The Duggar Family is pregnant AGAIN!

[Quest4fun]

Oooh, even worse... the girls are probably fully aware of when their parents are doin' the nasty.

As far as I know they have a lock on their door to keep them out but I'm sure the moment is still celebrated be each and every child.

 

[wishspirit]

i agree!!

But not so graphically!

Do you think she will actually stop at 18??

I feel happy for the miracle of a baby, but I bet those kids look ill and shocked because they are tired of raising children! Yes, you can have as many children as you would like. However it is not the job of your other children to raise them. That is selfish. I swear she pops them out like popcorn from an air popper. I also agree that I don't know any 19 year old (especially a boy!) who wants to dress like his 2 year old brother. Good Lord! Maybe Jim Bob needs to stick to his juristictions and leave Michelle alone. They seem like a pleasant family and I have no problems with large families (heck I would love more kids!) but dh and I will be raising our kids. We won't be passing them off to a buddy. Ridiculous.

Too true. I'd have loved more children myself (my ideal family was 6, but I only got 2). However, had I had the 6 I most certainly would not have asked the older sibings to be mothering the little ones. I had children because I wanted to be a mother and I wanted the joys of raising them. I feel sorry for the older Duggar children and all the responsibilites they have. It's just not right. If the parents wish to breed like rabbits, then go right ahead, but raise "all" chidren yourselves. Some new clothes for the kids would be nice too and Michelle's hair is sooooooooooooooo out of date. I don't know when we will see this new addition over here, but I sure will be keeping an eye out out for it.

The Cabbage Patch Doll thing is crazy. From
http://www.pfo.org/evol-fad.htm


Take for example Gothard’s “Cabbage Patch” flap. In 1986, he taught that the highly popular Cabbage Patch Dolls were causing strange and destructive behavior in children that could only be alleviated when the dolls were removed or destroyed.

In a letter from his organization, his followers were told by representative Ginger Jones that to enter into a written agreement to love a doll was a violation of the First Commandment. The threat as seen by Gothard was that by adopting a doll, children might not want to raise up their own godly children.8 Children may “love” dolls as they do other toys but this does not mean they worship them.

Testimonials were included with the above letter about the awful effects of the dolls with no allowance made for other environmental and social factors in the homes. The Cabbage Patch doll became a scapegoat.

That is simply appalling. I cannot even believe someone who has lived to this century or the previous one for that matter could possibly believe such a thing. Oh that is just....no words for it.

One toilet looks smaller. Maybe they potty with their younger buddies, to teach potty training by example.

No no no! I refuse to believe that. Ick ick ick.

No.

No because a couple of posters on here have talked about how she has already been told by at least on Dr to stop. I do recall now about having to switch Drs for the last one. I guess it's good that they have this buddy system otherwise that would be one heck of a lot of little kids left without their mom as she keeps putting herself in danger.

Okay so no one answered so I am asking again....Do they really get to earn time with mom adn dad and call it Duggtopia or something along those lines? Of course, I suppose if that is the only way you get mom or dad to yourself, you can call it whatever you want.

No! In a thread about the last baby someone said that they think she has a "sort of" mental illness about this. She likes being pregnant and having the babies but not the day to day stuff, that's why at a certain time she shuffles them off to another child to take care of.

Just found this on a website


Both Duggars are real estate agents, and both also host Bible-based “Financial Freedom Seminars.” They also own commercial properties. From 1999-2002, Jim Bob served in the Arkansas House of Representatives. He lost a bid for the U.S. Senate in 2002.

Buddy system
With that many children, organization is everything. Each older child has one or two younger “buddies” for whom he or she is responsible. Breakfast is at 8, after which the family “quick-cleans” the house. At 9, home schooling starts, again with the older children helping to tutor the younger ones.

AND THIS........


Fifteen-year-old Jill is responsible for preparing lunch, which is served at noon. At 1:30, all the children ages 4 and under break for naps while the older children engage in group studies using materials from the Advanced Training Institute International, an organization that produces Bible-based home instruction materials.

At 4, the children work on individual studies while Jana, 17, prepares dinner, which is served at 5. There is free time and shifts at the piano, an instrument being learned by 11 of the children, all of whom also play the violin. At 8, it’s baths followed by “Bible time with Daddy.” Bedtime is 10 p.m.

With so many children, there is a sign-up list in the kitchen for children who feel they need one-on-one time with a parent. But Michelle says that she actually has more one-on-one time and quality time with her children than most because she home-schools them and is with them all day.

I find it interesting that so many people think this is really a big deal. I say that because there are a lot of families in certain areas of the US where there are large concentrations of a certain religion where it is common to have "large" families. There are several around here that have over 2 dzen kids.

I do think it is sad for the older kids because they are forced to be responsible for little ones....

That is absolutely crazy that the kids have to "sign up" for time with their parents. That definitely doesn't sound like it is very healthy for any child.

I wish I would have had this as a child. My mother never seemed to have time for me, and I was an only child.

I think that poster was joking about it being called that but yes they can schedule time with their parents.

 

[PrincessSuzanne]

I guess maybe I would have too and I was also an only child to a single parent, but now that I am an adult, I understand why my mother didn't have more time. She was too tired from working all the time, but we have certainly made up for it as adults. I did get alot of attention from my grandmother, which I don't have now since she passed away almost 7 years ago. It all evens out in the end.

That would make sense, but it's almost like a brainwashed attitude IMO. Her voice and mannerisms remind me of the mothers in the compound in TX from a few weeks ago.

I would think her pregnancies are high risk at this point, which means more rest, and keeping her feet up. Kids waiting on her, and another excuse for her to not have to take care of her own children.

You seriously think it is okay for girls to be taught that it is their job to cook and clean for men, to produce babies for them, and to only take part in careers that are traditionally low paid, lower respect, and often require little education? And meanwhile men should be encouraged to take up any career that they like, to take up intellectual pursuits, and to "take care of women" by providing the income for the 20+ children they are required to carry and bear? Because that is the sense I get from this family and others that insist on "traditional" (i.e. sexist) gender roles.

Perhaps what's wrong with the traditional roles is that they are completely made up by society and horribly detrimental and disrespectful to women. There is nothing about having a ****** that makes women better able to cook or clean and nothing about having a ***** that makes men better able to be scholars or work on a car. That's why throughout history people have had to make up so many crack-pot rationalizations for these roles--"Oh women can't be allowed education because it will make their uteruses wander" or "Oh, we can't ask men to do their fair share of cleaning because that would be an insult to their masculinity."

Besides the obvious detrimental affects that traditional gender roles have had on women for hundreds of years (keeping them uneducated, financially dependent on men, having no power in society, etc) there is a lot of recent research showing other kinds of problems with traditional gender attitudes. Amongst other things strong adherence and belief in traditional gender roles is correlated with high levels of homophobia, low levels of intimacy, and most disturbingly strong belief in traditional gender roles has been shown to be a very reliable predictor of attitudes which downplay the seriousness of violence against women in intimate relationships and/or have an attitude of blame towards the female victim.

So really the question is--why in the heck would ANYONE support traditional gender roles when they have been nothing but detrimental to women?

The answer is because it is advantageous to men. This may have already been pointed out in the last 10 pages, but I didn't want to pass up the chance to bump up such a great post.

I just went and looked at those photos. The thing that seemed sad to me was that it was always one of the girls holding the baby. Not that I have a problem with kids helping with her, but that my joy in babies was holding them as much as possible. I miss that so much.

Per the toilet, I would assume there are two sizes, because it is assumed that there will always be little ones in the house. Our YMCA has both, for that reason.

The CPD thing is ridiculous. Where some people come up with these ideas is beyond me. Unless I jumped threads with that one!

LOL posted this on the wrong thread earlier!

Thank you! I've read through this entire thread, and that is what I was thinking the whole time. There are so many characteristics that are so similar to the crazy compound (except the polygomy part). I know you shouldn't judge people by how they dress, but come on, we aren't in the 50's anymore.
But mostly it's what they are doing to the older siblings that drives me crazy. Why in the world did they tell the kids about the new baby on live television? That was so unfair. No wonder the oldest boy looked like he was about to throw up.
And I literally spit out my drink when I read the clown car quote! That is truly tag worthy!!
