[post_page_title]Monitoring conversations[/post_page_title]
During their children’s courtships, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar monitor every avenue of communication, including text messages. The parents must be a part of every chat group between their child and the person they are courting so that they can read their messages and make sure that everything is happening as they want it to.
They continue this behavior until the children are married, believing that they are mature enough to behave properly once they tie the knot.
