  1. Thanks to the people who provided links to the info about the show coming up. I saw this comment....Viewers also get an inside look at Jessa’s dramatic labor and delivery and her first days at home with her newborn son....and thought...WTAF? So there was a crew FILMING this kid's home birth with inadequate assistance....and Jessa had to be taken to the hospital because of blood loss? Yeah. TLC needs to find some moral code or something (because these people who sell their souls to be on reality TV sure won't draw any boundaries). Is nothing sacred?
  2. Thank you for sharing. It really helps to understand why this family acts the way they do...a d it leads me to believe that ....barring a miracle, those kids will never get out from under the thumb of that cult. I just hope the cult topples from within. I'm glad the woman in the video was able to escape...but her story leads me to believe that the mental brainwashing makes it very hard..
  3. Poor child, to be tagged with a name like that. I feel that a name defines you, and it's pretty darn important that we as parents owe it to our children to give them a name that is strong, a name that they would be proud to have. Somehow I doubt this child will feel proud to carry his name. I'm guessing he'll be called Eliot.
  4. Just wanted to say that I love reading all your posts... These few weeks I've been a bit busy...studying for an important (to me, for my career) exam. If I don't pass, I'm out 300 bucks and have to pay another 250 bucks to take it again. Meh. Ive been cheating and taking breaks to lurk and read your posts. You all make me laugh and cry....I'm so soo sorry about all the recent lossess here. Life can be a bitch sometimes....it's hard sometimes to get up and brush yourself off and keep moving. In so glad there's an outlet here to help.
  5. I just wanted to say that I enjoy reading all your comments...and I just want to cry thinking of all that poor young woman went through. How could her parents let her have her first child at home? (I just feel that Jessa and Ben are/were too naive to know better). I hope Jessa and her little baby are ok. I still feel terrible for those poor kids, and their parents need to rot in the seventh level of hell for warping the minds of those poor kids.
  6. Thanks for the info. I just bought the book. I've heard about this, but don't know too much about it. I do know a bit about unwed mother's homes and how a lot of young mothers were forced to give up their children.
  7. Oh, as to Thanksgiving food...I'm not a good cook AT ALL...but I'll eat anything:D and Halloween? Yeah. I got a high bag of candy last week and it's almost gone. Yay for Walgreens putting out Halloween candy in September! I'll eat any kind of candy, I don't care. As to holidays...I have a confession to make. I'm a recluse. I hate get togethers. So, I work for people on the holidays and tell my friends I can't do Christmas or Thanksgiving or whatever...I'm so bad:D
  8. I comment occasionally... but I read posts here a lot, I enjoy reading all you guys have to say. I'm sorry about WW. I confess, no red flags went up for me, and they should have. I work in healthcare, I'm a respiratory therapist...but I don't work with kids. I recall asking her one question about being in the NICU, because it sounded off, but her answer made sense to me...I haven't worked in a NICU in years, I work with adults...have worked in hospitals that only have adults since 2007. I have 2 accounts, but I'm not a sock puppet, honest. I had to create another account when I closed my FB acct (i had my login linked to my FB acct...and couldn't access it after I deactivated my old FB acct. Sooo, I had to create a new one, same user id, just with a period. Sorry for the wall of text, I just feel that I needed to clarify...and to those who were upset and scammed by the fake person, I'm sorry.
  9. Oh, my. So Wanderwoman isn't real? That's sad. I fell for it. I didn't donate anything, though. I was going to, but didn't.
  10. I can't answer for Derick, but my son had a palate expansion plate before he had braces. However, my son was about 11 when he had that done. He was still growing. I'm guessing that if you are an adult, its much harder. I had the same issue as my son did (high and very narrow palate) but when I was finally able to get braces at 17, it was too late to do what they did for my son. I had 4 teeth removed instead. I did notice a difference with my son when the palate was expanded but it was subtle and actually looked better. I don't know what an adult would have to go through.
