SpaghettiTuesdays

I believe it was Jackson. Michelle said he was good with the little ones. I don't think I caught the episode about James' birthday, but that's really heartbreaking. As if the kid didn't have a tough enough time already. :( I never really thought of this, though I don't know why. At least JD does have the motivation to go through on his dreams, like how he now has his pilot's license, or is at least in training. I would like to see a little more of Joseph. I feel like we don't really see what he does most of the time. He's over 18, right? Maybe he works with or for JD.

I agree with you there. Meant out of those who stayed. Should've clarified.

Not sure if it's allowed to post the link, but I found Susanna's FB page. Her daughter looks about 18 months - 2ish (and is super cute!). So I guess that's the time she left? The Keller girls are the ones I feel the worst for. Say what you want about Smuggar, but I think Anna got the best deal out of her sisters (the ones I know about, anyway).

I hate the editing out of things. It makes me feel like I've gone crazy. I swear they went to Pipe Springs in the "on the road with whatever kids" and I can't find that segment. It's seriously maddening. Anyway, I watched the "redneck water slide" episode the other day and was cracking up. I actually liked JB and his weirdness. He is an idiot but he loves his kids and loves to spend time with them, even if he has to dig up the lawn. In a different episode he said "we save a lot of money having our own backhoe". Exactly how much does he use this thing for them to save a lot of money? He kind of reminds me of the Roloff dad and his kooky plans.

I'm anxious to see how the other girls act if/when Jill gets pregnant. Not to beat a dead horse, but back to the Jenny-staying-over thing: I wonder if Jill is still doing homeschooling with them (if she's not the right sister-mom, someone please enlighten me)? Maybe now that she's out, she can help her siblings educate themselves as well. So, Jenny stayed over and Jill had a regiment for her (breakfast, school, chores, bath, dinner, bed)? My sister is much younger than I am and I love/d playing "house" with her and being her mom (I was in a similar situation, but there were only 5 kids, not 19) - a lot of the things she knows how to do, I taught her while playing house. So, maybe the kiddos are really benefiting from it. I don't know if bothers Derick or not (obviously) but I think having Jenny and maybe other siblings around makes Jill happy. Derick wants Jill happy (hopefully) so he's willing to go along for the ride.

IIRC, Mary moved in with Granddad Duggar when his health started going downhill. Maybe she stayed because she'd be lonely without him there? After her grief passed, she might have stayed for Joy-Anna, whom she seems particularly close with? She could have had a myriad of reasons to stay. I like to think she's a martyr who's trying to save at least some of her grandchildren. Hopefully, grandma takes Joy and maybe a few others out for a fun day every now and then.

I admit, I gave this show a first glance only because I was home alone and bored out of my mind. I actually really liked it. I didn't even know they were doing a season two until last week. My family gives me crap, but I really hate Norman and his family (wife and Leatha). I think that trio is so annoying. Destiny is my favorite, as well. I love her sass. I think she has the most personality and is the least annoying. Christina is my least favorite. That kid is a weirdo through and through and reminds me of this girl that sat behind me in gradeschool and used to sniff my hair. Blech.

The blizzard episode with the Native American guy and the random sheriff always got to me. And it's not terribly dark, but I was poor growing up so every time the Ingalls girls were made fun of for being poor, it was a dagger to my heart. :(

Watching 14 Children and Pregnant Again. The kids went over their jurisdictions and the boys often said "Boys' room and boys' bathroom" but then Jessa said she had to clean the boys' bathroom. Jana said she has the living room and her parents' room. WTH, Duggars? I will never understand you! (Parents, not kids. I believe the kids.) Why would Jana have to clean her parents' bedroom? There's literally only two grown people living in that room. Why can't JBoob or JChelle do it?!? That pisses me off.

I think the wedding was cute. I'm almost 23, so maybe it's my "youth", but I've been to three weddings so far this year (and have another two to go to!) and two of the three have resembled Jill's, although the ones I went to were a little more put together. The picture of the whole family seemed blurred to me, so I couldn't pick out as many details. Anna's chest is too large for that style dress (I should know - I'm "blessed" in the same area). She needed a v-neck to better suit that area, but she would never wear one anyway. As for children, I think Jill and Derrick will max out around six. I'm not sure the timing (although a baby or pregnancy by the end of next year wouldn't surprise me), as I think that newlywed life will be pleasant. I do predict that it will be difficult for Jill to adjust. I hope her sister's visit, although not too often and not overstaying their welcome. I think Derick will be kind and gentle and patient with Jill and whatever children they may or may not have, but I forsee him putting his foot down and keeping it down in regards to Duggar males (and JChelle).

I peg Jill as a trendy K.

Today's the big day! I bet they'll have the VSE out by Tuesday haha

I understand modesty, but JBoob swimming in cut off jorts had to be the worst. Imagine the chafing!

I cannot stand the selfishness of the parents. They don't "share" their kids with anyone. They group 24 year olds in with 4 year olds with little distinction. They were given plenty of opportunities they now deny their children. Their children will have difficult lives, and already have. They are neglectful just so they can seem like the perfect family. They all need to see a therapist.

We don't see too much of her these days. I'm wondering, like PP, if there wasn't a target put on her back from all of the Free Jinger stuff. I never got why people were Free Jinger when it should be Free Everyone over 18 who wants to leave that place.

Honestly, the one I felt the sorriest for was little Noah. I don't think they said where his bio mother was, but Aleah is his mom. I was heartbroken for him when she moved out, although I think it was the best decision she made for herself. I couldn't believe it when the boys (Shawn's brothers) were making all that noise in a house with a newborn and a toddler. Shawn's mother was definitely an enabler and reminded me of my aunt, whom I severely dislike. Speeding tickets and two unplanned pregnancies aside, I liked Shawn and felt he was one of the more responsible fathers on the show. I felt that he and Aleah had a good relationship and their communication skills were far superior to many of their peers, on and off the show. I hope the two of them worked through everything and could eventually get their own place, with both kids.

Jana! Oh, Jana! She's so done with that place. In last Tuesday's episode, she looked kind of down. I want her to go and be free and wear pants and do all the things she wants to do.

I liked this episode, for the Jill-Derrick stuff, finally seeing at least some affection between Benessa, and the little girls' plans to kidnap their sister-moms. Loved the side hugged. (I actually Loled in the preview for Tuesday's episode where JBoob was like "I see you're holding hands" or whatever, like it was some terrible thing). I had to laugh because I don't think Ben knows anyone's names. Jill's excitement over Derrick's arrival = too cute. I loved it. I'm also loving the littlest of the girls. There's been more Jordyn-Jenny airtime and I'm glad for it. Duggar Dinner Theater (I think that was this episode?) was cute until I remembered that most of these kids are old and not really kids. But for the little ones, it was nice.

I don't think Jill will get pregnant that soon after they marry. I expect at least a year before the big announcement (which is a "long time" in fundieland). She and Derrick have other things to do before they get saddled with a baker's dozen of kids.

I really liked the dynamic of Jill-Derrick in this episode, but there was still awkward moments. I loved how JBoob switched seats with Jill. As PP said above, "FU INTERWEBZ". Like we believe you, JB. Loved seeing more of Joy-Anna, though I wish we'd see her having fun like we did in the olden days. Poor girl. LOL JChelle spends one-on-one time with one of her kids. So tv-worthy.

Get your popcorn ready for some beating of the dead horse (benessa) and awkward situations with the Boob.

This reminds me of Sven from "Frozen". "What if you hate the way he eats?"

I thought they had been together for a month or so. Maybe I'm wrong.

This woman cracks me up. I cannot handle it. http://www.crushable.com/2014/05/01/entertainment/michelle-duggar-wants-to-have-more-babies-19-kids-and-counting/
