{shudder}
I just have a hard time conceptualizing that they're as involved with 16 children as other parents are with 2 or 3. After a certain number, the kids start raising one another more than the parents can possibly can. :shrug-shoulders:
jmho
I really can't say anything about their lifestyle or how many kids, because I think if it works for them, that's great.
However, what I CAN say, is that I really wish they'd protect all those kids in the car better!
I can just imagine the coronary one of us would have if we saw one of their huge vans driving down the road, full of kids in expired t-shields and other crappy seats.
I grew up as one of six and yes, I did have to help with the younger ones. We all came along pretty quickly. All six in 10 years and 12 days! However, I don't resent my siblings. In fact, if there is some type of emergency they tend to turn to me. I don't mind that, really. They also ask my opinion on all sorts of things. Also, while I would not want that many kids, I don't begrudge someone else for doing it. I have watched every single Dugger episode and I have a lot of respect for them. My favorite is her schedule. She says they may not get it all done, but at least they have a goal!
The Dugger kids seem very polite and well-behaved.
I REALLY wish they would pay a little more attention to the car seat situation, though. Even just tighten the straps a bit. Yikes.
:yeahthat:
.... but I also wouldn't want to display my life on Tv, so that I could be searching through forums to see that someone shudders at the very mention of my name. Ouch, keep in mind guys, they are real people, and not characters on TV. That being said, I guess they did choose to put their family on TV, and need to expect that there will be people talking about them, as they have definatley chosen a different path than most!
