I'll admit it....I do watch the show. When Michelle and Jim Bob first married they were using birth control. I believe after her first or second pregnancy she had a miscarriage. And they believe it was due to the birth control and chose to not take it anymore. Yes, they say if its God will to have children they will continue to do so. And all the children (at least the ones old enough to understand) believe the same thing.
I think its amazing to watch this family because with that many children you'd think it would be total chaos all the time. Sure they get excited and run and scream like any other kids. But overall they are very well behaved, especially in public. With the show they travel a lot. And it's always a learning experience trip. Not just an amusement park or something. In fact, the last episode I watched they were in Washington, DC and visited the white house. And then they went to the shelter (I can't remember the name. The place where Michelle Obama served food.) and helped prepare and serve food to those who needed it. And also helped gather clothes for the people that needed them. They are definitely not selfish people (with the exception of the show itself).
