19 Mouth’s to Feed..and Counting

I know this has no lit­er­ary pur­pose at all but I had to com­ment on this 19^th baby and the Duggars? I had two and vowed to never do it again. My youngest was twenty-​nine hours of labor, (for the guys I don’t mean I pushed for twenty-​nine hours but that’s how long I was in the process of labor)I cried, I yelled, I made empty promises, any­thing to get the doc­tor to get that lit­tle life out of me. After that round of the most excru­ci­at­ing pain ever (sec­ond only to get­ting the femur bone cracked in half accord­ing to Brian Regan).

While Michelle Duggar had he baby trough c-​section I still just can­not imag­ine hav­ing to carry and birth any any capac­ity nine­teen chil­dren. That is a total of some 171 months that she has spent preg­nant. She had her first baby at 21 and is now 43 years old. I hate to be a naysayer but I am a mother who is devoted to my chil­dren but I could not imag­ine rais­ing eigh­teen kids and then going on to have another one at age forty-​three. I am actu­ally count­ing down the days until my chil­dren are old enough to bear the respon­si­bil­ity of them­selves.

Just kid­ding. Possibly. My chil­dren haven’t hit their teen years yet. While, I hope their baby is fine con­sid­er­ing it is a pre­emie I would not wish nine­teen chil­dren on my worst enemy. This may sound like I don’t love chil­dren. I do. I absolutely adore them. But 19 vs. 1 (let’s face the real­ity here, Mom’s gen­er­ally do all the work) is more than a notion. This would be me if I had more than two chil­dren…

What do you think about the Duggars and their nine­teen chil­dren? What would be your max­i­mum amount of chil­dren you would have?

Thanks for read­ing,
