Heck, people with 3 kids are considered "large families" now. However, I feel that 5 kids isn't the same as 18, IMO. I had a hard time naming two I can't imagine coming up with 18 names! And we all know you are a supermom and love each child with your everything!Karyn with a Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285346654214596394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129107790577345883.post-36371135808074518952008-12-21T00:14:00.000-09:002008-12-21T00:14:00.000-09:00well said, I have 4 children and we are a family o...well said, I have 4 children and we are a family of six, and yes its really tough in todays current climate.But we have a lovely close family.<BR/><BR/>Just wishing you a wonderful christmas and happy new year and another year of blogging.<BR/>xxxxxx<BR/>tAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129107790577345883.post-59975392206238156122008-12-19T12:47:00.000-09:002008-12-19T12:47:00.000-09:00You have said it perfectly wendi.

I agree with pretty much all your points and here are my thoughts on the duggars:<BR/><BR/>They have a bunch of commercial properties, they are 100% debt free so I have to hand it to them, even if they have a freakishly large family, others have done it I am sure , I have heard grandparents of people saying they were 17 of 23 children and not everyone can do that and still be debt free. While yes they weird me out I do have a little admiration for them, heck we only have 3 and are far from debt free. I am in awe they can do that. It's actually quite amazing. However I do think she needs to heed the dr's advice and stop or she will end up leaving her family without a mother. They are right her in the town next to meAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943450964172755972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129107790577345883.post-19107904034585102462008-12-19T12:21:00.000-09:002008-12-19T12:21:00.000-09:00I hear ya Wendi..

I think when you have two loving and caring parents its a wonderful thing, I guess the thing about the Duggars that bothers me is that the oldest kids are basically acting in a parents role to the younger at times... because there is a huge difference between 5 and 18! There is absolutly no way I could have 18 kids and have enough time and attention to give to each and every one of them. <BR/><BR/>For people to get on your case for 5 kids, is IMHO rude. 5 is a perfectly manageable (for you, not me...LOL) amount of kids!Minxy Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798690022831332543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129107790577345883.post-16605745207854007492008-12-19T11:33:00.000-09:002008-12-19T11:33:00.000-09:00Wonderfully said Wendi. :)Wonderfully said Wendi. :)Jess NBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12584926523496045694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129107790577345883.post-84463788813792026112008-12-19T11:22:00.000-09:002008-12-19T11:22:00.000-09:00I am giving you a standing ovation right now at my...I am giving you a standing ovation right now at my kitchen table. I'm getting funny looks from the dog, but I don't care. Well said. I only have two children so far, and I've "heard of birth control" too, and for my own reasons choose not to use most forms of it. The question, "Have you ever heard of birth control" infuriates me. It makes me want to forget my good "southern girl" manners and all sense of decency (not to mention Christian love) and slug someone right in the face. It's so rude. errr! Thanks Wendi! Now I'm mad! jk, kinda!!HeatherLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641045279056823396noreply@blogger.com
