I don't watch ...I had never heard of this family... I don't watch tv and kinda live in a bubble, but I went over to their website and it's pretty interesting. <BR/><BR/>Here in Utah people have a lot of kids. It's really common to have 4-6 kids and I know or have known families with 10 or more. I say as long as they can afford them all and aren't living off the government, then it's up to them. <BR/><BR/>I myself think it's crazy, but everyone has different limits.American Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18118562297826392361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452455988583981621.post-22235533385529242752009-02-07T16:12:00.000-06:002009-02-07T16:12:00.000-06:00Is his name really Jim Bob?

When I wrote my post on "J&K+8 vs. The Duggars" I was only addressing the fact that I'd rather my kids watch the more peaceful amd respectful Duggar Family than the smart mouthed and chaotic Gosselins. I didn't have the energy to post on each set of issues these individual families have.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I can't even go there. It's too time consuming. But I will say this about the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle were on birth control pills when they first got married. This info is on their website.<BR/><BR/>They learned that the pill can cause an abortion, if you do get preg. while on it. They decided that this fact goes against their beliefs. I think that's fine and dandy. I understand and respect that view. However, there are other forms of birth control.<BR/><BR/>Jim Bob needs to be snipped or Michelle can get her tubes tied. No more babies and no more fear of a contraceptive causing an abortion. This "quiverfull" belief is a bit extreme and I do believe there are a whole slew of issues with this concept.<BR/><BR/>Mother Hood Out.Mother Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435015430514684016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452455988583981621.post-10915172979956940822009-02-06T11:39:00.000-06:002009-02-06T11:39:00.000-06:00I know!!!

There is no way those children are getting quality time with their parents.<BR/><BR/>I will have to check out that last link. It sounds funny!

The woman has some screws loose. <BR/><BR/>At one point, the interviewer asked her something like "What's your response to people who say 16 (that was the tally at that point) is too many children?" and her response was "Saying there’s too many children would be like saying there’s too many flowers."<BR/><BR/>Wow. I'm an only child, but my dad is one of 8 and when there are that many kids you are definitely pushed into adulthood way earlier. He didn't get much help (he paid his Catholic high school tuition himself). Sure, there are benefits to learning independence at an early age, but I don't see how you can paint this pretty "flower" picture when kids end up becoming, essentially, "parents" to their younger siblings.chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597283400851387772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452455988583981621.post-36183802429476559972009-02-06T00:03:00.000-06:002009-02-06T00:03:00.000-06:00I tend to consider myself "up" on whats out there,...I tend to consider myself "up" on whats out there, but I have completely missed this one and let me just say I am GLAD. I know a family with 6 kids and they want more and the theory is (and I quote) "once your in it, your in it right?" - I have to admit, I am a little to selfish to have anymore than my two lovely girls, I knew shortly after my second that there was not enough of me to go around (fairly) so no more me. Self limitation right?<BR/><BR/>Very fun to read though! THANKS.<BR/><BR/>PS (Shelly is back from her trip over at Simply Persnickety and on a mission to help us all again!!)Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112479764398508654noreply@blogger.com
