I have seen a few of their shows and I have to say these are the kind of people who should have many children. They are all well mannered and responsible. They don't drain the welfare system. They pay cash for everything and they home-school. This country needs more of these people.

I'm no eco-freak, but even I am shocked that these people are being celebrated considering the environmental impact they are having. They say they've used 90,000+ diapers on their effing kids, need an industrial-type kitchen to feed them, and 4 washers and 4 dryers for their clothes. Who knows what their utility bill looks like.

Just because you can afford to have 38 kids, doesn't mean you should be allowed to. What if they could afford to park a tanker truck full of oil on their front lawn and set that on fire, should that be allowed too? It'd probably have a similar environmental impact, only in a much shorter span of time.

I watched their documentary and I was appalled. The house they lived in before had not enough room so they built they're new house. I think I remember they were able to build it because everyone in their church helped. ie with money or building.

The kids are just odd. They're little kids but act like adults. They are really really religious. A huge part of the documentary was how God helped them with practically everything in their life.

She should really get her tubes tied. There's no way that the government isn't helping them.

Well, you could always move to China if you prefer a government that tells you whether you are allowed to have a certain number of kids or not.

I mean if you are worried about environmental impact, take it one step further and only allow medical care to those 65 years of age and younger. Why have all these old folks draining the system and having medicines keeping them alive longer than they are supposed to be living. Look at the environmental impact of all those adult diapers. Those suckers are 10 times the size of one kid diaper.

Seriously though, if they can afford to have that many kids and they are not draining their state in welfare or other handouts, then more power to them.

I heard about the Duggars years before they were on TV (in fact, I didn't know they were on TV at all until I read this). They're part of an activist movement known as "Full Quiver," whose members see as their moral obligation bringing as many Christians into the population as possible.

Question - what happens with large families when one or both parents are unable to care for the kids? Sure, those parents (not just this family, but other large families) can afford to support the entire household, but what if?

I would imagine they would then be taken care of by next of kin. If not, they would be placed in foster care.

They can have 50 kids for all I care,as long as they can support them

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Duggar on the newest addition (Jennifer Danielle) to your wonderful family. May God continue to bless you mightily!

Woohoo, let's support attention whores and their willingness to continue to have a ridiculous number of children. If people would realize that the real impact to global warming is the number of people, which in turn increases the use of resources (such as oil and coal) they would realize there is no need for this type of excessive child bearing.

Sorry I don't understand why these people are on tv and why anyone would support this type of lifestyle. Regardless if they are currently able to support all the children on their own.

My husband and I only have six children at present. I can only dream of having so large a family and becoming that organized. How lucky they are!

I hope this family gets to read these. They should be ashamed of themselves. They are only doing all the television shows for money. And if you watch the program the kids take care of the younger kids. Nice house they used their children to buy?
