    Just watched a program on Discovery H&H about a family in the States that have 17 kids and one on the way.
    They seem to be a type of ultra conservetive Christians that reckon they should be at it like rabbits and let nature take its course.

    To me thats pretty un-natural..what ya thik?
    Not really unnatural.
    It's quite normal actually.
    We're like any other species on the planet. We're built to procreate.

    Was it the Dugans or D-somethings? And don't each of their children have a name that starts with the letter J?

    God, I feel bad for the mother. Then again, maybe it gets easier after your 6th or 7th, who knows...

    Yeah...thats it...J..J...J...J...all Js.
    saw it last week( didnt really cop the point of the program...didnt knoe there were 17) where the eldest proposes to his GF...but his faith doesnt allow any type of fornication untill the wedding day.
    So he pops the question to his GF...shes gushing & lovin it...and he gives her a great big HUG!!...thats it...nothing else. So the religion stuff plays a huge part.

    Apparently they rent a few commercial properties and that's how they live day to day.

    My childcare costs amount to e300 for 3 children. If I had 17, I'd definitely want to work to keep my sanity but it would put me in serious debt! And I think i'd move out.

    imo it would be far more unnatural to have 1 or 2 and say no more, ever. I don't want 17 kids, but it's not like they're doing anything to hurt anyone or he's having kids with his daughters or something

    OMG like no way, you mean like Catholics? :eek:

    I don't think she'd worry about it too much. He's probably got the potency of his father, so she's probably relieved more than anything tbh. Time enough for the rest.

    So too much sex is a problem and no sex is a problem.......

    After about 4 or 5 she should have had a c-section and asked them to stick a zip in when they were sowing her up.

    A family from my village had 18 kids. They were on that old Saturday night light entertainment show from the early 90's.. Can't remember the name of the show or who hosted it though =(

    I know a family with 14 kids, 8 of whom were adopted. They used to drive a minibus. Funnily enough they weren't religious at all. Parents just liked sex and loved kids.

    The amazing Duggers.

    She makes the smocks for the girls to wear. She home schools them. Drills religion into them. Very little, supervised telly. Basicically the "buddy" system means the older children are responsible for a younger sibling.

    She cooks,cleans raises 17 kids and still finds the time to roide her man at the end of the night. Whats not to admire about this woman :D


    ....did she not fire out another one lately?... think it's 18 now. LOL
