Did Anna just brag/throw shade that she's in the lead in the baby contest? Really??

This family prizes fecundity above all else. That's all she has of value in the Duggar family. It remains to be seen if Jessa, Joy, Kendra, or Lauren will surpass her.

She isn't getting pregnant nearly as fast as her sister Esther but she's on track to hit 10 kids. As of right now, Jessa is her only competition.

Someone on Reddit just described Josh’s face as a glistening glazed ham. I am considering divorcing my husband and marrying that poster.

Well, for many of us, it's the difference between 'imperfect' and 'non-PC' and being a criminal.  Josh is a child molester and his parents actively intervened in his situation to avoid him being punis

Does Anna not understand that the general public sees her husband as a vile specimen of humanity and does not want to see his face?

When he says "make a wish", I imagine he was wishing for his own Stormy Daniels and no more kids!

My God, Josh is only THIRTY??? Apart from the fact that he looks like a 50 year-old video poker addict, he's packed a prodigious amount of sexually deviant behavior into three decades.

One COULD say he is wearing his deviancy all over his countenance!

So she is doing her own Caleb thing now?  I am sort of reading this as some shade towards Jill/Jessa/Joy because they have not been blessed with sister moms like she has.  Anna, you need them more.  I think you have a better chance of being a single mother whether its by JoshUa having a massive coronary, ending up in real jail because he cannot keep his digits to himself (assumption), or he leaves you for a stripper.  #suckstobeyou

She's as big a famewhore as the rest of them are. I don't believe that any of the Duggar kids (except hers) even eat veggies, cucumbers or not. She's pathetic if she thinks Joshua is ever going to change. But she's in it all for the game, because anybody else would already be long gone.

I am pleased to see the kids eating real vegetables and fruit in the past month's photos she's posted.  Although I want to scream and say, take those boys for a real haircut!  They both look like 60 year old balding men with bad combovers or that they're trying to be Alfalfa from the Little Rascals.  

When I went down a rabbit hole on her sister, Prissy's website, they showed a video of all of her siblings surprising her mother for Mother's day.  2 of those sisters were wearing capri style pants and one of their tween? daughters was wearing shorts!  Like mid-thigh level shorts!  I can't believe that they wouldn't help her if she left her cheating husband.

Yes Smuggar play the victim game because we all know you're life has been damaged since it came out you molested your four sisters over and over again. Do you really honestly think your nasty dirty little secret would never come out? Do you plan on sharing any money you get with your victims or will it go you porn watching and picking up hookers? First Derelict whines and goes on a major twitter rant, and you file another lawsuit. I do not know who I cannot stand more...you or your idiot brother-in-law, but it is a close tie. Go in the corner, crawl into the fetal position and throw a fit you slime bag.

Nothing like Anna boasting & patting herself on the back-"I'm mommy to 1/2 the grandchildren...."  She had to make it about herself rather than the kids. She could have said that on Joshua's side of the family, 1/2 of the grandchildren are ours or something similar.

My son is the first grandchild on both sides of our families & that is how I tell people when or if it comes up in conversation.  I don't say "Mr. Barb & I are parents to the first grandchild born on either side of our families."

I know I'm reading way too much in her message.

Looks like Smuggar is trying yet another lawsuit against Springdale, etc. This was just filed on Friday.

Probably just a desperate attempt for money.  I remember a few years back he was late on some property tax payment.  Maybe the city dared to fine him for it and he took offense, or maybe the city had the gall to to raise the permitting fees for the car lot? 

For all their self-righteous claims of frugality the Duggars sure do waste a ton of money on frivolous lawsuits.

I've often wondered if Jim Bob regrets not ending the TV famewhoring years ago, or ever starting it in the first place. He and Mullet are both assholes, but one thing's for sure -- they both had an amazing work ethic when they started out. Smuggar never did, and maybe that's because he expected to have everything handed to him by his parents and the production company.

This is part of the lawsuits Josh (and four of his sisters) filed regarding the released information about the sexual molestations that occurred in the Duggar family.  Josh probably just filed another motion in his ongoing claim for $75,000.  His sisters' attorneys are hoping for a settlement between $10 and $15 million.  The city and county were named as defendants because they released information when presented with a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

In the case against In Touch Weekly, the judge concluded that the information published was true and that it was obtained lawfully.  Therefore, the cases against the publication and its attorney were dismissed.

The judge also ruled that Josh didn't have a valid case against the City of Springdale, Washington County or any of their employees.  Those cases were also dismissed.

The only remaining defendant in Josh's lawsuit is the State of Arkansas Department of Human Services.  It appears that the department has not yet been served with the lawsuit papers and has yet to file a response.

In the lawsuit filed by the four molested Duggar sisters: the cases against In Touch Weekly and its attorney have been dismissed; the cases against all city and county employees have been dismissed; and the cases against the City of Springdale and Washington County are ongoing.

You can read the judge's decision here:

You know what bothers me the most about Anna’s fun fact? 

1. Referring to herself as Mommy in a post that’s obviously being read by adults. This is one of Michelle’s issues too. The rest of use Mom.

2. She has nothing else to brag about. No hobbies, no trips with friends, nothing.

No, you are not reading too much into it. Anna also goes on to brag that she has the only girls. The entire post is one big humblebrag.

It emphasizes how disgusting their whole belief system is. Anna's marriage is crap, which we all know. She has no other accomplishments. So to give herself any form of comfort, she ends up passive-aggressively sniping at Jill, Jessa, and Joy over something none of them have any control over. And the worst is that it's not going to last for much longer either. Odds are good that someone else is going to have a daughter soon and that her specific kids will be a smaller and smaller percentage of the grandkid total.

The one thing Anna has going for her is that neither she nor any of her sisters have had a c-section. No problems birthin' those babies for the Keller girls. Ma Keller had 8, Esther is 11 and counting, Anna is next, and Prissy is due to be knocked up with #4 at any time now. Anna is probably good for five more (if Smuggar sticks around that long), but as noted, her percentage of Duggar grandkids will decrease once the Jinger, Kendra, and Lauren baby trains hook up with Jessa and (at a slower pace) Jill and Joy. No way she can "win" with the odds stacked against her like that!  

But sadly, that's all she has to validate herself.

Anna has a lot of Duggar firsts: first in-law, first married occupant of the mold house, only kidult to be pregnant with Michelle, first to have a home birth, first grandbaby, first granddaughter(s), first to move away, first to move back 'home', most grandbabies and first in-law to have her spouse grow an evil fortress in his heart.

We need to give 'credit' where credit is due, because it's unlikely she will ever be bragging that she's the first to go to college, the first to work outside the home, first to use birth control or the first to break away from the cult.

I wonder if Anna's obnoxious, humblebragging post was really intended for our benefit, or if it was an attempt to remind her in-laws how much she has contributed to the Duggars' public image over the years. I have a feeling that all the Duggars have been superficially nice to her in public, but behind closed doors they have blamed her entirely for Josh's infidelity and porn addiction. Their twisted religion has taught them that any imperfection in a marriage is always the wife's fault and I'm sure that point has been hammered home to her over and over again. And scapegoating Anna lets Jim Bob and Michelle off the hook. They're such wonderful, Godly parents that it couldn't possibly be their fault that Josh came to a bad end. It isn't even poor Joshie's fault; if he had a wife who just tried a little harder, Satan wouldn't have been able to build that fortress in his heart.

I think that even before Joshgate, Anna has taken a lot of crap from her in-laws and this was an attempt on her part to remind them that if they want their brand to continue and Josh to have any kind of public redemption, they're gonna need her to play her role.

I remember that the family's birthday messages to Anna, before Joshgate, were passive aggressive and usually contained at least one backhanded compliment.

If JB and Michelle are indeed narcissists (as in, have narcissistic personality disorder), of which I think Michelle is more guilty than JB, then they are to blame for *nothing* in life. A narcissist can do no wrong and will never admit fault.

I hope they throw all they have at him.  Break him with discovery.  If one buys the Counting On via Amazon or something does it personally enrich any of the Duggars in any way?  If so, not doing it.

If she didn't leave him after the molestation and then the Ashley Madison/infidelity with porn star stuff came out, she's never leaving.  That was her opportunity.  But no, she doubled down and proceeded to have another kid with him.

He is probably more upset about his dirty little family secrets are out for the world to see, and people see him and Michelle for the two phonies they are. It is all about the fame and money to him. His ego needs to be fed on a daily basis. The both of them may have had an amazing work ethic when they were first married, but it was thrown away for money and fame, and the wiliness to use their own children and grandchildren to float their constant need to be famewhores. Josh is the same way. He is the younger version of his parents.

That's a really bizarre post. Methinks Anna is grasping to maintain her place in the pack now that Josh is the red-headed stepchild, Jana has Laura and none of the other siblings apparently want anything to do with her. Citing birthing stats is a rather hollow humblebrag considering she's a decade older than Kendra/Joy and was married years before Jessa, Jinger and Jill. I feel like there's a lot of weird shit going down with this family right now and I need for one of these nutjobs to crack and spill the beans.

Could you imagine if it came out that he impregnated someone else and had them get an abortion to cover it up?  Considering Anna likes to pass judgement on others with her anti-abortion picketing.

 

I wish that while Anna was doing her anti-abortion picketing, someone would’ve been holding a sign of  Josh’s face with the words “child molester” on it across the street.

Not to nitpick, but do we KNOW she does it without vomiting? As gross as it is to imagine Anna doing sex with Smuggar,  I kind of like imagining her having to periodically pause the, er, proceedings so she can heave into a bucket positioned just by the bed.

Nice proofreading job by Josh's attorney. The first dates mentioned for the FOIA request and response dates are in May 2015. Thereafter, the dates are in May 2017, but unless I am mistaken, it refers to the same request and response.
