This story is so incredible I cannot even believe it. The Duggar family added to their brood of 17 children with a new baby girl this week. This new baby joins 10 brothers and 7 sisters. The mom, Michelle, is just 42 years old and literally has given birth every 18 months, which also equals 135 months of being pregnant during her 24 year marriage. All of the children have names that begin with the letter J and the new baby is no different, her name is Jordyn Grace. The family actually has their own show on TLC and it is pretty interesting to watch this family function. Amazingly the kids are very well behaved and well mannered and all do their share to help the household run smoothly. The family lives in Arkansas and for religious reasons decided to forgo birth control. Can you say fertile Myrtle??? It seems like all Mrs. Duggar need to do is think about getting pregnant and voila la another baby on the way. And get this, they may not be done. If it was to happen again, and I suspect that it might….the family would be thrilled to welcome more children into their home. Currently the ages of the children are 20, 18, 18, 17,16, 14,13, 12,11,9,9,8,7,6,4,3,1, and a few days old. All I can say is WOW!!! That is pretty amazing, no matter what your personal feeling are about this family

Now here are some household facts which are pretty mind blowing. To date this family has gone through approximately, 90,000 diapers and counting. Hopefully they have stock in Pampers. The do approximately 200 loads of laundry a month…urgh! Each child learns to play the piano AND the violin. The Duggar’s can feed their family on less then $2000 per month, and are you ready for this, they are debt free. Hmmmm…what is their secret? Congratulations Duggar family on your new bundle of joy!

This family is so whack. They won't even let there kid's see movie's and watch religious movies instead. Are you kidding me. Give these kid's a life. There going to grow up in a messed up isolated bible life. The government should throw these people in jail for being so whack. Watching this show and seeing these people make's me sick to my stomach.

I can't understand how some people are obsessed in making babies. These people need to wake up. Hello, the world doesn't need more polluter! We are creating huge amounts of individuals each day more than people leaving Earth. Someday our planet is going to be so populated there will only be a handful of resources that could sustain us. We are going to rot like bactera in a petri dish! Our uncontrolled growing colony will kill us. Two biological children is enough, adopt the rest for Christ's sake! There are many orphaned children who needs proper food, shelter and love out there.

With the knowledge that there are so many children in the world that are missing out on having loving parents and a stable environment, I cant understand why anyone would be so selfish that they would have more then 2 children of their own. I can understand the need to have your own child but after 2 children isnt it a true show of love to our creator and our neighbors to take in the 'unwanted' children of the world? The Duggar family could be providing a loving environment for 17 (they have 18 and another is on the way) adoptable children as well as having 2 of their own if they had thought of others and not themselves. These children that are already here in the world deserve to have a loving and stable environment as much as any other child. My question to the Duggars would be: Why do you continue to bring more children into the world when there are already more then enough here that could use what you can provide?

I think it is absolutely disgusting what this family is doing. You cannot properly care for 19 children...apparently they are just having their older children do their work for them. All the trash they are creating in an already polluted and overpopulated world is repulsive. It is so wrong in this country that we need a license to fish and drive but not to have children. Hopefully this woman will go through early menopause and will be unable to bring anymore children into this world.

I absolutely love the Duggars' show. What a wonderful family. It is so resfreshing to see a real family who love one another, treat each other with such caring love, and are not embarrassed to give respect and prayer to the Lord. The parents are so respective and loving to each other, and the children are learning from this. What a fresh breath of entertainment, considering the cold controlling narcississtic Kate from Jon and Kate + 8.

Might I just say, that the wayward cousin has to go. My belief is that she must have something hanging over the Duggar's heads, because there is no reason whatsoever for her to be on this show, other than for her to gain her own sense of fame. And for her to interrupt Josh and Anna's wedding cake moment by sneaking up and smashing cake in his face....if he wasn't so religious I am sure he would've thrown a few cuss words at her as well as the finger. That was completely inappropriate. I felt very sorry for the Duggar's at that moment. I won't be watching anymore.
