TC, you make a very excellent point. We do live in a free country and should be able to raise our children how we see fit. You are right they aren't being molested etc...and are probably well adjusted. My concern, however, is when they join the "real" world...talk about culture shock.

I truly and honestly mean no offense to the people of Arkansas, especially my Bill Clinton, but it is Arkansas....adjusting to the real world in Arkansas is different than joining it in say LA or NYC or even Taos.
Some people find pleasure in the simple things in life, like family and togetherness and shun the modern world. I don't blame them.
Dont' get me wrong...that is a shitload of kids.
But I don't think it is wrong for them to live their lives the way they do.

I KNOW!!! I always watch it on TLC, too! I'm like bizarrely obsessed with them. I mean, why the priarie dresses? Why the hair-dos? I wish I could be a fly on the wall in their house...and then fly away!

I admit that Arkansas tends to be a little slower than most states...but they're still part of the U.S.A in 2008. I'm not sure the Duggars are. LOL

(I have several family members who live in Hot Springs, AR and I visit there frequently.)

ya we need to be tv partners.

this kind of stuff and big love.. we are all set.

but in this day and age where a child cost so much to live that they would have so many. and sure they may find joy in the simple pleasures of life.. but who do you think paid for that house? and everything in it? us. cause we watch their shows and donate money and think "oh my god this woman has 19 kids, we should help her". and she just keeps poppin them out.

I found this tidbit interesting:

Michelle went back on the pill, but she conceived and had a miscarriage. At that point they talked with a Christian medical doctor and read the fine print in the contraceptives package. They found that while taking the pill you can get pregnant and then miscarry. They were grieved! They were Christians! They were pro-life! They realized that their selfish actions had taken the life of their child. They prayed and asked God to forgive them, and to teach them to love children like He loves children.

I live in Arkansas... I must say, yes, a lot of people here can seem pretty backwards. But, even in Arkansas, "The Duggars", they come across like complete loons.

We could definitely be tv partners! And don't forget Dexter

EXACTLY! The same thing with Jon & Kate Plus 8. (Love them too, but why is Kate so mean to her hubby??)

Well, from what I've heard her body is in bad shape. She's had 2 c-sections and I guess it's REALLY bad for the mom to have regular births after c-sections (because of scarring). She had to search and search until she found a doctor who would do natural births despite the risks.

There is some controversy about whether or not a VBAC is safe or not. Some people believe it is a huge risk to have a VBAC; others will tell you that the risk is no greater than the risks that come with a c-section recovery. As someone who had a c-section and might have another kid, I don't know what to think about that! Every doc will tel lyou something different.

I would think that, after 2 c-sections, I'd be far less interested in continuing either type of childbirth!! I do remember hearing (around the time I had Annabelle) that they say it's safest to have no more than 2 c-sections.

Ok. I'm rambling.

VBAC...THAT's what's it's called...I couldn't remember.

And, yeah, I know my mom had 2 c-sections...and after my brother was born she decided no more kids.

I'm in the northeast, a city called Jonesboro... just an hour outside of Memphis(Come back!!!!!!).
I honestly don't know what I would think if I saw the Duggars out and about around town... all 50 of them.

I've been to Jonesboro, I think. Shockingly, I like Arkansas! It's a beautiful state...so lush and green...I always find it really relaxing and comforting when I'm back there. My grandparents live in Pearcy and up until my Grandpa died 2 years ago...they raised cattle.

LOL! I know. LOL!

Oh, there was an episode where they were in the delivery room and while she was in labor she kept screaming "PRAISE JESUS". I found that hilarious for some reason. If I was in pain "praise jesus" would be the LAST thing I'd be yelling.
