Gee it has been a while! Things here are busy, busy, busy! I'm sure most of you would say the same! Football is going great! Both the teams won Saturday! They play again this Saturday and we have the Homecoming! Fun, Fun, Fun!
I just wanted to ask everyone what they thought about the Duggar Family. I hear so many opinions that I was interested what my friends and family thought.
My opinion- I think that they are natural. I watch the show and see what they put on T.V. Now they are expecting their 19th child! Good for them. If that's what they choose then great!
I hear so many people complaining about bringing that many kids into an already over populated world. Those kids are well taken care of and loved. How many neglected and abused children are there? I don't see anyone trying to make all those parents get "fixed".
Then I hear people complaining about the "buddy" system that the Duggars have. They say it is making the older kids raise the younger ones. I couldn't even count the number of times I ask my boys to help one of the smaller cousins. Isn't that the same thing?
I could go on and on! Yes they are on T.V. Some people are saying that they are just having more kids for the show. They already had like 16 before the show began! Why wouldn't they have more?
I just hate all the negative stuff people are saying. Wasn't this the way things used to be? You didn't plan on how many kids, they just happened. Or as Michelle says "They are gifts from God."
What do you think?

I had no idea what you were talking about until I clicked your link. Thanks! Large families make very special people.
This might be a bit off topic, but I've lost three good neighbors recently who sold their homes to buy much bigger houses. Not for the growing kids, but for the parents and grandparents to either move in or visit. :)
I don't feel either way about it, positive, or negative, I find it bizarre that people are so amazed at that amount of children, yeah its alot.. but I've known many of Amish families that have just as many... so my opinion.. whats the big deal either way? I don't get why people feel so strongly for or against the Duggars.
I really think they are good people. That many kids raised in a good Christian home, whats so wrong with that. Families are all about helping one another out to, when did it become the norm to not do that? I think they are great and agree with you.
Kellen is teaching Nolan to read. boy, that Stephanie sure isn't amounting to much in the teacher category any more, you know with her have 4 children to take care of. I wonder how she gets anything done around here at all. I do have to get on her about the laundry some. With this many kids around the house, she is too busy doing their laundry instead of mine. what a bunch of hillbillies.
I don't see what the big deal is either. You wanna pop out 19 kids, go for it. And it's not like their kids are like the ones on Nanny 911. This family is freakishly nice and well mannered. Chris forgot to mention in his comment that he loves their show and secretly wishes he WAS Jim Bob.
