Reply #69: And many do? [View All]

I don't have any statistics on that. Do you?

Do we know know that any of the Duggar girls will not have a extended education. ???

I am not in agreement with the Duggars. I think it's nuts to have that many children but not because the family helps the other family members. I find it nuts in other ways.

My grandmother was a child of 12. She was the oldest. She helped take care of the whole family before marrying and "pumping out" her own family of eight whom My mother was born. Grandma found very good work, grandpa was in the Navy. She worked until retirement as a switchboard operator at a local hospital. She also had a family of extremely well rounded and very educated children all obtaining college degrees except one, they were not rich, my mother had to find a job to help fund her education as well as her siblings. My Mother helped raise her younger brothers and sisters as well, until she herself moved away from home and married.

I'm just wondering if we are not getting the whole story here, and perhaps we are just disgusted by the thought of 20 children?
