Crazy or Happiest Mom in the World?

We all know there are crazy people in this world, but I think there is no one more crazy then Michelle Duggar the mother who just had her 17th baby. That’s right, I said SEVENTEEN.

Surely you have seen the Duggar shows on TLC? They live in Arkansas and have (now) 17 children, they live in one big house with various stoves and washing machines and Michelle home schools all of the children. That means, that she doesn’t ever get a break, especially from being pregnant, since she has had 17 children starting at age 21.

Thier newest daughter is named Jennifer to go along with the “J” theme they have with all of their children’s names. The children include Joshua, 19, John David and Janna, 17, Jill, 16, Jessa, 14, Jinger, 13, Joseph, 12, Josiah, 11, Joy-Anna, 9, Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 8, Jason 7, James 6, Justin, 4, Jackson, 3, and Johannah 19 months.

The older children have a “buddy” where they make sure a younger sibling is dressed, cleaned, fed etc. That makes it easier on the mom, but still I wonder what Jim Bob Duggar does to pay for all the food they eat, the clothes and their 7,000 square foot home. Just keeping my two kids in granola bars has proven to be pricey!

So what do you think is this lady crazy or just the most patient, organized woman in the world?

    Bob sells DVDs and CDs on how to become rich. Seriously.

    I can’t offer an opinion on Mama Duggar. This is a family site.

    I don’t have cable so I’ve never heard of the Duggars. I suppose she’s both patient and organized. There’s no way I’d be able to handle more than my current two.
