Mother of 18 children!

By JILL ZEMAN, Associated Press Writer Fri May 9, 5:25 PM ET

                        LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a happy Mother's Day for an Arkansas woman — she's pregnant with her 18th child. Michelle Duggar, 41, is due on New Year's Day, and the latest addition will join seven sisters and 10 brothers. There are two sets of twins.                                                 


                    "We've had three in January, three in December. Those two months are a busy time for us," she said, laughing.

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

The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.
Duggar has been been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.
The new show looks at life inside the Duggar home, where chores — or “jurisdictions” — are assigned to each child. One episode of the new show involves a “jurisdiction swap,” where the boys do chores traditionally assigned to the girls, and vice versa, Duggar said.
“The girls swapped jurisdictions, changing tires, working in the garages, mowing the grass,” she said. “The boys got to cook supper from start to finish, clean the bathrooms,” among other chores.
Duggar said she’s six weeks along and the pregnancy is going well. She and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar, said they’ll keep having children as long as God wills it.

“The success in a family is first off, a love for God, and secondly, treating each other like you want to be treated,” Jim Bob Duggar said. “Our goal is for each one of our children to be best friends, and everybody working together to serve each other makes that happen.”
The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jennifer, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 16; Jessa, 15; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 7; James, 6; Justin, 5; Jackson, 3; and Johannah, 2.

Whoa! :hayaa: You know she’s got a full-time job plus over overtime already. How do people manage such grand families?

Re: Mother of 18 children!

Re: Mother of 18 children!

I find this fairly disgusting. Considering all the children in the world that need a mother, the MILLIONS of orphans, this woman chooses to add 18 more to overpopulation.

Re: Mother of 18 children!


Interesting. So 18 children getting a mother is not a positive view of the situation?

Re: Mother of 18 children!

Those weren't 18 needy children. Those were children that this woman chose to bring into the world, while bypassing the millions who already need a mother.

Forgive me if I sound bitter, but I've seen what happens to orphans. They deserve parents, and so many people have too much pride in their last name/blood line, or are so selfish as to pass on their "genes," to take the suffering of millions of children into consideration and try to alleviate their pain.

Re: Mother of 18 children!

Isn't that like buying a $60000 car when a $25000 one will do you just fine? I mean the $35K couldv'e done a lot for a lotta needy ppl right? or like buying a nice shalwar kamiz when a plain cotton one can do just fine? Point is that we all have different preferences when it comes to what we really want out of life. If this lady is happy being a mother of 18, then its her choice right?

True, helping orphans (in any which way) is a noble deed, but you cant expect ppl to have less kids (when they are willing & capable) just coz there are others out there living life without a parent.
