54. Kids their age in that household environment will be very thought restricted.

They will genuinely and sincerely believe their dad can do no wrong and that anything that is said bad about him is the devils work, quite literally. The parents will have sat down with them and given them "the talk" about how evil outside influences exist to harm their dads image.

They will almost certainly not have any realization to any extent about their father until later on in life. Only one will hope that they don't have to endure the same kinds of treatment their father perpetuated, because there will be guys who specifically prey on them knowing that if it ever got out that it would reveal a hypocrisy, and that they know the girls would be more likely to keep it secret.

Then again they could go the Bristol Palin route and become millionaires by being impregnated teens.
