They are NOT on assistance. If you check out their website or watch any of their shows. They live DEBT-FREE. Something we shall all strive for. They have no mortage on the 7,000 sq ft home and paid for it as it was built!!!
To those who want to bash:
I say let them alone. They aren't harming you. You aren't paying for them in any way!!! There are many lessons alot of us could learn from them.
You are right! This is no ones business. This is their life and their choice. Live and let live!

No, they live off of the money they get from the Discovery Channel. That's how they built that big house, also.
Well, if people are watching the show, the Discovery Channel will pay them. I've never even heard of the show before, and I have no desire to watch it. But hey, FREE ENTERPRISE BABY!!! I guarantee you if the ratings weren't there the Discovery Channel would drop them like a rock!

I think these parents should be charged with child abuse. Their children are used as slaves. They are programmed from birth on to think the way they do. I also have never seen any of their children treated special, or even given any one on one time with either parent. They are all treated the same. I think it is sad.

Reminds me of the time on "You Bet Your Life" when Groucho Marx interviewed a lady who had 23 children.
"Why so many children?" Groucho asked.
"Well, I just love my husband!" the woman said.
"Well, I love my cigar, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while!" replied Groucho.
Thanks for the laugh! I was a kid when that show was on. Every Thursday night we had Groucho on. There wasn't much on tv back in those days. We only had 3 channels.

<quoted text>I've watched other shows on the Discovery Channel, and the families say that they don't get much money for allowing Discovery channel to film them. Example: Little People, Big World, Jon & Kate plus eight. They say that they do get trips from the Discovery Channel. Jim Bob, and Michelle are both licensed in real estate. Jim Bob had been in politics, don't know if he still is or not.
Yeah, I remember hearing that on one of their shows. They never really say what he does, though, and he seemed to have a lot of free time working on that house.

When is enough - enough? There is already a population problem in the world. Why do we as humans have to wait until the crisis is upon us before we see it coming? India, China, Korea and parts of Africa all have major problems with over population.
Why not change the tax code and pay more if you want more kids. The rest of us subsidize through taxes, welfare & public services those who reproduce excessively.
China has had to take extreme measures so can we learn anything before its too late?
We have illegal immigration which seems to be beyond either political party’s interest to control which just adds to the population explosion. One wants cheap labor and the other one see’s votes so every ten years we take in another group. We have limited supply resources to exist upon yet no one wants to control the increasing population demand.
thank you for that lovely, thought out, speech but i think you seemed to have forgotten all of the thousands of people who die due to diseases, accidents, suicides, murders, mass-murders, etc. the only ones to blame for tax is the government

Life is precious and should not be legislated. More power to them. Notice the children are not from different daddys. This is a married couple and if they want to keep having children then it's their choice. It is nobody's business. You big Government population control leftist freaks back off!
nicely written, i agree 100%. these people never have anything positive to say. gosh it must suck to be them!

I dunno, my kids and I go to thrift stores and really have no problem with it. It saves us money to use on my important expenditures, like future college tuition.
There is nothing wrong with shopping for clothes at the thrift store. At least the parents take care of these children, they are loved, they have clothes on their backs, food to eat, a nice place to live. They're not abusing their kids or throwing them in dumpsters like half of America. You can see all this if you've ever watched the show. They do have chores but so what! It will only help them in the future to become responsible adults. I thought they seemed like a nice normal family, besides being a bit larger. I did not think it seemed anything like a cult at all. You all are making some awful rude comments even when some of you all haven't even seen these people. They are not on welfare or any sort of public assistance either.

No wonder we have a generation of monsters. It's "sad" that people are thrifty and shop at second-hand stores? Kids who are required to do chores are "slaves?" What has this world come to? What's really sad is that people can't survive without putting themselves into debt so their kids can have the trendiest fashions and they themselves can keep up with the Jones'. What's sad is kids who've never been taught responsibility (why do you think we have 30 year olds living at home?) or to take care of themselves or anyone else. And we point fingers at people who are financially responsible that choose to have a lot of kids? I don't get it.

That is not a very nice thing to say about your kids

I can support having a large family, but when you have kids that are just taking care of their younger brothers and sisters......that is wrong. Parents should take care of the kids.

More power to them. They are married. They aren't on welfare. They aren't living in government housing. Their children aren't in trouble with the law.

Who are they bothering? I wouldn't want that many children but, as long as you can handle it financially (as in I don't want to be supporting you whether you have one child or twenty) and emotionally (because it is a big job to raise even one child) then go for it!
