Now here is an example of true stupidity and ridiculousness that makes one's jaw drop... Sounds like someone was having a CHICKEN POX party and it worked. Conveniently mom was out of town...she doesn't want to get infected as having chicken pox later in life causes STERILITY. Here goal is to have endless children...she already has 19...where is a psychologist and Child Protective Services?
A Dozen Duggars Sick with the ChickenpoxBy Mike Krumboltz, Yahoo! Buzz | Friday, August 20, 2010, 2:37 PM
Duggar Family
You don't have to be a parent to know that a sick child can be, well, a bit hard to handle. Now imagine having 19 children, 12 of whom are suffering from chickenpox at the same time. Welcome to the wonderful world of the Duggar family.
RadarOnline.com scored an exclusive clip from the Duggar's reality show, "19 Kids and Counting." In the video, father Jim Bob Duggar explains how the outbreak started with daughter Johanna. One thing led to another, and now 12 of the kids are sporting itchy red spots.
What makes the story all the more impressive (or maybe terrifying is the right word) is that Jim Bob is handling the crisis without his partner in crime. Wife Michelle is with their littlest child, newborn Josie, in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The mom wisely thought it best to keep the little one away from the infestation. As followers of the Duggar saga are no doubt aware, Josie was born prematurely at just 25 weeks. To help her grow and fight off illness, she has to live in "a little bubble" for the first two years of her life.
ET Online reports that members of the show's camera crew had to call their own moms to find out if they had already had the illness. Once you've had chickenpox, you're immune from future outbreaks. There's also a chance this won't be the last time the Duggars will have to deal with an outbreak. They've gone on record as saying they would welcome a 20th child.
You can check out Radar Online for a look at the clip, or see the entire episode on Tuesday on TLC. It's guaranteed to make your own life look a little less stressful.
