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

[Temperance]

It is considered possible for women to have babies up til around 45 and there are a few women who've had babies beyond that.

At 41 Jill could 2 or 3 more babies going by age alone.

In Jill's case, she was massively fertile in her twenties and her fertility has been slowing way down in her thirties. She's only had 2 children in the past five years. Now she's in forties and there is more of a drop in fertility. She may be able to at least one more baby though. 

[sondraK]

My mil had twins at age 40,one at age 44 and one at age 45.It is possible.

I recall there was a 47 yo in the news who had triplets naturally

Seriously .. she showed us her pile of presents 

Is Jill trying to convince us she is super loved? 

That second photo with her hand under her chin 😒

I just have so many questions .. but I’m speechless and unable to articulate them

She's vile.

[galaxychaser]

My favorite picture is Jill posing as though she actually cleans her windows. 

She probably hadn’t cleaned in years.

How did they manage to get everything boxed up and moved out of that house so quickly, if they no longer live there?  All of the crap that she has setting around, hanging on walls, etc. doesn’t look like it’s been touched to prepare for a move.  I mean, there’s A LOT of shit in that house!

Not Nurie and Renee didn't write those at all.

okay, upon second reflection. Maybe Not Nurie did write hers, but theres no way Renee did. That's exactly how Jill writes, it's so transparent.

Jill probably told the buyers she is moving after Christmas.

Can someone please pm me the address of the house I would be to see it.

Thanks

We're going around the carousel again.  Possible is not probable.  Fertility drops steadily beginning at age 40 and the miscarriage rate starts skyrocketing.  She might have one at 42 or 43, but her odds after that start looking pretty bad.  She could be one of the women who has a healthy pregnancy past 43, but it's more likely that she won't.

That's the more likely scenario of one at most.

[Fuzzysox]

I've mentioned this before that our doctor's mom had her 13th child at 48. It's possible.

[Absolom]

Again possible is not probable and we've all heard about the few outliers who do have late forties pregnancies.  We've all heard about them because they are so unusual.  Telling a story about a 40 year old woman who has a baby is as thrilling as saying a Duggar had a baby.  But oh my Great Aunt Gertrude had a baby at 48 when she never thought it was possible is a story to be told.

You're correct.  As a woman who has remained fertile and already has had many successful pregnancies, Jill is more likely to be able to have kids after age 40 than someone who hasn't had any pregnancies or births; but the rate steadily declines and, by the mid-40's, continued fertility is the exception and not the rule.  Only about 1% of women are able to conceive by age 45.

Take a look at J'chelle. She had 3 live births in her early 40's, one at 40, one at 42 and she was 43 when Josie was born.  Shortly after that, she, had another pregnancy that resulted in a second trimester loss and never conceived again as far as we know.  Even if Jill is as fertile as Ma Duggar, she is on track to have one, maybe two more, if she is lucky.

Baby Janessa looks like she was adopted.

[Temperance]

Unlike Jill R, Michelle's birth rate was pretty consistent up til 40.  Jill Rodrigues's birth rate has slowed down the older she gets.  

I know it's possible Jill is done having kids. I know it's possible she could have at least one more.  My point was more it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

By the way, Jill has twin sisters Amy and Angie, who are a year younger than her. Amy stopped having kids after the car accident. Angie has 8 kids and is pregnant with #9.

I'm in Maryland.  Does anyone know what church & its location they were revival-ing at?  Thinking it may be the more rural areas  of Western Maryland (close to WV)  or on the Eastern Shore.  Just curious.

Yeah, where in Maryland?! We don’t want them!

[galaxychaser]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Jill is still trying to get pregnant. Baby is like 18 months old.  

A real mom wouldn’t want a pile of presents. She’d rather spend the $ on her kids. 

Jill is a selfish woman.

I grew up in fundie land and the narrative that conservative Christians are under attack is STRONG. It's really laughable, considering Christianity has all sorts of privileges not granted to any other religion or atheism.

I don't really doubt that Renee wrote it, because for all of Jill's faults, I don't think she'd lie in such a blatant way. But of course they all write just like her, because they don't know anyone else!

I'm in Linthicum,  home of BWI airport.  (North of Glen Burnie, south of Baltimore city)  How about you?  

Back to JillR -   She looks extremely horrid in the pictures of her & the baby and  her & one of the older girls with the eyeshadow going up to her eyebrows & the Sharpee eyeliner.  She looks like  she was in a fight. I wonder if she gets eye infections with all that eye makeup which I'm sure is shared.

I sincerely doubt she shares ANYTHING with the kids, eye makeup included.  What belongs to MAMA is for MAMA alone.

Yes, a couple of the little girls suck their thumb. My youngest sucked his way past toddlerhood. It's a harder habit to break than sucking on a pacifier because you can't toss thumbs in the trash.

[ChocolateAddict]

As a reminder, this is what Jill's children got for their birthdays.  Sofia was honoured with a half eaten pumpkin pie, Sadie got disposable diapers and Timbits was lucky enough to get a pile of crappy cake rolls. 

She really is a foul, narcassistic woman.

They really went all out for Sadie!  She got wet wipes too!  SMDH.  If that’s not the saddest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. 😭 Jill and David are both the fucking scum of the earth.  Those kids would be just as well off in an orphanage.

And already in the RV storage closet. Why waste money or time getting something special for a child, even if it's a second-hand toy that will light up the child's eyes?  Jill, on the other hand, expects to be celebrated with perfume, jewelry, clothes, and other vanities. How does she expect to promote her religious beliefs by acting like a lazy, selfish hypocrite? (A question for Michelle Duggar too, I suppose.) These children exist to serve Jill, little more than indentured servants or peasants working the fields/singing in churches for food. David is just as bad. The man needs to stop spewing sperm and get a job.  

[laurakaye]

Jill couldn't be bothered to run to the local thrift shop and pick up a toy or book for this poor child?  She has to open up a bag filled with diapers?  What would happen if Jill's kids gave her a roll of toilet paper for HER birthday?

I've seen some truly sad things in this particular thread but this one might be at the top.

Anna Marie Maxwell (married to Christopher with 5 children and #6 due in February) had children with head lice. She'd never seen or heard of head lice.  It seems to have been a bigger/longer ordeal than it needed to be.

Jill is too busy washing windows in the house [/s] to pick up gifts for her spawn. She has plenty of time to post photos and descriptions of the gifts they give her, however. Remember Tim, who couldn't pay for his textbooks, sending her flowers from college?

I'd love to see Jill receive a roll of toilet paper as a gift! A box of maxi-pads! A can of insect spray! She should be celebrated properly for what she is--a loathsome, selfish piece of shit.

To be fair, head lice is something you pick up at school or another person's home, and homeschoolers have a much smaller chance of contact than regular people.  I used to be a pharmacy technician and helped parents fill prescriptions or showed them otc products.   I remember lice checks at school, but never knew anyone who actually had it as a kid.  I actually did a continuing education once on how to treat head lice, so I know all the remedies.
