Duggar Family Expecting 19th Freaking Child!

The Hollywood Gossip ^ | September 1st, 2009

They know that each child is a blessing from God even handicapped children.

the Duggars are certainly best known not for their romps but the romper rooms in their 7,000 square-foot home,

Michelle and her husband Jim Bob are shooting the second season of “The Duggar Family: 17 and Counting.”

How do they do it? The answer, in part, can be found in their new book, appropriately titled, “The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One of America’s Largest Families—How They Do It.”

I’d assume they are taking advantage of the huge tax exemption.... :-)

[HiTech RedNeck]

Keep this up and they could have their own private church.

[Cindy]

“They are blessed.”

Ditto.

If she keeps having kids at 42 plus years of age, she is at real risk for a handicapped child.

Stop while ahead IMO.

I'll expand on my "wow" post. I would ask you this: why would you assume that this family shares your "values" (such as they may be) and attitude toward such children? For that matter, why should they care whether you think they should have more kids? And what business is it of yours?

[A CA Guy]

Nothing wrong with saying stop at 19 or what ever she is at.

42 is old and at that point she is at a high risk for having children with problems.

[RobbyS]

We had one and we had only four, and we were not that old. The lady is a good baby-maker and since they are done the natural way, and in not in a lab, the odds are in her favor.

How much taxpayer money does that involve? (Hint: none)

[kcvl]

Are they?

100% yes!

“Want to read the comments that this article generates.”

I made the mistake of taking a peek at the comments. Wow! can you believe the hate some people have for large Christian homes? One moron called them cockroaches.

[A CA Guy]

But with a gazillion kids already they don’t need to be making more when risks for bad results are very high.

There's a lot wrong with someone other than them saying stop (or go, for that matter). What business is it of yours?

42 is old and at that point she is at a high risk for having children with problems.

Do you think they don't know that? How is it anyone's decision but theirs whether it's worth the "risk" - and who are you to decide for them that having a child with a disability is worse than saying "stop"?

[christianhomeschoolmommaof3]

Yes I can. I have been the recipient of some of that hate and I only have 3 children.

[xjcsa]

But with a gazillion kids already they don’t need to be making more when risks for bad results are very high.

Again - says who? Do you really think this should be your decision rather than theirs?

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I heard some lefty women making snide comments about this situation.

I said “her body, her choice” and the look they gave me was priceless.

[kcvl]

Only a stupid liberal Hollywood gossip magazine would call a child a “Freaking Child”.

Exactly! I guess because it's not a Hollywood 'star' having them, buying them, shaking up or lesbian/gay couple. Then it would be 'fine' with them! As if anyone gives a crap what they think.

[MTMS]

hehe..good one

[xjcsa]

I said “her body, her choice” and the look they gave me was priceless.

Awesome.

Do you think Sarah Palin considers Trig a "bad result"?
