I have never seen any indication on the show that Michelle and Jim Bob aren't the primary ones who look after the kids.
I have.
I don't think it's a crime for an older sibling to help a younger one brush their teeth and get ready for bed.
Every single day of their life?

And it is beyond helping to brush and get ready for bed. They help them with their homeschooling lessons, their music lessons, dressing them, waking up with them during the night, feeding them, changing them, they have to play with them, etc. EVERY day

The most pathetic thing I saw on that show was the children cooking and babysitting their parents offspring, while Michelle and creepy Jim-Bob sat and ate the lunch together and said the make time to be alone. Ugh.
I dont think they children are abused, but I do think that the parents are selfish in many, many ways.
