The Duggars are Legally Insane

Welp, its erficial...them Duggars got them EIGHTEEN kids now.

I realize they are raising their children the right way (although I think it is nuts to homeschool that entire brood) - but I've blogged about this before and the general consensus is that the Duggar clan is well behaved, well groomed, well educated, and the family is debt free. Some of these traits can be said about a few families in our fucked-up debt-ridden nation, but it is extremely rare for all of those traits to apply to one family simultaneously.

So, I get it. If they wanna keep squrtin' kids out until kingdom come, whatever. At least they are self-sufficient, contributing members of society.

But I still say they're insane . . . and here's why:

Jordyn-Grace weighed 3.26kg and was 51cm long at birth. The Duggars other
17 children are Joshua, 20; , 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 17; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 12; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah, nine; Jedidiah, nine; Jason, eight; James, seven; Justin, six; Jackson, four; Johannah, three; and Jennifer, one.
Notice all of the "J" names? Sorry, but that's getting annoying, Sparky. And won't they eventually run out of names? They'll have to start making them up out of thin air - like Jareka, or Jameshia, or Jonoyla, or . . .

Um. I guess they really don't have an issue with The Name Game. God knows there are plenty of fabricated monikers already on the circuit.

OK, so the OTHER reason they are headed for a white padded cell:

And Mr Duggar the newborn may not be the last for him and his 42-year-old wife.
"We both would love to have more," he told the Associated Press.
Gosh. Really? Because I'm fairly certain the elasticity of the uterus DOES have a breaking point.

LET IT GO, PEOPLE. Be done. Continue to raise your young'uns in the correct (albeit unfashionable) manner you have applied thus far. Don't stop molding them into proper young 'Merricuns. And then stop the fuck with the procreating.

It's just weird.

We thought about "Michael" for our boy, but then that would leave three of us with the initials "MJ" and then my wife with "JJ", so we decided to opt for something different on the boy.

Eventually, won't they have to have a kid named "Jughead"?

I guess some people just take God's word "Go Forth and Multiple!" a little too seriously.

hey...I like Jughead!

Once you have that many kids, it is just as easy to run your own school as it is to deal with the local indoctrination center. Hell, they are already bigger than some small town Texas and Oklahoma high schools.

Hell, my great grandparents had 14 kids. Of course, they were looking for hands to work in the field and keep the house.

I think the real indication that you have too many kids is when you have your own hospital bed.

You know, the Duggars should charge taxes to all of the landowners around their home and then supply the schooling facility for their kids and a few other families. The kids probably would get a better education than if they went to the local public school.

My mom was one of 8 and my Gpa was a farmer, hence the large family. Just like Phelps' family - they wanted worker bees. But my Grandma's uterus just about dang gave out after that many. I just don't see how it is possible to birth 18 in a healthy fashion.

Blech.

I live in the same town as the Dugger's. Michelle has made the comment once before (I think in the newspaper) that she was going to keep having kids until the good Lord decided she shouldn't have anymore.

I feel for the older kids. It's like an assembly line, the older kids take care of the younger ones. But they ARE well mannered kids!

Michelle can come across sickening sweet though. I'd much rather watch Jon & Kate + 8. Kate's normal - she talks & acts like a normal mother.

Who'd you rather listen to, Michelle, in a calm, little girl voice, "Josiah, that is not a very nice thing to do." Or Kate, in a ticked off Mom voice "Jon, could you come over here & help me PLEASE?" LOL

I was surprised to hear that she drove the extra 15 miles to the Catholic hospital & not the one closer to her house. Maybe she was afraid a well meaning doctor was gonna snip & cauterize a few things while he was in there...

That's funny! I totally agree - I've seen the Jon & Kate show and I must say, they are more normal in their parenting. Parents get ticked off, period. Them Duggars just ain't normal.

My uterus hurst for this woman and I don't even have any kids!!! That is just wrong. Even the Human Society has laws on over breeding!

Well, in the words of Monty Python "Every Sperm is Sacred"

If they ever run out of J names, one of the Smurfs was named Jokey. Just a thought.

The next name will be "Jesus." I'm surprised they haven't used it yet.
