I noticed quite a bit of buzz on the internet today about the Duggar family’s latest news. They are expecting baby number 19, who will be younger that his or her first nephew.
I found the news interesting due to the fact that Michelle Duggar is still alive after giving birth to that many babies. Seriously, my uterus pretty much fell out after the second child. I don’t miss it. I love my kids, but I did not enjoy anything about pregnancy.
I have to admit to being awed by this family who is seeming to do well regardless of how many mouths they have to feed. Also, for all intents and purposes, the children are all mild mannered and well behaved. This is a serious feat.
I feel I have to mention the overwhelming amount of negativity toward the fact that the Duggar’s are having their 19the child. It is as if people are mistaking them for the Octomom who had no money nor prospects but still chose to give birth to multiples regardless of the consequences for the other kids. Not that bashing the Octomom is right… it is just that I can understand where people are coming from as they feel her actions affect their pocket.
The comments were crude.
The comments were rude.
The comments suggested the parents find out a new way to entertain themleves.
I see nothing wrong with the family having another child, especially if the family can afford it and it makes them happy. My question is why do we have to hear about it?
The answer is obvious. As long as people are willing to watch it the show will remain on the air. So if America is obsessed with the family and their life, why do they bash them for continuing to live as they had been?
