Duggar kid #18!??...

That is a whole lot of kids. I don't know what I would do with that many kids...go nuts probably.
That's kinda funny when you think about it. Seems like they really like the fame involved, which is somewhat sad, but acceptable (no harm done...yet).
I can even handle the fact that every child's name starts with J (again, no big deal), but letting the internet decide the name seems rather "detached" and "impersonal". I hope they don't turn this baby's upbringing into a "vote" on the web.
I hope they love all of their children (like we all here love ours), equally and unconditionally...I hope the media will go easy on them, (though they seem to want the attention).

Don't they blanket train? I'm also not thrilled about the older kids essentially playing "parent" because one mother can't take care of 18 freaking kids by herself.
I'm still trying to figure out how they do it financially.. I read somewhere they are debt free too!
They are debt free. I have no idea what they do to make enough money to build that house and pay for that many people and not be bankrupt.
Me thinks they are sucking the government for all it's worth.Cthru said:
Major tax deductions as well.
Not to metion the money they are getting from media interviews.
ya, they get paid for that...don't kid yourself.
I will bet money, that they have an Agent (or Manager)
The father used to be a senator or something in the political field. Don't they get paid or something like that for life? I forget how that works. They built their own house. I'm sure lots of people give them money somehow.
Surprisingly all the kids seemed well behaved and she talks so calm. WTH is that?

I have mixed feelings on this family...I would like to know how they afford all the kids and the huge beautiful house they live in. All they children are clean, happy, and healthy...but that blanket training thing really creeps me, maybe it isn't as bad as it sounds though...IDK I want to say to each their own but something in me wonders what life is really like for them when the camera's are off
They built the house themselves...I think TLC may have donated some of the materials. Both parents have real estate licenses, and Dad used to be in the state legislator, and possibly in Congress. They garden, they make most of their clothes...they are very frugal.
Ok, so I had to google blanket training... what the heck???
<I>They also practice blanket training. Know what that is? It means placing a baby on a blanket and then hitting all around the edge of the blanket with a wooden spoon or a stick as a threat to the baby not to get off the blanket. If the baby tries to crawl off, and it does, baby gets a couple whacks (usually on the back of the legs). </I>
<I>Once baby is "trained", then Mom can leave it there while she talks with others.</I>

Yeah... I think this sentence is quite telling.
Once baby is "trained", then Mom can leave <U>it</U> there while she talks with others.
