Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)

One of my sisters never wanted or had children. My oldest sister and I did. We broke the cycle big time. Neither of us drank when the kids were little, and I was always very careful about quiet bedtime, and quiet nights - and an overall peaceful life. Today my kids really are some of my best friends. And not like Jill and Nurie and whatever weird bonding situation they have. All I see is Nurie doing a weird squeal “Yas” to anything mama say or does. Nurie will definitely go for a record number of children. And she’s already doing the weird short hair and hairspray thing on her tiny boys. I guess next will be starving and swimming in ditches - fully clothed.

You broke the cycle, @EmeraldGirlbut Nurie can't or won't. But I am hopeful that a couple of Rods will opt for fewer children and maybe even school for their kids. 🤞

Hopefully Jill will tire out eventually and let up on some of them. Michelle and Jim Bob seem to have, but Jill is a different animal. I could see her not speaking to girls who wore pants, or opted for any other kind of lifestyle. Jana’s wedding dress alone would’ve blown her head off.
