And Baby Makes 20! Duggars Welcome New Daughter

Actually she doesn't have 20 children. This is her 18th child and her 16th pregnancy. They are saying that the 18th child now makes them a family of 20 -- 18 children + 2 Parents = (drum roll please...LOL) 20 people.

ppsssttttt....they have 18 kids the parents make 20, so 15 pregnancies with two sets of twins is correct!

20 people in the family, check your math or at least read the story and get your facts straight.... just like your ilk to find something so trivial to pursue!!!!!

whoops... so there are only 18 kids, sorry about that... but wouldn't that make 16 pregnancies anyway?

and I hardly think that comment space on ParentDish are meant for exclusively non-trivial issues. No reason to be rude!

Umm. WRONG!!!!!
18 kids, two sets of twins, one miscarrige, 17 pregnancies (including 3 c-sections)

I totaly agree. How can any sensible person in this society, in this day have 18 kids! They should have their heads examined or their reproductive organs fixed. I hope the government is not subsidizing them in any way.

Maybe if they had cable TV it would cool them off some. They both should be arested.

Takes one to know one.

its really not fair to the older children. Sure the mom has the kid but the older girls seem to be the ones actually raising it and taking care of all the other little ones.

Congratulations.

For those who do not see the benefits of living in a large family, I feel sorry for you. Coming from one myself, a family of 8, we always put someone else first besides ourselves. Isn't that what brings happiness in to our lives? Sharing, giving, enjoying family. It's a good thing.

SURE THE GOVT IS GIVING THEM MONEY THEY HAVE BEEN ITS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS WAKE UP IF THE GOVT STOPPED GIVING FREE FOOD, WIC AND FOOD STAMPS THEN STOP FREE EVERYTHING FOR THEM, THEY THEY WOULD STOP HAVING SEX.. NO RELIGIONS HERE ... THEY COULD STOP HAVING KIDS, THEY DO NOT LOOK MALNAURUISHED BUT THEY ARE JUST BEATUFIUL GIFTS OF GOD... I COULD NOT HAVE KIDS ARE THEY WILLING TO SHARE ONE WITH US? A GIRL PREFERBLY THERE IS TOO MANY BOYS IN OUR FAMILY

Would someone please cut that mother's hair! Good Gawd...it's hiddeous!

Some of you are so ridiculous. Of course, it may seem strange these days to have such a large family, but they take care of themselves and each other, they DON'T rely on anyone else to give them handouts, and they seem happy and loving. I wish I could be so relaxed and nurturing with my three children, and I envy their ability to manage their home so capably.

very true, they should have to pay for the services that their family requires. and no tax brakes .

CONGRATS ON BABY 18 DUGGARS!!!!!

Anyone with anything negative to say can shut up. They are a lovely family that support themselves with better morals than 99.5% of our countries population. The children are happy and well loved and this society thinks they can bash them? Their 18 children get more attention from their siblings than your family does. They can teach us all about sharing and patience. They are well traveled, well educated, polite, and honest. You could not ask for better qualities in a human beings. They get bashed because simple minded people can't understand their concept of a large family. That is pure bull. I'm from a family of six and family is what carries us in tough times. If you never had it you probably can't understand it so no need to make yourself look ignorant.

And if you don't know it they get no public assistance. They make their money in real estate investments and don't need anyone's approval but the man above.

E wulf you are an idiot. You can't even spell tax break but you've got something to say. Another one that needs to just shut up.

You are an idiot. Have you seen any of the shows on this family? They do not get any public assistance, their children are all home schooled, and they are all perfectly fine with buying used clothing from the thrift stores. Unlike the usual welfare scum buckets, who buy name brand cigarettes and pop with the tax money from the sweat off my A**. Those are the ones whose kids are in daycare, (funded by the state), while they go to college, (funded by the state), using top of the line cell phone bought with welfare money, then when they do get a job the quit because it isn't fun to work for a living , it's easier to let to state pay for everything. This family is paying for their children through hard work and smart investments as well as smart purchasing. They built their own home, unlike you welfare scums who live in low rent housing again off the sweat of my A**. How dare you pass judgement on this family.
