I will not be able to remember all of their names, on top of that, all have the same initials.

Congratulations to the Duggars on baby #17.

I just thought of something. I usually say the other boys name before I get the right one I'm wanting. Just think of the Duggars.....Hey Josh wait John..I mean Joe or did I want James.

Sounds like me. LOL I'll have to put a pic next to their names on my list. :haha:

:Hahaha:

One of the men at my church told me that his father had named all three of his sons similar sounding names. His reason was that he didn't want to have to call all of them. He figured if he called one, they'd all come because the names sounded so much alike: Tom, Don, and John.

It's probably just me.......but I'd find it annoying to have seventeen immediate family members ALL having the same beginning initial. :unsure: I don't have any idea why......I guess it would just get old for me. C'mon, there are 25 lonely, rejected little members of the alphabet, just waiting for their turn to come!

Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more. Michelle Duggar says the family would "love to have more" and "love the ruffles and lace."

Maybe I'm just being sensitive, but can't they spend a little time and just enjoy the kids they have and the joy of their new little one after her birth instead of talking about having more?

More!? And they speak there are problems with natality issue!

Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar announce #18 is on the way!!!

"We are so grateful to God to announce that Michelle is expecting our 18th child, due in January of 2009!"

:faint2:

Wow. I missed this thread...where the heck was I last year?! :think:

Well, I've caught up on the entire subject. I must say, I'm in absolute agreement with every word Rose Red has said. I did see the Duggars on TLC and it's impossible not to like them. They are a neat family, so this is not 'personal.' I'm not going to go into great detail---it's a contraversial subject---but felt the need to give support to what Rose Red was saying (not sure if she's even here anymore?, haven't seen her in awhile)...anyway, I agree with her that it's simply irresponsible to the planet as a whole, and I agree with her statement regarding adoption. I have much more respect for the couples that have house-loads of kids who were in foster care. I'm sorry, I just simply cannot go along with this.

I saw them make the announcement that they were expecting...........again...........a couple of weeks ago on the Today Show. The whole family was there.

I'm not reading the whole thread, but I know danged good and well I'm not taking the blame for this one....

I love big families, within reason...BUT....Honestly, how much time can each child have with Mom and Dad in this situation? I think back on the precious moments my Mom and I spent with each of our babies, and if we'd have 17 other children to take care of, there's no way we could have had those special moments. I know that a lot of times, older children are put in charge of some of the younger ones, to help out. But, that isn't the same as having time with MOM. (Whether "Mom" is biological, adoptive, Grandma or an Aunt)

All I can say is I'm glad I'm not a Duggar ... :BatHit:

The Duggars seem to me now some attention grabbing people. The announcement on TV of their 18th child is proof of that. And are they really thinking about the kids when they name them all starting with a letter J? No, they are thinking of themselves.

It's selfish for them to announce that it's #18. If they love the Lord so much, why don't they adopt a child who REALLY needs help and hope. Don't they have compassion and think of the mothers who can't have babies and here is Michelle announcing her 18th? A kid who will live in a humongous house and travel places while TLC or the Discovery channel video tapes them.

The Duggars get a lot of donations and heard that they recently applied for their 7,000 sq. ft. home to be a church for tax-exempt status

I love the Dugger family and I'm not passing any judgement on them. If God gives children, then to Him be the glory.
