Ding ding ding.

They own a landscaping company.

As long as they don't abuse the children like the sugars, I'm all for it.

As long as they love the kids (which it seems they do) it doesn't matter.

I personally will be stopping at 5 but people even are rude to me for the fact I want 5 kids at times. But we can afford 5 children, and we love our current 4 so much and we strive to make sure they have good healthy lives. I don't know honestly how people can do that with that many kids myself but if they can do it, why not?

Unless I see some real evidence something is "wrong" like abuse, neglect, etc & they are paying for everything, I can't fathom WHY anyone cares what they do.

I don't know why we'd waste time dogging on people who at least seem to be doing fine while ignoring the countless people with one or two who can't seem to get their crap together.

#8 is PISSED  

as far as their family size goes.....I don't care. I wouldn't want that many kids, just the thought makes me cringe but if that's what makes them happy and they are able to love and support a family of that size then I'm happy for them.

How do any of them of have time to have sex? Duggars and Bates also. Seriously I am pregnant and have a 13 month old and last thing on my mind is sex. Anyways whatever floats their boat. If I was one of their kids when I turn 18 I would move the hell out!

I couldn't have that many children. The most I would want is five, and five constitutes as a big family.

I would never have that many children.
I don't think I would be able to give them each the love and attention that they deserve. The most I could do is probably 4-5/

That being said, if they want to have that many, who cares?

If they are happy, great!

I tend to only worry about my own uterus. Its very freeing!

The only problem I see is exposing their young children to the media.. I'm sure not all of those children will grow up wanting to be known and followed by paparazzi.
