Michelle Duggar mpm of 18 kids

It's Mother's Day. So congratulations to all lovely moms. Have you bought your gifts? Not yet?! Oh, bad boy! But there is a mom in this world who is a mom of 18! So we should all congratulate this day to her also.

Mother's Day is a bigger deal to Michelle Duggar than most Moms.

The 41-year-old Arkansas woman is pregnant with her 18th child. Duggar says she is due on New Year's Day. The latest addition to the family will join seven sisters and 10 brothers, all of whose names start with the letter J.

The Duggars' oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months.

The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 650-square-metre home.

Duggar and her husband, Jim Bob, say they plan to keep having children as long as God wills it.

Duggar has been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.

The new show looks at life inside the Duggar home, where chores - or "jurisdictions" - are assigned to each child.

One episode involves a "jurisdiction swap," where the boys do chores traditionally assigned to the girls, and vice versa, Duggar said.

"The girls swapped jurisdictions, changing tires, working in the garages, mowing the grass," she said. "The boys got to cook supper from start to finish, clean the bathrooms," among other chores.

"The success in a family is first off, a love for God, and secondly, treating each other like you want to be treated," Jim Bob Duggar said. "Our goal is for each one of our children to be best friends, and everybody working together to serve each other makes that happen."

The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jennifer, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 16; Jessa, 15; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 7; James, 6; Justin, 5; Jackson, 3; and Johannah, 2.
