…to 41 year old Michelle Dugger who is pregnant with her 18th child. I saw a documentary about this family on the Discovery channel a couple of years and kids ago. Back then, I think the Duggers had 15 children and were having their 16th.
Some things you might want to know about the family:
- There are currently 7 girls and 10 boys. Two sets of twins.
- They’re from Arkansas and are fundamentalist somethings – Christians? Methodists? I can’t remember but you can visit their website here. This will come in handy if you become as obsessed with them as I have been since I saw that documentary. Although it’s hard to actually get any information from the website that’s not about “our lord saviour Jesus Christ”.
- MIchelle has the worst mullet I have ever seen on a human.
- The children and parents are all dressed like Amish people although they’re not actually Amish. Close.
- Michelle’s husband is called Jim Bob and – perhaps in tribute to him – all their children’s names begin with J: Josh, 20; Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 16; Jessa, 15; Jinger,
14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9;
Jason, 7; James, 6; Justin, 5; Jackson, 3; Johannah, 2; and Jennifer,
9-months. - All the kids are home-schooled.
- Michelle’s been pregnant for 135 months of her life.
- Average number of months between Duggar births is 18.
- Estimated number of Duggar diapers to date is 90,000.
- The Duggars do approximately 200 loads of laundry each month.
- The Duggars feed their entire brood for less than $2,000 per month.
- Every Duggar child learns to play both violin and piano.
- The family organizes their household chores by assigning
“jurisdictions,” so everyone knows exactly what their daily
responsibilities are.
- The Duggars estimate all the family members combined have worked approximately 39,000 total hours building their new house.
- The Duggars are debt free.

Aren't they all such beautiful children? This is what amazes me, they are just so clean and well dressed. So obviously the older children are dedicated to the home and to their siblings which is fantastic. How does that woman do it? I can't control 2 kids, they don't do a thing I say so I think I'll look to her for inspiration.
