From what we've seen of Shaun, I don't think he's done any of the parenting expect showing up in the family photos. Which isn't parenting at all. He's never there because of work travel and when he is (rarely) he's holed up in his office. I'm convinced he never wanted 10 children, but now he has them he simply ignores parenting because he didn't/ doesn't want to parent 10 children.
Yup. When I was at my most fundy I attended a church where a lot of the fathers with large families did a lot of traveling for work. Looking back I wonder. I'm sure some of them had jobs where they traveled that much and seemed like they were probably as quiverfull as their wife. But there were definitely a few who, looking back, I could see living a double life. Yes, maybe they traveled some for work but were also able to work remotely so they had someone/s on the side. ISB I could see some of the men (or Shaun for that matter) who have entire other families but with only one or two children who they have a genuine connection with because they're not inundated with ten at once.
