    The picture of Austin standing at the front of the church with a drink in his hand is so strange to me.  I grew up Catholic and you would never ever bring food and drink into the church.  Is it different in their denomination?  It just seems disrespectful. 

    I was raised Baptist and the sight of those hats on the males’ heads made my jaw drop.

    There’s a young filmmaker named Zanah Thirus who recently made a documentary about her life as a homeschooler. Her family is African-American and by my guess, fundie-lite. Zanah and her siblings were homeschooled, started community college at 14, obtained bachelors degrees by 18, and then masters degrees by like 20 or 21 years old. Though Zanah felt she was too young for college at that age, her siblings were happy with their experiences. It’s still mind boggling to me how families like the Rods and Duggars are so adamant about homeschooling and self-suffiency (for the males) yet leave their children so unprepared to make a living in the real world. There’s only so many store front preacher and Bible pilot jobs to go around. Ben ofJessa Seewald’s father made such a big deal about his son’s associate’s degree, but what is Ben doing with that degree all these years later? Is he still scrubbing Jim Bob’s toilets? 
     

    ETA: I only mention the doc, “Ready, Set, Adult,” because after watching it, “United Bates of America” showed up as something that “Customers Also Watched.” No thanks on that though lol.

    Michelle and the sisters all tried to make Josie have curlier hair too. But they used to slap a whole lot crap in it and scrunch it up.

    She used to put hand lotion in it. I remember because one episode, Michelle was away and Jim Bob was watching the kids. One of the howlers - Jackson I think - handed it to him and told him, “Mama uses this for Josie’s hair.”

    Unlike most here, I'm not a fan of the brother.  I get a vibe that he's yearning for the fame his sisters have.  

    I’m not either. I’ve noticed the little subtle shady comments he makes about Amy when he’s with Tammy and of course Tammy eats it up (Hee!).

    I laughed at Jerry nicknaming the baby 12 Gauge. Somehow, I’d rather him be named after a shotgun than a horror movie character. At first, I blamed Tammy’s lack of emotion towards her sister’s new baby on her not feeling well. But then I remembered she had plenty of emotion for Jerry. “Ah miss youuu. I’m gon’ keednap youuu!” Even if she wasn’t interested in the baby, at least pretend to be happy for your sister’s sake. My goodness. I can’t count how many fake, “Awww, how sweet is she/he?!” I’ve had to muster up for parents who have shown me unsolicited photos of their children. Get over yourself.

    The type of shirt Phillip is wearing (on a non-starving person) is supposed to fit like this.

    Even on a much younger child.

    It’s similar to the golf shirts that Tiger Woods wears and is designed to fit somewhat snugly on the body. That shirt is swallowing Phillip. Look how much the fabric billows, especially at the bottom and compare it to how it fits on the model. Of all the children, Phillip always looks the most unwell to me.

    Both my parents come from large impoverished families so my mom said her sisters frequently did her hair when my grandmother could not. However, my grandmothers were busy and overwhelmed. If Jill has time to take before and after pictures of Janessa and her assigned Brother-Mom, then surely she could’ve combed Janessa’s hair herself. It probably would’ve taken less time and effort than snapping the photos.
