New season of 19 kids and Counting preview

myheromyworld89

Now I'm not a huge fan of the show, I don't watch it very often.  I think the Duggars seem like excellent people and loving parents, although I feel that it's irresponsible for them to continue having children.  But I start crying everytime I watch the preview for the new season because it shows clips from when they find out they lost their most recent baby.  I can't imagine that kind of pain or disappointment, especially losing the baby almost half way through.  Whether I agree with their lifestyle or not, no parent should have to ever have to experience that.

I think it's crazy they are still having kids, but the family seems very happy and close. It is really tragic about their loss. Although with only two miscarriages after that many pregnancies she has definately beat the odds.

I saw the preview for the first time a day or two ago.  I wanted to cry for them, too.  Having had a loss, I know that pain, but seeing Michelle cry her heart out in that preview just really hurt my heart.  And to have to grieve publicly like that must make it more difficult.  I don't live my life the way they do, but to me, they seem like good people.  In any event, losing a pregnancy is one of the most heart wrenching experiences, and I'm so sorry for them to have suffered it.

I just saw the preview. Made me want to cry! I have lost two but not that late into the pregnancy. I cannot imagine the pain they went through. My losses were completely devastating to me. I am impressed with how strong they are and how tight of a family they have. I don't agree with some of their choices, but I am sure others don't agree with some of the choices I have made or make. I hope that didn't come across snarky because that was not my intention.

I personally don't want 19 kids, but as I've said before, their children seem to be extremely well behaved and well rounded. They seem to be happy children and are well taken care of. They have definitely raised 19 kids better than some people can even raise 1. My heart goes out to them. I can't even imagine losing a baby half way through. Just goes to show how thankful we should be for every milestone and really how thankful we should be for every day that are babies are growing and thriving.

I feel terrible for her, because I'm sure it's devastating no matter how many kids you have.

But OMG... I watch a lot of TLC and have already seen that commercial 20 times, and I'm not sure I can handle much more. I watch things like "Say Yes to the Dress" as a mindless escape, it's hard to be reminded of babies dying at every.single.commercial.break.

Maybe it's a sign that I should watch less TV, lol.

I think that family is awful and I don't feel bad for her, it is extremely irresponsible to have that many children, not only because there is no way you could give each child the personal attention that they deserve, but also b/c she is risking lives (hers and baby's) with each pregnancy.  Shame on her

That is the most insensitive and cruel thing I have ever heard.  Have you ever lost a child?  It is the most devastating thing you could ever experience.  How dare you say such hateful things.

I actually have and it was extremely beyond devastating.  but, i'm not trying to have 20 children, or even 10.  It is extremely sad for the loss of life of the child,  but I do not feel sad for her because at that point it's just plain irresponsible.

I am very sorry for your loss....I just can't imagine that someone who has had that experience doesn't feel bad for her.  No matter what choices people make, no one deserves that.  Plus, they feel a conviction that the Lord will prevent them from having children when the time is right.  Are you really going to judge them for that?  They have 19 beautiful and healthy children that have had a wonderful upbringing, they should be praised for their parenting, not trashed.  I teach in a public school and you should see the way some parents treated their kids like trash.  I wish there were more parents out there like the Duggars.

 I don't plan on having 20 kids either, but I'm certainly not going to condemn their choice as long as they are good parents.

 Wow.  Cold heart.
