Re: Duggars clan grows

  • i'm amazed it took them 7 months!!!
  • I saw that on the Today show! They're only 20 years old. Imagine that. It's funny because they were married 6 days after our wedding.

  • Well, actually it took them 4 mo from marriage.  And I read somewhere that they TTC for 3 mo before success.  CRAZY!  They barely knew each other (physically) before marriage, and now adding a child?  The first yr of marriage is prob the most challenging.  Lots of adjustments.  Add a baby into the mix, and you have a recipe for disaster, JMHO.

  • its a young age to have kids.  but i think they are much more stable than most 20 yr olds.  and they have a good family background.  so if i had imagine 20 yr olds becoming parents, i think they are the better candidate.
  • Totally crazy. I mean, to each their own and I think they seem like very happy, wholesome, good people, but every time I read something about them I get the creeps. They're so young!

    I wonder if Michelle will stop having kids now, or if Grandchild #1 will have some baby aunts and uncles to look after in the future Stick out tongue

  • Omg yes I saw this on NBC yesterday too!

    I have to say....I think I agree with MrsRod. Most of those kids in that family hve grown up taking care of their baby brothers and sisters. I think the girl has double the maturity than most 20 year olds. I curious as to whether she is going to begin A new clan of 18 children.....creepy!

  • Ok, I love big families and I hope to one day have kids of my own too. But what I don't understand was their rush to have kids! They're only 20 years old, what's the urgency? They have more than enough time to start a family. Maybe having kids right away is a norm for them.

    This is exactly my concern with them.  I agree with Cynthia. I believe they have the maturity level to handle being parents, and we know the father to be had the exprience (not sure her background).  But they have been married for such a short amount of time, and they are so young!  To each it's own.

  • I 100% agree with that too- they are so young! I would have thought that after living with 20 people in one house she would have enjoyed being "alone" with her husband for quite some time. Oh well!

  • I saw this on the today show and my jaw dropped to the floor. it's just crazy .. before they were married they barely got know each other (there was no dating) and now they are barely married .. beginning to get acquainted and build a foundation in their relationship and now this.

     This is all very "stepford wife" to me

  • I agree I think they should have built a better foundation between them before they had children. They have  long time to start a family and only 3 months after getting married they started trying.

     

    But I really can't say anything because my parents conceived my brother on their honeymoon (mom was 21 and dad was 25) and then me a year later and they are still married. 27 years this last Janurary but still that was in the 80's and it was a little easier to raise of your kids then than it is now. 

    I wish them luck and hope they don't get in over their heads b/c that girl seems a little unsure of herself. 

  • I was watching it last night on TLC and they all were at a Play (main star was Kirk Cameron) and he had to kiss a woman so one of the kids says to the mom "mom are they married?" and she says "yes they are"

     

    They instill in these kids not even to kiss before marriage... a little to far out for me IMHO
