If you can't say anything nice....

I would like to clarify that just because I live in Arkansas, homeschool have more than the accepted 2.4 children does not mean that I know the Duggers.

They seem like a completely wonderful, loving and stable family. I think that it is wonderful that they have such a large family. I have absolutely no problem with them having 19 or 25 kids. Really. I don't think they are freaks or crazy or stupid.

Yes, I know that MANY of you have a very different opinion of them and the chioces they have made. But my questions are these...Why do you care? What is to you?

I have heard SO many ugly comments made about them. And I just don't get it. They aren't asking you to do it. They aren't condeming you for not doing it. They are just trying to live a life pleasing to God.

So please...hear me say that I don't really care how awful you think it is. I hate hearing Christians bashing them. It make us look bad folks...looks real bad! Remember when your momma used to say.."If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Well, now would be a great time to put that into practice!!

I will now return you to your regularly scheduled programming!

hear hear! Well said. Please concentrate on your own family and leave other families alone...I have my hands full with two boys and that is enough for me and my sanity!

Love you girl!
