Anyone have a link or any info on this? I'm curious.

To my knowledge, their relationships are fine... I believe one of their daughters (Rebekah?) writes for The Old Schoolhouse magazine and has posted clarifications on her parents beliefs, etc. I haven't heard about any "problems" etc.

They say that it's all good. I don't know anyone who knows them IRL to verify this. I do wonder how accurate this is re: their inner feelings (the children's), as they were whipped for not smiling while growing up.

Posted previously related to this topic is something that very much resonated with me. The quote is from katiekind in an older thread, the emphasis is mine:

Quote:

And lastly, and I say this gently, as the parent of grown kids, knowing *insert parenting guru* is also the parent of grown kids: we have wonderful children--he does, I'm sure--and so do I. But without even knowing his children I can know this about them: they are not perfect. They hurt. They make mistakes. They struggle. They are prideful and overly simplistic at times; and crippled by shame and hesitancy at others. Yes--they are beautiful examples of human beings, his children (I assume), and mine (I know.) But they are not perfect. If they were, they would not be human. If it were possible to raise children to perfection, then God would have sent a parenting method, not Jesus. Our marching orders are not to raise our children by a method to be like *insert parenting guru* children. Our marching orders are to be Christians to and with our children.
