I think this woman is disturbed. My grandmother had 9 children because of her Roman Catholicism, but all my aunts and my mother have her personality although they had 3 or less children apiece. But my grandmother was a "martyr" type much like Michelle and was a classic narcissist as well as possibly had that Munchausen Syndrome. She never physically made my aunts and uncles sick, but rather emotionally was manipulative so she could always be the saint and they the undeserving children who were lucky to be in the world. Michelle seems to fit this. I would bet Michelle had a priviledged childhood where she had lots of attention and material things so she's fine. But her children have got to feel like part of a litter and anonymous. They are also exploited to do ALL the cooking, cleaning, laundry, schooling, etc...since Michelle is always pregnant and cooking would make her feel sick (the aroma), she gets to take it easy. I think the father has been roped into this through Michelle's manipulation. I hope the children can seriously "ween" themselves away from that family and not have that many children. My mom only had me and my two sisters and yet she bitched about us constantly even though we were always honor students, never got into trouble, had no physical/mental problems...because she was mimicing my grandmother's behavior. I pity Michelle who is seriously nutty.

For your information Michelle does not wean her children just to have another one... sometimes she gets pregnant while she is still nursing... other times the baby weans its self. They let the Lord decide how big their family will be. I'm sorry you feel the way you do about the Dugger family, but saying mean things about them without even knowing them is just rude.

Girl mullets! hahahahahaha..... that's hilarious! :) Yes, it's too bad that the Duggar's are the only model for the world to see about large families.

I saw your link on BBC. I'm a mom of soon to be 5. I'm not quiverfull, but I have some opinions about BC that are different than most of the population.

Here's my blog:

I brought up the fact on another message board that Michelle Duggar weaned early so she CAN get pregnant...she does NOT get pregnant breastfeeding, and weans early but my comments were misunderstood. I'm glad you cleared those things up on this blog. I think QF is great. It is this misrepresentation of it that is not.

This is what I have heard from QF people about the Duggar family, that they are a grave misrepresentation of the QF movement. Am I the only one here who is disturbed at the fact that Michelle Duggar weans her baby early so she can have another? Am I the only one disturbed at the fact that the kids know that exactly 9 months from the last baby's birth she usually tends to be pregnant with the next child?

This all strikes me as kind of strange, to tell you the truth. I mean if you are QF that's your decision (I have never felt that conviction, personally and I could never really just "enjoy" myself with my husband with there being a good possibility of me getting pregnant when I'm not ready yet). But I don't think the Duggars are really so much "letting God decide" as much as they are trying to get God to work in their favor of outbreeding everyone else.

Amen Sistah! What is a tater tot?
