When Duggar baby #19 was born, I knew someone would ask if they were done. So I wasn’t surprised to see a People Magazine with the crass question, “How many kids are too many?”
People followed the Duggars to the NICU, asking and answering many questions. A cool thing about the Duggars is that they are debt-free and self sufficient, so a lot of arguments about who is going to pay for all these babies are already answered.
I wonder why they choose to live their lives in the public eye, exposing themselves to so much criticism. Being out there on that lonely limb, they are bound to hear the question, “are you done, yet?” magnified 1,000%.
But Michelle wisely says she’s the only one who can live her life.
They are the ones who must raise their family, and then answer to God for their decisions. I applaud them for not backing down from their beliefs because someone else thinks they should. It is between them and God what happens next.
What do you think?

I agree with that. We now have 8 children and we get the same question. But as you said, it is between us and God. We too have the means to support our own family. God has blessed our business so we are now ignoring the ignorant question. “When are you going to stop” My husband jokingly says, we may just go for 100 if that’s alright with you.
Some have actually said that it’s disgusting to have that many babies. I think that comment is disgusting. Baby Grace doesn’t look disgusting to me. It amazes me how those who have unruly children are bothered by a well rounded family that takes care of it’s own. This shows you how things are turning around in this country. LGBT families are smiled upon while Mom & Dad and babies are becoming the abnormal. How sick is that. This is the way the devil wants it and we are sitting idly by watching it happen. Help us Lord.

I dont agree. Money from the Television has provided them a debt free lifestyle and though it is not my business how they parent, and I only saw them once or twice (right before they moved into the house) their “buddy system” gives me the creeps. it is like they are forcing their older kids to co-parent. It is nice for them…how else can they keep up but a real downer for the kids…

A, the Duggars were debt-free before the TV show. In fact, I think they were debt-free before they had any children. They are in real estate. As for the buddy system, it is no substitution for actual parenting. It is the same as chores; it trains the children, and makes them contributing members of the household. I heard an interview with Josh, the oldest Duggar when he became a father. He said that he knew a little about babies from growing up, but it was totally different from actually being responsible for a family.

@ A. I know them personally. They were debt free LONNNNGGGG before TLC came a knockin. Their system does not work for me and my crew but with Michelle and Jim Bob what you see is what you get. They are the same people before the camera and long after the cameras leave.
