[MerlinsBeard]

[schneebly]

[LouLou13]

Joely for a girl? Joel for a boy?

They believe that every child they have is a gift from God. So everytime she gets pg then it is meant to be.
I am amazed that her body, particularly her womb has held out.
Good luck to them.
I dread to think how much it costs

[TakeMeHome]

How about J for "JUST-STOP-NOW" ??

[llareggub]

It also said on the documentary that they have no debt at all, not even a mortgage.

[MerlinsBeard]

they built that huge house themselves IIRC

[gigglewitch]

that's a few too many kids. my work is cut out with three

[chewlips]

Have seen a documentary on them before. They are home ED, they built most of the house themselves and did it as an exercise on costing etc as part of their home ED.

When they go on "vacation" the parents get them all to wear similar colours so she can easily spot them.

[MsHighwater]

They had a family website but it seems to have been taken over by Discovery channel here.

[colacubes]

My Lord, this women must never have a headache!!

[MsHighwater]

I find myself imagining the teenage rebellion potential in this family!

[Nighbynight]

18 kids, home ed and a house? how do they do it?? and respect.

[cadelaide]

how spectacularly unimaginative

[Astrophe]

wow. I think my uterus will fall out if I keep going past 4! But tbh, that website makes me want to have lots and lots - I haven't seen the TV show, but they look like sweet kids and a really happy family.

[cadelaide]

Oh stop it you lot.

Yes they're all very lovely and admirable and everything but all their names begin with J.

How can you all overlook such idiocy?

[stuffitllama]

Jeronimo

[expatinscotland]

It's all God's will, too.

Erm, yeah, right.

If you want to go down that path, well, then God invented the atomic bomb, too.

Only in America would complete freaks like this with zero respect for the environment be lauded as a good example.

[expatinscotland]

She had been advised by OBs not to have anymore and had trouble finding an OB to deliver her 17th.

She also deliberately formula feeds from a young age in order to fall pregnant again.

[edam]

I wonder how long we will have to wait before the first misery-lit allegedly autobiographical work from one of the kids complaining about what hell it was to grow up in such a big family...

[expatinscotland]

It could be a while if the Duggars have done their job of indoctrinating and brainwashing their kids well.

[WillyWonka]

Aside from the many issues that arise from bringing 18 children into the world, giving them all with the same initial is just bloody stupid and rather unfair. Imagine all the post addressed to "J Duggar" that will need to be opened to find out who it might be for, meaning that they won't even manage a degree of privacy with written correspondence. I find that quite sad.

As for a name, how about Johnny - as in rubber.

[beforesunrise]

i feel faint. 18 kids- why? why? why???????????????????

it must be either like a circus in there or else they run one of those scary disciplinarian verging on despotic households.

and that's even before you start thinking about the fact that all the kids have names beginning with J so they won't stand out! WTF????? do everything you can to erase their individuality before they can even think?

sorry- this all makes me slightly uneasy

[kittywise]

I suspect that there are many parents of 2 children who do a much worse job of raising their kids than the duggars.
