my great aunt had 12 kids in 13 years.

Stop stay-at-home moms! They're destroying society!

Happy Mother's Day: Woman pregnant with 18th child

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — It's a happy Mother's Day for an Arkansas woman — she's pregnant with her 18th child.

Michelle Duggar, 41, is due on New Year's Day, and the latest addition will join seven sisters and 10 brothers. There are two sets of twins.


"We've had three in January, three in December. Those two months are a busy time for us," she said, laughing.

The Duggars' oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months old.

The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.

Duggar has been been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.

The new show looks at life inside the Duggar home, where chores — or "jurisdictions" — are assigned to each child. One episode of the new show involves a "jurisdiction swap," where the boys do chores traditionally assigned to the girls, and vice versa, Duggar said.

"The girls swapped jurisdictions, changing tires, working in the garages, mowing the grass," she said. "The boys got to cook supper from start to finish, clean the bathrooms," among other chores.

Duggar said she's six weeks along and the pregnancy is going well. She and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar, said they'll keep having children as long as God wills it.

"The success in a family is first off, a love for God, and secondly, treating each other like you want to be treated," Jim Bob Duggar said. "Our goal is for each one of our children to be best friends, and everybody working together to serve each other makes that happen."

The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jennifer, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 16; Jessa, 15; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 7; James, 6; Justin, 5; Jackson, 3; and Johannah, 2.

brilliant! How creepy is it that they're all dressed the same & all the girls (except 1) & the mom have their hair styled the same way w/ the cascade over the shoulder

I know it's judgmental & it's no fault of the children what they've been born into, but I think the parents are total freaks

18 kids was pretty normal back in the old timey days, wasn't it?

No...God wants her to shut her legs and stop confusing her uterus with a clown car.

Gawd, I bet they just fall the fuck outta her @ this point

she probably has no pain and she'll stop when menopause hits. She probably takes care of all the children.

Are you serious?


The older kids are like little "parents". No way can one woman care for 17 (almost 18) kids. There is a program, a "reality" show if you will, about them and their life. She relies very heavily on the help of the older kids. Even the tiny ones have chores.

You're right, they do. I've seen the show on TV, and all the kids are responsible for doing different things around the house. The older kids are even "assigned" a younger kid that they look after. Makes me wonder why they keep having kids, if they have so many that they can't give the kids they have the proper attention.

I agree 100%. Of course, it's her clown car. She can do what she wants with it I guess.
