I'm aware of all that, but if the Duggar kids can learn to parent differently and dress differently than their parents did, they can learn to work, too. Mullet checked out long before it was time to educate her kids. She checked out when she had her "laundry room breakdown" and realized she could manipulate other people into doing the (literal) dirty work for her.

Ladd Drummond also has a college education. The Duggars' bigger problem is laziness. Not one of the Duggar kids, as far as I can tell, inherited Jim Bob's work ethic. Yes, I know what they are now, but Jim Bob and Mullet worked hard when they were starting out.

My great-grandmother married at barely 16 and had her first a year later. She had her thirteenth child 27 years, nine months later, the same year three of her daughters had babies (my grandmother's second). She had her eleventh child the same day the first grandchild was born. Back to topic: All the Caldwell females look happy, and so does Mr. Caldwell. I like Kendra's dress.

Probably pyometra. I'm happy that Sarah has something that is hers alone, that the dog is apparently well-cared for except not having been spayed a long time ago, and that no Maxwell will benefit financially from Ellie.

It's not that unusual in big families where women start having babies at a young age. It's neither weird nor creepy.

There are plenty of people whose homes don't have a hallway. I've lived in six states and rarely had a home with a front hall. You just deal with it. Jill is following her idiot parents' example. Parents first, kids dead last.

The darker hair and fake tan are aging her. She'd look a lot better with lighter hair and natural skin. Ask me how I know.

I would say it's a combination of shallow and not very bright. I know a woman who uses the same constant emojis and hashtags on her posts. She is a language arts teacher with a master's degree! She's living proof that formal education does not make one smarter.

Fixed it for you -- no way Jilly will spend her own money when she can spend someone else's instead.

Pilot training on the cheap. That plane looks like something the Wright brothers built later in life. The way the Rodriguii lie, I wouldn't be surprised if Tim's "solo flight" was actually just handling the controls for a few minutes while his instructor hovered over him. Nuri's wedding will be a freak show. They don't want her!

When the change was made uptown and the Big Man joined the band...

No, that was her reasoning for Mackynzie's home birth.

Ofchris Maxwell is from a family as fundie as the Maxwells, if not more so, but I think I've seen Melanie wearing floor-length skirts as well. I feel like Ofchris announced her pregnancy so early to compete with Melanie. No way those women don't have some pregnancy numbers rivalry going on even though Melanie is significantly older than Ofchris and has had a neonatal loss as well as a couple miscarriages.

Maybe he's named after R. Dale Earnhardt. (The things you learn when surfing Wikipedia.) Most of the new parents I know have gone trendy (Aidan, Mason, Bella, Brielle are some recent choices) rather than old school. I do know a toddler Lawrence who is named after his twenty-year-old father. I bet Smuggar wishes he'd had a down-low V after Michael was born. That was the last birth Smuggar seemed enthusiastic about.

Fixed it for you.

Kids are born on the toilet all the time. Michael's delivery wasn't botched or a screwup. It was just odd. Jill's and Joy's deliveries were botched.

Michael's birth on the commode wasn't a screwup.

His hormones probably got him all discombobulated. Fundie men must go around hiding their wood a lot.

Austin doesn't appear to be balding, but he wears ball caps a lot, including, infamously, in the delivery room. I'd say it's a combination of some men are balding and some just have no manners.

In all fairness, Presa Canarios have a substantially different temperament and cultural history than golden retrievers. That warrants the extra caution. I know a vet who shows and breeds goldens (she also sells fresh and frozen sperm). I don't like her one bit, but that's a different story. She does thorough OFA and other testing on her dogs, and they can sell for thousands of dollars and are usually spoken for before conception. I don't find $2000 per dog to be an uncommon price. Back on topic: I don't know whether to be disgusted that someone is breeding dogs for money or pleased that Sarah Maxwell has something that is hers and not "the Maxwell family's."

Deena, not Deanna. Deanna is Jim Bob's sister. "I often have businesses message me to collaborate." Uh huh.

I count four Duggar spawn wearing baseball caps indoors. Tacky even in the South, unless you just came inside or are "fixing" to leave.

My extended family took a group shot at the cemetery for my great-grandmother's burial. It's not uncommon.

I have to give Ben and Jessa credit for one thing. I think they really do love their kids.

Anybody notice the Michelob ad about halfway through? lol
