I read today she had a miscarriage. It's a shame but 20 kids is not a blessing, its an example of gluttony with no care of responsibility.
I respectfully have to disagree.
In this time of people saying a womans body is her own to do with what she wants, including scraping another human out of herself, it would also be her right to have as many children as she can care for/afford. Yes, I know the older children help with the younger. There's nothing unique in that.
I don't necessarily agree with the duggars lifestyle, but people seem to forget that even before they appeared on television, they were raising a family without any kind of government assistance, and love each one.
Their choice to appear on TV made them money, sure. Nothing wrong with that.
Saying that one thinks their lifestyle is "weird" or the way they dress their kids is unfashionable, doesn't equal a bad upbringing.
They breed them, and they feed them. They are loved, and it appears the children have love for their parents and each other. They all seem in good health, and each have a bed to sleep in, and a roof over their heads.
I figure a lot of people don't think 2 women or 2 men should raise children together, but it's more hip to advocate that than for a family to have as many kids as they want.
It's sad she had a miscarriage, and I'll leave it at that.
