I’ve been married for 17 years and I’ve never used birth control. I have three kids now. My husband would sometimes use a condom but I hated it and always told him to take it off. I have three kids, but I’m one on those people who wanted to have 11. Eleven because I always wanted a big family, ever since I was a teenager and I grew up playing soccer and there are 11 players on each side. I thought with 11, they would always have someone to play, talk to and there would be a lot of extended family after I die. I believe the whole point of God creating humans is for us to populate and teach our kids and others about God.

Anyway, we ended up with only three children because of porn. My husband always chose the porn CD’s, videos, internet, cell phones over having actual sex. I believe if chose the latter, we would have had 11 instead of three. I was a wall street female worker, working overtime until 11:00
midnight. Once I had my first child my whole perspective on life changed. I believe to really raise your kids, you have to raise your kids. Not the baby sitter, after-school day care, grandma or any other alternative. Yes, people may help you, but the load should fall on either the mother or father. Especially I was one of those people who had very short labor and labor pains that weren’t unbearable. so I think I would have been the right candidate to have 11 children. That lady on the t.v. show I hope she had those children because she wanted to and not because of her husband or the church. Because at the end of her life on her death bed she should be grateful for having those kids

You really need JESUS!!! Birth control is wrong! If you have faith in the one and only father YAHWEH, then that means that He is the one that has the control, not you. Anyways, if people want to have 40 children, and they can obviously feed, clothe, and protect them, then it is none of your business. The Duggars have JESUS, they are living the true Christian lifestyle, unlike everyone else who want to act like they have control of what is not theirs in the first place. If indeed you are a Christian, then that means that JESUS is the HEAD of your life. If HE wants you to have children, it is his will, not yours. Don’t let Satan fool you. Birth control is the same as an abortion. Have faith in God. All Praises, Honor, Glory, and Blessing to the most High YAHWEH YAHSHUA!!!!!

It is ridiculous to keep pumping out babies like animals having a litter. Those children are the victims of two narcissistic people who have ulterior motives. I am sick of Michelle gushing about her tired uterus and the father should keep his pants on or use birth control. The worse was when she had all of her children staring at her genitals while she was pushing one out. Yet she displays false modesty by wearing Omar the tentmakers clothes and making her girls dress like clones of her. This whole show is disgusting and people should stop watching the madness.

good god… use a condom or the rhythm method folks… or — better yet — just keep your clothes on. Is the father a meth or coke dealer to afford 19 kids… I have 2 teenaged sons and can barely keep them fed and clothed as it is. To have this many kids is actually what I would classify as “narcissistic” — it's all about them and reproducing themselves (because, they must assume, they are so damned awesome). .. and a TV network rewards them a show! GAG! and gimme a break.

I think Michelle got that from Mother Teresa speaking against abortion (and possibly birth control): “How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers.”

I think that our society is pretty hypocritical when it comes to certain issues. If you look at the Duggar family, whether or not you like it, what they are doing seems to work. They are debt-free, built their huge home with their own hands, home-school their children (who appear happy, I might add), they eat well (not on our government), have several lucrative businesses, live by Christian values, and exhibit love (at least in front of the camera).
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. We promote abortions. We have sex glorified on the television. Our women dress provocatively on videos and dance very sensually, causes our young girls to model after them. Swinging from poles is popular now. There is an HPV vaccine to prevent the disease, when abstinence is the cure. There are drugs prevelant in our schools. Lots of teenagers over-consume alcohol, and it isn’t even legal for them. Teenagers and young adults die in car accidents under the influence. Profane language is okay on the television, but you can’t say ‘Jesus.’ The list goes on.
So when did we gain the right to judge the lifestyle of the Duggar family. I think we have missed the mark as a society. I think we are crazy for allowing reduced values to be the standard and they are on a steady decline. And while it is awesome for a family to plan out how many children they would like and can afford, it is not wrong when a family decides to trust God. If you have no faith in Him, what do you have? If you are not a believer, would you understand the spiritual things?
I say, leave the Duggars alone and let us start working on our own families!

My pastor has taught if you have one child, you have multiplied so it all will depend on what your perspective is. They are adults and all the medical “experts” can do is give them facts or best guesses, because every woman is different, but it is still their decision. In the future (age 60 or so) Michelle will probably have to have her pelvic muscles tightened so as not to loose continence because unlike the Gosselings and Octo, she is having her kids vaginally and pretty much one at a time which loosens the pelvic floor. While the multiple birth mothers are laid up in the hospital for the last 60-90 days trying to get the kids born and the cover of a tabloid magazine to pay their hospital bills, Michelle is waddling around the house with her family of helpers.
If other women are inspired by them, that is something that they and their husbands need to prayerfully discuss, and I’m sure the Duggars tell them to prepare financially since they did. Men use to not marry til they showed they could provide for a family, and while I’d wouldn’t say not marry or have kids cause you ” can’t afford to” yet, if you keep thinking that way, you never will. Then there is nothing wrong with being poor, but having 20 kids and running to the welfare office with a an able bodied husband at home (or one who disappears because he didn’t realize what he was getting into) is not the wise, nor godly thing to do.
But there really is no room to criticize the Duggars specifically, as points have been made they are debt free, and give to others. The children are well mannered, clean, healthy, educated, talented. Some people got 1-2 kids/adult off spring running the streets being absolute hellions cause they are too busy to raise those 1-2 right. Sometimes their trips are scripted cause people want to have them out for promotions and to promote their christian lifestyle. But if TLC found someone more interesting to deal with or the duggars said hey, we don’t like the way TLC is handling the Gosseling issue and we’ll finish this contract but we’re parting ways, they would not be hurt by it.
