10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Having Kids

Michelle Duggar gave birth to her 18th child on Thursday. Mrs. Duggar delivered daughter Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar by C-Section. Mom and baby are healthy and doing fine.Thanks to ErinaM for posting this story on the Hot List!
The Duggars are popular here at CafeMom. AngiDas wanted to know what other moms thought about the new Duggar baby. I've seen quite a few journal posts about the Duggar family and The Duggars Seventeen...and Counting group will need to have a name change, just like the TLC show.
What do you think of having 18 kids? Michelle Duggar seems to have endless patience and nerves of steel. I would be curled up in a ball if I was a mom of 18, how about you? But I grew up near a family of 10, and another family of 14 kids, and both these families were the happiest people I've ever known. What do you think of The Duggars, their TV show or just the idea of having 18 kids? Talk to me and tell me what you think.
Here's a link to a clip of Jinger, Cousin Amy and Grandma Duggar talking about the new baby.

I really have nothing against them, I have seen the show, but I did not like them taking there kids to thrift stores for used shoes. And I really don't see her being a full time mom, I mostly see the older girls doing the mommy part and saw the mom and dad in the office or off doing whatever. So I cannot really wonder how she does it when I have not. seen her doing alot of it. I have only seen about 3-4 episodes. It is ok, but I am not amazed or anything. My favorite in Jon and Kate plus eight.
I agree- I like Jon & Kate better. But I must admit the Duggars seem happy. I don't think I would as patient as Kate or Michelle!
I don't like the religious parts of the show. It seems like indoctrination to me. But they have every right to! Just not for us
I was happy and surprised to scroll down and see this post. Not sure why but I have thought about these kids for several days now.
the Duggars. It is indeed their business and the way the two parents decided to live their life but something about it makes me hurt for those kids that are the "real" parents.
In my mind, I think of the parents (good people they truly seem) like rabbits, just making more babies for those next in line to raise. I haven't seen the Mother do anything but supervise either and teach a little school in their home commune . I feel for those kids that may be just keeping their lips sealed for now but am interested in the "one or two" that may speak out later in their adult years at what life was truly like for them.
I guess if I thought any deeper, we are all "conditioned" to think or act a certain way and it certainly could be a lot worse for them than it is. I don't see any physical abuse or mental abuse but it's just not for me.
If ALL are truly deliriously happy, then good for them, they achieved their goals they set out when married.
I can't help but think of a friend that was one of 14 kids and feels she was just another "field" hand for work in the garden and around the house. There was not any love shown in their home that she felt, so maybe that is the reason I feel the way I do
My post was too long, so I had to come back and say, I love Jon and Kate plus 8. They are more my style, lots of real emotion and hilarious bantering between Jon and Kate. Those kids are precious, as are the Duggars children.
My grands and I don't miss Jon and Kate. I could eat that little Hannah up !!!
The Duggars have always intrigued me. I love their show! I am a fan. I have never really seen Jon & Kate.
I like what nonnie3160 had to say. She seems like she is not a "mother" to the children. It seems like the older children "mother" the one they were assigned too.
I think they are GREAT role models of what FAMILY should REALLY be like. Having that many children is great in the fact that the older ones SHOULD help out with the younger ones. It teaches them responsibility & prepares them for life & what it takes to run a home & a family! I applaud them!
Yeah I totally agree with the statement of not seeing her mother the kids. How could she possibly, From the mother herself she said the babies are her job until they reach the age of 2 then they are handed off to a "buddy" to be overseen .... ugh I think that is just horrid. Im sure she did her mothering with the first few as she had no choice but as they got older and she kept popping them out she hands them off to another "child" to raise. I believe this family is totally irresponsible and while I hope they are truely happy it will be interesting to see if any of the older children ever do speak out and tell exactly how the really feel about being built in nannies and maids.
What they do is their business, as long as they're not on welfare or anything to pay for all those kids. Which they're not. So I guess, overall, I just shrug and don't see what is the big deal about them.
I do feel sorry for the older girls. They really are the "mothers" and do most of the work, which they didn't ask for. They should get a chance to be teenagers and not have all that on their shoulders.
The family does seem happy (almost unnaturally so) but I don't think I'd want to hang out with them.
