Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have been married for 30 years and have 19 kids together. Their strict beliefs have been featured on the show "19 Kids and Counting" for the last six years. Well we addressed their unusual rules for raising teenagers on air this morning and we can't believe how extreme some of them are!

The Duggar children are not allowed to drink alcohol. That is understandable since the drinking age is 21, but it goes beyond the teenage years. None of the Duggars drink alcoholic beverages. Even their weddings are alcohol and music free! Which brings us to the next rule: there will be no shaking of the booty. Like something out of "Footloose," the Duggars believe that dancing leads to sensual thoughts and actions. I'm Brazilian. We love to shake it. Enough said.

The Duggars do not "date." They "court," which is old fashioned dating with the purpose of finding a spouse. I can honestly say that I love this mentality. I miss when dating/courting had meaning (I love Jane Austen novels and movies, forgive me).

To be sure that their children behave appropriately with their significant others, dates are chaperoned. Michelle and Jim Bob will send one of the younger siblings on the excursions, or chaperone themselves. While courting, there will be no kissing, no chest-to-chest contact, and all text messages will be copied to the parents.

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a hugger. I like showing affection with a big bear hug that leaves you short of breath. I cannot imagine a world where I am not allowed to hug my own boyfriend properly and show him that I care about him. If all I could do was give him a "side-hug," I'd probably end up depressed and curled up in the fetal position in some corner.

And I don't see the need for the parents to be "CC'd" in every text message that the Duggar kids send to their SOs. That kind of control is stifling and unbearable. How could you possibly learn to be independent if mom and dad don't give you enough room to make a few mistakes?

My parents have rules, just like every other caring parent. But their rules tended to be fair, and still allowed for us to build an identity, make mistakes, learn from them, and appreciate our successes even more. Sure, the Duggars are trying to prevent their kids from having "baggage" when they marry. But will this overbearing parenting style be too much for one of the 19 children? It would DEFINITELY be too much for me.
