Duggars Announce 19th Baby

That is nothing to be proud of! Maybe I wouldn't feel so angered about this if they didn't shelter their children and brainwash them!

I agree.......................This "family" is sick. Look at her, 42 years old, hagged out. Clearly she and her husband believe that they are doing the world a favor.

TAXES: Home schooling or not, the Duggar's receive how MANY tax writeoff's each year which they apply to state and federal? HOW MUCH DO THEY PAY? The county does not tax them on their property.

These people are tax cheats! The children are raising the children while the adults hang out in the sack producing like common animals.

What happened to the Duggar son who had no body hair? I seem to remember him the first season and then he just disappeared. Did I imagine this??

Definition of a cult is a truth twisted. You might want to look at your ideas. Their a family that pays their way before the show and I'm sure after. They produce truly educated, respectful, productive children. I'll challenge you to find that in our wonderful public school ( TRUE CULT), society. Maybe you feel a little convection.

The sad truth is that this woman thinks she does this because of God but the truth is her husband does this to her to prove his manhood. When she dies in a few years because her body gives out from having so many babies maybe the kids will learn. How sad is it that this woman thinks she is nothing better than a baby breeder? Those kids do everything in that house, they became parents of their siblings the moment they were born. What a shame that not a single person in that family will ever learn that they can think for themselves. I pity them, very much.

I am happy for them. They take care of their childern. They are home school and well mannered. They do a better job than a lot of so called parents do with just 1 or 2 kids. It is their life and should be able to do as they wish. We live in America where they have the choice to have a large family. Leave them alone.

Do you honestly believe that these kids are better off because they are home schooled? Give me a break. Those kids are dumb in every sense with the exception of what they are taught by their mother (who apparently knows very little). Put into an environment where they had to deal with real issues in the world they would all collapse and fold. Those kids deserve to be pitied and the parents deserve to be jailed. All the parents are doing is breeding their own little congregation all of whom will serve little purpose for America other than breeding more socially challenged children. What a shame that you would envy them.

That family is FREAKISH. Those kids will never be normal. They dress them like the Amish, shelter them from the 'real world' and only let the TV cameras in to make money so they don't have to work a REAL job to support that CULT they call a family.

Last time I checked, we still live in the United States of America, not China (where you are limited as to the number of children you can have). If these people want to have 50 kids, and they raise them and pay for thier upbringing, who are you on this board to judge or degrade them? What happened to "tolerance"? Or does that only apply when someone agrees with your way of thinking?

I am blown away by these people. The children ARE raising the children. Bravo that she is that fertile...how about considering the many unfortunate children that have no homes, no families....welcome them into your home.
Is Michelle happy being a baby robot...wearing down-trodden clothing and does she really think that little of herself to keep battering her body?

Oh come on..she has had 18 and not a complication. And those are the happiest most well behaved children I have ever seen. Not to mention they aren't so wrapped up in tv or video games that they can't function without them, like the average kid today.
Its not hurting you, how many kids she is having.

Where is all this hostility coming from just because you may not agree with this family. They are not getting hand-outs or expecting anything from anyone. Chill and be happy that these children are loved and well cared for.

Hi Sue: I think you're thinking of the Arndt family. They were featured on Kids by the Dozen. They have 13 boys & one daughter (poor thing!) and they play on a family baseball team. One of their older sons, Mark, has alopecia (loss of body hair). Here's their family website: http://www.famteam.com. They are a very sweet family.

I know, they really are sick! Now I don't know exactly that she'll die from childbirth (that's kind of a sad way to look @ it), although w/her being in her 40s, age itself is obviously a greater risk. Moreover, there's a greater chance for genetic abnormalities. Anyway, moving on from the science factor, clearly Michelle & Jim Bob aren't tired of having children & can't control themselves, but dear God, draw the line somewhere! They pretty much JUST had Jordyn, so now they'll have 2 babies that need constant looking after.

I disagree with many of the comments posted here. I was homeschooled. My husband and I actually even own a business. We are 20 and 27 years old . So I have to disagree That homeschooled kids are dumb. My brother is graduating with a bachelors degree in computer technology he never paid a dime ! He made a 29 on the act and has always had scholarships and a free ride all the way! Not to mention the kids look happy , healthy , and loved. Which is more than I can say about most kids which is terrible! So Please Study Up On What Your Commenting on before you actually do .

I totally agree with you. I'm in shock don't know what to say. These people have a problem. Sick sick sick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would I ever do something like this... NOT ON YOUR LIFE! But, to each his own! I do know one thing, this world would be in alot better shape if more parents would control or teach their kids to be one half as good as these kids are. I commend the Duggars for the way they raise these kids, very polite and manners! I grant you one thing, you won't find these kids in jail for stealing, dealing drugs, rape or murder. Families in the old days use to have 10 or more kids and it was normal. I do not agree with having kids once grandkids come along. Then it is time to stop! I think they are doing an awesome job with their family but it is time to stop!

These people are monsters and the most incredibly selfish people I've ever heard of. Those poor children that never get the necessary attention from their parents and end up raising the younger children whether they like it or not. They should get to vote on whether another child is born. My dog had to be spayed after 2 C-sections because her uterus was so thin, why can't this lady be spayed. And if they are the good Christians they claim to be, why not adopt instead of wasting our resources on more children.
This makes me SO angry!

WHY.....WHY.....WHY? What's the point in having THAT many children? Are they trying for a world record? If you happen to see Mrs. Duggar and notice something dragging the ground behind her, don't worry, it's just her uterus!
