20 Kids

Guest post from: Constance Rodgers

I heard recently that the mom on the show “19 Kids and Counting” is expecting another baby. I cannot imagine birthing and raising 20 kids. I have two kids and have thought about having a third, but 20 would be out of control. I had never heard of that family until we got direct.tv and I started watching their show. They actually seem like really nice people that have life completely figured out. They home school all of their kids, which is hard to believe because I do not know how their mother has time to keep up with each child’s individual learning. Each child seems really sweet natured and respectful. The family is very conservative and the girls do not wear pants. They only wear long skirts. I can’t believe that the mother’s body could tolerate 19 pregnancies, but she seems to be in decent shape. I do wonder if they get a significant amount of money for being on that show because they live in a large house and the mom does not work. I think they are doing a good job raising their kids.
