Josh used to be so skinny!

Until he got married and had enough to eat for the first time since he was a toddler. Ofsmuggar said they both gained a lot of weight during her first pregnancy, too.

Maybe Nathan's acne will clear up now that he and Nurie have experienced "sweet fellowship" together.

Quick, Anna! Sell it, then take the money and run.

Anna Duggar selling Arkansas home for $799K after she bought it from father-in-law Jim Bob for only $257K

They haven't even fixed up the house, yet asking 800k. This is the house with the indoor pool.

[Absolom]

That place was creepy.

[Chicklet]

I would think it is now tainted with people knowing that Duggars owned it. I'd be expecting a lower price. Especially if the Duggar SemiExpert Construction company had anything to do with any reno.

If nothing else, I find it hard to believe that any of the locals would think that the Duggars are trustworthy businesspeople; from what we've seen of their business practices, they are shady as hell, dishonest and do shoddy work.  According to the article, the home is essentially an empty shell and the buyer would need to spend about $500,000 to finish it; so, well over a million bucks all in.

Anna 'bought' the house from JB in June 2019, BTW, and they're expecting to double their money in a little over a year in the midst of a pandemic and economic crisis?  There is something fishy going on here.

If that's Anna it really shows how immature she was when courting Josh. That's something an 11 year old would do.

I just happened to notice that Joshy's girl's purse is a tiny pair of men's pants complete with fly and a belt.  Oh the irony!  If any guy could be represented by what is in his pants, it is definitely Josh and his tiny, tiny dick.

It's probably gherkin-sized, at best.

They haven't done any reno. It's as is.

[iwantcookies]

I highly doubt Anna had $257,000 to buy a house. It’s all Jim Bobs $. He uses Anna as a bank account. 

[emmawoodhouse]

They might have had the money. They sold their place for about $350k and never bought a new house.

I forever look at pictures like these and think about the weather. M'Ella looks dressed for a hot and humid summer day. M5 looks dressed for a brisk fall day. And everyone else looks dressed for something in between.

Never mind trying to figure out Anna's top.

WHY!  Why post a picture where one of your small children has his finger stuck up his nose?  That's just cruel to the child.  The internet is forever, and someday that poor kid is going to find that online and be embarrassed.  Would they post a picture where one or both of the parents were doing that?  Give the kid a little dignity.

Dignity is not something the Duggars know anything about. 

[Westiepeach]

Somehow I think that kid is going to find a lot more embarrassing things online concerning his family than a picture with his finger up his nose...

Dignity went right out of the window when Anna allowed TLC to film the toilet birth.

According to another article in The Sun, Smuggar & Family are living in a warehouse that Boob owns.

[lookeyloo]

Maybe its the brows, maybe she parts her hair on the other side and it is fluffier, maybe her face is maturing, but she looks different.

Is it a recent article? They have been living in the warehouse at least over a year now.

Snort haha. First the warehouse  than the street corner. Keep having more kids Smorgana! Josh will skip town as soon as he can/Daddy dies! You will be on your own.

Perfectly in keeping with the Duggars' sadistic sense of "humor". The only time they ever laugh is at someone else's expense. Josh probably thought this was hilarious and he'll taunt the poor kid with it for the next thirty years.

Yes, it’s recent.  I guess I’m late to the party, because I had no idea.

[emmawoodhouse]

They moved into the warehouse after they sold their place in Siloam Springs last year (or late 2018? It's been a while). They never bought a new house.

[BigBingerBro]

Anna also is very sly in making sure she doesn't reveal the fact they are living there either.  It's pretty obvious as the majority of her kid's pictures are outside of or in the TTH.  The pictures she posts when they are actually in the warehouse accomodation are closely and carefully cropped to make it look like and actual house.

Can one of you ex-fundies please explain to me why the moms all insist their sons button all the way up to the point of choking?

Marcus in the badminton birdie shirt is ready to explode.  He must be so uncomfortable.

Anna, you're so full of shit. I bet you blocked that commenter after you so wittily replied.

[galaxygirl76]

Hey Anna, you know who God doesn't love? Child molesters like the one you are married to.

[BigBingerBro]

[emmawoodhouse]

Interesting. I wonder when Anna will snap and institute the buddy system? How many more kids will it take?

Or, perhaps she's taking a lesson from her godly in-laws and lying through her teeth.  I think Anna probably does her best to manage her kids without resorting to buddying; but there is no way Smuggar is helping much and I would expect that Mykynzie (or however she misspells it) spends plenty of time looking after her younger siblings.

I was second out of six in a non-quiverful family, and spent plenty of time in charge of the younger ones.  And my parents really did parent us.  It just happens in big families.

Anna, do you even have a clue what Labor Day celebrates?

@doodlebug, I agree. Just from IG pics, it looks like Mack does quite a bit of overseeing the littles.

She's been in labor six times! It's a very special day for her!! 

[Tigregirl]

Anna must spend a lot of time on You Tube learning all theses different styles of braiding.  She’s very good at it.  I can manage a regular braid and a fishtail braid in my daughter’s hair and that’s it.  Luckily she can French braid it herself.  I have had curly hair my whole life and it pretty much does what it wants, so I never did anything but put it in a pony tail every now and then.  I wish I could do all those braids.

[madpsych78]

Still, Anna's comment about not having a buddy system is interesting nonetheless, because she followed that up with stating, "I'm Mom." (Italics mine.) It's like she inadvertently confirmed that in the Duggar buddy system the older sisters fully took on the Mom role.

Yes, I thought there was some definite shade there toward Michelle. It wouldn't surprise me if Anna envies Michelle while also despising her and thinking she's better than her, though as to quote my Granny, if you put them in a turnip sack, I don't know which one would fall out first.*

*Translation: they're equally awful.  

[Temperance]

I'm trying to remember what Anna said and I can't, but Anna had some snarky comment about in-laws when they were going to the TTH for a sex reveal. (It was the one with flamingoes.)

Anna knows she probably won't have as many kids as Michelle since they only have new babies every other year and the kids are more spreadout in age than her in-laws.

Yeah, that comment about wanting her children to "be free to enjoy their childhood" was shady as hell.  Her mom didn't do buddies either and Anna sees the disconnect between the Duggar kids and their mom all the time.  And how hurtful it is when buddies move on.  I wouldn't really want my kids to go through all that either.

 

Also, I like the Sunday family photo because the kids look like real kids, and have real emotions and reactions and stuff, unlike some other people (cough jillrod cough).  And, though I don't like Josh (duh), Maryella was smiling very happily at him in that pic, so I think that he must have a positive relationship with the kids on some level.

[ozziemom]

IIRC didn’t one of the Smuglets wander off at Silver City and Anna was upset with the Lost girls? And then it happened again. It is hard enough to wrangle 2 or 3 kids, so i imagine 6 is hard. But she choose to have 6.

How many kids she has is really her choice though? When you’re raised in a cult that considers every child a blessing and birth control evil. Not even told about sex until a few days before her wedding day. I’m not sure how much choice Anna has. 

[crazy8s]

Anna doesn't use the "buddy system" because she doesn't need to. they live in a house on duggar property, she sends the kids over to the TTH homeschool as seen many times Kynzie is with Josie for "school" projects. Hannie and Jenny are the buddies. while anna is "pouring her wisdom" into Lydia Patton and googling hair braiding

Is it even possible to have an occupancy permit for anyone, let alone a family with several young children, to live in a warehouse?

Who's praying hardest for a multiple birth, Anna or Jessa?

[DangerousMinds]

Doesn’t Anna also have a “helper?” Some cousin that she hides from everyone?
