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

I assume because both rely on Jim 100% for $$$. Neither headship is working outside of the compound. 

Josh working 🤣🤣🤣. 

I agree about Josh. But I'm not so sure about Ben. Neither he nor Jessa have said on SM, or I think on the show, what he's doing. He recently posted something on social media about his kids greeting him when he gets "home from work." Ben could be working for a person or company that doesn't want to be publicly identified as employing a Duggar or in-law. Or, for that matter, has a policy against employees posting information about them on social media - regardless of whether the employee is on TV or not. Many businesses just don't want the potential hassles of that stuff. 

Jessa is by nature rather canny and good at keeping "secrets" from the public, sometimes to control the timing of release of information and also just to keep things to herself. I think Ben got his fingers burned after some over-enthusiastic preaching/ranting posts on social media a few years ago. Either because Jessa says so or because it's his own preference too, he became much more discreet on social media. 

Sure, Ben could be working for JB, but I'm not going to assume that. Although he was very young when he married into Duggarworld, he'd already held "real" if modest jobs and gone to community college. We snark about him cleaning toilets when he was courting or engaged to Jessa but I'm sure he has moved on from that long since.

I can't stand it when these people ask questions and you know they don't really want to know the answers.

To all the 'influencers' out there:  Don't show a picture of last nights dinner and then ask what the readers had or are planning to make tonight.  I know you don't care.  You don't want to start a conversation.  You might like other people to talk amongst themselves so you get a larger number of replies to your posts.  You want validation in your little world.  You want to sit back and watch the little people dance.  Tell you how great you are.  Pile on anyone who disagrees with you.  You're not going to take the advice of some online nobody.  You don't want to try their recipes, get tips on different child rearing techniques, and you most certainly don't want to hear anybody else's views on religion.

If you cared about any of that, you'd join an online community and engage in conversations that aren't dictated by you and don't bring you hits for your personal blog.

So they went with Mary. I was surprised that no one else used it, or Leona. I was sure Joe and Kendra would scoop that up. That's why I don't participate in baby naming pools. 😂

To be fair, Anna's whole thing is the M name. It would have been a dick move if Lauren named Bella Mary. (although Mary Milagro has a ring to it that isnt terrible)

Maryella......Cuz Mary just isn't good enough. Bless her heart. 

Probably similar to Johannah in that they really liked a name (in this case Ella), but it didn't fit with the letter theme. At least Mary pairs nicely with it. Will be interesting to see if they mostly call her Ella, though. Because cousins Bella and Ella born within weeks of each other aren't confusing at all...

This almost reminds me of when Kim Kardashian said that they wouldn't use North for their kid and ended up using North.

Anna strikes me as the one who wants to keep proving she is the most worthy Duggar-in-law and most Duggar of them all. Of course she would find a way to put "Mary" in there.

She's going to have a fit if Kendra, Joy, or Lauren surpass her in the birth total.

I seriously think that Anna believes her ultimate redemption will happen when she becomes Michelle 2.0 and has over a dozen kids.  hashtag littleduggars anyone?   Unfortunately nothing will erase her husbands past.  In my mind all she's doing is setting herself up for more stress and heartache.  I just hope she has enough common sense to make sure there is something they can all fall back on once the gravy-train derails once and for all.  

My bet is Josh walks out once the gravy train is derails. If he's smart, he's got a hidden cash box or savings account he's slipping small amounts of money into as a backup. Anna's screwed either way, because neither of them have any marketable skills and minimum wage jobs won't pay for childcare, let alone housing, food, medical, clothes, and everything else.

ETA: I figured Josh and Anna would name the baby some version of Mary, since it goes with their 'M' scheme. Maryella Hope is a pretty name. Welcome to the world, baby girl. Too bad you got stuck with Josh Duggar for a daddy.

Mariella means "star of the sea" I don't like the spelling,  I think she should have gone with Mary Ella or Mariella. 

My first thought was, will she unjustly accuse Tom Robinson. 

The name wouldn't be so bad if it were broken into two names. Mary Ella is meh. Mariella is okay. Maryella is bad.

Picture looks like she was born at home. I wonder if Josh is helping, or if Anna had to put the kids to bed herself tonight. Hopefully, he'll take the M kids over to the TTH tomorrow and let Anna rest. 

Josh help with kids or anything? Trust me he is doing nothing. Jana is probably over helping with everything. 

Sex pest is snoring in bed while holding a sandwich.
