Michelle Duggar is expecting her seventeenth child. What are your thoughts on this?

My honest opinion is that there is no reason to have so many children. There is no way on God’s green earth that two people can provide adequate attention and affection to seventeen children. There is only so much two people can do, and provide one-on-one love, affection and attention to seventeen children is just not happening.

I also think it is wrong of the Duggars to expect their older children to be nothing more than live-in babysitters to the younger children. Aren’t these children entitled to their own lives? Who gives Michelle and Jim Duggar the right to cast their older children in the roles of babysitter and housekeeper because they themselves can’t handle seventeen children?

That aside, I am also concerned with the way the children are being raised. The Duggars expect their children to stay on the land and continue to live the life of a Duggar – have child after child and do nothing but parent and play housekeeper from sunup to sundown, day after day, year after year. In my opinion, that is not much of a life.
