Baby Josie Duggar Celebrates First Birthday

Nineteen kids is a bit to much for any woman to have. I hope she doesn't pop another kid out soon. Their worse than rabbits.

I get so tired of reading comments from people who think the Duggars are sickly, selfish, government supported. Nothing is further from the truth. They do more than most of us do towards making our planet secure. Has anyone of these critical commenters ever checked out their website. I learned alot about saving money by making my own household items. The family is supported by investments the family made. These kids are taught to love each other. That's one thing my mother forgot to teach me and my 3 siblings. The older ones help with the younger ones and when time comes, the roles will change. I know this is a lame comment, but I do enjoy their trips and seeing the love that flows through every one of them. So There!

I would like to see them deal with "one" Autistic child for a year! Just one! They might, just might look into birth control then! Don't get me wrong I love my son but he is like having 100+ children in the home. My house is a mess I can't work nobody will watch him it's like being in jail! I am wondering what if any this last child of theirs will have any disabilities?

Frankly, it's no one's business how many children they have. Barb is right, they had 17 kids and financially getting along just fine before anyone decided to get them involved in a TV show. If YOU don't want dozens of kids, then fine...thank God innocent children won't be raised by the likes of some of you. As for the Duggar children, at least we know of 19 young people who will be fine, upstanding citizens.

tv channels and the public should not encourage these kinds of shows, these people oviously use their childen to make money. the older children can't be be kids they are too busy helping raise their siblings. it's hard enough giving 2 or 3 kids the attention they need, muchless 20. the audience supporting these types of shows aught to be ashamed of themselves. This woman does not love her children, if she did she would not be thinking about having another one after the problems the last one has. the uterus can only take so much abuse. kids need love, attention and nurturing not money or over exposure. shame on all you supporters of these shows.let them feed and clothe them without money from the show. ignorence is man's worst enemy. this couple is ignorant and selfish in my book.

Thankfully the child is fine; however the amount of children is ridiculous! This is one woman who obviously can’t deal with a child growing up and constantly needs an infant. The husband is no help either for supporting this. The other children will never admit neglect of attention for the sake of their reputation. Now the TV show has only continued to support their obsession by condoning this behavior. Hopefully all the children will go to college (because of course the parents can afford this or via scholarship), have a stable job and support themselves when they grow up. We’ll see.
Anyone bringing a child into this world SHOULD prepare them for life properly so the child can somewhat endure this life. We’ll see in 10 years when the mother has another 8 children and the eldest children are on public assistance.
As for our Grandparents and parents (who are between the ages of 60-75), they grew up in a different era where hard work was not a second thought, unlike the generation today who thinks everything should be handed to them and pitches a fit if their parents don't get them the latest gamebox, etc. And those parents are morons because they're in my age group 40+ where some of us (obviously not me) think because we had it hard b/c we worked for it, that they would make it easier for their children. Good going raising spoiled brats.

You are so wrong Barb. Daddy Duggar lost his job and was getting his butt kicked to the curb with all his spawn. Some lady donated that HUGE house and EVERYTHING in it so they wouldn't be homeless. She also donated the van so they wouldn't be catching the bus. That's the first show and the last show I ever saw of them. I know there are worse families out there, but the parents are not raising their kids alone. They have WAY too much help. I bet his oldest son follows in his dads donated footsteps.

How dare anyone condemn a woman the legal right to have as many children as she is able! You all act like she is bringing forth armies of humans into our world. Do you not know that daily the world population is being destroyed by famine, wars, 'natural disasters', disease and 'natural death'????? No, Michelle is not 'preserving the human race'... don't anyone dare say that. But in the United States of America, land of the 'free' (?) I thought we all were entitled to live our own lives without government interference and/or dirty looks from those who are prejudiced against us. Isn't THAT why our ancestors left England and other countries... for a better world... that of freedom and respect? Shame on you naysayers.

I think they should be allowed to have as many children as they want as long as they are able to support them financially and emotionally. Their children are very respectful and smart. Some parents have a difficult time just raising 2 kids and they are able to raise 19 wonderful children. Even thought i do agree with their lifestyle i think they should stop having anymore children. Michelle is getting older and it's not safe for her or the tiny babies. All the best to Josie and the whole family.

I am not sorry I didn't read the comments in detail that were written before mine. All I can say is that God loves you and I know He is with the Duggar family. I hope they read this... I am with them!!!!!

P.S. If any of the family wish to reply, I would love to hear from you. God Bless You All! And especially Baby Josie (love that name, by the way).

I have 6 children, the oldest 3 were born full term and the youngest 3 were preemies. the very youngest was 2 lb 12 oz at birth and 14 inches long. i had to beg them to tie my tubes before i ended up pregnant again and have an even smaller sicker baby. 6 months later i needed a hysterectomy because my insides were shot. if she healthy enough to keep having kids more power to her. i would have had more if i was able to carry to term.

Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors, especially when the TV spotlight is there. So, they could be all smiles, but no one actually knows except them. The books will out soon for the public to buy in order to support one of the children writing it for the income they need for themselves.
It’s not a case of preserving a human race or anything like that – it’s pure and simple, had it not been for the donation of the house, clothes, diapers, AND landing a TV show (getting paid for it) for this absurdity, they would be on public assistance which we pay for as tax payers.
The church helped out to a point but only could donate so much because the church needed the rest of the money for their legal defense fund!
It’s a whole different story if they were millionaires and can completely afford it. Then have 50 kids. That’s the point.

It is a shame of how bad people talk about the Duggers. They are good Christian people. It does say that when you follow God it will not be easy. So the Duggers are a great example for all Christian they do not follow what everyone thinks, they follow God's instructions. And from what I can see God is very good to them! Thank you Lord! They have a wonderful loving, caring happy family with God as there foundation! I will pray for all of the people that have made very nasty comments as I no the Dugger family is also praying for you. God Bless you all.

Two questions: who are they, and more importantly, why are they?
