What's weirder than having 19 children? How about the 19th child being younger than your first grandchild?
Baby Jordyn-Grace (Mamarazzi frowns upon clever spellings) is 8 months old so it was time for Michelle Duggar's super-uterus to get back to work. It's like the best uterus ever created... it's the fucking Olympic Gold Champion of uteruses.
We are duly impressed.
However, Mamarazzi doesn't quite know what to think of the Mrs. and Jim Bob Duggar... they always appear to be blissful to the point of Valium abuse... they've got that "Buddy System" and strive to "keep the spark"... their house is also their Church so they don't have to pay taxes and the kids are all rather attractive and friendly... it seems pretty delightful around their House of Many, but is it?
What do you think? Aside from the obvious freak factor of 19 kids, and the very real question of how do you meet the individual needs of that many different personalities, is it possible this is just a lovely, giant but lovely, family?

Hi, my favorite bloggers!
I, too, frown on clever spellings. But what made my little ears prick up was the concept of the house as church. No taxes? How do I do this? I feel religious fervor rising within me.

Remember when we thought the Gosselyn family was happy? Remember all their strong religious church ties? I'm just saying....
I've got to go research this church thing. That's just wrong.
What blows my mind is that, after all these pregnancies, they were surprised by this one. And that the daughters were suspicious before the parents were.
I'm not even going to get started on how their house is their church so they don't have to pay taxes. That's just cheating.
Yep, they belong "Our Lady of Perpetual Fecundity."
With the exception of the squalling infant (and may I say that made me inordinately happy), they all seemed ridiculously blissful. Any other kids in America would be squirming in mortification.
How is it possible that they don't have any kids with disabilities?
I can't remember my sign in info, but this is Jodi. Anyway, I think it's just freaky. And that is just toooooooo many kids. And I don't buy the happy blissful c-r-a-p either. Nope, not one bit.
If they are dead set on having a huge family, for whatever reason, the morally responsible thing would be to adopt. In my humble opinion! :)
Best.
Title.
EVER.

I have just always assumed there was some massive sedative use going on behind the scenes in that house. Mom is just wayyyy too calm. And the house as the church thing? Total crap.
All of the people that follow their particular flavour of Fundamentalism are that blissful. It's the brainwashing that does it.
The women are taught from the cradle that they are only good for homemaking and birthin' babies. They still vow to OBEY their husbands in the wedding ceremony.
If you didn't have to make any decisions for yourself and just blindly followed their strict doctrine without question, you'd be blissful too.
Brainwashing. It works better than Prozac.
Everybody sing! ..."Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate..."
Anyone else imagining that woman's uterus looking like a clown car?
Ellen, too, frowns upon clever spellings. And besides "Jordyn-Grace" and "Jinger," their soon-to-be grandchild will be called "Mackynzie." Welcome, little one, to a lifetime of spell-checking your name.
LMAO I TOTALLY read "Jinger" not as Ginger but as in rhyming with "ring"... sheesh.
