Just 5 short of 2 Dozen Kids....

As the show begins, we hear the Mom, Michelle Duggar, begin the introductions of her kids, all 19, ''and YES, she delivered each one'' It's amazing to know that this woman has given birth to 19 kids, and also had some sad miscarriages along the way. But one must ask; Why? Why does she do this? Does she thinks it's her and her ''Wonderful'' husband, Jim-Bob's responsibility to single-handedly repopulate the earth? Does she think God put her on this earth to be a breeder? Her body is definitely trying to tell her that her childbearing years may be over. Can't they just be happy with the kids they've got? Apparently not, they still want more kids...
The couple had discussed the possibility of having more children, with Michelle Duggar saying:
''We would love more! I'm 43, almost 44 this September. I know that my mommy years are probably numbered, and I don't know how many more children God will see fit to give me. ... it is something we've been praying about because we do love children. Each child really is a gift and that doesn't mean just our children. We asked the Lord to give us a love of children the way He loves children. That is something that we've prayed about, and we'll just see what the Lord has in store for our family in the future.''

Another thing that bugs me about this family, is the fact that the Mother, Michelle, saying the word ''TRAINING'' repeatedly. Most parents wouldn't say that, most would say ''TEACHING''... You train animals, not kids. 

I'm in awe that the girls never wear anything but skirts...huh? The boys can't wear shorts. None of them dance. When they meet a possible life mate, they ''side hug'', or from watching a recent episode, when the girls hug Daddy Jim-Bob, they also ''side hug''. The ''Side hug'' is a way to show greeting, or meeting, but it's also so they won't get too personal. Also no kissing, hand-holding, and always have a chaperone when out on a date... It may seem to you that I hate this family. But, surprisingly, I like them. I may not agree with a lot of their methods. But I admire their relationship with the Lord. 

I want to Congratulate Jill Duggar-Dillard on her recent Marriage to Derick Dillard. Also, the newlyweds are expecting their first child in March, 2015.
