Better Quote by Jim Bob Duggar

“It's important to be able to listen to your children. A lot of times, I'll make a decision about something, but our children have learned to make appeals and express their opinions. And a lot of times, they have better ideas than I do about things.” quote by Jim Bob Duggar
