slowly taking over the world...
If I was married to this man, I'd kindly ask him to take his sperm of magic and get off of me. Good lord. Cripes, if I was one of the 16 previous kids in this family, I'd kick out a Brady Bunch style family conference and sit the folks down for a friendly chat. "Yeah, Pops? Moms? That noise we keep hearing in your room every nine months? Enough! It's gross."
While I have enjoyed being pregnant, being pregnant the equivalent of 10 years of my life would not be cool. Seriously. At some point, I'd want to rock the "I'm not a mom" jeans again. Or a stylish jumper set.

Ha! I love the label! I'll bet her uterus is hanging outside her body at this juncture--he, oh nevermind. :P

Um....yeah. I think it is most definately time to get the snip snip done.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children.... Her uterus fell out!
Honestly, these people baffle and befuddle me. Every time they show up in a new Discovery Channel special, I'm transfixed by them. And yet I want to shake them and scream at them. "Knock it off!! Shut down that baby factory already!! You people are crazy!!"
I'm laughing. so. hard. Because I think the same thing. I'd have a perpetual headache or something. "Not tonight, horn dog."
Gotta agree with Savage and Dice, at some point, won't the uterus just say enough is enough??
More cynically, if this were a poor family of color, they wouldn't be anywhere near celebrity status on TV. Geez.
When I read this this morning the first thing I thought was "crap! her uterus is going to FALL OUT!" and then I read that she want's more and I thought "I hope to God her uterus falls out!" and then I felt really sorry for her kids that she has now, because I saw them on tv once, and they're nothing but babysitters for the rest of the brood....
WHY would anyone have that many kids on purpose in this day and age? I don't get it.

Could you imagine 18 people living under one roof? Scary.
I would hate to think how early you would have to get up to acquire a warm shower in that household.
Alike bass fishing, there should be a limit.
when i read this and read they were all homeschooled and he was a state representative i thought "only arkansas". i can say that -i lived there once upon a time.
i would so sleep in another room. can you imagine their food bill or their electricity or the cost of clothing? gah. gives me a headache just thinking about it.
The Duggars rock. I see them mentioned on a bunch of blogs, and they always get criticized in the comments, which baffles me, honestly. Like somehow they are a burden on society for having a bunch of children or something. I don't get why we just assume it's a bad thing to have a bunch of kids. She seems like a perfectly happy mother... I seriously doubt that she secretly hates being pregnant or anything!
Nan - H...oh, that's about all of that I can muster up...
CH - I think that procedure will never be the reason why they visit a doctor.
Savage - At this point, I think it's made of military grade steel.
Kelly - Clearly, I'm fascinated by them, too. I watch every show. My mouth usually agap. But I'm a sucker for whatever they're doing.
Rug's - Honestly, I don't know how they have time to get to the procreating. Something to be said for the rigid scheduling that goes on in their home, I suppose.
FH - Valid points, I believe.
Stacie - I suppose the other kids are simply used to it. Every family member has their role kinda thing and all. My thought is (though I know the media projects this simply by asking this as the first quesion to them ) - please, why not enjoy and celebrate the latest baby before even considering another?
Chag - Some days, four living under my roof has me considering the perks of bunking under a bridge. It's a pity I'm just too attached to cable television.
Nocturnal - This set up would no doubt drive those with reclusive natures insane. But I would get up as early possible to get the hottest shower.
Kimmyk - I've read that their food bill is $2,000 a month, which for that many people, I suppose,is reasonable. THough I bet they don't enjoy teh delights of a McDonald's Happy Meal very often. Which, in retrospect, good for them.
FTN - She's very clearly a very happy mother. She's probably one of the happiest mothers walking the planet today. For that, then God bless her. They clearly have the capacity and fortitude to have such a large family. And I clearly buy into them, watching every special, reading whatever article I come across. I think people rip into them purely because in this day when two is the average norm, anything beyond that attracts a curiosity and a "well, better you than me!" mentality. They're young enough they could continue this route for some time to come, and their family adjusts. I should be so routined.
Well, you know, Molly and I have only the utmost appreciation for any couple who will give us the opportunity to say, "Only eight!"
