The more people like the Duggars there are in this world the better the world would be is a most extreme understatement!!!

Why can't we allow children to BE children. Why do so many adults feel the need to make children grow up too fast?

Also, the impartation of values is the responsibility of the parents and not all children keep the values that they were taught growing up.
So you would rather not tell them that drugs are bad? How are they gonna know what to do when offered drugs are there friend wants them to help rob a store? This is a harsh wolrd we live in where bad things happen everywhere.

I was about to say the same. Obviously people know nothing about this family.

Yes, I think this is between sick and a joke, but uneducated they certainly are not.

the parents or the kids or both? What do you base your statement on? Just curious. I don't know anything for certain about their education, but it appears that mom home schools through HS and that's it.

At this point, it is hardly news anymore. They obviously aren't going to quit until she's menopausal. What's the difference between 18 and 19?
Yes, he was a state rep and they have enough money to buy and sell many of us. Their education or lack of same has nothing to do with the number of kids they have. This is something they believe god is giving them.

As I said, I think it is sick, but has nothing to do with their intelligence or lack of a college degree. The person who made the stupid comment about their lack of education knows nothing about the family.

They are one family, I agree and said this before, what they are thinking is beyond me, but I think the post you are referring to wasn't meant to say we should all have zillions of kids, but we could all benefit from this families moral views. Again, I don't understand why and I don't think parents can give kids what they need emotionally when there are too many, I do think they are a good family.
