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

[libgirl2]

I have worn make up since I was 12 or 13. I even hike in make up though I go a bit lighter. I do black liner, mascara, eye shadow ...... but I'm not even close to how much make up these women put on their faces!

If only Kelton removed the phone from his pocket. Willow is a cute name.

She'll be known in the future as One of Many.

If she is born in a hospital yes. If she is born in a barn as Jilly muffin acts as a midwife then no.

I wear a full face of makeup on an almost daily basis.  Like 4-5 skincare products, undereye corrector, foundation, undereye concealer, powder, blush, anywhere from 1-5 eyeshadows with liner and multiple types of mascara.  I never photograph like this because I use the right colors for my complexion.  It's not the amount of makeup, nor the price of the products they are using, but the Rod women just don't know how to use the right products.  I'm fair with light eyes, I never line both my upper and lower lashes with black eyeliner.  The look is too harsh.  I can use black on top, but use a lighter color on the bottom.

And when she cries they can say “who wants to hold weeping Willow”

No farmer in his right mind would want to marry into that family.

She is probably thinking she is going to end up with a Duggar son. Scary thought!

[NotFundie]

Jill has a new Instagram post up.  Apparently, the kids have all had a stomach bug and have been throwing up.  Since she's worked so hard taking care of them (yes, I typed that without laughing) she needed presents.  David bought her roses, candy, a balloon, and a card and took her out for a date night dinner.   She says she's tired although I imagine the sister moms did most of the work.  At any rate, she's clean and looks rested in the photo.  Wonder what the sick kiddos ate for dinner? 

Jill is taking narcissism to new lows.

Actually, I find the idea of JillR landing one of the [grown up] Howlers as a son-in-law to be immensely amusing. The comic footage potential alone should delight the TLC programmers. JillR would figure out how to move the whole clan to Arkansas, would constantly shove herself front and center in front of the camera crew, and no doubt break into song at every possible opportunity. When she's not running her mouth about how fabulous her kids are and how her kids fast and save their money to buy her flowers and jewelry and stuff. Or giving Michelle makeup tips.

I hate to think of the poor little Rodriguii having a stomach bug.  Those thin little bodies have very few reserves upon which to draw during an illness. 😦

the one standing next to Lawson!!!! which one is that ???? he makes Lawson look homely...they are all good looking boys though!!

They certainly do put the Duggar boys to shame, don't they?  They all have hair! And dress nicely. And they look clean.

No, Trace is the one on the left end. Lawson is all the way on the right. The other boys I think are minors and I don't who is who

Its amazing what a simple thing like tucking in a shirt can do.

[BigBingerBro]

Damn that looks like a page from a catalog.  Have they had classes in modeling?  Most guys their age wouldn't naturally pose that way for a group photo.

Because when there’s a bug going through the family, you go out and possibly spread it, yup that’s what you do.

Are they dressing up just to attend some home church in a basement?

[McManda]

Balloons and a card? Screw that. If I was tired from taking care of twelve sick kids the best thing my husband could do would take over sick duty so I could sleep and hopefully not get sick myself, not spend money we didn't have on things I definitely don't need.

I seriously doubt that Jill was tired in any way.  Nurie and Kaylee can pretty much care for themselves.  When they got over their bout, I’m sure they were on 24/7 sister mom duty.  

In RE: the gifts...maybe be Shrek was planning on trying for # 14 that night?  Maybe Jill is more “joyfully available” after balloons, candy and dinner at the “good” Olive Garden?

I predict Warden will grow up to be a real looker.  Ma and Pa Bates sure did grow some good-looking kids!

Wow.They are so much more handsome than any of the Duggar guys!

No, they bought a church and have been fixing it up...don't know if it's in use yet~

I never even knew there was a Jackson bates!

[heckkitty]

I predict that The One Next to Lawson will be out-blue steeling Lawson sometime soon. He looks good, but like he’s been practicing that face in the mirror for years 

[DangerousMinds]

Anyone else notice Lawson's badge on his belt? Why wear the badge to church?😂😂😂

Well he is a teenager, maybe he'll grow out of it...  

I wonder when any of the Bates boys will start courting dating.

Just as idiotic as the one idiot episode where JB went on a ride along with JD. I am still surprised that JD was allowed to do it. Where I live an officer would have been fired for letting a ride along act like JB was doing.

Now this is what a fundy boy band should look like.  Not the mess of Duggar boys.  None of the Duggar children are particularly bad looking.  They just always look grimy and their clothes look dirty.  

Gil and Kelly are both nice enough looking.  It's amazing how nice looking all of their children are.  Their combined genetics really worked on all 19? 20? 21? kids.  I can't remember how many any of these families have.

Probably because he wanted the broad shoulders. Larger jacket, broader shoulders. Honestly Lawson puts Jeremy to shame in the vanity department.

I think Jeremiah is quite good looking; however, I can't imagine him wearing the same type of attire as the Bates boys above.

Yeah, and even toolier than might be with those ridiculous sleeves hanging over his hands.

In the sleeves of that jacket he looks like a seven-year-old wearing dad's jacket -- so he ends up looking like a seven-year-old wearing a toy sheriff's badge....while being a 20-something who thinks he's a way cool adult lawman. I enjoy the fact that he has no idea stupid he actually looks.

I agree. The Duggar kids don't have bad features or anything, but they always look so unwashed. Greasy hair, greasy skin, faded clothes. If you consider Jinger's glow-up over the past year, that's what her siblings could look like if they made a decent effort. 

[Gweilo]

It appears that Kelly's trying to sell off some more children.
