See, I want my kids to all have the same father, not like the girl down the street who has three brothers that all have different fathers. If I give myself four more years, I'll have found someone to mate with that'll at least be like, tolerable, y'know?

Even the girls.
You mean like all of George Forman's kids, even the girls, being named George?

Well Kyle is a form of a gaelic word that starts with a C (Caol) So to me that makes sense. *shrugs*

I have a cousin who named her son Kyler (like Tyler but with a K). Altho Kyler is a real name. It's Dutch for Archer.

If you must spout pointless trivia at every chance you get, at least make sure it's not bullsh*t.

You're saying that like you were Dutch yourself, lol.

Out of curiosity, I checked this one over the net - Raph's Girl meant Danish, not Dutch.

Petty difference.

Only one of Foreman's is named after him: Georgetta. The other 4 have semi-normal names if I remember correctly.

Really? Maybe it is a myth, but I heard he did it because he didn't know his own father and so his kids would know who their daddy was, he named them all George.

Un-freakin-believable. I don't even want to have 1 kid, but 18??? A few of my good friends come from a family of 13 kids. That's the most I had ever heard of until now. Insane.

My bad, I meant of his five GIRLS only one is George(tta). But yes his 5 boys are all named George, but they all have nick names I think.

I've got a friend who's the middle child of 20 and she wants that many kids too. Insanity.

I knew this family in Germany. When I met em the parents had been married for 12 years and they had 12 kids (1 set of twins)... Last I heard they were up to 16...that was 15 years ago.

Go Jim Bob, seriously Jim Bob? On the picture it says "One big happy family" One big bankrupt family. I don't know what Jim Bob does for a living but I doubt he's a lawyer. I feel bad for those kids. Their all going to be uneducated working retail jobs in a family that huge, unless their parents want to co-sign on 18 college loans. Sounds like to me that making kids is more like a game to them now...great.

And when our time on Earth passes whatever lives here after we do will look back and go, "They were destroyed by over population because they played breeding games."

Yeah, that's one of the points I forgot to bring up. Were getting to the point that people need to start having LESS kids, I used to want atleast 2, but now I'm thinkin 1. Plus can you really love 18 kids they way a child need to be loved? I would hate the little sh**s, imagine trying to go out for a nice dinner at The Outback... not happening.

Raph's Girl had already posted on how the family make's it's living and how they are in no threat to be facing any financial depressions anytime soon.

Jim Bob Duggar is a former politician. He served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1999 to 2002. They're real estate agents and own several commercial properties. So they get money from that as well.

One or both parents are always around cuz their office is at their 7000 square foot house. And Im sure the oldest (he's 20) doesn't live with em anymore.
Not that I condone such actions. And can you imagine the family fued that will spew when inheritance is an issue!

I gonna have to agree with tothenines. It really seems because these people are in the spotlight they are having alot of kids as like a gimmick or something, or at least for the shock value of "holy crap they have 18 f*ckin kids!? Day-um!"

But if they are not doing it for a gimmick than God bless them and I wish them the best with their happy large family. But some how I wonder if they would have that many kids if they wheren't on TV.

The reason they're on tv is cuz when kid 16 was born it was all over the news. Everyone was like "OMG! They've got a gazillion kids!"...shock factor made them famous.
