Duggar Family Putting Youngest Child at Risk With Three-Week TLC Shoot?
by Free Britney at .TLC continually changes the name of its show 19 Kids and Counting to reflect the increasing number of Duggar offspring. Jim Bob and Michelle? Fertile.
But it reportedly nearly declined by one.
The youngest child of the 21-member Arkansas family has reportedly suffered some serious medical problems while shooting overseas in Israel.
Little Josie-Brooklyn Duggar was born prematurely and is prone to illness, but sources say the demands of their TLC schedule put her more at risk:
“Josie has had serious breathing issues since her premature birth. While the Duggars are a loving family who adore their children, they are definitely risking little Josie’s life by traveling all over the world," says an insider.
"It seems like they are putting the show before their child’s health. Jim Bob and Michelle need to put their children before media attention and money.”
Definitely out of character for the evangelical Christian family, who - no matter what you think of their lifestyle - live debt free and relatively simply.
Although, as Jon Gosselin can attest, money and fame change people.
Should Jim Bob and Michelle try for baby Duggar #20?

Hello hey hi um.. I'd like 2 express my opinion, ..Id like 2 know which one of y'all has the manual 2 raising the perfect child? Cause I know as a mother, that book doesn't exsist! We just try 2 do the best we can with what we have. I do know I have a lot of questions 4 the duggars, regarding how they make it work cause I know how much time, money, love, patience, ect.. it takes 2 be a parent. But I think y'all r being 2 harsh & I like them they seem very nice. They are living the way God say fit just like every 1 of us should be. & he who lives in a glass house should not throw the 1st stone!!!
Come on. My parents had 2 kids. My brother and I didn't get "special attention" because there was only 2 of us. My fam is HUGE. My brother and I have 32 1st cousins. We all got together twice a week. None of us felt neglected at all. In fact, all of us got SO much attention....pick on the poor families that only had 3 to 5 people in it. That's NOT a family!!!!
I watched the show for about 5 minutes and felt it was a waste of time. I don't like the show at all. STOP HELPING THEM EXPLOIT THEIR CHILDERN BY NOT WATCHING THE SHOW.
statistically speaking, several of their kids have a probability of being gay. will they have a show on Logo then, or be on andy cohen's "watch what happens live"?
I have to wonder .... how much personal time does each child get with mom and/or dad? ... shouldn't that matter? And how do these parents have time to do a TV show? And why keep your children from the world in which they will someday have to make their way? And, while they are supporting their children financially (I assume), do these parents ever question the stress such a large family puts upon the Earth? how much water will they all drink, how much food will they consume, how much waste will they produce? I certainly do not hate these parents, but I absolutely question their ability to be good parents and their true motivation for such unbridled procreation.
