love, love, love this.

This couple may think that having twenty kids is really great but let’s face it, her grandchildren are older than this one will be! Her uterus has been through five c-sections??? Seriously not a good idea to keep going. I guess her health is nothing compared to being the last woman in an educated culture to want 20 children. Does anyone really buy the fact that her kids are all happy with this? Do they not feel that they are one in a crowd, how much ” time” do you get with your parents if you’re , lets say, number 14?? Just not buying it!

It had to be said! Good for you for saying what we are all really thinking. Thank you…and, more importantly, Michelle’s uterus thanks you!

i feel sorry for her vagina! she birth 14 babies!! talk about hotdog in a hallway! LOL

Her uterus gave it’s notice with the last baby that was born severely premature. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I think that what the female body can do is amazing and beautiful and that she can do this 20 times is just…….. who am I kidding!? This lady is uber cray cray.

That creepy husband of hers is probably hoping this next one will kill her. Then he can go find a chick half his age who is likewise brainwashed with religion, and start proving his manliness again, by having twenty more.

I wonder if she can skip without peeing because I can’t and I’ve only had one kid.

While I certainly am not a fan of having lots and lots of kids (I stopped at 2, boy and girl) and am totally happy with that situation. But hey, it’s her body, and her life. While it is certainly something that belongs in the Guiness Book of World Records, I don’t think any of us should be worrying about her uterus, or anything else that is her business. Personally, I thought the article was a bit stupid. I am come on, if we have to resort to personifying a uterus or vagina, that’s pretty pathetic.

And also, to insult her vagina is annoying too. Vaginas are physiologically designed to give birth then shrink back. The peri area gets stretched out once, then it’s good to go. I’m sure her vag is just fine.

this is HILARIOUS! but can we just PLEASE let this woman have whatever amount of children she wants in PEACE?? I do admit that I’m surprised at how she’s so willing to have another baby after her last high-risk pregnancy, but shouldn’t you be a bit more concerned about some crack-head woman having a kid??

Let her worry about her… Before you decide to point the finger at someone else, remember there are 3 pointing back at you… you do things that I am sure she doesn’t agree with at all but she probably wouldn’t sit there and say that you are ridiculous for doing it.

seriously michelle duggar is crazy. I mean 20 kids and shes 45. Thats not safe. Im about due with my 3rd and im almost 30 yrs old. Im done after this baby. I couldnt imagine having 17 more. It is extremely irresponsible.

Thanks for the laugh. When I heard the news, I thought OMG-you have to be kidding. 20 kids??? Yes, I understand she has her convictions, but little Josie almost died. Yes, I watch this show like I did the Gosselins because I have no life. I think I would close up the shop when health issues pop up. I’m 48 and the shop wants to close up and it’s making darn sure I know it. Still would love to have another baby, but nature has other plans. Have one healthy almost 11 yr. old healthy boy by the grace of the same God is enough for my poor body. He was almost 10 lbs., 2 weeks past due, and I had every medical intervention during delivery but a crowbar(!) but let’s show some common sense here people. Even women in the Bible had some help(Sarah, Elizabeth, and Mary) to have babies and I hope this one is healthy and it!!!!

I love how so many people are trying to defend her. This makes me laugh. No, it doesn’t matter what a person does with their own body and their own life..as long as it does not EFFECT those around them. She is screwing the world up even more. We have an overpopulation problem as it is. China did the right thing in the way they do population control. The world is in a horrible state right now, BECAUSE of overpopulation. She is just helping that. She is being horribly selfish.She is too old to be having anymore kids, and obviously her uterus has had enough. This poor child that she is pregnant with now, may very well be born with a lot of birth defects, or not be born at all. If not this baby then another one. She can use the whole “This is God’s plan” excuse all she wants, but sooner or later she is going to have to pay for her stupidity.

This article is rude, and so are all of you! This woman TREASURES life in a day and age when people are killing babies left and right!! How DARE you speak to her that way!

This family is SELF SUPPORTIVE! ALL of the children pitch in, they are all respectful, good children … are YOUR kids that way???

At least they aren’t government dependent. At least their children are LOVED and CARED FOR and aren’t sitting in some foster home somewhere waiting for a decent life.

SHUT UP! If you’re so great, why don’t you go get your OWN reality tv show….

OH WAIT! It’s because there’s nothing extraordinary about you.

Go figure!

I personally think that she should be applauded! How many of you could have 19 kids, 2 grand babies, and a new baby on the way and take care of them all without having to rely on the government! Im going to say probably none of you! Those children are blessings!!! Have any of you stopped to think that God has blessed her in a way that nobody else could understand! Stop being nosey and passing judgement on something that you don’t understand!!!!

God forbid I have 20 kids, but do we really get to call ourselves pro-choice if we tear her down for making her own reproductive choices?

“the world works in mysterious ways” is all I can say right now. I’ve been trying for two years to have a child, but someone 15 years older than me is having her 20 th?!? What the..?! My philosophy is that anyone who wishes for a child should have one. I wish her a healthy and safe pregnancy, and that baby will be loved. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I get it, but in the end, their children are educated, taken care of, and loved by eachother. Good luck to them…

To each their own. My concern is, what happens if this next one kills her? What about the feelings of the other nineteen kids?? What about their well being?? The “adults” in the situation just aren’t thinking clearly :(

Any one of us could be killed during any of our pregnancies. If her pregnancies are healthy, why would you presume the next would kill her? Is that how we should live our lives? Worrying about if something will kill us?

I think that we still live in America and to each his own. Can you not see how well God has blessed them? They sustain themselves and do quite well at it as well as instill morals and values in their children to become model citizens with compassion. Unlike all the inmature judgemental comments that are posted here. No twenty babies aren’t for everyone that’s why others don’t have them. But as for this family let them be, they are self sustaining, loving, kind, and do a good job at paying attention to one another as well as supporting and encouraging a way to live a full life. Leave them be it’s a free country still founded upon God even though people keep trying to kick Him out of His creation. He is the one whoo told us to be fruitful and multiply obviously for a good reason.

Wow! REading through these comments has been almost more entertaining than the JOKE letter from Michelle Dugger’s uterus. That’s what this article was for entertainment. And correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that why we all know who the hell the Duggars are in the first place? Their ridiculously huge family? It’s sad to see all of you hating on one another over this. She’s put herself in the limelight, and should expect to have snarky and funny things written about her on the internet. And all of you who are singing her praises and judging everyone else for enjoying a giggle or 2 need to remember that you are doing exactly what you are attacking the other commenters about, judging. If you really didn’t like the “letter” you should’ve just closed the page.

Dawn Babbcock, Madam, do go back to school and learn about obstetrics before spouting off. It is a fact that Michelle’s pregnancy is high risk and high risk for a multitude of reasons:
She is 45 yrs. old, age alone sets her at risk for hypertension, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, early birth, low birth weight, placental abruption, and placental insufficiency. Older women are especially at risk for placental abruptions, which can lead to hemorrhage and still-birth. These risks are significant and worth noting, not pushing aside like they don’t exist. Add to these her multiple c-sections that put her at great risk for what I am sure is an incredibly thin uterus already and prone to rupture along the previous incisions.
- She also has osteoporosis from having so many kids which depleted her body of its’ vital calcium. 45 and already advanced stage of osteoporosis. Sounds like consequences to me.
And what the heck do you know about vaginal elasticity anyway? Why do you think thousands of women go through painful “realigning” surgeries every day due to the damaging effects of child bearing? The tissues do not “bounce back” to where they once were. What a ridiculous statement.

Personally, I think it is sad that she is doing this yet again…can only imagine how scared her kids are of actually losing her this time along with potentially losing a sibling. I can’t believe she would risk having another child be born early and watch it struggle to survive. For shame and it is sad that what she is doing has become spectator sport. Michelle, think about the kids you have now and not making them grow up without a mother — I hope that is not the case and that she goes into menopause before the next one.

I give them a lot of credit. I thought having 3 children was hard to do, but I would love to hear from a medical doctor 20 kids is extreme. I know that after a certain amount of children there is a huge risk of bleeding. What does the medical community think health wise. Let’s hear from an ob/gyn.

Think of the deal they are probably getting on their medical insurance. Their family plan will have 22 people on it. A bargain for them; a nightmare for their insurer.

What’s creepy is the way their kids are like clones. Not a bit of individuality displayed by any of them. Nineteen kids and not one seeking even a different haircut – never mind a different view of the world.

PattyG, how is it treasuring life when her last one was so premature? Clearly her uterus is not holding up any more. Time to stop before a baby or she actually dies. She doesn’t treasure life, she collects them like beanie babies.

I am the 2nd of 8 children — no where near as many as the Duggar’s, but still quite a large family by today’s standards. And as a casual viewer of the program (as in, I have absorbed bits and pieces of information about their life through pop culture, but like most of us have never met this woman and therefore realize that I am totally NOT qualified to make judgements about her life … but here I go anyway because, why not) I think it seems like this is a loving, happy family. Yes, some of their ideas and practices are strange to me, but their children appear to be honestly happy. Being an older sibling helping with the care of younger siblings is not always a huge burden, particularly when the parents are both present, loving and supportive. These kids don’t know any different, and it doesn’t seem that they are suffering for it. I understand there are issues with overpopulation, but honestly large families are way more effecient than 10 individual families with 2 kids each. Also, being pro-choice, I think it’s awesome that this woman gets to make decisions about her own uterus! I wouldn’t want everyone judging me for the choices I make about my own body, and I think it goes both ways. Some of the comments here just seem mean spirited.

I am currently in the hospital for preeclamsia. I’ve been here for over a month, and have at least twenty-six more days before they induce me at thirty-seven weeks. I am thirty-six and this is my first child.

And it will be the only one I have “naturally.”

My husband and I feel it is irresponsible to the child we will have to have another. Why risk leaving her without a mother? Why risk the life of a potential child?

If I can make this decision, with only one child who I’ve waited years to have, it should be easy for someone who already has nineteen to prioritize their lives.

Maybe mother nature, (or God or whoever controls the world) feels that this family needs to keep having their polite well behaved, kind hearted children, who are and will become valuable contributors to society to balance out all the a#$ holes who are having children that shouldn’t be. It is politically incorrect to call a women on welfare on the carpet because she continues to have kids so her monthly check increases yet the Duggers are in the wrong? Something tells me we won’t see an E True Hollywood Story about Dugger children going off the deep end, selling drugs or becoming 16 and Pregnant.

I say good for them!! Does is affect you? No! They completely support their family with no assistance from the government. How dare anyone judge them! God bless them!

I am an M.D. and if she were my patient I would be extremely nervous for her health and the health of the baby. I would also want to help her find some method of contraception that would be acceptable and in accordance with their faith.
I have seen the Duggars on TV and they seem like a lovely family. Some people are not suited to have any children at all, but the Duggars seem to me to be exceptional parents.
Let’s stop trashing the Duggars, and just wish her a healthy and safe pregnancy.

You people seem to forget…. God is the one deciding whether or not she has more kids, according to them…. THEY obviously skipped the part in the bible when we find out the greatest gift HE gave us (next to children and life) ……. FREE WILL aka CHOICE not to mention the man that invented birth control. It’s her choice and obviously “HER GOD” gives less of a care about her body and life than she does.

*DEAD* Thanks for such a funny article!

Your “letter” demonstrates complete intolerance, hate, and rudeness. If I were you, I would blush and cringe to think I had written such terrible, unkind things about anyone, and especially Michelle Duggar who has not harmed you in any way.

I’ve never met Michelle, but I respect her. She is doing far more to impact the world for good than your sad drivel. She is a kind, patient, sweet lady. She demonstrates good manners and love. She is a great example to all of us of what true womanhood looks like. She is a mother of many, and I can’t think of any greater achievement.

You can write your little pieces. You can get your laughs and your acclaim at someone else’s expense. But in doing so, you have lowered yourself in front of the world, and anyone worth impressing is not impressed.

I also love the population comments . . . would you prefer a govt cap on how many children we have so we can be more communist like China? Or how bout you go tell Muslims in the middle east to stop having so many kids cause they are going to strain the planet? (see how well that goes for you) The majority of americans are only having one or two children – they arent even having enough kids to replace themselves. I highly doubt the Duggar’s having 20 kids is really going to add much to the population “problem.” Oh and maybe if we just stopped assuming that we are obligated to have the American Dream lifestyle that constantly consumes we could sustain more people on this planet . . . but as it is, its the over consuming americans that are depleting all the resources. The Duggar’s live very frugally – their footprint is probably equal or less than that of a family of 4. But you all can come up with every reason in the book why someone else shouldn’t have more children – have at it.

This is BRILLIANT. Brilliant, brilliant, F****** BRILLIANT!

Meg~ Did we read the same “letter”?

Funny article, but I’d say her uterus is probably in better shape than many just from exercise. I did enjoy your creativity!

Some people here say the Duggar kids look happy. According to others who know the home schooling and child training materials they use, people from that system force their children to look happy, at the cost of punishing them when they do not. : http://nolongerquivering.com/2011/11/10/but-they-look-so-happy/

I find Sweetdee’s comment interesting: “Every kid over the age of ten seems sad until the camera is pointed directly at them, at which point thet smile robotically. ”

As for the comments that they are educated: Most people from ATI (their world view) don’t educate daughters to be capable of leaving the home unmarried if they so wish, or to get a job outside the home.

I don’t care how stretched her uterus is. I ask wether her children are allowed choices. Choices about who to marry, where to live, or even to express their bad mood.

Funny how we criticize women who purposely hurt their unborn babies with alcohol and drugs but people will defend a woman who is taking a huge risk not only with her life but her baby’s health both mentally and physically. It is highly probable that this child have issues…Who pays for the months in hospital for baby and mom? Who pays for all of the specialists? Who pays for the medications and surgeries and possibly a lifetime of special care and supports for this child, and any additional children she may decide to have? In my opinion, this is no worse then the people who abuse all other social systems. Pretty sure her last pregnancy and baby were a big sign!…a HUGE-A$$ stop sign!!!!! Poor child/children. Too bad she has the ability to reproduce!

The author of this ‘story’ is icky to criticize a woman for having (and feeding without being on welfare) as many children as she conceives. There is nothing funny about Ms. Taylor’s cruel remarks. Sounds like she is taking classes at the Bill Maher School of despicableness. What a sorry woman.

So many jealous women here, they have 1 or 2 spoiled brat kids and Michelle Duggar has 19 well behaved and happy kids.

I’ve seen PEZ dispensers spit out less than she does. They’re in it for the fame and $$. What a shame. Those poor children having to raise their siblings because Mom’s always knocked up. She didn’t learn her lesson with the last one either.

Hey God – should Michelle have more kidz? Please let us know. Maybe you cud send Jesus back and he cud tell us, OK?

It is nobody’s business if Michelle and JimBob want to have 100 kids. It is up to the lord. If her ovaries and uterus were so tired, they wouldn’t have released an egg and she would not have gotten pregnant. I admire the job they are doing raising their children as well as teaching the importance of keeping the Lord in their lives. Leave this amazing lady alone and mind your own business!! At least they are doing this on their own without help from anyone. I wish I could have had more.

They close puppy mills where I live.

To all the cynical people out there read what you wrote. Shame on you for using the public for your own points of view .Whether or not this is 2 or 20th makes no right for you to spill your bad taste of words to a family who may have a belief stronger than you would not believe. As the choose there last pregnancy makes it just that, It will be gods will whether or not this baby will be born , Not the words you choose to express. Just be happy for them and give all the prayer and support. And now for the person who commented on the Social Security. They will have to pay into that as well , They have to pay taxes as well. I do not see you supporting this family, The only thing I see is how you watch the program and complain.. Now that to me means one thing Thank You for enjoying the program.. Baby 20 come out and see this world as you were meant to be this Rare Jewel…

It is both saddening and ironic that the same people who would defend to the death a woman’s right to kill her child would be so vitriolic when a woman has what they consider “too many children.” It seems that freedom of “choice” only extends one direction- the choice of death. The pretense of concern for Mrs. Duggar’s health is only masking a hatred for her, her family, and the God whom they serve. The people of the sort who wrote this article hate anyone and anything which stands as a testimony to the truth of God. The very fact that the Duggars are a happy and loving family is utterly galling to this sort of people. People like the Duggars who follow God’s will are going to be hated regardless, but especially when there are no “dirty secrets” to be found about them. The Duggars simply give secularists an outlet for their hatred of God.

Wow! Some of these comments are a little hostile when this article simply makes light of Mrs. Duggar and her many kids. At the end of the day I don’t think anyone is loosing sleep over how many kids she has and/or wants. This family has chosen to be in the public eye so of course they are going to be judged good and bad, right and wrong.

I think she’s crazy to continue reproducing; they’re really spreading themselves thin and toying with odds of having a healthy birth. She should’ve been stopped and enjoyed her future grand children. And growing up this way, no wonder the older children are helping out, they think this is normal. Really she is being a little selfish to continue having kids after a certain point it’s not just about new baby.

I saw a link to this article on the Pentacle Project’s facebook page, and I’ll tell you what I told them…

“As a page who claims to have the intent on standing up for the rights of others, you should be ashamed of posting such a rude, judgmental, and narrow minded article which pokes fun and the rights of another person! All this “article” does is mock another human being… one who isn’t hurting anyone.

The Duggar family doesn’t intentionally get pregnant, in case you were unaware. As part of their religious practice and belief, they leave it up to their belief in God. Do you even know how they got to this point? What transpired, or why they made the decisions they did? After having their first son Michelle went BACK on the birth control pill. Not long after she got pregnant despite being on the pill, and she miscarried the baby. Feeling at fault for the death of their child, they made a commitment to each other and to their deity to leave the decision of children up to their God. They don’t attempt to get pregnant, and they don’t try not to. So whatever happens is just part of natural process as it occurs naturally and without human intervention.

How dare anyone mock such a profound spiritual commitment? How dare anyone mock their choices or beliefs? Rather than standing up for the rights of others, you promote material that makes fun of those very beliefs in a rude and unnecessary manner.”

I’ve read several of the comments on this page, and you know who is really disgusting? You know who really should be ashamed of themselves? The people making these comments. What rude, hateful comments there are here! How disgusting and vulgar! And so many of them are obviously speaking from utter ignorance on the subject as they make comments such as “How is it possible to keep that many kids in clean clothes? Let alone fed?” Gee, I don’t know…maybe we should refer to the thousand times she has answered this question for an answer? “Why does she always talk in that slow irritating whispery child voice?” That’s called being calm, gentle and collected. Maybe this is new to you?

Their children get to do more things than most children. They get more one-on-one time than most children. This family isn’t on welfare, they are self sustaining. they use good business practices, financial planning, thriftiness and common sense to provide for their family. They teach their children good values, and have well behaved and well mannered children. They have close family ties. Seriously? This is what we are AGAINST? No wonder this country is in such bad shape! The author of this article should be so lucky as to be able to boast all of this, so I suppose she only attempts to defile such a positive role model to hide how poorly she handle her own life. Why else would you tear down another human being so baselessly? Utterly disgusting.

the doctor told them to quit having kids 1 or 2 kids ago
i figure someday im gonna read that some part of her ruptured and shes either dead or in critical condition
all the while jim bob just keeps on smilin
i watched em when they all built that big house they live in it was unbleievable how those kids were just like worker bees

Michelle has had 17 pregnancies (prior to this one). She has had 15 healthy pregnancies, 9 before 35 and 6 after. Her second pregnancy with the twins resulted in pre e, and also her 17th (Josie). That’s 14 HEALTHY pregnancies in between! And the pre e with Josie was brought on by her gall bladder, which she has had REMOVED. She looks AMAZING! Her kids are gorgeous and are more worried about the world around them than they are consumed with themselves! The 2 older girls DO work outside of the house, FYI, as emergency medical responders!

The time the blogger spent on the mockery would have been better spent on her own family. At least what Michelle writes is usefull for parents! Some people have too much wastfull time on their hands!

Okay, you know, some of the posters on here really need to lighten up! It’s supposed to be humorous. But if you want to get down to the bare facts about the Duggars and their assembly line of children,here goes. To keep giving birth to baby after baby, especially when the last pregnancy almost ended in death, when there are so many wonderful children needing a safe and loving home, is sheer stupidity and selfishness! You want to have a bunch of kids Jim Bob and Michelle? Adopt!! My in-laws did,and raised a phenomenal man who became my husband!

There are not enough hours in the day for this woman to give each child the individualized time that they need. Not to mention the fact that babies are raising babies. Or exactly what other posters on here have said about the planet being overpopulated enough already and this woman is being ecologically irresponsible. Plus no where in my Bible does it say that birth-control is not allowed. I really do pray for this woman’s safety and only hope that she hasn’t passed this crazy-go-forth-and-multiply gene on to all of her 19 children. Plus what type of mother puts her children on television to be watched and gawked at like they are side-show freaks? They must not provide for their children too well because they shop at the Thrift Stores for most of their clothing… I don’t have anything against a good bargain but outfitting the whole family is somebody else’s leftover clothing because you have 19 kids doesn’t sound like good parents to me- it sounds like Religious Zealots who are on their way to making their own personalized little cult.

For all of you supporters of the Duggards, saying that it is their business and not anyone else’s, THINK AGAIN. When all of their children have multiple children, and the children’s children have multiple children, this couple will have personally added a burden to our natural resources (ie. water, etc.). This does effect everyone and therefore is everyones business regardless of whether THEY can afford their large family, because we CANNOT afford them. They will need an entire school just for their family alone. Their television show should be CANCELLED. We should not give selfish, stupid people the spotlight, making them think what they are doing is okay. GO AWAY DUGGARDS.

Ok I get the fact that their from the Quiverfull Religion. But 20 kids…. totally ridiculous. She should have quit @ 18 when they got their T.V. show…… but oh now more money to have more children. She’s not raising the children, nor are their CREEPY Father…. it’s the other children who are raising their siblings, not the parents. They admit that they assign children to the older ones to watch over.The children do the cooking & cleaning. They look for bargains @ Thrift Stores. She seems too Stepford wiveish & medicated to handle ALL these children. The last child was born pre-maturely & was in the hospital for months while the older children took care of one another as she cared for number 19. They get a T.V. show & their are people in America that are wondering if they can feed @ least the average 4 to 6 family size. Unbelievable in this day & age that Reality T.V. can make a star out of sheer stupidity!!!!! Once again we remind ourselves what’s went wrong with our ideals in this country. Obviously it makes GREAT REALITY T.V. Or better yet, the demise of our intelligence.

This was by far, the FUNNIEST thing I have read in ages!! Thanks for the laugh!

^^ Michele? is that you?

@ididitonpurpose:WHO are the Duggards??????? If you’re going to post a comment, at least get the family’s name spelled correctly. There is not the Duggards!

To everyone who keeps insisting that Michelle just pops the babies out and the older girls raise them… have you ever even seen the outakes of the show where she will have a few of the little ones, 1 or 2 of them on her lap, even while she’s pregnant and how patient she is with them even when they are just being kids, making noise and being distracting? SHE has them, and SHE is an incredible mom for having the patience she does. I think what happens when a person has a lot of kids is that they begin to realize they are not the controller of everything, you learn to let go and to allow everyone to become interdependent. She seems, more than most, to have learned to let go and let God. I will guess she has, in the past, prayed for patience, because when you pray for patience God will provide an outlet to practice and display your patience. I’d say she does a great job at it! I think people are jealous of her, really, and rather than admit it, just slander her and put her down to make themselves feel better about the lack of who they are. I can ADMIT that 8lm not quite as great of a mom as Michelle, and in doing so i’ve freed up my ego and look up to her! I pride myself on being a “gentle christian mother”, but I was not raised that way, and in watching Michelle with her kids I am encouraged!

@Jenn-I don’t think all of your information is accurate. Jill is attending college and studying to become a nurse, and very notable career! She’s also studying Spanish. The older boys and some of the older girls are volunteer firefighters/emts. That is a career, and one that saves lives just like a nurse does. I think you need to rexamine what you just wrote about this family, because your information is off!

I LOVE this. I think the uterus should just stage a walk out.

And the image of Michelle’s uterus friending Jen Aniston’s….HYSTERICAL!

As for the comment that they are not harming anyone with their huge family? Ummm, yeah they are–they are expanding the world’s population and putting an additional stress on the world’s resources. How an additional tax past the fifth child/fifth childbirth? If you really want those extra kids, you won’t mind. And five childbirths is enough time to figure out how that whole process works.

Also, I have always wondered just who is paying for all of those childbirths. Do you really think Jim Bob is paying for insurance for 20 people (the oldest one is married and gone, so that leaves 18 kids and Jim and Michelle)?

If you put your personal life on TV, you are opening yourself up to judgments.
I mean, Jon and Kate have 8 kids, but that was two childbirths. Jim and Michelle have always bragged they don’t have a tv in the bedroom…someone go buy them one tomorrow when they’re on sale!!!

Instead of worry about packing underwear and socks for a trip, Jim Bob should pack some condoms. Now their doing a tug of war in Scotland. Jim Bob says, “we’re going to pull for the underdog”. Hey Jim Bob, why don’t YOU just pull out.

Be encouraged Stefanie, you know what they say, opinions are like … everybody’s got one. As for those who lack a sense of humor, get over yourselves. All this holier than thou rhetoric being bandied about when in a Witches Cupboard is found lies and contemptuous behavior. Some people are Duggar junkies and have nothing more to do than “find” someone or something to be bitter about, while casting their own reflection off on others. I read, not long ago that a certain individual made comments because of being in an “ill mood.” Drama queens are infamous for liberal fibbing and gratuitous insults. They also never take responsibility for their temper tantrums which exposes their utter lack of maturity. That diaper has gone over to the dark side.

This was fabulous! People write about Octo-mom being insane because she’s a single woman with 10 children and no job. The folks who question Michelle Duggar’s sanity are correct… is she addicted to having babies? Does she need this for her identity? Has she ever not been pregnant for longer than a couple of years? But, because she is married and a church goer, some how it’s all sane?

Really?

How can you call them self-supporting when public funds pay for her deliveries and the ghastly expensive care Josie needed/needs??

I fully expect to hear it on the news the day their pastor gets up in church and says there’s no money for the church’s new roof, cause the Duggars need another all-expense paid trip somewhere, for them and their cameramen……..

“Sorry, Michelle, I think Jinger with a J is cheating.” LOL! Very entertaining reading :)

I feel sorry for the other children. As soon as one is born it is the responsibility of the older ones to take care of it. There seems like there is no closeness with any of the children from the parents The children do the cleaning, cooking, washing, etc. so that is why the Duggers have time for sex. But what about the last one? Josie. She is 2 years old, not walking, not talking and has signs of retardation.
So many problems with her. Shouldn’t that be a sign to quit? All the other children do not have a normal childhood and probably could not function in society with home schooling, strict rules, protected all the time. Too protected.
But with the money from the shows, I guess they can live alone comfortably the rest of their lives. And it’s starting with the oldest that got married.

VAGINA: It’s NOT a clown car.

Hummm, I see that just below your “ADD A COMMENT” Button it says “Note: Babble is a supportive, diverse community. We encourage a range of opinions,
but any unduly hostile comments will be removed.”. Well then maybe Ms.Stefanie Wilder Taylor, you should remove this entire blog post. Even though it is a post and not a comment it is not supportive of the Duggars or anyone else. By posting such rude, hateful things it has encouraged a lynch mob type of reaction from some very rude and mean people. Is this really how you want your readers to view you? As a wretched witch who could possible have issues of her own, that cause you to be so insecure that you feel the need to lash out on someone that you don’t even know? ………………..I don’t care if it is their 1st child or their 45th child, It is their child just the same. all children that are lost are missed and it hurts just the same no matter how many you have!
………………. Think before you hit a “post or submit button” Thank you!

Wow. This really tops my list of the most insensitive things ever written. Mrs. Duggar just lost a child. Seriously, please look deeper inside yourself. I don’t believe any human being on this blog (both author and commenters) are truly as insensitive and callous as their off-hand comments.

I now see that this is actually in response to her having a miscarriage. You should be utterly, utterly ashamed of yourselves, not only for the pain you have caused her if she reads this but the pain you have caused many, many other parents who have lost children. I have no words for how much you disgust me.

Dear Catherine Connors,

You should be ashamed of yourself for keeping this up here. It looks poorly on your site and on yourself. Especially for being a site FOR mothers- to have a write post something so mean and hateful against a mother- your specific audience. You need to learn some character and better judgment. I will no longer be a part of your following. Every child is a miracle, your authors have NO place to judge or mock that. Shame on you.

And obviously to publish it at all in the first place.

I cannot believe that Babble would allow this kind of post! What is wrong with you, Ms Taylor? Do you have nothing better to blog about then another womans uterus? Not only are you sick but so is this web site for allowing you and your co workers to blog such horrible things and leave them up after this woman lost her baby! I read the TOS. You violate several of the rules. I will certainly be spreading the word about a boycott for this web site!

Usually im a person that leaves her opinions to herself, but i just wanted to say that i believe the Duggar family is a great example of what a family should be. They are the only Godly family on tv and should not be judged the way all you guys are doing so. Unlike, Disney Channel shows, and other stupid reality tv shows, this one actually displays a real family. Who is to say that it is all up to the Duggars how many kids they have. I believe God has control over life (and even on birth control God can give someone a child). And the fact that some said it was not responsable to have this many children, If God can provide for one child, then God can provide for 20. God is all powerful and He knows what our bodies can make (since He made them). The Duggar family show is one of the only wholesome shows on tv that i would ever let my children watch (besides like “bubble guppys for somthing). It’s the only show that actually shares good morals and talks about God. I believe it takes great faith and trust in God to have a child, to know that somehow (even if each child cant have a plasma 32inch flat screen in their rooms, a smart phone, and a car of their own) God will provide for the family. with that said, i believe the Duggars have great faith and the rest of the world should model their families after the Duggars. In Bible times, women had 20 kids all the time. Now, im not saying that every family should have 20 kids, but since the Duggars are Christian and follow Jesus Christ, i believe it is awesome they have so many kids because they are sharing Christ with all those kids, who in turn with share with others. So, instead of bashing them and saying they are having to many kids, we should pray for them.

And btw, for all the church women on here offended by the uterus remarks, or faux outrage for Jennifer Aniston,….a big razzie for you. I don’t buy it. I don’t have children like Jen either, because my uterus and ovaries revolted and they had to take out the parts. It was either that or die. (I choose life, thank you). But I’m not all offended by the article. It’s funny, and true. In a couple months it will STILL be true because Michelle is a trooper, she’s in this to win the most exhausted uterus award. She’ll be pregnant again, soon enough. The finish line is menopause.

Babble has to decide if it is a site that supports making fun of others (AKA: bullying) or not. Based on some of Babble’s bloggers and their posts (especially one of Ms. Conner’s recent posts), I assumed that bullying wasn’t supported by Babble. I see that I was wrong.

Thank you, Stefanie! I think you made an excellent decision and I respect you for being able to admit how the post comes across after the miscarriage. Good on you. I’ve been a fan of yours for YEARS (since I bought your first book) and I love your humor. Very relieved that you removed this post. Thank you.

I am really glad you took this down AND that it was written before hand. I found this link on the Huff Post and was appalled! I am SO glad I clicked over to find it was not in response to the miscarriage

Laura, Meredith and others,

As I noted above, this post was not a response to miscarriage, it was a response to the phenomenon of extreme pregnancy (again, a phenomenon that the Duggars have made their celebrity on; they not only make public, but profit from the attention to their reproductive and childrearing choices, so public discussion of these choices is not, we believe, inappropriate.) And as I also noted above, Stefanie offered to take it down, and we told her that she needn’t feel obligated to do so. We support our writers’ freedom around their own content, so it was entirely up to Stefanie.

Stefanie did however, in the end, decide to remove the post, and we support that choice.

And so far as I know, no comments have been removed – as you can see, there are plenty of dissenting and even antagonistic opinions in this thread. It may be that any comments are stuck in the moderation folder. That said, we support our writers removing any comments that they believe are hostile or off-topic, so if Stefanie made that call on any comments, please understand that she is entitled to do so.

Catherine,
Director of Community
