Michelle Duggar posting:
I can totally sympathize about the chores, I am sometimes overwhelmed with the laundry too and I've only got three kids.... but here's how to tell you have too many children: When hugging and kissing them becomes an unpleasant duty.
Here, kids, line up according to height, mommy will kiss you now, let's get this over with quickly today, no talking in the line. There's extra candy for those who don't need a hug today.
Hmm... maybe Michelle really is inadequate, just like she says.
From the Duggar website, entry on "jurisdictions":
For larger jobs, Jana, Jill, Jessa, and Jinger each head up a "buddy team."
When it comes to jurisdictions, Jill is the family secretary. Jessa is the family organizer and administers the kids' school assignments. The older boys are in charge of the yard and fireplace. The girls make lunch and supper, and everyone helps clean up. Other jurisdictions include maintaining the kitchen, clothes' closet, upstairs hallway, living room, dining room, and playroom. One of the little tikes is in charge of rounding up the laundry, and another is responsible for emptying the various garbage bins throughout the house and disposing of the trash in the dumpster outside.

Seems like Michelle would have a little energy left for hugs but maybe it's reserved for Jim Bob.
Oh, and this:
Do the kids help out with housework?
Michelle Duggar: Everyone has jurisdictions, or chores, in our house. We all have our areas where we are responsible.
There might be two or three people in the laundry room. We team up and we have buddies that work together in certain areas, so that the older buddy might be in charge of the kitchen, and the younger one might help put away the dishes. The older one would put things in the oven, you know, help boil the noodles, the younger one can go to the pantry or get stuff out of the freezer.
