    femme fatale wrote:Those people are crazy as sin. How you gonna have 18 kids and then say you want more? It's like they are forming some sort of militia to further promote their antiquated ideas about life in general. With that many kids, some of them are bound to be neglected or ignored at a certain point because how can you see them all at once? You can't. Oh and yeah, that tunnel is a canyon now. Wouldn't surprise me if there may be 1 or 2 might be hiding out in there unaccounted for.

    Well unless you got proof that they are neglected, your reasoning fails. I'd be willing to bet the average only child due to birth control is more emotionally neglected than any of these kids. And if their ideas were so antiquated, people wouldn't be so afraid of them.

    I think people's own insecurities are revealed by this couple, and their own judgmental views. It's definitely very revealing as to how people REALLY think.

    That's just bygone religious folk for you. They think it's their duty to be fruitful and to multiply like rabbits. The more kids, the closer to God and all that jazz. That they don't have health insurance makes the story all the more disturbing.

    "They are all so different," Kelly said. "No two are alike."

    Like snowflakes!

    Seriously these people should just have a huge tropical fish tank instead.

    I don't understand. If she said they decided to let "God decide" how many kids they would have, then why is she having hormone therapy to conceive? If you can't carry a baby without it then "there's your sign". I'm surprised her uterus hasn't fallen out yet.

    It is of no concern to me how many kids people have as long as they can afford them. Clearly this family can not afford having more because the ones they do have are not insured, and the parents are not paying privately.

    It's their business how many kids they want to have, but I don't envy them in any way shape or form, or think that their family is at all charming.

    A woman's body isn't designed to pop out 18 children. I can't fathom being on your back for LI-TE-RAL-LY half of your damn life like this chick and Michele Duggar. But, whatever. That's their shit.
