Six minutes into their YouTube video, Jed and Katey Duggar answered the question: “What is the biggest misconception of your family?” Jed took the lead on this one, saying, “You’re brainwashed, your parents control you, you’re all probably going to have the same number of kids or have a lot of kids.” He explained that this isn’t actually the case, adding, “I’m definitely not brainwashed. I have a mind of my own … My dad is a very humble man, my mom as well. She’s just the sweetest thing.”
Jed also acknowledged that his parents aren’t without their flaws but that he loves them despite these shortcomings. He shared, “The upbringing that I had, of course it wasn’t perfect … Now the world, of course, is seeing that.”

Katey defended her husband, as well, in the YouTube video, saying, “Probably a big misconception is that, like, no one has a mind of their own and these things are, like, forced on them, and it’s like, we’re actually happy. We love our lives, and we make our own choices. Some of them are going to be similar to both of our parents, and some will be different — and the same will happen with our kids, too — and that’s just the process of life.”
Notably, some of Jed’s siblings have been more vocal about their individual experiences with their upbringing than others. His sister, Jinger Vuolo, has written a book, “Becoming Free Indeed,” which will be released on January 31, 2023, per In Touch Weekly.
