Reply #5: But what if having 17 kids is being irresponsible?

[Nevernose]

Maybe global population is something to seriously consider before having 17 kids. Also, there is no possible way on earth or in heaven that either of those parents can give each and everyone of those 17 kids the love and attention they need; there are only 168 hours in the week. And I'm sure two people could take care of twice that many children in an orphanage, too, and do an adequate job of feeding and clothing them.

In the GD thread on this earlier in the week, I was lambasted (a little) for saying "Just because she has a choice, it doesn't make it the RIGHT choice." And I stand by that statement. I don't think it's fair to the kids. I would support her in her RIGHT to make that choice, but I would I also humbly suggest that she made the wrong one.

And as far as "anyone's business" is concerned, it's none of yours or their supporter's, either; just because someone supports them doesn't make it their business.

At any rate, I know that we both wish the Duggars well.
