    Four Reasons Michelle Duggar Is an Amazing Mom

    That fact that Michelle Duggar has birthed 18 kids boggles my mind. But, it isn't the delivery that is the difficult part of having so many children, it's raising them! Whether you love the Duggars or are bewildered by them, it takes about two minutes on the phone with the woman who has been pregnant for a collective twelve years to be in awe of her calm demeanor and genuine love for her offspring. Check out our slideshow for links back to our entire interview with the mom of many and learn the four reasons lilsugar thinks she's such an admirable lady!

    i love the duggars and i need to go buy their book. hard to believe that michelle mowed the lawn in her bikini! interesting to know that she once lived a (somewhat) wild life and has come full circle. i think it's great they are raising their kids with a sense of morality (even if it is to the extreme end of what the rest of us abide by). but, the kids seem happy and i'm looking forward to watching them grow up. there are enough wild and 'bad' kids out in the world - it's nice to see sweet kids for a change.

    It's interesting, the frustration and anger people have towards this family. It seems so misplaced. They are obviously healthy, happy, productive people not HARMING society. So what's the issue? I don't it.
    I'm more fascinated with all the people who think they are "creepy" and irresponsible and absolutely certain they are messing up their kids. How are you so certain? It seems to me having 18 kids is very much a choice and use of free will. Lots of blanket statements and assumptions.
    I find this family to be quiet refreshing. You have to admit. They are happy. It really seems genuine to me. Miss Skeptical. So whats the problem. They're different?

    THANK GOD AMERICA SOMEONE IS FINALLY SPEAKING OUT ON HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO RAISE YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CHILDREN IN THE LORD. GOD IS AWESOME! JESUS IS AWESOME! THE PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT IS AWESOME! GOD, JESUS AND THE PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT GIVE LIFE ALL OF ITS PURPOSE AND REASON AND THEY SHOW US HOW TO LOVE. PEOPLE DON'T MAKE AMERICA GREAT! IT IS THE GOD OF COUNTRY THAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY, THIS NATION, THIS WORLD GREAT. OUR FREEDOMS TO HAVE CHILDREN, TO LOVE, LIVE TO GROW ARE GIVEN TO US THROUGH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD SHED BY JESUS! I AM SO HAPPY FOR THE DUGGERS BECAUSE THEIR HAPPINESS COMES FROM THE LORD NOT MAN! GOD BLESS YOU DUGGERS AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES THE TRINITY. I HOPE YOU HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN DUGGERS AS GOD WILL GIVE YOU. GOD BLESS!
