Jedidiah Duggar Discusses The Biggest Misconception About His Family

In a video shared on his family YouTube channel, Jedidiah Duggar and his wife, Katey, got candid about what it is like to live under the spotlight and the ins and outs of their family dynamics. "Oh, you're brainwashed. Your parents control you. You're all gonna have probably the same number of kids or have a lot of kids," Duggar said, referring to comments he has received over the years. "My dad will even sometimes... We'll have an argument, disagreements where we'll just talk things out, and it's healthy." Despite the disagreements, Duggar explained he has a good relationship with his parents who he loves a lot. "They aren't perfect, I know that, but I love them for who they are," he said.

"Of course, when you come from such a huge family, people automatically ask, 'Okay, are you gonna have 19?' [...] but it's different for each couple,'" Katey said, expanding on how they, as a couple, don't necessarily see themselves following in the footsteps of Jed's parents. "We love kids and we would love to have a bunch of kids but that doesn't mean that our whole life is focused on how many [we have]."
