Dear Mrs. Duggar:
I must say that I think it is both incredibly irresponsible and offensively selfish for you to continue having children, considering that you are now over 40 (43, to be precise). The probability that a child will be born with a serious birth defect, like Down syndrome, goes up dramatically with each passing year. (Ahem *SARAH PALIN*)
You say "I'm 43 almost 44 this September, I know that my mommy years are probably numbered and I don't know how many more children God will see fit to give me."
UGH. Your children come from your husband blowing his load in your vagina. Often. /story.
Would you stop having children only if "god" "gave you" a child that had a serious birth defect? Above maternal age 45, the probability of a child being born with down syndrome is about 1 in 19. You already had a 3-month premature birth; how much did your family pay out-of-pocket for the 4 months that the baby was in the hospital? How much did your insurance company pay? Do you see that the money your insurance paid for that could probably have helped hundreds if not thousands of younger, poorer mothers to have complication-free pregnancies?
Would you even see a birth defect as "a sign" that enough is enough? I'm not sure if you would. How selfish and cruel to the poor child who will suffer through life because you would not stop.

Somebody had to say it. What's with the sense that being immune from criticism is a good thing?

No sweat. I was thinking of Chris Rock's "somebody got to say it" bit.

I don't understand why it's "disgusting?"
More power to them, and I wish more families would do what they did...unlike those in poverty, this family can actually afford to feed, shelter and educate all these kids. Props to them...someone needs to fight against the retard generation.

Jim Bob FTW.
these TV shows start innocently enough... let's see how a family of 17 live thier life, by the third season of the show the family struggling to get by move into a mansion, home school thier kids with brand new computers and take to the road for vacation in some huge bus...
Same thing with that annoying little people show... first season it's like lets see them struggle to make ends meet. this season lets see them struggle to find room to park the new benzes in the giant garage they built - not fun? ok lets send them around the world.
