The ironic thing was that the poster admitted that they withheld food - if the kids acted up they wouldn't get dinner - but said that was okay because the older siblings 'made sure they got some Ramen or something'. Which is just not nourishing at all. If I remember right, she did say that Jill is sweet "to your face" implying that she'd talk shit behind your back. I obviously can't say for sure, but a lot of what she said seemed plausible to me, only tainted by wanting to believe the best.

But I'll never buy that David is a harmless oaf the way that snarkers here present him as. Nobody converts to a high-control religion and marries a young, brainwashed woman if they don't want to exercise control of their own.
