The Other Duggars: The Lost Girls and Amy

[Mojitogirl]

This trip is one of those weird Duggar things. A "girls trip" with no one near Amy's age?  This must be a TLC thing.

She was being very cagey about it in the comments.

Famy seems to have a closet full of horrible dresses that do not flatter her figure.  I hate to say this, but Michelle looks younger than Famy in that picture.

Apparently her mom has the same problem.

Someone please buy them both a full length mirror. Bed, Bath, & Beyond has them & you can use the 20% off coupon.  Hell, you can even use that coupon after it expires.  Don't ask me how I know that. ;)

I love how #quickgirlstrip can be read quick, girl, strip!

Is her mom the rather (ahem) busty woman standing next to Grandma?  And she's Boob's sister?

It's "super, totally, like amazing, you know" how that fits!  LOL

Second from the right wow she must have bad back problems.  That is some rack.

Looks like Beth, Dog the Bounty Hunter's, wife.  I would really miss sleeping on my stomach if I had that boobage.

[floridamom]

Deanna, Jim Bob's sister, recently has gained a great deal of weight. She used to be much thinner. I think the divorce may have played a part in that. I hope she's doing  ok.

[OpieTaylor]

Amy is taking a social media break. Funny how she feels the need to lecture everyone else about how they, too, should take a break

[GeeGolly]

While I agree with the point Amy's post is making, it feels a lot like a cut and paste post. I also believe that not everyone posts pretend 'perfect life' stories, nor is everyone letting their 'likes' heavily impact their lives.

So I leave with this: social media is not your identity, likes and comments on your pictures shouldn't change you as a person....

....unless your mind and worldview are both extremely small, Amy.

[Jynnan tonnix]

It's a nice photo, though..She almost looks a little like Catherine Zeta-Jones...She should hold on to that photographer! lol

[allonsyalice]

I've actually been doing a little social media break myself, and it's been wonderful. (im trying to finish a novel by Hallowe'en but thats neither here nor there) So I agree, I guess, but I also don't see the point in making a huge post that comes across as a lil condescending. Just take a step back. it's fine.

It is a great photo, though. 

[SMama]

The hypocrisy and preaching Duggar genes are strong with Amy. And what makes her think the rest of us do not read books, spend time outside, and social media is not our identity? Seriously, for at SAHM I spend very little time at home.

[BitterApple]

Amy looks really nice in that picture. I love her hair color.

She's very attractive.  The preachy attitude, though:  doesn't everyone get more than enough of that with her cousins and the adjacent fundies?

[Arwen Evenstar]

Famy is at least more worldly than the Dugg cousins.

The photo of famy is way too airbrushed/filtered whatever it is the kids do these days

I'm thinking it might be positive in some ways that kids are getting proficient at this sort of thing...it can allow them to create images of themselves which look as perfect as something out of a magazine, and that's got to prove to them that they are no less beautiful than the celebrities out there, and that the celebrities are not as flawlessly gorgeous as they are presented either. Now, granted, self esteem should not be based solely, or even mainly in the physical, but if it's empowering to them to know they can look as beautiful as anyone else, I say go for it.

because saying "sort of" three times in the first sentence is practically Duggarese.

[Caracoa1]

I am wondering, if in the past,when cousin Amy appeared on any episodes, if TLC cut her a check personally or if it went into the Duggar family account and Boob doled out a pittance to her?

I'm guessing Boob doled out a pittance.

No, actually since they started the show Amy has been over 18. (Maybe when they were doing the specials before she got a pittance.) My guess is that she and her mother get their own paychecks. I don't get the sense JB has too much power and influence over them as he seems to with his own children. I don't think JB pays their bills either.

A generic, thoughtless message, as usual.  Doesn't Michelle even know one single thing to describe Jenni's likes, dislikes, hobbies, favorite activity?  She's sweet.  Big deal!  And where is her Servant's Heart?

Yeah, like Meee-Chelle would know anything at all about Jenny.                                                                                                                                                                      First of all, Mee was only the log flume that she went down after 9 months of gestation.  Jill was Jennifer's actual caring nuturing mother - I bet if you'd ask Jill any of those things about Jenny, she'd know. the answers.  Also, everything and everybody is always "sweet" or "so sweet" or "nice" in Duggarland.  Lack of imagination and a vocabulary from Schoolhouse of the Dining room table is to thank for that.  At least Jennifer has enough sense to hate Jim-Bob and Michelle - you can feel her doing it every time she looks at either one of those two.

She does seem unhappy in nearly all the pictures I have seen of her. Poor child.

[flyingdi]

Wait.  Wait. Wait.  The Duggar children are allowed to have likes, dislikes and hobbies?  Since when?

What are you talking about? They always have! There are a wide variety of gender-appropriate hobbies a Duggar child can have!

For the gals: 

Cooking*
Cleaning*
Helpmeeting*
Servant/missionary*
Servant/wife*
Servant/mother*
Brood mare
Uncertified midwifery*

 

For the guys:
Used car salesman*
Spokesperson for superior family values **
GoFundMe grifting
Cars*
Machines*
Pilot*
Headship
Abortion rallier
Tweetmaster
Mentally, physically, emotionally,  and sexually abusing females as per the Bible

 

*"hobby" does not necessarily denote "competence"

**Only if simultaneously trolling the internet for hooker pussy and blaming sisters for molestation

[toodles]

Add a couple more girl appropriate things:

interior "designer"

chicken coop/tree house designer

Lover of carrying babies on your hip.  Great hobby if you're around 7

Gardener.  You need to do something with the chicken poop

[lulu69]

You forgot a big one for the girls: encourager

[floridamom]

What about....'sandwich-maker'?

[satrunrose]

Only if you're married and don't you forget it! ;)

[GeeGolly]

And yet it appears the only 'skill' the womenfolk have truly mastered is the look-adoringly-at-headship one. The menfolk, with the exception of JD, seem to be masters of none.

Of course, since that's the one that's all about Bill Gothard's and Jim Bob's egos, it's really the only one that matters.

@Aja, OMG, you’re on a roll (a gluten free one) today!  Drumroll!

You’ve got me laughing so hard, I’m crying!  You’re a woman of few words sometimes, but I’m always happy when you post!

He turned 15. 

[louannems]

One of the few times Justin has his bangs slicked to the side.  I've always liked that Justin was the only Duggar boy who wore his bangs down on his forehead.

 

Enjoy your messy sundae, birthday boy.

[ariel]

Does the Marketplace give out free Sundays on your birthday?

[Lunera]

It's only a Duggar birthday tradition because it's free. No way they would pay for a $10 sundae.
