As my toddler would say, "ewwie." You go, Jinger! Birth control will set you freeeeeeeeee!

On the one hand it's awful that Derrick outed himself as a bigoted piece of shit. But on the other hand, the outrage this has provoked is just plain odd to me. Is this a surprise that a member of the Duggar clan--perhaps the most heinous, hypocritical, morally bankrupt family to ever appear on television--feels this way? Of course not. And why is it somehow acceptable that he feels this way, as long as he keeps it to himself? It's not. Bottom line is that everyone knows exactly what the Duggars are. They--and people like them--make our modern society demonstrably worse, whether they loudly tweet bigoted hate speech or quietly vote against civil rights and donate money to hate groups like Rapey Josh's old clan. Anyone who truly feels like this family needs to go away should stop watching, plain and simple. Post outraged messages all you like but until this show stops making money these people and the vitriol they spew will not go away. And until enough people stop watching, this show will continue to make money for the powers that be. Put your viewership where your mouth is.

Agree. Unless it's a Jana engagement/wedding, I just don't see anyone giving a crap. I'm bored senseless of all these engagements/weddings/babies but when it's Jana's, hell, I'll buy ten issues of People and a gift off her freaking registry (perhaps a $20 Cracker Barrel gift card? Oh so classy.). I'd be so damn excited for her to escape these psychos. FREE JANA.

I'm pretty sure if there were a Family Feud question "we surveyed 100 people, where's the worst place to propose?" that "someone else's wedding" would get you about 95 points.

Yes but time goes by slowly when you're thinking about sex every second of every minute of every day.

I admit I'm Team Kardashian (and Team Jenner Girls, apparently) here, if that's where the dividing line has been drawn. Caitlyn cares about Caitlyn, and Caitlyn only. The fact that she was totally fine to just bow out of her young children's lives tells me all I need to know. I don't care what kind of personal turmoil you're going through, that's something only a garbage person would do.

Can we all stop saying "the hottest Duggar boy"? Hottest implies that a bunch of them are varying degrees of hot. Can we say "least repulsive Duggar boy?" Thankyouverymuch.

Pooping during the pushing stage of childbirth is so common it's a non-event. As my OB told me a couple years ago, "if you're not pooping, you're not pushing right."

My son's hair used to be curly like that as a baby and I loved to keep it a little long like Spurgeon's. My grandmother would always say he looked like a girl and she didn't like it. ☹️ My grandmother is kind of a nasty old bitch.

Why all the focus on "Meri needs time to process this, it's not what she expected the future to be like"? It's not like she is super close with her daughter and is now bummed about not having late nights popping popcorn and talking about men. Maybe Meri should stop being bothered by her daughter's sexuality and start being bothered by their shitty distant relationship, and trying to fix it (that's if her narcissism will even allow her to admit that any of the blame lies with her). And too bad for Meri, Mariah is an adult now so just telling her "hey, you're going to stop being mad at me!" ain't going to cut it. As a mother of two boys I wouldn't mind at all if they were gay but I wouldn't be able to sleep if I had the type of relationship with them that Meri has with Mariah.

Good for Mariah. And good for the parents in being accepting of her (although it's kind of a bare minimum expectation, IMO. If you cut off your kid for being gay you're pretty much the world's biggest shitbag). Mechelle and Jim Boob Duggar surely wouldn't let any of their kids come out on national television. So yay Browns, you're definitely not the shittiest family on TLC!

I've always thought it was weird that Kody wasn't attracted to Christine for a long time after they met (the dumbass admits this). Christine, IMO, is by far the most attractive of the wives. Her personality is also the best. It's just pretty nuts that a guy who was married to Meri and Janelle, who are pretty damn unappealing in every way, found Christine lacking in the looks department.

There's a warrant out for Adam's arrest for failure to pay child support. What a steaming pile of human garbage.

Just saw the episode and God, Brianna has become completely intolerable to me. Your mom (who was fucking airlifted away from an accident) is embellishing? Oh, okay, pot meet kettle. I'm no huge fan of Vicki's but seems like Brianna gets bothered whenever Vicki doesn't behave like Brianna's perfect nanny/caregiver/bank 24/7. Like a few weeks back when Brianna was feeling sick and made it seem like Vicki was awful for going to work. Bitch, those are YOUR kids, they are you and your husband's responsibility. (Not to mention the fact that, in that episode, Vicki was making sure Brianna was set up before she left and presumably cleaned up/helped out a ton when she got home from work). Can that ungrateful asshole just once say thank you and not treat her mother like nothing more than a punchline? Oh and Michael sucks too.

I couldn't even snark if I wanted to. This is just horribly, horribly sad. She is a truly horrible human being.

Ashley is psychotic but if I were Caila I would blame Jared for that whole debacle. He (1) indulged Ashley's crazy by telling her that he agreed with what she was saying, (2) ran to Caila and dumped all this hearsay bullshit on her, then (3) left her alone to clean up the mess by confronting his nutjob "friend." He fucking loves being in the center of a cat fight (does he think they might...kiss? Seinfeld shout out, what what!). He's horrible. Caila should say to Jared "I'm not going to defend my feelings for you to your mentally unstable stalker. If you are going to be listening to every poisonous thought that she plants into your head in an attempt to break us up, I'm not interested in dealing with your ass." Then ignore Ashley completely. Stop letting Jared and Ashley play games with you as a pawn, stand up for yourself like a grown ass woman.

I wonder if Jill still hasn't ovulated since she's breastfeeding, and that's why she isn't knocked up yet. I didn't ovulate until almost a year and a half after my older son was born. It's nature's way of spacing out pregnancies. Oh, I'm sorry, God's way.

In a way I feel bad for Tyler with regard to the issue of Catelynn's weight (although it's horrible to bring the term "heifer" into it, Christ). She has completely stopped trying even to appear remotely healthy. It seems like no matter what approach he takes to "gently" bring it up, nothing works. And I know it's controversial but I do feel that spouses owe it to each other to put it some effort with regard to this stuff. It's also pretty disturbing to hear her ask whether or not they're going to have a big family, because if they are then screw it, she's going to be really obese until they're done having kids?That's a horribly unhealthy way of looking at it.

Kailyn is insufferable. Even if Isaac hadn't bathed in fucking weeks and was wearing a filthy pajama top (and it sounded nowhere near this level), is that really the biggest potential source of this kid's embarrassment? Really? Not his mom's naked tatted up body on Snapchat getting the fat sucked out of her neck and inserted into her ass by a guy named Mr. Miami? The fuck? Edit: Whoops, Dr. Miami.

Maci's kids are going to be on this season...apparently her rationale is that "they're already affiliated with the show" so the damage is done or some such nonsense. Or maybe it's because the producers actually called her bluff and told her she can't film without them and Maci realizes she has no other options in life except to sell out herself and her children. In general I find Maci to be maybe the most insufferable of both franchises because she is seen as this "great mom." She freaked out about Farrah joining the show, saying that if undermined the great "message" of the show. But last time I checked the message has nothing to do with porn/why kids shouldn't do porn. It has to do with being responsible/educated/in a stable relationship before getting knocked up. Farrah has lots of flaws but that's one thing she's managed to avoid whereas (still!) uneducated Maci wants to get pregnant by any guy she has dated for five minutes.

I'd bet good money that the name--or at least more info about the delivery--is released tomorrow (Wednesday). Usually on Wednesday People announces the week's cover story to build hype for the issue (if a celebrity is releasing baby pictures, for example, they'll release like one or two pictures on Wednesday and a small snippet of information inside the article). It then hits the stands on Friday.

Uterine massage is standard after delivery. It hurts quite a bit too if you're not numb. I'm seven months pregnant with my second child and this whole thread is reminding me how much labor hurts and how frightening the bleeding, etc. afterward can be. I feel terrible for these girls that they were raised to believe that giving birth in a hospital is somehow lesser. If Jessa had been born into a normal family she probably would have been in a hospital and the bleeding could have very easily been dealt with. I can't even imagine how terrified she was lying there in her bed completely helpless.

Yes Leah, it's all about hurting you. Because Lord knows most judges (especially in West Virginia of all places) are conspiring with the fathers to take custody away from the mother. For fuck's sake you can be a wonderfully competant baby daddy fighting a complete crackhead baby momma and you will still have a hell of a time getting custody, especially in super conservative states.

Leah is god-awful. She acts as though Corey should worry and carry as much as about her "needs" and "issues" as those of his children. He's worried about them killing themselves making toast alone and she's like "I might have had NARCOLEPSY! Why aren't you worried about me?!" Bitch, even if you have narcolepsy you still need to ensure your child's safety rather than crying all the time about what a victim you are. I'm sure people who have narcolepsy and small children have safeguards in place to make sure their children aren't ever in potentially mortal danger. They don't just throw their hands up and cry about how hard their lives are. And, of course, she doesn't even have goddamn narcolepsy. It's called drug addiction-itis, Leah.
