The oh so famous Dugger clan....18 kids. Can you imagine!?!?! Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are the proud parents of 18, yes 18 biological children. Jim Bob and Michelle firmly believe that every child is a gift to be cherished, and this family has 10 boys and 8 girls to cherish. Michelle has carried all 18 kids, been pregnant for 12 years of her life and had only 2 sets of twins. From oldest to youngest, Joshua, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jeremiah, Jedidiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer and Jordyn-Grace.So what is it with this family?? The Duggars are Independent Baptists, they do not watch much TV if any at all, they very closely monitor their children's internet and computer use and home school the kids. After Michelle experienced a miscarriage after her first pregnancy from taking the birth control pill, they decided to allow God to bless them with as many children as he desired.
Joshua, is their oldes son at age 21. Jordyn-Grace is the youngest at less than 1 year old. Some fun facts about this family:
-If the family had the Honda Piolot, 3 vehicles would be needed to transport everyone.
-Even with 14 passenger vans, two are needed to transport everyone!
-The Duggars use a bus to move the whole family, even to the grocery store!
-If they decided to take a bus trip, you know with other families, they would take up 40% of the bus!
-At an estimate of $200,000 to raise a child, which may be high and may be low, it will cost the Duggar parents $3.6 million to raise all 18 kids to the age of 18. They have already gotten three kids to that magical age of 18 so only 15 more to go.
Is this family going to keep having children, or are they done at number 18?
Survey say's....
Josh Duggar is going to welcome his first child into the world with wife Anna, 20. Jim Bob and Michelle are going to be grandparents with the youngest Aunt being Jordyn-Grace, at age 4 months currently!
What do you think about this family? Are they wrong for having so many children even though they can afford them all? How is this family influencing other families, like the lady who had 8 babies at once, and she already had 6 kids or something crazy like that! I think that this family can have as many children as they please, but the show should stress that they have ZERO debt, are happily married, and can afford all of their children! This way crazy people don't think, 'hey I can have 18 kids!'
