this is a mental illness called muchausen syndrome. or a form of it. it has nothing to do with religious fanatacism. and it stems from michelle. not jimbob. she was a popular pretty young girl and i believe had a small familiy so she got lots of attention. she had her first few kids and had to do all the work (i'm betting) and it was all about the kids (as it should be) and she was exhausted and no longer the woman of the house. so she started having child after child and quickly created an indentured servant/child abuse system where the older children raised the younger children and she remained pregnant and resting with her feet up while the oldest ones did EVERYTHING. the oldest children have no lives and certainly have had no childhoods. they are simply a number. their identity is not known. they just blend in. by nature, women are NOT supposed to be getting pregnant every year. if you breat feed it would take at LEAST two years to get pregnant again and sometimes three. mother nature is very smart and wouldn't allow women to have babies every year because it would be too hard for the family to survive and mother nature is all about survival. if you're breastfeeding you're not going to be ovulating and not likely to get pregnant. it takes two full years after birth for a woman's body to get back to it's form before being pregnant. and obviously at age 2 a child can walk and sort of feed itself...etc...michelle is NOT breastfeeding. she is weening the babies within weeks and of course the children are bottle feeding the babies and getting up at all hours and changing diapers. not michelle. she is a troubled, troubled woman and abusive in her own quiet way.
