This family is a complete success. They are completely self-reliant, they love each other, they give back to the community. You don't ever see Duggars sniping the values, beliefs or lifestyle of others. These kids are well-mannered, genuinely happy, intelligent and joyful. How many families today can say that they want to spend time with each other? Or that their kids love and respect their parents and each other? How many of us wish our kids were as giving, kind, and encouraging to others?

I wish the assholes nay saying this family would tell me how are the Duggars hurting their pot smoking, have they seen a Duggar begging the naysayers their drug-money at their doors? Have they lost a moment masturbating in front of the computer because of the Duggars? or putting on their goth makeup while asking mommy for money for the rave? Hey losers when one is living as they like and is happy about it it's called winning, a strange new concept for all of you, but I can see it stings you all.

@young5ever Do you understand the mandates of the doctrine that this family adheres to? If not, you should hold your breath.

I can't help but really like them. They never say a bad word about anyone, they love eachother so much and are genuinely good. I am glad they're having lots of babies, we need more people like them in this world.

According to statistics, at least two of the children will end up gay.

I think that getting pregnant with kid 20 was irresponsible, given the preeclampsia with 19, but so what? They can live their life how they want to. I don't see them needing gov aid if she dies. They seem successful and at least financially able to care for their kids. Sure, I think their beliefs are loopy, but so what? Eventually their kids will grow up, as I and most other non believers did, and possibly take some time to think critically about their beliefs.

@BaseballNOtherDrugs I also heartily agree with your point about many children who don't have good homes...that if anything is the most compelling point.

[Yuri92001]

@BaseballNOtherDrugs I agree with your point about the mother and child's life being in danger in that it's not exactly a smart thing to knowingly endanger yourself and potentially the fetus. However, if they are having the kids....can support them financially...and in the end they turn out healthy would that then still be cause for all of our collective disdain? If they are able to care for their children even despite their craziness, I don't have a problem with that.

[BaseballNOtherDrugs]

@Yuri92001 What bothers me is the fact that they're BIRTHING this many kids. It would be different if they had adopted 20 and had the means to support them. But in this world, we have not only a problem with overpopulation, but also many children who do not have good homes. And it's especially bad that they're birthing this many kids because when you get up to such a high number, both the lives of the mother and baby are in danger. Adoption would have been a solution to both of those issues.

i hate these parents. they are doing all this for the fame, but they don't even have the time to spend with their kids and once someone passes them they have all these extra kids all over the place

[Webuiltthepyramids]

The only thing that concerns me about this family is I don't know if they have the time to give all the children a lot of attention. Siblings can, of course, but parents can't possibly give the same amount of attention to 20 kids as they could ten, five, three, etc. I don't think they are horrible parents, but as the eldest of two in my family, it's hard for me to be able to just picture that working out.

@BbwJessie Issue number one is called child rearing honey, something you obviously aren't able to comprehend and thus are far from capable to do.
