Wow! Wow! 19 children and the baby will be younger than her grandchild! Jeeezeee!

Ok, really. It's time to stop. We know your uterus works.

That's exactly what I said...until I looked at their ages. Michelle is younger than my mom was when she had me so I know women that age and definitely have kids with no problems. If she's still healthy and still out of debt....meh. I didn't know babymaking could be a career choice, but there ya go. Congrats.

Now, for the whole "I'd like if people.com could help us find a J-name?" Uh, no. If/when there's a next kid, I'd like them to totally surprise everyone and NOT alert the media. Let the pregnancy actually be just a personal family affair. That would increase their spot on the "awesome-meter."

They are about to have child #19.

Hell, I want her to send me a little of her fertility! Or at least some vibes! (don't get me started!)

So random girl on facebook is mad because "It's wrong to have that many children because they won't live to be in all their children's lives."

:confused:

This happens more than you know and not to people with 19 kids. I know a lot of folx whose aunts or uncles are younger than they are.

To each their own. I just still have a hard time figuring out how they take care of all of these children on ONE SALARY with no debt and no government assistance....

Sorry, I am from that school of "if you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em"!
I admire them for not having debt and if they can take care and pay for their children without relying on taxpayers money, I ain't mad at them.

But I know to each their own, but I am not feeling her being a "clown car"

I'm quite familiar with this. I just would have figured that she wouldn't feel the need to continue having children, since now her children are starting families of their own and she can be involved in her grandchildren's lives.

Silly me :rolleyes:

I'm just glad that they can provide for these children, but I couldn't imagine the costs of raising 19 children - and not just financial costs...

I had a hard time with that, too. Then I figured promos and proceeds from the TV show, other folx just sending them moneyand items, and who knows maybe he or/and she come from wealthy families. If all they have to do is feend and cloth everyone off of one salary, that is doable. Not to mention all of the teens could be working and I bet everyone know how to fix things and maintain the house--so little to no expenses there.

To me it doesn't sound like she feels the need to continue having children (the article read as if she seemed surprised.) I think it's that they do not believe in birth control and the children are God's will.
