Nine boys and
five girls plus mom, Michelle, and
dad, Jim Bob, make up the Duggar
Family. Sixteen family members in
one 2,450 square foot house! Imagine
the laundry, the dirty dishes…what
about trying to cook three meals
a day for that many people? What
about the financial responsibility?
How do the Duggar’s manage?
How can this young couple, married
19 years, not only take care of
14 children, but home school them
as well?
Advanced Medical
Productions has been invited to
the Duggar household in Springdale,
Arkansas to get an unprecedented
look at how this incredible family
works as a team to insure a happy,
healthy and balanced life for each
member. We’ll settle in for
several, busy days with the Duggars
and “walk in the sixteen sets
of individual shoes” as they
go about their daily tasks. We’ll
take a trip to the grocery store
with Michelle, ride in the family
“bus” to church and
watch Jim Bob and the boys work
on the new house they’re building
for their growing family.

The program will document the “real
life” of the Duggar Family from
the moment they wake up until they
go to bed. Using a verite style incorporating
camera crew footage with home video
and “diary cams”, we’ll
learn intimate details of this family
whose house is literally filled with
children!
For example:
Why do they only have one closet?
How much do they spend on groceries?
How much laundry do they do every
day? And who does it?
How can they support such a large
family?
How does each child feel about
being a member of such a large
family?
What do they do for fun?
Where does everybody sleep?
Do the kids ever get in fights?
How are conflicts settled?
How do you home school so many
different ages?
What happens when the kids are
old enough to drive?
“When
Jim Bob and I got married 19 years
ago, we didn’t expect to
have this many children….but
now, we think it’s possible
that we’ll have even more.”
Michelle
Duggar, mother of 14
