  1. Is it weird that I think they all look normal in this picture? Even JB and Michelle. It looks like any other family pic that is posted this time of year.
  2. I will preface this comment by saying that I’m on my way to the prayer closet. Pumpkin pie and wine by my side. If a Duggar bride is on her period for her wedding night, the “experience” may actually be more comfortable. I have no confidence that any of these grooms ensure that the women are “ready” before they start.
  3. Churchhoney, you are right at always. The Duggars are no longer 2 adults with 19 children. Over half of the children could be working either full or part time (Jed and Jeb are teens old enough to work part time). The family would be fine if everyone who could work was, in fact, working! Maybe the planes would have to be sold and no more McMansions, but seriously, this family is not destitute.
  4. Oh dear god. Can you imagine those arms reaching out to you for some "sweet fellowship" in the middle of the night? That is what nightmares are made of.
  5. The baby is cute. The scenario that makes the most sense is a home birth (possibly precipitous?) followed by postpartum complications. Maybe uncontrolled postpartum hemorrhage or significant repair requiring surgery. Hopefully baby was sent in the ambulance with Jessa. My hope is another Duggar daughter birth with complications will slow these young women (and men) down. Seriously their mom was an aberration. Most women cannot safely give birth every 18 months for 25 years. We are not made for that.
  6. Yep. And they are the only ones who have "sweet" and "awesome" husbands that total up their grams of protein and help them exercise.
  7. It is clear from Amy's not so subtle plea for gifts and money that grandma Duggar and Deanna are grifters just like Jim Bob. If they had any class, they would have shut Amy down. Now I understand that Amy is probably as emotionally immature as her Duggar cousins. It is going to be hard for her to see everything that Jill and Jessa received and not be jealous. But come on! Did the Duggars really believe that every wedding/baby was going to result in tens of thousands of dollars in gifts? This whole family needs to go away for a very long time.
  8. Derrick's recent post makes my blood boil. They have shown their true colors when he uses phrases like "white, blue eyed baby". Really? You smug a**hole. He now rivals Josh in his smugness. Why don't they use their own money and provide some actual care?
  9. I would cry too if I was was cleaning toilets with Ben. What else could josh possibly be doing? Jim Bob has control over every single child and spouse now.
  10. Derick and Jill look good in this pic. However, matching green shirts? Really guys? Too much like JB and M. Baby looks cute.
  11. Nick and Jessica seemed like they were having fun and were both gorgeous to look at. Derick and Jill, not so much. I'm really not seeing the appeal of a show with just them.
  12. Ok. I'm just going to say it. Derick is a damn fool if he quit his job to become part of the TLC crazy train full time. (If he quit to take another similar job, that is something complete different.) How can he think this is a good plan for his family's future? I'm not convinced that an accounting degree with only 1 year will be that marketable 5 years from now if he thinks he wants to go back, I have empathy for Jill regarding her abuse during childhood. But if she had any common sense, she would not bring Derick down like this. If I was his mom, I would be so disappointed.
  13. As obnoxious as I find Jill and Derick to be, I believe they are the couple that can most easily move into a variety of social circles. Derick has his work and it appears that they attend a legitimate church. Maybe they will slowly break away from the family. Unlikely, I know, but would be great for their child(ren).
  14. Perhaps Gil and Kelly have taken Joseph in to protect him from this firestorm? It's got to be hell at the TTH for the older kids. Being several states away is probably a good thing for Joseph.
  15. I absolutely agree that Marjorie's parents should consider the long term ramifications of a marriage to Josiah. Child sexual abuse does not occur in a vacuum. Even if Josiah was not a victim, he lived in that home during and after the abuse. He is also quite close to Josh. If I was Marjorie's mom, I would stipulate that Josiah needs professional counseling and needs to get out of that home ASAP. Marjorie is only 17(!), she is still a minor and her parents are in charge. Can you imagine 2 years from now if nothing changes? Marjorie is married to Josiah and has a baby with him. And uncle Josh is still around.
