Re: 18 kids??
They have a show on TLC. I know there was some hooplah about their financial situation at one point. They were renting a house and got evicted and then all of a sudden they have this tv show and are building an umpteen thousand square foot home with an industrial kitchen.
Plus each kids name starts out with a J. They have to run out of names eventually right??
I agree with Mel. I think it's terrible to do that to the older kids. And they have to schedule time with their mom or dad.
Some day that woman's uterus is going to fall out.
Ok I almost shot coffee out my nostrils on that one.
I agree. They are making their oldest ones do all the work and raise the youngest ones.
Do they even know the children as individuals?
Or will they get out on their own and not know what to do with just one or two or three people?
Can you imagine being the girlfriend or boyfriend who comes into that family. I thought DH having 5 brothers and sisters was hard to please.
The oldest son who was married in September wants to have a big family too.
Way to put a positive spin on the financial situation.
I didn't think of that.
I just want 1! But that seems to be too much to ask. I don't get it...
adding my .02 cents to the financial topic.
Don't they also claim their home as a church so I think they are (or were) getting some type of tax break or non-profit break from that as well, don't they? I could be wrong but I thought I read that somewhere.
DH watched the show for all of 5 minutes and said, "Her birth canal must be like a log flume ride at an amusement park by now."
I jumped ship when the family went to a creationist museum on a road trip, and the museum explained dinosaurs existed because Adam and Eve screwed up the garden of Eden and they were monsters sent by God. I'm all for religion, but that seemed they were trying a little too hard to make things fit.
Ultimately my opinion is, to each his own...and they can keep thier own.I heard about that, actually. I wonder what the wife thinks of that. I have to assume she's on board or she wouldn't have married him. Just what the world needs. A whole new branch of Duggars overbreeding.
My innner paleontologist is screaming. I missed that episode. We have the fossils, we win!
But I do give the family credit that feed and clothe their kids without state aid.
Ahh yes, but the creationists found a way to explain fossil evidence and fit it into their creationist paradigm. It's creative that's for sure. But the actual museum was funny because it was a beautiful Adam and Eve display, and then a scary T-Rex. I kind of went, "Whaaa?"
