Subjects of Cable Documentary Awaiting Baby Number 16
A former Arkansas state representative appears determined to produce his own electorate. Jim Bob Duggar and his wife Michelle are now expecting their 16th child.
The Duggars were the focus of a documentary called "14 Children and Pregnant Again," which achieved some of the highest ratings ever for The Discovery Channel cable network. Now, they a new documentary is one the way. Predictably, it will be entitled, "15 Children and Pregnant Again."
To the amazement of many parents who struggle to raise one ot two children, the Duggars say this might not be their last bundle of joy. "We love children," Jim Bob Duggar says. "We consider each one a blessing from the Lord and we would both love to have some more." Michelle adds, "They're a gift."
For the last two years, the Duggars have been working on a home that will accommodate their big family. When it's complete, the 7,000 square foot home will have a commercial kitchen, four washers, and eight driers.
The Duggars children range in age from one to 17.
Baby number 16 is scheduled to make her debut in October.

Looks like a fine family to me...
I wonder if she had a few at a time along the way. Two of the youngest boys look about the same age. Same goes for the boy and girl in front of mom. Also, the boy at bottom right and the boy just above him that sis has a hand full of.
Hard to tell. Now I'm seeing other possible combos, but they can't be much apart in age so it's hard to tell.

Hell my mother had 12 siblings (they were 13), all from the same parents. That was almost normal back then. No big deal.

In Arkansas, you could build a 7,000 square foot home for pretty cheap, if you were doing the work yourself. Providing for such a large family is quite doable in most areas of the US. |
In Arkansas with food stamps, welfare, and government housing, I bet you could live off $10 a month.
There's a damn waiting list for people to come on down to Camden and live in them...any Californian or other wealthy-location-citizen that doesn't understand, these people are not going to fall under financial ruin if they keep pumping out babies. Other implications of living with 15 siblings are probably worth considering, but the economics (except for paying for college) isn't a limit down here.

In the Phils, not far from our home there's a family with 10 kids so far. No safety net... We send over extra food once in a while as do other families that have something extra to give. Still, it must be very difficult.
The father is a security guard and the mother runs a little sari sari store.
The margin of survival for the third world is so thin. Still, they are so happy...

You'd need food stamps to pay for the food that many mouths would eat and I doubt he could make enough to pay for everything without being a welfare spunge. Land isn't an issue if you move far enough out there and you wouldn't need much of a job since welfare is paying for their inability to figure out how to use birth control. |
No, Jim Bob Duggars isn't on any assistance. My post just said he could be, and a lot of people come here specifically to get on it. I guess it wasn't totally lined up with the rest of the thread but I can jack my own thread if I want.
And DanS is right...you just don't understand how cheap things are out here. I complain about people moving here but it's better than living in CA and spending way too much on everything.
