If you’re as obsessed as I am with The Duggars, the very Christian family who are expecting their 18th child, have I got a treat for you. Below is an inadvertently hilarious youtube post from Ma and Pa Dugger announcing said impending birth the morning after doing a pregnancy test. At one point, Jim Bob is all like, show the people the wee stick Michelle, and Michelle is like, no Jim Bob, that would be un-Godly.
There are photos of the Duggar’s house here and it’s a slide-show well worth seeing. It looks more like a conference centre than a house and there is a full-service restaurant in their kitchen. None of the kids have wardrobes in their rooms, they go to the laundry room and choose something ugly from the racks of clothes.
When a clip about the Duggar family and their dozens of kids was posted on another blog, I have to share with you one of the comments:
"This just goes to show that you should never let anyone called Jim Bob near your coochie. No good will come of it."

A thought to ponder though - do we think it is very "godly" to be receiving all this exposure and possible $$$$ from being a family of 17.5?
They seem like a happy, well-adjusted family. It's nice that the kids share a room like many siblings do all over the world (I don't know how they do it with so many siblings though!). The kids seem like they have been brought up well, pitching in etc. It's kind of sad that we view a happy family as "creepy". They kind of creep me out too!
Have to say though, I'm kind of with the Chinese on trying to curb our population growth. It would be nice if people could recognise the severe pressure the planet is under with a nearing 2 billion population! Having babies might be great, but in the big picture we probably need to cut back!
