I got nothin’.
“I got nothin’.”
How about:
“It is a uterus, not a clown car”
One hell of a woman!
An impressive feat. It is not for slackers, the lazy, or whiners.
I don’t understand why a conservative has a problem with a mother having 15 children. Are you an environmentalist?
That’s a tough hike. She might assure that only the strongest survive.

Wonderful and incredible.
It seems like a great way to regroup as a family. The kids will have that experience and the confidence it brings for the rest of their lives.
Is that how you think about your wife? Or your daughter if you have one?
Too often, American women leave their husband because they're "unhappy".
I think the duggars soured the “have as many kids as possible” thinking.
I find it weird that a couple with 15 kids would divorce, but without knowing the actual facts...
Well, that’s ridiculous. The fact that the Duggars would go on a reality show, shows there was something wrong with them, and being on TV made it worse.

That many children and a divorced husband doesn’t sound conservative to me. It sounds selfish.
Prov. 14:1 Every wise woman builds up her household, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands
Wow, that’s the best feel good story I have read in a long time. It actually brought a tear to my old eyes.....
Quite a hike. Had a pal do that in the 90s. He mostly ate hb eggs and bologna sammies. But he was alone, not dragging kids. Big bonding moment.
That’s alot of grub and poop stops for that crew...
Hats off.
Where did he get hard boiled eggs?
