So hard not to judge.... (0 / 0)

trying not to judge...trying to walk a mile in her shoes...not going to say she's out of her mind...not going to say she and her family give me the creepy creepies....not judging...ah...who am I kidding?

I childproofed my house but they got back in somehow.

  I don't mind.
  
  But it reminds me how thankful I am that in this era, we can control our fertility.

    although, as it eventually turned out, I didn't need so much to control my fertility, I needed to encourage it!

  It wouldn't bother me if she had 118 children if they'd quit dressing them all the damn same!

    dude she has practically been pregnant for TWENTY YEARS. Just think about that. 18 kids, oldest 20, youngest 9 months, pregnant again... doesn't that seriously mean for the past 20 years she has been pregnant for 65% of the time? Someone help my math.
    
    20 years = 240 months
    17 pregnancies (not counting the new one)= 153 months (based on the 9 month calendar concept, not accounting for what's actually a 10 month process)
    
    Pregnant for 12.75 YEARS.
    
    OH MY GOD.

    - She has a couple sets of twins. (0 / 0)
      
      I know, it doesn't take a lot of time out of the equation, but....
      
      My father was an only child. I think part of the reason he never felt lonely was because down the road there was a family that had 21 children. Everyone swore to this. I never figured out how anyone could manage to have so many, but I guess the Duggars might be giving me a demonstration.

        That sounds like my personal version of HELL.

  I know. They seem like a nice family and the children seem well-cared for, so who knows.
  
  My grandmother had 11 kids, including my mom, and for some reason I don't find that odd or even slightly interesting.
  
  But for some reason, I have like radar towards Duggar news. Although of course, when it gets posted everywhere when she's pregnant again, how can I miss it.
