The official Duggar family discussion thread!

[MrsPinecone]

Some of you may remember the '16 kids' thread from DAGG. Well, a topic of discussion on my baby boards is that their 17th is due on 7/28.

All I can say is.... wow.

[sbp]

OMG - I thought 16 kids was waaaayyy more than I could handle. lol

[MrsPinecone]

They probably just fall out by now.

[JANE4girls]

why in the world would you want to have that many kids?

think of birthdays and Christmas or Hanukkah or any of those, holy cow!

more power to them!

I love the Duggars!! I have watched all of the documentries on them..kind of like a train wreck...can't help but watch. They are such an organized little family and really have it all together more than some families of three.

Can you imagine the trauma to her body? Do your organs ever go back to the right spot?:shrug7:

I've followed their story for awhile now. They remind me somewhat of my family -I'm the oldest of 7, and my mom homeschools. Very interesting!

I remember them from the shows about them...loved their house. Didn't know they were up to 17. I wonder when they'll decide to stop (not being facetious, just curious).

I beleive they are what you call a "Quiver-full" family

Quiverfull From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Quiverfull is a movement among conservative evangelical Protestant Christian couples chiefly in the United States, but with some adherents in Canada,[1] and with claims of adherent also in Australia, New Zealand, England, and elsewhere.[2] Its distinguishing viewpoint is to eagerly receive children as blessings from God,[2][3][4][5] eschewing all forms of contraception, including natural family planning and sterilization.[6][7] Someone of this persuasion might call themselves a "quiver full", "full quiver", "quiverfull-minded", or simply "QF" Christian. Roman Catholics and some others might refer to the Quiverfull position as Providentialism,[8] while the popular press has recently referred to the movement as a manifestation of natalism.[9][10] The movement and its corpus of literature have grown steadily since its inception. Its adherents most likely number in the "thousands to low tens of thousands".[6] It began to receive significant attention in the U.S. national press in 2004.

HTH

I, for one, am 110% behind the "Quiver-full" movement.

We don't have a tv though so I don't know who the Duggers are. Some documentary on a family, I guess.

And as for the person who said "Why would someone want to have that many kids?" .... (me:) :mad5:
