Might not be food chubby yet..I breastfed my 4 of my 5 kids exclusively for their first 9 months, and they were all little fatties just from that. Our pediatrician suggested it because my oldest daughter had horrible allergies because I started her on food way too young. By the looks of her boys, maybe she should consult with an allergist (ha!) and not start them on food too soon. Looks like Spurge (ugh that name!) has allergic "shiners" under his eyes, and Henry has a snotty nose.

What if men took seriously, "a man that does not provide for his own is worse than an infidel?" I Tim 5:8 See Kevin Swanson’s sermon, “Suffer the children” Oh, my... I wonder if Derrick will ever twat this particular verse on Twitter? -
Besides the extra apostrophe, their last name was misspelled as well. Instead of Vuolo's, it says Voulo's. Poor Jinger has had her first name always misspelled, and now her married surname is problematic too. So maybe change it to The Dgugalo's. ;-)

Janelle Brown: Smarter Than Your Average Brown (Maybe)

Awww @Celia Rubenstein why don't you tell us how you really feel? Why do these people think they can grift like this? It must be the same delusion that makes people agree to be on reality TV in the first place. -

Oh, I agree on just a small family baby shower, if anyone wants to throw one. Some of the showers nowadays are way too elaborate. (Now get off my lawn) ;-) -
Wow the stuff you learn on P.tv. I always imagined New Hampshire being as flat as a pancake...guess not.

Something Unexpected: Seasons 1 and 2 Discussion
ChiCricket replied to Meredith Quill's topic in Unexpected
I was 16 and my whole family gave me a baby shower. I'm sure many of them didn't want to do it (this was back in 1969) but they knew the baby needed things. I'm sure the fact that my family never let a baby be un-celebrated helped them decide to attend. I'm so glad nobody raked me over the coals..it was hard enough being a teen mom. I'm sure my very racist German grandma was appalled I was marrying a Puerto Rican guy, though (but she welcomed my daughter with open arms) -
And they wouldn't even have to hide the baby's face later on.

For six thousand dollars, I could pay someone to slap the food out of my hand. -
Can't she just bake enough sweets to put him into a diabetic sugar coma?

Someone in a Facebook group said that Megan's best friend posted that's she's getting married tomorrow (I think.)

I used to like Whoopie, but now I think she's a big bully herself.

Ha! I first read this as a stampede of ELEPHANTS! (Maybe because I'm no skinny-minny myself) :) -
Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp
ChiCricket replied to frenchtoast's topic in Counting On
My two sons may have or may not have gone outside once or twice to pee on a (secluded) backyard tree..in the Illinois winter. -
Wouldn't it be nice to see them set up games like this at THEIR home church? I mean how much money would you have to spend on home made Jenga and corn-hole? Even I could make those.

Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp
ChiCricket replied to frenchtoast's topic in Counting On
Yes, I should have said I was referring to their old house. Heck, it's just my husband and me (I?) in our house now (and we've since added a bathroom) and I don't know how we survived when we had one bathroom and five kids. -
Because of his unfortunate kewpie-doll style hair line, Joe looks older than his FIL.

I don't see any chemistry between them at all. Maybe because of their beliefs, they haven't even kissed yet? (I don't know this to be true, I'm just speculating)

ChiCricket replied to frenchtoast's topic in Counting On
This is indelicate, but how do you even get to poop in a house with umpteen kids, one bathroom, and little to no natural fiber in what you eat? It's not like they can even wait until they go to school to do it..they were there at home all.dang.day. -

Ok..which one of you wrote this way back then?! Someone started snarking years ago. :) "Anonymous said... So what happens when your husband dies or loses his job? You then have no job skills, no recent work history, and a mortgage to pay and kids to feed. Life insurance and unemployment are never enough to last more than a year. So how, exactly, do you plan to get by when your source of financial support goes away? Husbands don't live forever. Jobs don't last forever. Unless you have a backup plan, you're stuck trying to make ends meet on welfare or church assistance--neither of which goes very far. ALL women should keep up their education and job skills in order to serve their families in times of crisis. Taking off a little time here and there to be with infants is understandable. But don't fall into the trap of letting job skills go to seed." -
Boy oh boy..just what I want someone to give me for Christmas...NOT

Yeah, very common in the Chicagoland area. You described it perfectly, that's all there is to it. In my family it's usually a beer-fueled "sport".
