’19 Kids and Counting’s’ Josh Duggar & Wife Welcomes Baby Number Two!

‘Two Kids and Counting’ as of now, but will the eldest Duggar and his wife Anna outlast his parents in the baby department?

Congratulations go out to Josh and Anna Duggar, who just welcomed their second baby, a boy, 20 months after daughter MacKynzie‘s arrival in October 2009. So we can’t help but wonder…will Josh’s own brood beat out his parents‘ 19 Kids… and Counting?

Josh, 23, and Anna, 22, recently joked to E! Online that they wouldn’t mind having 25 kids! If it’s in God’s plan for them, they are all for it.

“It’s really not about the number of children you have, but how well are you doing with the children that God has given you,” Josh explains. “We’re just focusing on Mackenzie right now and this little boy that God has given us. We’re really just going to take it one at a time.”

But Michelle and Jim Bob aren’t done procreating either! “I know my time clock is ticking so I may be able to have more, I don’t know,” Michelle tells ParentDish. “We are so grateful for the ones we have and I couldn’t imagine life without one of these.”

So what do you think, HollyMoms? Who will have more babies?

Why wouldn’t Jim Bob and Josh say this is the way to go? Hell they’re getting it as much as they want when they want without using any protection. They are having their way. Yet they are not the ones having to carry 10-20 babies. Michelle Duggar’s body @ 45 is probably like one of a 60 y.o. right about now.

Siblings shouldn’t raise siblings. If you are having so many to where it takes your older children to raise the little ones, that should tell you that you’re being selfish and very wrong.

The Duggars are the best argument for birth control. Sterilize the Duggars.

how are they possibly giving each child the attention that they need? do they spend one on one time with each of them? no. that, in my opinion is cheating these children out of what they desserve. i understand that the argument is, the older siblings help with the younger ones, but it shouldnt be the older kids job to raise their siblings.

they’ve already admitted that they plan on following the same lifestyle as Josh’s parents, with thinking children are a gift from god, meaning throw birth control out the window. If they wanna have a buttload of kids, and have the means to do it than I guess more power to them. It’s none of my business how many kids they have, as long as they can afford them and are not sucking from the government like so many others do.
