Arkansas mom Michelle Duggar gives birth to 18th child

I think having that many children is irresponsible. When it comes to the point that your children are raising your children--that is neglectful in my opinion. Sure the kids look happy, they may even say they're happy. But what life have these kids even lived excpet for raising their siblings?
Where does this mother find the time to nurture her children? Where do they find the time to spend quality time with each child, as each child requires? They don't. They have their older children do this for them? I don't think that is fair to the children at all. They should be able to grow as individuals and learn who they are instead of trying to raise their younger siblings. But that's just my opinion.
 
some women actually enjoy being pregnant and as a result of their attitude, it is alot easier to endure what happens during pregnancy
its the ****ing pro-choice whackos who see pregnancy as a cruel violation of their bodily sovereignty that act like the effects of pregnancy are unbearable
and because of thier attitude, they magnify what they are going thru for the worse. Attitude is everything

Why is it always a man lecturing women on how much fun pregnancy can be?
 
They totally creep me out:shock: Kids are more like slaves doing child labor rather than just being kids:(
 
What can ya say about this family? They don't collect welfare. They home school their kids.

They will grow up to be taxpayers when all the boomers have retired. They won't be in prison. They'll be the type to stop and help when someone needs it.

Just the numbers on this lean towards at least one or two of those kids will rebel and end up in trouble. Hope I am around to read about it too:rofl
 
Yeah, I saw when they went to the thrift store and got a bunch of clothes. I bet she's a couponer, too.

Oh, the groovy cousin came to visit who wasn't so religious. They went to a religious theme park which nobody watching had any idea such a thing existed.

Jon and Kate should just drop off their eight kids for a couple of weeks and nobody would notice. Well, they might notice that brat, Cara. ;)

Offtopic but the brat in of that family is not Cara.. Maddy is the brat. :mrgreen:
 
You can't be too much of an individualist in that kind of situation. Must be a team.

And they look precious and adorable in the uniforms.

Precious and adorable in the uniforms? It is total cookie cutter style:doh
 
The whole Duggar family was just on the Today Show. Mrs. Duggar looked great.

When asked if someone can have too many children she said "can there be too many flowers?"

There is nothing wrong about that family.

Parents who have children in order to get a welfare check are the bad parents, not the Duggars.

Because fun to a man is carrying around 25 extra pounds, not wearing shoes because your feet are so swollen, getting sick all day long, backaches, cramping, little feet kicking your ribs 24/7, heartburn, high blood pressure, and mood swings. A barrel of fun ain't it? :lol:

No offense, but seeing a family on TV an hour a week is not an accurate picture of their life. At most you saw maybe 2minutes of each kid. Its not as if the show is a candid view of their lives, they are always happy and doing their chores. Can anyone say they've experienced this picture perfect lifestyle personally? Even well behaved children can be cranky and misbehave yet theirs do not. Perhaps this is the perfect christian family, but the real world suggests it is more likely a skilled TV producer and the family concerned how the world perceives them. For that matter I don't think anyone can predict what will happen to this new generation of reality TV children.

well no wonder men had to subjugate women
what woman in her right mind would willingly put herself through the horrors of pregnancy
how in hte world has the human race managed to survive for thousands of years:roll:

one more fine example of the wussification of America
good news is that atleast those too weak to handle pregnancy will be eliminated from the gene pool
good riddance to the weak
 
Seems to me that many of you need to mind your own damned business. Seriously, who the hell are you to be telling anyone how many children they may have? I mean, if that's your attitude, you'd be better off in China, comrade. Take a hike!
 
Limit one per household.

Yeah, a simple discussion of family size?

Sorry, but some of the comments posted here are far more reflective of personal outrage than inquisitive discussion. :roll:

I know. Someone told people to "Take a hike!". :shock:

Why should anyone mind their business? We're not the ones who put our entire family's life on display at the freak TV network TLC.

Personally I think their plan is to find partners for their kids, since they are currently lacking a normal social life.
 
are one of the duggars members here?

Basic law of averages says: probably.
 
Theme song to the TLC show:

She's got the whole world in her Vag!
She's got the whole world in her Twat!
She's got the whole world in her Box!
She's got the whole world in her Cooch!

She's got my brothers and my sisters in her Snatch!
She's got my brothers and my sisters in her Crotch!
She's got my brothers and my sisters in her Cooter!
She's got the whole world in her Beaver!

She's got the sun and the rain in her Love Biscuit!
She's got the moon and the stars in her Pink Taco!
She's got the wind and the clouds in her Vertical Crocodile!
She's got the whole world in her Snake Socket!

She's got the rivers and the mountains in her Worm Corral!
She's got the oceans and the seas in her Passion Pit!
She's got you and he's got me in her Wanger Hanger!
She's got the whole world in her Prick Purse!

She's got everybody here in her Eel Pasture!
She's got everybody there in her Rodent Bag!
She's got everybody everywhere in her Moose Canoe!
She's got the whole world in her Wombat Trap!

I'm thinking that if you took Jabba the Hut and sliced him vertically from head to foot and spread the opening waaaay out you would duplicate the probable appearance of this lady's split critt...

Nevermind. That's way too graphic.

They do show the little kids being brats sometimes. Example is on recent show when they went to visit the hospital where mommy was gonna give birth they showed them this waiting room for kids and had this big wall of lights that the kids can play with and make their own light show desgin. Well you are suppose to simply touch thiswall of lights to make it light up but a lot of those kids were Pounding on that board like crazy! Mom kept saying be quite and gentle. It was funny watching em pounding like crazy:rofl

Well, to be fair, Mrs. Duggar doesn't have the word "no" in her vocabulary. :lol:
 
Yes, they are all nice kids. Well behaved and helpful. And I don't see any yelling at them.

If the parents around here could just teach their 1 or 2 children how to say please and thank you I'd be thrilled! What if they could teach the kids not to litter!?:)

I noticed the no yelling too, and the kids don't even get loud. Sorta surreal. You came from a family of seven. Did your mom ever yell, if she did, do you still hold animosity b/c of it?
 
In general there is a declining birth rate in the USA, so we should be grateful that these folk are helping to keep our native population growth rate from declining ever faster.

Yeah, but do we want everybody to look alike?

It's called editing. :mrgreen: They may have a deal where they control what gets shown. Oh, the unreality of reality.

They probably have a lot of pent up anger cause none of them actually ever get any real attention from Mom and Pop. I never see all that much dishing out of attention. I mean how can one mother possibly spend a lot of one on one with any of them. She has to be doing a lot of cooking and laundry, but of course the nice little angels help with everything. TV makes everything so fake.
