Duggar #18

[Tiramisu]

I just saw here the Duggars are pregnant with #18. I'm speechless!

[Janet]

I think it's wrong. Not horrible, but what the heck are they trying to prove except that they have sex a million times a second. And they say dogs should be neutered!

I guess that wasn't very nice of me...but geez!

[janc]

They seem like very nice people and the children appear to be well behaved. He's a realtor I think and they are not on welfare.

[Janet]

Oh I know, they are very above board and making it on their own. The bottom line is I just don't understand and that's okay. I, personally would be embarassed to have that many. I try not to worry about what people think, but I would be afraid 'rabbits' would pop into mind...LOL

[janc]

I would be stark raving mad if I had that many kids. They must be on call 24/7 with all those kids but they seem to love it. Fortunately for the world, most people don't.

My aunt and uncle had 16 kids, but we're Irish

[Janet]

I forgot that my 'good' sister-in-law is the youngest of 12.

There's a girl in my town that has 7 & she's only 30. I think it's insane, but she plans to have as many as often as she can until she can't anymore. She homeschools them & makes their clothes. They are very well behaved.

There was also a family in my town that had 21 children & one died. When I was in the seventh grade there was one kid from their family in every grade & one grade had twins.

I understand that they are supporting the kids with out government assistance, But, I don't get it? Why?

As a population we are already draining the world of its resources.

After last week's negative results, I'm still feeling a little sorry for myself. I don't understand why they are blessed with 18 children, and other people like myself are unable to have even 1.

[Forgivenmom5]

Dobie what I don't understand is the people that are blessed with children and then abuse and mistreat them when you would love one and give it a good home. I guess we just have to remember God has a special plan.

Dobie,

You will hold a baby in your arms and raise it and be a wonderful Mom. God has
a reason for this for you. I know that you are suffering though and I wish there was a way to change it for you!

[judy]

My .02 about the Duggars is very judgemental, but I think they are whacked out!

I feel bad that I'm judging these people, but it is what it is.

[Dobie]

I've watched the tv specials, and it's obvious that the kids are well taken care of and seem happy - I just wonder if they get the individual attention that kids needs.

I agree. I'm sure that they have something worked out to have one-on-one time with each child. I have some friends that have 9 kids and I know that the Mom takes each child out to eat so she has some one-on-one time with each of them.

The Duggars have worked out a system where the older children help out with the younger chldren. It would certainly help with the parents stress level. The children seem to be very well behaved. I think that it's great that they are taking care of their family without any financial help.
