Surely they could get a swing set second hand and at least get out in their backyard. I have a basic one that I got free on give away weekend.  My daughter loves sending her dolls down the slide. She needs to get outside for her own mental health. Buy some sidewalk chalk and let Spurgie through Fern go nuts. 

Sorry I can’t help but see so many fundie women turning out 2 ways when they become adults: The first are the fundie women who grew up being sister moms who got used to being perpetually exhausted and just became fundie wives in the same situation as a wife. And the second is the fundie princess. Who was raised sheltered, isolated, and thinking she’s better and more special than everyone else because god. Examples are Braggie and Jill Rod. I wouldn’t be surprised if Haley is a fundie princess. Just a guess. 

NOPE on making kids responsible for other kids’ safety- that is a huge recipe for disaster and the need for lifelong therapy.

That honeymoon cannot have been cheap. To leave so early, man that's a huge waste. 

That they'd be willing to waste such money to leave early says a lot about how badly it was going. 

Or that she’s young and over privileged and doesn’t care she wasted her parents’ money.

Plus how do you get them all out of the car without somebody running into the street/parking lot? 

Parentalize the older ones to look after the younger ones? It’s the Duggar way!
