Jon and Kate Plus 8 Versus Octomom Verses the Duggers of 18 and Counting: When is Many Children Too Many?

Jon and Kate Plus 8, I don't even know where to begin with this one. Sextuplets with two other children as a reality show? That's the first part of all this craziness. Putting that many young children in front of the camera as much as they are is just insane. Now Jon and Kate are divorced, separated, getting back together, or something. The show has turned away from what it takes them to raise eight kids to their screwed up marriage.

With all the news surrounding Octomom having a set of octuplets bring her child count up to fourteen. Yet this mom who is living on state support with fourteen children is mad because of all the media attention she has received. What in the world did she think was going to happen? The news media and society thrives on drama and insanity like this.

I know octomom, Nadya Suleman, had all fourteen of her children through invetro, but the Duggars had them the old-fashioned way. The question for the Duggar's,"Don't you know what causes that?" Yes, that's the obvious question. Loving children is one thing, just how much love can you give that many children? That may be an easy answer for some and just as hard to answer for others.

I watched a few episodes of the TLC show 18 and Counting and wasn't all that impressed with it. The only part of this show I ever watched was when they were building their new house for the seventeen children and the one on the way season or whatever it was. Now the Duggars found they are having child number nineteen. When is time to say enough is enough?

I know Mrs. Duggar said she would have children as long as she was able to, but just how much attention and love can she give this amount of children? Is it healthy for her, her husband, and the rest of the kids?

Between these three couples, they have a total of forty-one kids after the latest addition to the Duggar family is born. That's an average of 6.84 kids per adult. 6.84 kids sounds a bit crazy doesn't it?

I've heard "insanity breeds contempt." Jon and Kate, Nadya Suleman, and the Duggars makes me wonder if their insanity is breeding contempt for life itself. I do wonder if any of these six adults have seriously considered what would happen to their children if they were to suddenly die before all their children were able to take care of themselves.

Even with if the economy wasn't as it is today, could Jon and Kate, Suleman, and the Duggars support their kids without the news media, state support, the free stuff they have received, and their reality shows? More than likely not.
