Apparently this has just fallen off the Yahoo 'Most Emailed" list , so by now the story of the Duggler family and their 16 children has already made the rounds. I couldn't resist crunching the numbers on Michelle Duggar, though.
According to the AP report, she is 39, just gave birth to her 16th child, and had her first child when she was 21. Two pregnancies resulted in twins.
So over the course of 18 years, she's had 14 pregnancies. Assuming each pregnancy ran the full 40-week term, she's spent 560 of the last 936 weeks pregnant. That's 59.8% of her adult life.
In other words, she's spent more of her adult life pregnant than not.
Wow.
Scary.

What makes you think that woman is an adult? The adults I know postponed having children so they could get an education and make mature choices- like using a condom.
On the condom scale, that family collectively has the maturity of a 15 year old.
