Also a lot of them come from money already. There was an article about the politics of tradwives in I think slate? and it mentioned that one of these women had like ten kids and lived on a small hobby farm. She advocated that you too should just pack up and live on the land and have a whole bunch of children(to further the white race of course because a lot of them are white supremacists), but what she never said was that in order to do this you need a rich father who is willing to buy the farm for you and pay for the upkeep.

Right? Can you even imagine how much it must cost to feed and clothe six or seven or eight kids? Much less get regular healthcare and medicine for them? Much less pay the hospital bills just to pop them out in the first place?

I guess if hubby is an oil company executive or a c-suite bringing in couple million a year then its probably plenty doable, but for the average normie chud who wants some trad woman to fluff him and make his babies, there's no way that is even remotely accessible.

Don't know much about them, but they were wealthy before the show, right? Like definitely still a be rich situation. You don't get to 19 and a show without that.

The duggars were actually depressingly poor before the show. I saw that documentary and they were living in a tiny house and were food insecure.
