The world is so confusing. We are all about everyone being independent, making their own decisions, and being unique. But have you ever noticed how much everyone tries to push their beliefs and ideas on to others? By this I don't mean you shouldn't be able to talk about your opinions, but why when someone chooses something else that you don't necessarily endorse, is it wrong?
For instance, I am sure you all have heard of the TV show on TLC, "19 Kids and Counting". They live just upstate from us, we hear about them a lot. I don't think what they are doing is wrong or crazy. Believe me, they are doing the world a favor. If I could afford 19 kids and God blessed me with that many healthy babies, I would do it in a heartbeat. I think they are great parents and their children are a wonderful example of that. They have unbelievable patience, unshakable faith, and great morals. I think we all could take a lesson from them. They have the financial means to support that family, they are not without, where is the crime? What the world needs now is a great next generation.
I have heard that people were "angry" at the fact that this woman has had so many children and they think that because of that her last child was born premature, as if she had done this on purpose. Ignorance. Thousands of children are born premature everyday. So does society think that that mother should not birth another child because of that, NO! It is a miracle that so many babies are born at term as perfect as they are.
I would be lucky if I could raise my children to be that great of people. They have devoted their life to raising their children, made it into their job... Their life's work. Instead of climbing the ranks at some big company, they have decided to do this. So is a 19+ family for everyone? No. But if more people would take their life to raising their children and instilling morals into those small people, the world would be a lot better of a place. So what are they doing wrong?
She has fallen pregnant again. Due next April, Michelle, 45, calls her latest pregnancy a blessing. "Our whole family is so excited that God has blessed us with another child,". "Each one of our children are thankful to be here!".
There is a reason God is giving that family so many babies, because they are good at raising them!
So is it refreshing to finally have a "famous couple" that can stay married, raise great children and still appreciate a miracle? You're damn straight it is.
P.S. Women have children in their 40's all the time... It is not a crime. Don't believe me, check out your local infertility support groups.
