Unnecessary to have this many kids. Its not 1700 where you constantly reproduce because your kid has a 15% chance to live to 18. Older children forced to care for the younger because moms too busy getting knocked up. Thats a great childhood there. Force her to get an abortion. Terrible people like these two need force sterilization and prison time. Where is your god now?

..having this many kids is CRAZY!! I wouldn't be able to pick out that many names, let alone give birth that many times. But I must say it is refreshing to see that Jim Bob and Michelle don't mistreat their children and that the kids aren't spoiled brats. There is a lot of love in that family, and that is a huge missing element in families today. God bless them.

I love watching this show. And this is why I spent the $30 for the season pass. Yet the episodes are available on other websites like Amazon long before the episodes appear on Google Play. this happened all season and I am now regretting buying it on google play. I just don't understand why it takes so long for google to post the episodes but not other sites. I wish I could get a refund with how long I have to wait to watch new episodes.
