I know I've had a "big family" debate before, and I know that it all boils down to personal choice, but still...the Duggar family is expecting their 18th baby, which to me just seems...well, wow. I can't imagine it. Having five is a scary prospect. I'm sure, after awhile, they all keep each other occupied...and it IS nice to have a support system...I just wonder how the children can learn their individuality in a family that is a required to be a system of sorts.

There can't be room for chaos, I would think. There can't be alot of time for the parents to spend with each child, and they keep having them...

I know some people look at me the same way when I stroll around with four, pregnant again. I just wonder what Michelle Dugger's life will be when she hits menopause. Will she grieve? Will she mourn? Will she be ecstatic? She's still pretty young for menopause, though...she may have to wait ten more years before that happens, and she and her husband say they'll keep having them as long as the Lord will give them the gift.

I don't know what to say about this. What do you Mamas think?
