Jessa and Jill, the first sisters married, both have two children even though they haven't been married for very long, with another on the way. We wouldn't be surprised if the 19 Duggar children ended up producing over grandchildren, easily. Given how large their family is, you would think that Duggar parties would be boisterous events filled with dancing and merriment.
After all, they don't drink alcohol or have any vices like that, so why not just enjoy some dancing? Well, it turns out that because of their beliefs, they don't feel dancing is appropriate. We're not quite sure what the reasoning behind that is, but it definitely would put a damper on any kind of party. I mean, can you imagine a wedding without dancing at the reception? They may be used to it, but it would probably seem a little strange for their guests. The Duggar family once lived in a much smaller house, all squished together, before they eventually decided to custom build a large home for their family.
Jim Bob purchased a plot of land in Arkansas and bought the frame, but the financial burden wasn't entirely on the family. Discovery Networks, which was the company behind some of the first documentaries on the family, helped to pay for some of the furnishings. They also got local builders and suppliers in the area who were willing to donate some of their time or materials in order to bring the home to life.
That definitely made it easier to afford! You would assume that a beach trip would be a fun, cost-effective vacation for the Duggar family. After all, you don't have to pay to lay out in the sand and splash in the waves. In comparison to something like Disneyland, where each child would cost hundreds, it's definitely a lower cost option. However, you won't catch the Duggars taking a beach vacation anywhere tropical—they try to avoid beaches whenever possible. It's not because they dislike the ocean or the sand—it's because they don't like the average attire on the beach.
Though the Duggar women wear their modest swimwear, apparently they don't want the discomfort of other women in more 'casual' suits for the men in their family. If you've ever wondered how much it costs to feed a family of 19, well, we've got your answer. The Duggars are very smart when it comes to finding economical ways to fill up their fridge and pantry. They buy things by the case, they watch for sales, and they stock up when they find a good price on something.
We have to admit, though that's a crazy high amount, it's actually pretty impressive given the size of their family. There are many families of three or four who easily spent several hundred per month—obviously their shopping strategy is a good one!
Given that there are 19 children in the Duggar family, you would assume there would be a Duggar birthday party every single month at least. However, it turns out, there are a few gaps. Namely, none of the Duggar children have birthdays in February or June. You would think that even accidentally, they'd manage to get one for every month, but that's not how it worked out. Although, given how many friends each of the children have, we'd bet that they're still probably attending at least one party a month, even if they're not hosting it for their own children.
We hope they like cake! Children are expensive, plain and simple. I play the harp. Do any of you play? And it seems like Lissy favors her left hand, too! My favorite candy is black licorice.
Which are you? One of the Scriptures verses that has been most encouraging to me recently has been Galatians It amazes me that people get on here and say the cruel things they do. The Duggars are such an inspiration.
I admire Michelle for her Christ like spirit and love. For those who say she does nothing She does more than you think. When you have children, it is wise to teach them responsibility. As far as their finances, they are debt free and do not accept outside help. I have seen several episodes where Jim Bob has donated money or helped the less fortunate.
I also know Michelle has stated several times that they are about serving others and teaching their children the same. They don't think TVs are wrong, it's what's on them that's wrong and therefore they choose not to have one. What's the point? They do their TV show as a ministry and it has blessed and touched many lives. They are an encouragement and an example of what a Christian family should be. If you don't like the show or what thru believe, don't watch it It's that simple!
Having grown up IFB, there is much too much about this family that disturbs me. I cringe watching the Duggars more than I do when watching Sister Wives.
At least Kody and his 4 wives teach their children how to have independent thought and prepare them for living in the real world. The Duggars are classic IFB. I would like to know the Duggars views on homosexuality. If one of their children were gay would they disown them or would they show them love. I have a gay child and I love him unconditionally.
Would they be as accepting? This question is a serious not to be profane, nor derogatory, nor in poor taste. God loves all his children the same. You are my inspiration. Also where do you get all that money for the groceries every month? Thank You very much! I think it's interesting how alot of ppl have jumped on this "bully bandwagon" , and are quick to call someone "homohobic" or accuse them of a so called "hate crime".
Then the same ppl come on here and say the nastiest things about this family. Sounds like the same thing they call bullying to me.
Just because they don't embrace or agree with your " alternative" lifestyles doesn't mean they hate anyone. Just like anybody else that comes on TV and promotes their beliefs, no matter how sick or twisted, they are doing the same. Practice what you preach, mind your own business, and if you don't like them or their beliefs, then change the channel.
No one is making you watch. With the way the world is today, it is a blessing to have a family oriented show, that focuses on family and God. I have a question I would love for the Duggars to answer. I would really like to start homeschooling my kids but just don't know how to get started. How did you get started? Any good websites I should check out? Any help would help. Thank you. In the FAC, it answers on how to "what would it take to date a duggar girl" well, what would it take to date a duggar girl?
I made a mistake in my last posted question. So we shall try it again.. Or even to be pursued by one? I'm sure this is FAQ for the Duggar girls, but could they post the answer or make a video on how they do their hair, basic hair maintenance ie how often do they trim, if they trim it at all etc.
Also where do they turn or find their fashion tips from considering they don't watch TV and I'm assuming they don't follow style magazines? God Bless! I have a question is there. Anonymous Hi Anonymous , You can email the Duggars at duggarmail gmail. Do you know where the Duggar girls purchase their shirts? I know people always ask about their skirts, but I love the bright colorful tips that they have worn the past few years!
All of the Duggar girls are beautiful and set such a great example for their peers! Thank you!! They also look for deals on the sale racks at discount and department stores. I want to be in a courtship but my family is not religious. I made the decision to become part of the church without growing up with those beliefs.
How would that work? I love the show and the values they put forth but am just confused by this one issue that doesn't seem to be touched upon.
Also, I have never seen such a beautiful group of children inside and out , all of the older children have been so much fun to watch as they have matured. Lilly and Ellie, My questions are: How many babies in diapers have they had at once? I saw an episode where they were picking grapes and two of the little girls were wearing pretty short shorts Anonymous how refreshing! I wish I had been more like you when I was young rather than worrying if I "fit in"!
I know it would have led me to a much happier life. Stand strong and know that you are pleasing not only the Los, but many other women like myself! Can anyone tell me something? I remember seeing an old show in which all the family was involved.
One son has a condition that makes him an albino and he can't be in the sun. The family was doing a baseball game against another team. Where is that young man now? My daughter is the oldest of 6. We had a dysfunctional family, although she had parental roles. She got involved with a bit when she was She is now 22 and expecting her fourth child.
He is not good for her. She lives with us. I've begged her to think, make smart decisions. He doesn't provide for her. Uses her for money. I'm heartbroken. I don't think I have the strength to help care for yet another child.
I agree if anything i thing jeans or pants would be more better as there isnt any openings and they can move around stuff a skirt rises and has that opening easy to lift. Lol good luck with that hes a film major he has to watch all sorts of films which the duggars may deem inappropriate Have you seen their kids hang with friends? In the house even though we have all drawn them as kids? That's the difference right there. What could possibly be wrong with dancing. There is such thing as dancing that isn't dirty.
Yes, children are a blessing but not everyone can provide for their children the lifestyle every human being deserves. If you cannot afford a child and provide for them, you should NOT have children. It is not a blessing to have children who grow up in poor living conditions.
The world is over populated, contrary to what they say. And mostly with people who grow up in poverty. There aren't enough resources. So I strongly disagree with the Duggars encouraging having lots of children. Would God really want people to keep having children when they are just setting up another human being to live a miserable life? I think not. The Duggars should stress that not everyone is called to have large families. Especially when they are unable to provide for them. Or in the case of Josie, the mother putting her child at risk of health concerns by having children at an older age.
That is not okay. She was not put in a situation where she HAD to have kids later in life. God didn't say multiply. I think everyone should keep that in mind before having children. The Duggars have superb Christian beliefs and family values, but they are ignorant of the realities of poverty.
Birth control is not a bad thing when it prevents suffering. Or prevents depriving the children you already have. I can't believe I didn't know about this show before last night. I was happy to run across it! What an inspiration this family is, especially in their kindness to one another. The world could take a lesson from the Duggars! Anonymous I couldn't agree more. Thank you, Duggar family.
I wish my dh and I had known more about bring up our children as you have. Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean they shouldn't. Sounds a little judgmental to me. Anonymous I agree with you. Its amazing how judgmental people can be.
It'd be nice for the critical ones to keep their negative comments to themselves. I think the Duggars are doing a wonderful job.
Anonymous apparently the rest of the world does not have the same critical and judgmental thoughts as you. Anonymous I'm sure that with a family that large her main concern is providing for the children and not concerned with wearing the latest in-style overly priced outfit.
Looks to me she has her priorities in line I very much admire your family. I find myself wishing that I could have been brought up this way, and would have carried on to my own children. Through years of watching the show I feel like I know you all!
You can always adopt if you want to add to your family.. That child would be one lucky child!! Praise God for allowing us all a peak inside your wonderful loving family and thank you for sharing your life with us! Ellie read it several years ago and really enjoyed it. I couldn't agree more! The duggars are a great teacher to everyone! I love this family they have blessed me so much. I strive to have that love, I would like to pattern myself after Michelle Duggar How she treats her family.
Where do the Duggar kids get their musical talent from? The parents don't play any instruments as far as I know. Hope mine posted.. That makes no sense please. Let me know and I know this is correct cause I rewatched the show recently after I saw the preview of the newest court ship It seems like they leave some of those decisions up to the couple in the courtship. It could also be age related. Either way, it seems to be up to them and not us. It looks like they're doing a pretty good job. I recently watched the 19 Kids and Counting show where Michelle and Jim Bob took Jessa and her new boyfriend Ben on a double date and I found Jim Bob's behaviour quite inappropriate, He was "hugging" Michelle and then asked her if what he was doing "turned her on!
It's as if they were taunting Jessa and Ben. Michelle even says to the camera that the kids could not do this until they were married and then she laughs! The camera loves them both. We love learning more about her and her adorable family, especially when we're still waiting for more episodes of Counting On to arrive.
It's really sweet to see how happy she's been even during a crazy time in the world like this and that her life panned out to be exactly the way she said she wanted it to be when she was a little kid.
