The Duggar Family Is Adding An 18th Child - GoFuckYourself.com

damn....my family isn't so big afterall ;-)

Actually, I really enjoyed watching the show they did for Discovery, but couldn't imagine raising that clan...

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.

Anyone remember that movie Idiocracy?

I saw their first Discovery special, it was insane. Every time they go on a trip they have 2 vans, one to drive in & one to haul all of their clothes & food

I haven't seen the t.v. show, so maybe I am completely off base...

Saw them on GMA today. Guess contraceptives are not taught in that house.

A caption for one of the pictures on their site:

Michelle admiring Jim Bob for being the spiritual leader of their home.

Why do people like these have to be the ones that reproduce the most?

I think I've seen that show, or one about a similarly large family... the obvious question was answered within the first couple of minutes: they don't believe in contraception.

I'm over these people. It was fascinating the first couple of shows I watched, but now it's just stupid. I find it hard to believe that they're doing this out of love or want for more children. It's almost like it's a business for them, now.

And the part I really don't like is that it seems like the kids are doing all the work. I feel sorry for the older ones, especially. You can tell they're obviously raising all the little ones. All the cooking, cleaning, laundry, yard work... everything. If the mom wants to spit out that many babies, she should have to take care of them all, not dump them on the siblings.

Check out the last of the "fun facts", that is amazing --

*

Michelle’s been pregnant for 135 months of her life.

*

Average number of months between Duggar births is 18.

*

Estimated number of Duggar diapers to date is 90,000.

*

The Duggars do approximately 200 loads of laundry each month.

*

The Duggars feed their entire brood for less than $2,000 per month.

*

The only person in the Duggar family whose name doesn’t start with "J" is Mom — Michelle.

*

Every Duggar child learns to play both violin and piano.

*

The family organizes their household chores by assigning "jurisdictions," so everyone knows exactly what their daily responsibilities are.

*

The Duggars estimate all the family members combined have worked approximately 39,000 total hours building their new house.

*

The Duggars are debt free.
