The family's home in the northwest Arkansas town of Tontitown includes dormitory-style bedrooms for the boys and girls, nine bathrooms, a commercial kitchen, four washing machines and four dryers.
Among the "fun facts" listed on Discovery Health's Web page devoted to the Duggars: A baby has been born in every month except June; the family has gone through about 90,000 diapers, and Michelle Duggar has been pregnant for 126 months -- or 10.5 years -- of her life.
I actually saw something on the Discovery channel about this family. Hello, dorm-style housing and 4 washers/dryers...? 90,000 diapers? Do you think they were using cloth? Not to imagine how much food they probably plow thru in a week. Can you imagine if everyone lived like this? I hope they are recycling all that waste somehow!
It seems that some people tend to have this "Manifest Destiny" attitude about having kids, like it's their absolute right to bear as many children as possible... Yet how can anyone in their right mind who knows anything about the planet and the energy crisis proceed with a clear conscience?
It doesn't help that my family is going thru some sort of population explosion these days, and I am somehow being lumped into the middle of it... Sigh. Of all times for me to get knocked up! The guilt is building.....
Of course, I am one of those people who can't walk into a Kohl's without picturing all that crap on the bottom of the ocean floor someday... It's my curse in life. I also want to adopt every cat I see.
Woe is me!
