I saw that earlier. Although it was hard to get past looking at that woman's hair! OMG - I haven't seen anything uglier since Lizzie Bardsley was on 'Wife Swap'.

I think she is addicted to pregnancy or could it be giving birth ??!!

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 13/10/2005 16:29

TIE A KNOT IN IT!

flamebat · 13/10/2005 16:30

Another one???

I saw them on a documentary a while ago!!! They don't use contraception, and will have "as many babies as god blesses them with"

They are quite a freaky family in general (the hair is a fine example).

Unbelievable!!puts me to shame struggling with my one and only!! Watched a documentary about this family.They are very religeous.The children all help out and are well behaved and seem happy.They are very organized parents.They have a pantry like a shop full of food!Once babysat for a family with six daughters and could not believe how much food was consumed in a day.

Oh what - each child's name starts with a J HOW SAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuzzywuzzy · 13/10/2005 16:32

is Jinger a common american name??

lua · 13/10/2005 16:33

LOL expat - the hair was the first thing I noticed too!
How about all the names starting with J. Do you think they knew they would be having to come out with 16 of them when they started?
I only hope they don't have many more!

I don't know what's sadder, that all their names start w/'J', or that she's so ugly, people dress as her to go to Halloween parties .

expatinscotland · 13/10/2005 16:34

Jinger - a name even people in the US will make fun of . . .

flamebat · 13/10/2005 16:35

They probably fancied Ginger but needed a J

lua · 13/10/2005 16:35

Well, I guess I have no excuse for not seeing much "action" with two...
You would think that the pure exhaustion would be enough of an anticonceptional?!

expatinscotland · 13/10/2005 16:35

More like, they just pulled the 'm' of 'minger' and substituted a 'j'.

flamebat · 13/10/2005 16:36

They're neither of em completely blessed with looks... and the kids all look just like one or the other, no merging to form beauty.

expatinscotland · 13/10/2005 16:38

He's no better. When he joined an ugly contest, they said, 'Sorry, no professionals.'

SoupDragon · 13/10/2005 16:38

They have a Joy-Anna and a Johannah?

Say what you like but, apart from the hair, doesn't she look well ???

expatinscotland · 13/10/2005 16:40

Um, no, she looks like the kooky religious fanatic that's a dime a dozen in the US - and although the more reason for Commie, pinko, liberals like me to stay out .

flamebat · 13/10/2005 16:40

You'd look well by child 16 - they just fall out when you stand up when you reach that number.

Mum2girls · 13/10/2005 16:40

They need to get a telly.

expatinscotland · 13/10/2005 16:40

And watch an episode of 'The Operation' that features a vasectomy.

Considering he's one of those teetotal, evangelical Christian fanatics, I somehow doubt it, kama.

scotlou · 13/10/2005 16:48

I've seen the documentary on them and they all seemed exceedingly happy in a well run, organised home. Yes, they are very religious - but if they want a large family - and everyone is happy - what is the problem? When I saw the program I just wished I could do such a good job looking after my 2 kids as they did looking after (at that time) 14 !

expatinscotland · 13/10/2005 16:48

Sorry, I spent WAY too long in that part of America.

lua · 13/10/2005 16:50

Well, to be honest I do think that if all of us decide to have babies as many babies as them the world would be a bit overcrowded....

But I still am in awe that they manage to have more babies. As you, I can barely function with two!
