VIDEO: Duggars Expecting Again, Make That 19 Kids And Counting
Posted on Sep 01, 2009 @ 11:31AM
Compared to the Duggars, the Gosselin and Suleman households seem small: The Arkansas reality TV family, headed by dad Jim Bob and mom Michelle, told The Today Show’s Meredith Vieira on Tuesday they are expecting their 19th child.
The conservative Christian family follows Quiverfull, a movement that places added weight on the bible's demands to be fruitful and multiply.
In an interesting twist, the couple's eldest child, Josh is about to become a daddy himself, as him and his wife Anna are expecting the family's first grandchild, a girl named Mackenzie, next month.
“My sister and my mother were having babies at the same time, so I have nieces and nephews older than me,” 42-year-old mom Michelle, who came from a large family herself, said. “It was a great time because we really have close relationships with my nieces and nephews.”
18 Kids and Counting airs on TLC, check local listing for times.

I love the Duggars and think they are great parents, it is crazy all the negative comments on here. I am praying for baby Josie and if they want more children and have the means to care for them, I know they have enough love to give then so be it.

the duggers are very selfish parents they only are interested in quanity not quality of life I think with 19 even God is trying to tell them enough ... .

Duggar parents make the baby the elder girls raise'em. How long would it be before Josie is pushed off on a "buddy" to make room for no#21?

This is sad! This is not healthy! Those poor girls in that family are ASSIGNED a young child to raise them, and that doesn't even include how they have to do ALL the chores for that family!!! I guess the boys are just taught to procreate!

Don't start on this family you bunch of freaking loser's!

its NOT only bad for Michele, but now another Duggar woman is having a baby. Anna, the oldest boys wife, is so timid and insecure, she hangs on this boy., she cannot answer for herself on any level. this is cult living to the MAX!!

Personally, I think the husband should consider what this could do to a woman her age and out of LOVE leave her alone. Mindless breeding or responsible parenting?
