Eighteen is the new three

Posted May 9, 2008 at 12:17 pm by Tracy

I’m sure everyone knows about the Duggars; the family with seventeen kids? They had a show on Discovery [I believe]? Anyway, momma Duggar is pregnant again with her eighteenth kid. WHAT THE HELL? Is all I can think…And according to the article I read they will keep having kids as long as god lets them. My first thought was “whoa how do you have sex with seventeen kids around?” The youngest is nine months.

Now, I’ve got a problem with this. I’m sure I’ll get crapped on by the religious folk but I personally feel it’s not God’s Will for this woman to have a slew of children it’s her lack of birth control and some awesome eggs n’ sperm. God also gave us brains so we can control our cycles for those who think birth control is evil. I personally think popping out kids like it ain’t no thing especially with the state of our country is sort of demented. I think having eighteen kids is just as bad as someone who can’t afford to have more kids, having them one after another. Without the Discovery channel show, and donations would they be able to live in a 7,0000 square foot home? I don’t think so. And why should we have to donate, and pay for someone that doesn’t believe in birth control?

Do the children get all the attention they deserve? All the nurturing? It’s physically impossible for a mother to tend to seventeen children…do the older kids end up with the grunt of the child care, and house work? Is the mother REALLY happy that she’s been pregnant for 135 months in her life? Does she really think that god put her on this planet to give birth over, and over, and over again? Is that all woman are to do? Have sex, give birth, and mother children?

What are your thoughts?
