Arkansas mom pregnant with 18th child

When it comes to deserving moms for Mother’s Day, how do you beat Michelle Duggar? The seemingly perpetually pregnant mom in Arkansas is due to give birth to her 18th child next New Year’s Day.

Duggar has been been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.

All the kids’ names start with J and range from Josh, who is 20, to Jennifer, who is 9 months old.

Meet the family at their Web site or on Discovery Health’s Web site.

You folks think we should tell her what’s getting her that way?

This woman sickens me. She and her husband need to be neutered immediately. How in the name of God are they going to support all those kids? Do they expect us to? This is just digusting.

I think its wonderful that this women has had so many children. God has blessed her so much and if she was not to have anymore children then it is up to God, not to you cold heartless people who are so greedy that all you think about it money and more money. If she is on welfare or any government assistance that is what it is supposed to be used for! Remember people you can’t take the money with you when you die.

If you would like to take a minute and research the Duggars, they live on a cash payment basis, no credit cards ,loans, etc. and home school their children. I myself can’t imagine having that many children, but they have raised all of their children to be polite, talented, extremely intelligent and christian children. If that’s the kind of parents they are, we need more of them around. Just because they’re different doesn’t mean they’re wrong. I wish I had 1/2 the patience that the Duggars due when dealing with people and their family.

I just think it’s cool that there’s still women around who are that frisky.

I agree with douresearch. The Duggars are an amazing family. Their children are allowed to be their own unique, individual selves, but they also know how to contribute to the success of the family as a team. The children learn to cook, clean, care for their siblings, make things by hand, repair what needs repairing, and still have time to pursue their own hobbies and interests.

I wish families like the Duggars would populate the entire world with their children — what a fantastic legacy! Their children will grow up to be self-sufficient and responsible decision-makers — the very types of people who WON’T be a burden on taxpayers.
