i caught one of their specials on TLC the other night...i believe mrs duggar called it "the buddy system". For as much child-rearing as the older kids are doing, they may as well have gotten knocked up themselves. Not sure what they drove...looked like an (overcrowded) full size van- sans child safety seats. In the special, they were building a behemoth 7k square foot house, but with only 3 bedrooms for the kids. One of the little boys talked about how all he wanted in the new house was a place to hide. That's sad. And Jim Bob's plans for the kids involve them living on the property, even after they've grown and are ready to fly the nest.
is that what someone has to do for free stuff these days? have 17 kids?!
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
i don't think these guys can handle 17 though, esp once they start passing off child care onto the other kids. I wonder how much time they (the kids) have for playing and just being children....seems like much of their days are spent in servitude to two people who can't keep their Fundamentalist hands off each other.
I'm sorry but there is just no way you can spend a good amount of time let alone equally with 17 kids. I feel so bad for the children!!!
