Wow, she beat my own Grandmother, who had 16 children. But she also raised 8 step-children. Farming family, you know. I wouldn't have it any other way either. Having such a huge family made growing up twice as much fun.

I agree - by all accounts, this is a very happy family

Perhaps some are jealous of their happiness???

Hardly!
I will be a lot happier by NOT having any kids.
My concern is the strain on the earth that this family is causing.
Do you KNOW the family? Do you know if EVERY single day is filled with happiness? Give me a break!

I don't personally know the family, so I can't make any claims. And neither can you, unless you personally know them.

Why does this bother you so much? You may be happier not having any kids, that's fine for you. But it is not for you to dictate your own feelings on another family. Some people absolutely love kids and get a lot of joy from being around them.

I wonder what kind of job Mr. Duggar has to support a family of 20?
