Jesus would have been firm with his kids and would have had house rules and kept the kids really busy, taught them well, fed them well, and - well, I don’t know. Did they turn out well? We have never been privvy to that information. Perhaps they revolted and caused trouble. Perhaps they didn’t and went on the have good lives, married and had lots of kiddies…something to think about. The Bible gives no reference to Jesus having married, etc.Maybe it was a secret!
