Well, I’m an only child. That’s what seems “normal” to me.

Ex wife and I had two kids, that seemed like a lot.

These folks? Seems a bit obscene really.

Just too many in my opinion.

What you’re used to, of course, “feels” normal, and I can understand that. But here we have generous childbearing by people whose time, health, talents, energy, interests, and material resources fully support this generosity: your idea that this is “obscene” is -— let me choose a word carefully here -— unfounded.

My dad was too - that's why he thought the four of us were constantly verging on homicide. He's greatly relieved to see how our relationships have matured.

I admit that at any given time growing up there was at least one sibling I would have paid to have taken away, but now that we're all adults, I wish there'd been a couple more. We're pretty close.

A bit obscene? Mmmm I think you’re just jealous because Mr. Duggar always “gets some.”
