I'm in on you with this bet!

And sorry, Mrs.Duggar... it's a vagina... not a clown car.

I guess Jamima is like the oldest brother on Happy Days... out there but mostly forgotten.
You can stop being ticked off- there is no Jemima Duggar. Never was. You have the Duggars mixed up with one of the other large families that TLC has showcased.

I mean, yes...a child is a blessing from God. But a MOTHER is a blessing, too. It would be sad to see them continue until Michelle dies from a ruptured uterus or something like that.

From the cooking to the laundry to the feeding, bathing, and clothing of the babies that get handed off to them at age six months via the "buddy system" they have going on, the older girls seem to serve the role of built-in au pairs.

I do hope that Michelle and Jim-Bob come to the realization that everything has a beginning and an end and as much as they enjoy creating and having babies, this too needs to come to an end as she might not make it this long if she becomes pregnant again.

I do not believe that is correct. There was a family on Kids by the Dozen who had an older estranged child, but I am 99.999999% positive the Duggers don't have another.

You know, you don't have to agree with their lifestyle but their is something twisted in a comparing them to people stockpiling garbage,

I'm sure her emergency csection has something to do with her hospitalization for her gall bladder.

A mental illness... is a mental illness... wether it's manifested in someone hoarding material items or feeling the need to constantly have babies. Neither one is healthy.
