I am from a family of nine kids. (Mom and Dad were good Catholics. ) But there's a HUGE difference between the way me and my siblings were raised and the way this family is being raised. We never had more than three kids to a bedroom, my sisters and I could wear jeans just like the boys, and although we were expected to help out around the house, it wasn't a huge burden (It did used to irk me that my brothers never had to help out with the dishes like I did - Mom always countered that it was the boys' job to mow the lawn and take out the garbage, but it still seemed kind of unfair to me).
In other words, I think it's fine for parents to have lots of kids if that's what they really want and they can afford it - but combining it with a lot of sexist crap like this family does galls me. Plus there's the whole "whoring your family out to reality TV" aspect.
(Edited to add my brothers and sisters and I were not sequestered from the outside world, either.)
