There may be a reality TV spinoff called "100 Grandbabies and Counting" if Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have their way. The parents of "19 Kids and Counting" are offering grandparenting lessons advertising that they have eight and are "Counting On" over 100! But critics say they should concentrate on their parenting skills as Anna and Josh Duggar ready themselves for baby #5, jobless Jill and Derick Dillard cadge funds, Joy-Anna Duggar faces an unwed pregnancy scandal, and 27-year-old Jana Duggar is just unwed.
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar boast 100+ grandkids
The parents of reality television's "19 Kids and Counting" will teach a grandparenting seminar. The Duggar Family blog says that they bring expertise from 8 going on 100 grandchildren. They may be just exaggerating, but more likely are "Counting On" the children to provide 5-6 grandbabies each. Such an algorithm contradicts their Bible-based family planning. By setting expected family numbers and pressuring kids to procreate, Mr. and Mrs. Duggar make birth control their prerogative, not God's.
Duggar children in a baby race
Opponents accuse the "Counting On" parents of wanton procreation and overpopulation. If the Duggars got flak for having so many kids, heads will explode over their projected number of grandchildren.
And the kids are fulfilling their familial duties on cue. Jill Dillard, Joy Forsyth, Jessa Seewald and Anna Duggar are all pregnant or just gave birth. Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell are engaged and can't wait to start baby-making.
Duggar parents endanger kids?
Whether it's good for the world or not, pushing rampant reproduction is dangerous for your family.
It increases miscarriage risk as the "19 Kids and Counting" strive to reach their quota. "Counting On" stars Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth may have even gotten a jump start. She's 4-5 months pregnant judging by Instagram baby bump pics. They were married three months at the pregnancy reveal and the wedding date was moved up.
Josh got Anna pregnant amid his adultery, pedophilia and incest scandal maybe to keep up with his siblings?
Duggars struggle with parenting
The only ones not running the baby marathon are Jinger Duggar Vuolo and her husband Jeremy Vuolo, but they'd better get busy. Some may be "Counting On" them to carry their share. Jana Duggar and her twin John David Duggar are still single. And what happens if some of the "19 Kids and Counting" turns out to be impotent or unable to have kids? Putting God and your kids to the test begs whether Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are fit to speak on parenting let alone grandparenting.
