Done the rounds before, if memory serves, though possibly with a new addition. They're a member of a religious group called the quiverfuls or something like that - the results are a number of children like a quiver full of arrows. One fairly unkind 'despair' type poster has a picture of them saying, "Vagina, it's not a clown car."

Ah, yes, I saw these folks wandering town a few times while I was living in Little Rock (I'm not sure what they were doing that far away from home, but they were, so. And granted, they were only at about 15 or something like that at the time...) I always thought they were some sort of school group or something, then they start showing up on TV and I'm like "Holy crap, those kids all belong to those two."
They're nice people, but there's just something creepy about them..."Maybe the problem just went away...maybe it was the magical sniper fairy that comes and gives silenced hollow point rounds to people who don't eat their vegetables."

That's them.Quoth Part-Time Parrothead View PostAre those the ones that named everyone starting with the letter J? Or is that another huge family?
"The children — all with names beginning with “J” — range in age from 19-year-old Joshua to Jennifer. In between are nine more boys and six girls: John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger (pronounced Ginger), Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson and Johannah."
I love daddy's name too: Jim Bob Duggar.

How the hell do they do it?!!! I can't imagine what the wife went through with so many pregnancies and births with their children, much less how they're able to afford providing for their children.....

I've caught a lot of their stories on Discovery and for me it's quite fascinating. Yes I know they probably have their own problems but to watch them do everyday things like cooking, cleaning, even going on vacation was amazing. I mean seriously, they all know their roles and get to it. I'd probably be crying in the corner!
LOL And I gotta say if I were still in the restaurant industry, I'd take them over most of the kids I know now! Though I do admit to wanting to hold down the mom and give her a makeover. *ducks*

As to how they afford it, Mr. Duggar owns like, a ton of businesses and stuff around up there and they have no debt. I'm not sure they have credit cards or anything like that. And they own their land and for the most part, built the house they're living in now by themselves. Basically they only pay for groceries and utilities, which, I'm sure is quite a bit, but it's not the same as having credit card payments, mortgages, etc."Maybe the problem just went away...maybe it was the magical sniper fairy that comes and gives silenced hollow point rounds to people who don't eat their vegetables."
