Woman pregnant with 18th child

Image...
Mother's Day is a bigger deal to Michelle Duggar than most Moms.

The 41-year-old Arkansas woman is pregnant with her 18th child. Duggar says she is due on New Year's Day. The latest addition to the family will join seven sisters and 10 brothers, all of whose names start with the letter J.

The Duggars' oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months.

The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 650-square-metre home.

Duggar and her husband, Jim Bob, say they plan to keep having children as long as God wills it.

Duggar has been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.

    "you know what" hehheh I believe it's called a vagina. There's no harm in calling it what it is. :)

    Add four more to this picture to update it.

    I feel so bad for those kids. How can one possibly have a good relationship with their parents when you have SEVENTEEN other children vying for their attention?

    Wow, this is sad. Overpopulation choking the world of it's resources (coupled with greed) and there are families having almost 20 children . . .

  •  

    This is irresponsible. Our planet is overcrowded now. We use 25% more natural resources every year than the planet is capable or replenishing. Overpopulation is a crisis now.

    Sad, is not the thing to be LarissaDistler68c and cCashman. ur mother spit u out wit no problem so whats wrong wit a family of 20. God put this family together for a reason and the only thing that we can do is pray that the following kids will be as strong and healthy as the rest. So my God continue to bless the Duggar family

    God put this family together? I do believe a lack of contraception and an abundance of sex had a bit more to do with it.

    How having kids make them selfish and irresponsible aborting kids is where those terms come in to play ur generation was not selfish and irresposible when ur family was in the process of being made

    This story might be a good posterchild for global warming.

    Hi, we're the Overpopulated Humans.

    It's time to start making laws around this. or at the very least, "let the market take care of it" and give people tax incentives to have less children.

    Oh look, it's the Stepford family with yet another offspring. *shudders*

    I don't think these people are being selfish I think they have certain beliefs that encourage lack of contraception, etc. I have watched the Discovery Health programs on this family and they are resourceful and responsible people. Would I have 18 kids? Never. But at least they are not driving multiple cars, building multiple million dollar houses and spending hours in a jumbo jet like many celebrities these days.

    This never would have happened in China. I'm going to start a petition to have these people stop making babies...I will update everyone when it is available.

    $1200 + ($300*18) = $6600

    i dont think that there is anything wrong with them, infact i cant believe that some people are even giving oppinions about these peoples lives. cmon leave them alone to do what they chose. thats all we have left of america is choice. even that is diminishing down to nothing. why cant people just be left alone to live. for crying out loud they are not terrorists os anything.

    as good as that is that seems so gross and i wonder how they thought of that many names with the letter j

    I don't feel this family is selfish. As a matter of fact it takes quite a bit of you to raise a child. And if you were to learn about this family you would find that waste is not a habit in their household.As I matter of fact I have found the bigger the family the less waste you are allowed. Also in response to building a relationship with the parents I can speak from my own extended family's upbringing. My dad is 3rd youngest of 16. He loved his parents and they loved him. Each of the chidlren had their own personality and was treated as such. They were also at different levels so the types of realtionships they required were very different from one another. Besides there could be things like people dying from incurrable diseases, a rise in poverty and the lack of a support systems for our chidlren that could take up media attention but that would not be so interesting I guess.

    This is not China, so they can do whatever they want. As long as they're [everybody in the family] happy about it. Besides, they are the ones that's gonna have to face the fact that they probably bumped up the population by some percent. We can all sit here and say, "oh how irresponsible... this is not good.. this planet is overpopulated" but we can't really stop this couple from doing what they like to do. They've already had their kids and it's not like they can put them back up into her vagina. That wouldn't be a pretty picture.

    it's not really irresponsible. i'm sure that the world population is the last thing on their minds.

    it is a little weird. it's obvious that they're religious to whichever denomination.

    it's kinda weird that all of the names start with J.

    i've seen the discovery specials on this family. im sure they mean well. i just wonder how the kids will develop. i feel like they take care of each other more than the parents take care of them...only b/c there are too many.

    See what happens when you believe that sex is only for reproduction.
