She's pregnant with ANOTHER one?!?!?!?!

I'm a conservative that believes in big families with strong family values... but COME ON!!! 18 Kids?!?!?! Buy a TV fer christsake.

I say, good for them. They can obviously take great care of their children.

They give me the creeps. That woman is like a zombie.

I sure won't be watching.

I don't think she's a zombie. I just think she's one of those people who doesn't have, and has never had, any real personal interest in anything outside her family. Obviously. She's got 18 kids! My brother-in-law and his wife are the same way. If it's not about their nuclear family, they ain't listening.

I find the husband much more unappealing than the wife. But the kids are cute and funny and perfectly natural. Compare them to the budding sociopaths and divorcees in the making on that Sweet 16 horrorfest and some of the other reality shows.

The question I have always wanted to have an answer to is how in the world does this woman's body hold up under the stress. Pregnancy is hard and to be pregnant for that many years is just beyond my imagination. Watching them is somehow disturbing.

I watched them on a special when they drove to Disney Land in a Winnebago..I really feel for these kids..They dont have a life outside of their siblings. They are so sheltered.. They oldest boy is like 19 and never dated before. I am so afraid they are going to have incest thing going on. They are like zombies.. the parents are so boring and they children I just want to pray. I think the husband has voodoo or some type of control on them and they dress like the children from the cult...this family is very very scary...

i'll watch the show, at least a couple of times - just to see the family dynamic. i think it's interesting that they are so proud of having so many kids, yet it seems to be the oldest raising the youngest....they're beautiful kids though - which one of them could they give up? i say if they can afford it and not take advantage of the older kids, why not...

I think that the Duggar family is very Blessed they are an awesome influnce on todays couple's with children. God Bless them.

The US average costs to raise one child is $14000 per year. These low lifes are depending on the generosity of others to provide for their sideshow. This should be illegal.

this family is ridiculous! I actually find it disgusting. how old is the woman?? some people should not be allowed to have children. just because you're fertile doesn't mean you have to compensate for everyone who is not! they need to stop. now.

they give me the creeps! how old is the oldest kid and the parents have never let him spend any time alone with a girl, not even the one they've chosen for him, from that other weirdo family they've formed their "church" with. they're not wonderful-they're just on the other side of the extreme from the 'britney spears' parents. Both types scare me. he seems like a jonestown-ey cult leader and she strikes me as his brainwashed right hand. And enough with the breeding! my irish-catholic grandparents didn't have that many kids! And they lived on a farm, in an era when there were a lot more infant deaths. Did no one teach these people about the finite resources they're hogging? They don't believe in birth control? How bout the Rhythm method, lady? even the catholic church supports that one!!! isn't their cult big enough?

No, they do not depending on others to provide for their family. They have always been very capable of handling things themselves. They are truly a fabulous family from the things I've read and watched about them. Coming from a large family myself - my Mom's fmaily - I find it very interesting how they do it and I will be watching their show! Do I agree with everyhitng they do? Certainly not. But whatever it is they are doing with and for their children is far superior to most of this country and the way parents let "kids be kids".

Although I am a firm believer in birth control, this family seems to be handling everything very well and does not take "handouts" as the above post said. If you had ever watched a show about them, you would know that. Personally, the 2 kids I have are enough for me, but that is not everyone's choice. That's what this is about "Choice" they choose to continue to have children. I do worry that Michelle's health, after all of these pregnancies, may fail at some point and I hope her Dr's are keeping a close eye on things. If it comes to a choice between her health and another pregnancy, I certainly hope she and her family would not choose to lose her just for more children.

I have personally talked with JimBob and Michelle, If they can support there kids that is great. they are a good family,They both know how to support those kids and there way of life is better than that breeding farm in Texas. but it not that uncommon to have a lot of kids these days. My sister and her husband has 10 children i dont see any tv producers calling them.OR ANY ONE ELSE WITH MORE THAN 10 KIDS!!! with my sister passing away last year its just my brother in law taking care of the kids with no hand outs or assistant from the state.Luckly most of the kids are school aged. iam pretty sure there are other families out there in the world that has more than 10 kids and none of them are bieng called in to the spot light

I loved watching the way this family worked with each other. They are a very interesting lovable family that has it together. I can't believe she's preggers again. I wonder how many more they plan on having. I have four and that's plenty for me but some people are just meant to do that which is great. I think the Duggars will have successful kids. Those kids are so focused. I think it's great they want their own reality show and I will definately be watching them like I did when they first came out.

In today world it's great to see a family with faith, morals, and family values.
It's a great way for our young men and women to see Our Lord never gives us more then we can handle, he will provide.
Bless you all

I saw a show about this family with the mother bragging about how all she ever has to buy are socks and underwear. She said everyone in the area is constantly dropping trash at her house. Asides from money, nobody can emotionally support 18 children or have time for all that. I would also be embarrassed to brag about having my oldest raising the youngest. Not to mention these children are missing out important life lessons such as socialization in new environments and developing an independent personality. Let's hope these children grow up to be unproductive sheep like their parents.

I have alot of respect for the family, I come from a big family,And yes I will watch their show and shame on those who suggest incest, They are just a loving family leave them alone

I feel sorry for people who can't see the benefits of a large family and the lifelong bonds that it builds. Our society is too commercial, too disposable, and too selfish.Different cultures survive totally on family and extended family to provide for and raise children and the elders including the older children all participate in raising and caring for the younger ones.Our society doesn't even want to care for our elderly anymore. Just because it's not your style doesn't mean it doesn't work. I commend them and may God bless them.

Well ill be having that much kids to if the olders ones are taking care of the younger ones to!!! All she is doing is laying on her back having KIDS the older kids doesnt have a clue about the REAL world Lady you should stop having kids and let the older kids explore life with out having a "BUDDY" with them. And what is up with the clothes they wear... Do they think there back in the 1920's wake up its 2008... We are always talking about child labor I think they should keep an eye on these people the kids cook, clean, teach, build they do everything and the MOTHER only goal in life is just having sex to get pregnant so every one can have a "BUDDY" what a life LOL LOL
I wouldnt be watching this show

i think its a little strange . i wouldnt go there. my great grandma had 12 and my husbands grandparents had 23 so what ever you want, they seem to be happy. thats what counts.and you never see their house dirty have you ever watched the Roloffs they ae a bunch of pigs their house is dirty all the time and the younger boy needs his butt blistered these big familys dont seem to have trouble with there kids well maybe maddy on jon and kate could stand a kick in the pants once and a while in stead of the corner but all in all they are good kids too

Those who are being so negative have obviously never heard of this family before. They are inspirational. It's their choice to have so many kids, I would never do it, but they have...so I say good for them! They are remarkable! I'd much rather watch them than some of these lame teeny bopper shows like the hills or super sweet 16...those are some screwed up kids...not the Duggars...the Duggars have great values that are not often seen in todays society...personally, I'm sick of seeing all these shows about spoiled rich brats who are dumber than rocks and have no morals.

great family but dang - that mom is on the wrong reality show. She needs "What Not to Wear" desperately - at least for that hair.

I love this family! We currently only have 5 children with a 6th on the way, so we actually learn quite a bit from them. Their children are so intelligent, hard working, down to earth, and very mature! I'm not sure what people think "teenagers" should be like - certainly they should not be like the ones I run into around town showing 2/3 of their skin and being rude and disrespectful - but I think they are a great example of what children should really be like. I think most people are just jealous and that's why they react negatively to the Duggars. They have no idea how to get their children to pick up their own dirty laundry, much less do the household laundry. Their daughters are leaving home to "do their own thing" so learning to cook a meal for the family never crossed their minds. We live a lot like the Duggars and will continue to have children. It's actually very healthy for our bodies. Less cycles in a woman's lifetime, as well as more breastfeeding reduces every form of female cancer. Birth control and limiting family size increases them all. How is that more healthy? Most of the US is just ignorant of what our bodies actually need, and basically ignorant of what large families are really like. I hope the show opens many eyes. Blessings!

Interesting comments abound. I'm just wondering.....looking into today's public/government education classrooms, what part of socialization do you really want your child learning.....Disrepect? Selfishness? Deceit? Cheating? Swearing? Bullying? Sex education in Pre-K? Tolerance? How to dress half naked?
What evidence do you see that this has produced upstanding, hard-working, solid, giving, contributing, patriotic citizens? Teens having/making babies, multiple generations of public assistant families ~ reproducing for bigger government checks.
Seems that the Pro-Choice/Tolerance folks are fine with you believing what you want....as long as you agree with them!
Perhaps it is the focus on building self esteem, finding yourself, & independent thinking that has cause our nation to go in the negative direction that it has; personal debt has never been higher, divorce rate has skyrocketed and the nucleus family has deteriorated....Socialization is learning to function in society while maintaining moral and personal standards, standing firm in the tide of 'the world' and not getting pulled down in the undertow.

I am glad they all seem to get along well but what would happen if someting happened to the parents in this family.
I also feel like the mother has no voice she even looks intimidated most of the time.
Why is it always the father doing all the preaching and yes I know there is a family head but why must it always be him.
The children are forced to wear what they make them give them a choice. Conservative clothing and new can't they ever have new clothes?
Let the older children see the world without the parents hovering all the time. If they feel they are that great of parents then they should feel secure that the children will act properly.
I have raised 4 children, they are respectful, trustworthy,kind to others but they have their own opinions not just mine.

They make me sick

I would LOVE to see the floor plan of their house. How many loads of laundry do they do a day? I have a rather small by their standards family and we can never have enough room to put just one pair of shoes per person. And you need good shoes, old playaround shoes, boots. where do they keep it all. What kind of games can that many kids play?? Didn't see a playground on thier land. How many kids to a room??

I suggest that all the negative comments be saved until u actually watch a season of their show so a more informed decision can be made. comments like living off other people, no social life for kids, family cult etc, are unfounded, or is just your way the right way?. let these children speak for their selfs. dont we condemn our politicians for doing the same, I believe the duggers have things well in hand and will do what is needed, dont be jelous be happy for them how many of us can even get past two children without failing as parents i say god bless the duggers.

Are you friggin kidding me? I can't think of anything more irresponsible than to add those kind of numbers to this already overpopulated planet. Maybe everybody should have 19 kids, then in a couple generations there wouldn't be anywhere on earth to stand. Her husband should try using his other head!!!

Who are all of you to judge on what anyone outside your own family does? Wake up and look at reality. We are all different. Some families can't handle one child. This family can handle eighteen. Get over it and enjoy the diversity!

I can think of loads of things more irresponsible! People making comments need to think before they type!

I love their morals and how loving they all seem and i dig the way they run their house hold. It's so clean and organized they put the little people show to shame!! The Duggars have far more people and their house is waaaay cleaner. The only thing that bothers is me that is that the older siblings get stuck taking care of the younger ones, she spread um she should be the one taking care of them.

I think they have a great family and if they can raise so many children with all that love....MORE POWER TO THEM!!!

Hopefully everyone will get full scholarships to college :P

Eh, nothing new with her being pregnant again. My mom's mom had 20!

You learn how to adapt and how to get by w/o the things in life we all take for granted.

These people get over $60,000 a year from the government and don't pay any taxes.

I am just curious about this television show. At one time when I was watching one of the early episodes, there was a comment made that they have no television, video games, etc. I think they were playing kickball (which is fine). I just find it rather hypocritical that they do not believe in TV but now are getting their own show. Don't get me wrong, I know children today watch too much TV but I was wondering if they changed their attitude about such things.
