Mother Pregnant with 18th child!- Page 2

From what I also remember, the parents do sort of stop taking care of the kids as soon as they are old enough to take care of their own basic needs. When they become one of the older kids, they are responsible for helping with the little ones. Like they do some stupid buddy system thing. I think that's a little wrong. It's one thing to be able to do things yourself as a kid such as dressing yourself, bathing yourself, etc... But, being a kid and helping another kid is just wrong, in my opinion. Sure, I would expect the teenagers to be helping a bit, but the parents should really be in charge, and not the kids.

well you know who raises the kids.....the older kids.
No one who is pregnant for 11 years can take care of the needs of their children....

Kids should not be raising kids.

A baby factory......how proud she must be....NOT!

The parents clearly just have sex and don't believe in birth control. It seems that way anyway because they did say that they would have all the children that God would bless them with.

There are a lot of Catholic families that don't use birth control and they don't have 18 kids. The Duggars are part of a specific "movement" called Quiverfull where they believe the Bible tells people to have as many kids as humanly possible. "As many as God blesses" means "actively attempt to get pregnant 6 months postpartum".


How do you even get to enjoy them or cultivate a special relationship with them individually when there are that many?

According to the Today show, they have a schedule for one-on-one time with their mom.

I read that the youngest is only 9 months old!

I've seen their TLC shows and I always feel so sorry for them. Assuming that all 18 were born "naturally", I'm surprised her that the babies don't fall out too soon!

That woman is just a walking uterus.

Vagina. It's not a clown car.

She doesn't have a vagina so much as a tennis ball machine that shoots out children instead of balls.

The kid's just gonna fall out around month 7

I can say one thing for them. Clearly being Mormon and one of those "extreme mormons" too, at least they don't appear to be marrying any of their daughters off, and from the TLC show seemed to have fairly wholesome values, so perhaps they are better off than others!

I actually lived near them for a while. Very nice people if a little strange. One of my best friends used to babysit for some of them.

Quoting directly from the mom: "Children are like flowers. And how can anyone have too many flowers?"

I wonder if anyone has told her that flowers don't use up limited natural resources, or leave a carbon footprint, or add to the problem of global overpopulation. Being a proponent of Zero Population Growth, I find her reasoning ridiculous.

Regarding how they afford 18 kids: According to one of their TLC specials, they live entirely debt free. They purchase everything secondhand (clothes, cars, kitchen equipment, etc). The dad is a real estate agent, and the family owns several commercial properties.

All their kids have names that begin with the letter J. This is annoying when any family decides to do so, but aren't they running out of names yet?

Hee- one of the kids is named 'Jinger' (as in Ginger, but not)- as long as there are cr8ive spellings to be had there is an endless supply of J names... I'm surprised they managed to get to child #17 before using 'Jennifer'!

Jesus loves you.


But really he loves you more if you use birth control.

EVERY SPERM IS SACRED:

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

GIRL:
Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

MUM:
Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

MEN:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
WOMEN:
If a sperm is wasted,...
CHILDREN:
...God get quite irate.

PRIEST:
Every sperm is sacred.
BRIDE and GROOM:
Every sperm is good.
NANNIES:
Every sperm is needed...
CARDINALS:
...In your neighbourhood!

CHILDREN:
Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
FUNERAL CORTEGE:
God needs everybody's.
MOURNER #1:
Mine!
MOURNER #2:
And mine!
CORPSE:
And mine!

NUN:
Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
HOLY STATUES:
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

EVERYONE:
Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!
