Duggars Announce 20th Baby: What People Are Saying

I just did 100 Kegels.

Congrats to the Duggars! I guess if you can support them, love them, teach them, then be grateful for them. Names? Well, Julianne, Jayme, Janice, or for a boy Jack, Judd, or Jackson. There are plenty of J names left!!

There IS a television show involved here, with ratings, sponsors, and money involved. More pregnancies = more moola. And I'd be interested in hearing what the other kids have to say after the show finally goes off the air. Talk all you want about "blessings," this is a show REALLY based on reality, the reality of cash. Without the show, there would BE no number 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 ....

I just want to quickly comment on the government regulating the number of children a family can have. In China in the large cities, most families are only allowed 1 child (unless they are considered to have extreme wealth). This has raised abortion statistics through the roof (it costs mere pennies), because if a family wants a boy and they are pregnant with a girl, they will get an abortion and try again.

The Duggar family is a very respectful and respectable family. I am speaking from personal knowledge of being around them and maintaining a friendship with them. Their children are very intelligent with high academics scores for when they go to college, and they all work TOGETHER! They are not awkward in social settings and are simply amicable! Michelle's patience with all of her children is a breath of fresh air!

I say to each his (or her) own. Live and let live. If I had even 2 kids I'd happily put my head in an oven...but if this family can take it, more power to them.

Another note: My mother was the 6th child out of 10. The older children did help with the younger while my g'mother did the cooking, cleaning, laundry (in the yard in a tub over a fire), gardening, canning, sewing, and selling eggs. I can say without any hesitation that my mother and her siblings loved each other more than any siblings I have seen. They were very close. Only two are now living and they mourn for the others. It does not hurt older children to help out. Could even be a very good birth control method for them. Work never hurt a kid, as long as it was not with dangerous equipment (and I don't mean lawn mowers or leaf blowers.)

They keep getting pregnant cuz it's the only time that worn out vagina is tight.

am actually happy for her, she has the biggest heart to love 20 kids, and her love is infinite and she can make more, and to see that her kids love her back is a great deal. The Duggar's are a family they help each other out when they need each other...and i love that about them.

take it easy people, methinks thou complains too much.lol im not sure how those children are coping but shes certainly NOT Casey Anthony.and thats something to be thankful for.

I am happy for them, however I worry about the health of these children. Babies born to mothers her age tend to have issues... as did her last child. I just pray for a healthy Mrs. Dugger and baby girl or boy.

PS: Jasmin is a great name ;)

As for the Duggars themselves, Michelle says, "We always have the motto around our house 'There's always room for one more.' They are such a gift, we are so grateful for each one of them."

Oh wow Michelle, if there truly is room for one more, why not adopt a kid who needs said room instead of putting yourself and that baby at risk of death?
Right now I just hope that everything goes well with her and I wish her a good luck.

My question is: if she continues to have periods, she'll continue to get pregnant. Wonder what age she will be done with menopause?

arghhhhhhhh..i feel better..operation..bud lightssss

arghhhhhh.. my ballsssssss

In response to the "kids raising kids is not parenting" business...have any of these people ever experienced living in a large family? They only work BECAUSE everyone helps out. As the oldest of 9, of course I helped take care of my siblings. No one mom can manage that all by herself, and it's not "unfair to the older kids" to expect them to help. That's how family WORKS.

This is the Duggar's business.

If it's their religion, it's their religion. They had all of those kids before TLC so I don't think money has anything to do with it. And for all of those people who talk about the world population, the majority of that growth is happening in India and Africa. At least all of those Duggar kids can pay for the baby boomers' Social Security.

I think it's fantastic news! They are a financially stable couple who have a desire to care for and raise children. Their morals dictate that they don't believe in preventing any gifts that the lord should give them and that's their right. It wasn't until this last century that birth control was even available, my great grandmother was the youngest of 18. She and all of her siblings would get together every chance they could. Once it was only she and her one sister they were in the same nursing home together, best friends. With such a large family the siblings become very close because they do help to care for each other, but really is that any different than a typical family that is smaller? My father was widowed when I was in jr high and I helped to raise my younger sister because he had to work to support us. It's not unfair to the older children, it's family. It's love. A large family teaches selflessness and compassion. This is a beautiful Family.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.........................................

Maybe they're Both sex addicts ? I'm just sayin...
