» On the Road with 16 Children (And Other Duggar Family Programs) Options

[Strega]

Please remember that this topic is for discussing the Duggars. It is not about

• other TV shows.
• homeschooling in general.
• religion in general. Please watch the generalizations about what "Fundies" do or believe; when you make sweeping generalizations like that, someone else may want to disagree or clarify, and that's taking the conversation away from the show.
• how funny another poster is. If you're only posting to compliment someone, take it to PM or email.
• your own life, your family members, your friends, people you work with, your church, your school, your neighbors, etc.

You can of course mention these things if they are part of a larger comment about the show. But they should not be the main subject of your post. Ridiculous example: "Michelle said they do the hokey-pokey every morning for religious reasons; my entire family is Baptist and I've never heard of that before." That would be fine, but you should not go on to discuss what you did do in your church, and the reasons you did that, and what you thought about it. Unless you're on the show, the topic here isn't your life.

When you're writing a post, please reread what you've written and ask yourself if you're really talking about the TV show before you click "Add Reply." Thank you.

Of course she's already thinking about another pregnancy. She hasn't taken care of her infants in the past. Why bother now?

Dang it, I now share a birthday with a Dugger. Well, good luck Jennifer. I hope your buddy takes good care of you. This is my first birthday as a parent and I'm enjoying it immensely.

For goodness sakes, children need time and attention as individuals!

Okay everyone (including J'Michelle), let's say it together, "IN-DIV-ID-U-ALS".

[tseliot]

Happy Birthday anyway, meligator! Maybe 20 years from now, Jennifer will escape from the compound and you and she can celebrate your birthdays together, basking on the beach of some distant island, sipping mojitos while snarking on her family!

Happy Birthday Jennifer! Enjoy while you can, you have only 603 days of being the baby in this family so soak it up while you can.

All snarking aside, I hope the baby and mother are doing well.

I just found out that my middle child is not only the same age as one of the Duggars, they have the same name. <sigh> At least they don't have the same birthdate!


Why the Duggars have so many kids....

here is a link for those newbies out there that want to know why this family is so huge...

Does that mean you'll be having a celibate anniversary? <g>

I didn't think of that. I was thinking of the bottle of wine I'm planning on downing.

Oh well, I guess Jennifer shares a birthday with my anniversary.

I can't believe that right after the birth she's saying she would love to have another!!

Well, it's early August now, I bet she's planning to get knocked up quickly so she can finally have that June baby.

Well its about time that Jennifer came!!! I'm sensing that child being a rebel! I'm not surprised they are already talking about more since saying they want more will give them more airtime and then more t.v. specials (i.e. free stuff).

A half an hour after the birth and they are giving interviews. Glad to see that they took the time to bond with the new baby. These people are disturbing. For all their preaching about being good Christians, I've never seen two people more concerned with their own self serving media image. Hell, even Britney managed to wait awhile before she started giving interviews.

And somewhere, a few pages back, someone said that the local school district must love them since they pay property taxes and don't send the kids to school. Wasn't it already determined that since they've deemed the compound a church, they aren't paying property taxes on the house and the owed back taxes on the land?

What are the statistics? 1 in 8 people are gay, something like that. Should be interesting in the Duggar home in about 10 years...

I can't begrudge them, I guess. My cousin would probably be doing the same thing but the assistant manager trainee program at Burger King is too time consuming to keep taking time off for gestation.

Other fun family trends I've learned from the Colbert Report:

The younger the sibling, the more likely to be gay (especially with boys).

The younger the sibling, the lower the IQ.

Every child forces themselves into a role in the family to get attention. Hence why these children may actually like doing laundry or cooking tater tot casseroles or changing diapers or doing whatever the boys get to do all day.

Jeezus another one?!!!

Someone sew up her vagina, pronto!

[hello26]

Sew her up AND castrate him! Somehow I don't think a vasectomy would take ....

[OSM Mom]

Welcome Jennifer! Enjoy the couple weeks you have with your mom until you're handed to your buddy so mom and dad can give you a little brother or sister. ICK!
