barbedwire

Again, I could only watch about 15 minutes of this carefully crafted crapfest (I couldn't get past the tree building part when Jinger said something to the effect that people are surprised that the girls build stuff. And when there is a project they all just jump in. I was trying to picture the boys jumping in and learning to do laundry to help out.) So lily white Bin wants to be an inner-city missionary? When I was done laughing, I had a question pop into my mind: did he do church like the Duggars? In other words, did he attend a home church with hand picked, special friends, we all must agree, attendees? If so preaching in the inner-city is going to be an even bigger shock to him. Whoever wants to come to church will come to church. No matter what they look like. Binny boy, the inner-city needs jobs, opportunities, people to clean up the neighborhoods and repair homes. That is what I imagine Jesus doing. Using His own money to give out free food. Will this be Bin's goal?

And Josie licking the dashboard clean.

I didn't watch so to all of you who took one for the team: Thank you!! Or you might still be asleep because even the reviews sound boring. One question: how does Anna check his social media if he keeps making fake accounts?

So when is it women's work and when is something not women's work? When is it acceptable to work outside the home and when is it not? They keep changing the rule book. I can't keep up.

They could do SO much with all of that free time they have. They could "preach" by being a light in their community: helping out at a woman's shelter, babysitting for a single mom that has to work, volunteering in a soup kitchen, etc. Instead they preach via their website, delete all posts/questions they do not like, and have the cleanest ceiling fans around. Ugh. Maxhell indeed.

Jingersnaps - not that I hope she snaps but LOL. I do hope that one day she can live in that big city she so desperately wants to. Can't Bin just tell Jessa that she must learn to cook for him? Aren't the fundy men in charge? Aren't the women told not to withhold? No wonder Jess picked him. "Do you have a spine?" "No? Perfect!"

"Mommy, my heart is to have a vasectomy so Anna and I don't have any more kids. I also want her to go to work on the weekends so we have more money coming in. I want my kids to go to a public school and I will surf the internet when and how often I please." Yes, that will go over big.

And because Joshy can be so open and honest with his parents. (Insert major eye roll here!)

Do you think this question will be answered: why didn't TLC instead of flying all of those Duggars down to CA, instead make a large contribution to Dillard mission? (I know, ratings.) It surprises me the leghumpers still make contributions knowing that the Dillards are getting a check for these t.v. appearances. And NO WAY will I ever believe cheapo JimBoob paid for his family to go visit Jilly and company.

That would be awesome!

AmericanAmigo - along those same lines, that is a good point. If the parents had taught them to garden they can use their free time, and they seem to have a lot of it, gardening. Then Bin can be more like JimBoob in the saving money department. Surely Jessa can wash and chop vegetables from a garden to make a salad, or am I hoping for too much.

And, the best part (though I did not watch all of this crapfest) was Jessa admitting, when they were discussing what time to tell the family to show up to eat, that when there is a meal that is when the Duggars can be on time!

Yes! That is exactly what I thought. That girl can smell a load of crap. None surprised that Jessa ended up sitting on the couch with baby while sisters did the cooking. Cooking is expected of her as a married woman (in their world) so the 11 months before she delivered Surgeon why didn't she learn to cook more than cousus (or whatever it was)?!

Is anyone discussing last night's episode? I did tune in for part of it, but another show about cooking for the masses, then eating off the paper plates with the added bonus of squishing into a small house and eating off your lap, welI I couldn't.

But her brother and his wife would have supported her. He said so.

Welcome! I too agree Anna would have been better off if she returned home to her family and let them help her. This will be her life from now on: "Where did that $40 go? I had it a moment ago? Did Josh take it and ....?" "He has been in that bathroom a long, long time. Is he looking at porn he had hidden somewhere?" "Why did he smile at that woman wearing short shorts? Oh wait, I cooked an extra greasy meal. He has gas. That was no smile."

26 and can't do laundry. Yikes! Well in their world he is suppose to be married already and have a 4 year old girl that can help mommy load the machine since she is pregnant and the 2 year old twins are down for a nap. Yeah, that is suppose to be his world. Jana must be thinking living at home, slaving away, is better than having a brood of her own.

That is what I think too - it is a co-dependent relationship and one thing ole JimBoob can do is bargain. "Don't ask me about where our paycheck goes and who gets what and I will drag my butt outta bed and be to the studio on time. I don't do that for just anyone!"

Moms! Learn how to get your kids to do all the work around the house so you can exercise in the morning and service your husband at night. Dads! Learn how to keep your daughters at home to do all the work so your wife is always ready for you!

Much more accurate from Joshy - he allowed Satan to come in. But since Anna never did that, can she be in charge now?

And "I help around the house."

No, not at all! I might not contribute a lot but I do SO enjoy reading the observations and commentary here. Besides, I can take a benadryi. :)

Oh dear God, no! A rod on the arms and legs?! That makes me sick.

In the Los Angeles area: my schedule says JJ is on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday but Thurs. and Fri. are basketball games. Gotta go - I am allergic to cats :)

Well Anna needs to learn to pick better for husband #2 ;)
