minded couples there too.
