Heathen

I'd call it incredibly boring, and no wonder Nathan looks either bored or irritated in all the photos. Maybe Nathan's acne will improve during his pregnancy.

I think he's just given up. Nurie looks like she bought her top in the Granny Wear section.

I wonder if any Rods can pronounce "quiche." It reminds me of an old cartoon of George W. Bush in which he's at a restaurant and orders a "quickie."

That bar is so low, earthworms have trouble with it!

She's either pregnant or trying to wish it into reality by shoving her nonexistent belly out. Nathan looks like a total doofus with his tie hanging four inches above his belt. Somewhere, Clinton Kelly cringes.

That's an interesting concept, and I don't disagree with you. What makes you think Smuggar would have made a successful pastor?

I was trying to place that. I wonder where she bought it.

Ignore, didn't make much sense after I wrote it.

Jed creeps me out nearly as much as Smuggar does. He's a greasy oily know-it-all Duggar ass, but there is something else that gets me about Jed.

IIRC, Claire's siblings are well spaced out, too (not in the pothead sense, although that would be funny). I think most of them were at least two and a half years apart if not more. Hopefully, Claire inherited her mother's relative, for fundies, lack of fertility. I agree the younger D kids who don't remember life before TV money might be in for a rude awakening someday.

Idk. Steve may be a tightwad and he is a jerk, but I think he'd be more inclined to toss the pillows and buy new ones than, say, Jim Bob or Gil Bates. If only for health reasons -- Steve strikes me as a health nut with his hiking, off/on nutritarian diet, and so on. That's praiseworthy (ha).

I thought it was a pregnancy announcement, too.

That's too confusing for Jill; that's why she said "that language."

Jill's raised enough of her siblings already. She doesn't need to become Justin's caretaker, or anyone else's for that matter.

I doubt Shrek can, either.

Timmy's chin reminds me of Kurt Cobain's. Not that any Rod kid would ever have the slightest clue who Kurt Cobain was.

Forgive me. I don't have children, but I've never seen that on my nieces, nephew, or brother.

I agree with your assessments. I think Claire has classic features that will age well. Justin also looks better than his older unmarried brothers -- especially creepy wannabe politician twin -- so they make a cute baby couple. I got a little too curious and looked up Claire's grandmother's obituary (she died of an unnamed cancer). There was a photo of her that showed she aged well, although she was not old when she died. The obituary was religious-themed but not bible-thumpery like you'd expect from a Duggar adjacent/IBLP/Gothard person. https://www.arkansasonline.com/obituaries/2012/jan/28/shirley-spivey-2012-01-28/

Claire's siblings are well spaced out. The two closest in age are two years, two months apart. This bodes well. Justin looks more like Dad Spivey than he does his own parents.

Is that thrush on the baby's tongue?

Did the lovebirds get caught doing something scandalous, like holding hands?

The Duggars can have their very own super-spreader event.

"Man"? He looks like he's thirteen! Does he even shave yet?

There's a Justin? He is one odd-looking Duggar, and she looks like his much older sister. Notice that article omits both their ages.

That's certainly not exclusive to fundies. I wonder if Timmy will end up like an Arndt, living at home well into his thirties and beyond. I can see Jill letting the girls marry because 1. Less competition at home; and 2. Grandchildren to glorify Jill.
