[blparent] Baby names (Duggars)

Mon Apr 30 13:25:00 UTC 2012

Yes, I understand that before the Duggars made it big, they were a charity case from heir church. Nothing wrong with needing help, but these guys seem to have made it a lifestyle choice.

Also, I think they are part of a movement called quiverfull which basically says to have as many babies as possible and that God will close the uterus down when it's time to stop.

I've seen families where older kids are responsible for younger ones. The older kids seem beaten down because they can't really say no.

>From what  I've seen of the Duggars, unfortunately, the older kids take an
enormous amount of responsibility for the younger ones.  The mom always
talks about how they're on a "buddy system" where an older kid is
responsible for a younger one, and it rotates each day to help them all form
relationships with each other.  The older one gets the little one dressed,
and they have a big chore chart, where the older one has to sign off on his
or her chores, and also the chores of their "buddy" for the day.  The older
one can't sign off on the younger one till the chore is done right, even if
that means pitching in and helping.  I'm not sure it's fair to the older
siblings, but hey, they didn't ask me.

They lost Baby #20 not long ago.  She was a girl, lost at twenty weeks or
so, when an ultrasound showed no heartbeat.  They had a funeral and burial.
Just because we're talking about names, she would have been Jubilee Shalom.

The Duggars rub me the wrong way because the mom brags a ton about how they
live debt free.  But the television station that airs their show bought them
a house, and they've all got free healthcare because the dad was a
government employee, state or federal, I can't remember.  If I had a free
house and free insurance, I could probably live free of debt, too.

Enough venting, I suppose.
