I'm happy with two kids but for some folks that's just not enough. If I had 16 kids... no, it could never happen -- my wife would have killed me by number six. We've covered the Duggars before, but now that number 16 is about to arrive they just need more space. This one-hour show features the Duggar family and their new custom-built Arkansas home. The Duggars and their kids will be on TLC tonight at 8pm and 11pm on 16 Children and Moving In. If you like that you might also want to check out Raising 16 Children on the Discovery Health channel on Wednesday at 8pm. I'm going to watch just to see all the bathrooms.

When I first saw 14 children and pregnant again, I only caught a few brief clips and thought it was mildly interesting. But when I caught the whole show I fell in love with the family. I have always wanted a big family but now they have show me that it is fine to let God bless you with the children He believes you should have. My grandfather is also one of 13 children, so it really didn't bother me that they had 14(now 16) children.

To fay Johnson both Jim Bob and Michelle have their real estate licenses.

If we all could be so nice to each other like the Duggars are then the USA would be so much better off. I'm not interested in having more children but i'm glad they are. They all seem well adjusted, not strange like some families like them are. If you watched the last show you will see what a nice home they made for their family. The oldest son had a media room that would rival some professionals. To each his own. God bless them. They all seem well taken care of.

I think it's very sad that so many on the internet bash this family. Ironically, the same people who have so many negative things to say about the Duggar family are the ones who believe in "reproductive choice". If you are truly about "choice", then you should be supportive of choices you wouldn't make yourself. I wouldn't want 16 kids, either, but I support this family's decision to do so. It's a free country. Not everyone subscribes to the first and second wave feminist idea that having a family, in particular a large one, is "evil".

How can I get my teenage son to open up?

Start by teaching him that it is safe to do so.
