The Other Duggars: The Lost Girls and Amy

[leighdear]

I like Amy more than the rest of the family.  She's more normal, drinks and manages to avoid the worst of the fundie crap in her life. 

But I absolutely abhor the trendy phrase "Live my best life".  HATE it. 

Great for you sweetie to have your own business, your health, a home and a thriving baby.  I'm sure millions of folks that don't have those things would love to live their best life, but cant.  Nice of you to point out YOU can.  Idiot.

Some self-absorbed, Lululemon-wearing, Peleton-riding, gluten-free mom somewhere came up with that stupidity, and I cringe every time I hear it.  I didn't expect it from Amy.

I have dozed off nursing and bottle feeding my babies. I guarantee anything I had in my hands (not the babies) went rolling or crashing to the floor and usually woke us both up.

Amy is doing some kind of magic, sleeping while holding an infant, cup of tea, glass of water and two remote controllers.

Is this post a shot at Jeremy/Jinger and/or Jana?🤔

Could be. Hard to tell. 

My guess, though, is that it's more likely she's doing the same thing they've been doing, not critiquing it.

This looks to me like another carefully posed shot that's meant to fool us into thinking it's a candid snapshot (and is obviously phony when you look at it for a few seconds, because, as others have said, there's no way the mugs and remotes and stuff haven't fallen onto the sofa or the floor if she's actually asleep ).

Only difference from the others is she doesn't seem to be selling anything here. (although lately Jana, Jer and Jingle have also been exhibiting phony-looking supposed candids where they aren't selling anything either....their advertising has spilled over into their supposed real lives....)

I think Amy's modeling/pretending here, just like the others have been doing. And the bit about her mom capturing her sleeping is fiction.

[zoomama]

i personally think its a lovely picture of amy.

[Rabbittron]

Amy to the duggars is in the same league as Marilyn is to the Munsters the only normal person in the family.

We know this was staged but still cute. I noticed none of her cousins liked the photo.

Never gonna happen. There’s a BOOB in it. 

These are the kind of people who get morally offended if someone nurses in public 🙄

And I think that's exactly the reaction she's looking for from her relatives and their leghumpers.

Unless it's on a float in a parade with one of those breastfriend covers(isn't that what they were called?) . 

[floridamom]

Amy,,,what, no 'breast friend' cover up cape?

Cute little guy.  Kudos to Amy for waiting to reproduce.  Extra points if she only does it once more, or not again.

There's a Justin?

Is that really a picture of Justin? I'm actually asking seriously because I don't think I've ever seen him before, lol.

He had braces until recently, and bangs.  Or rather, he didn't used to gel his hair back.  With that huge smile and the beginning of the classic Duggar hairline, he has gone from cute to looking like a ...well, a Duggar.

[CalicoKitty]

I think he looks like Joy in this picture.

This is one that I generally give a pass to. It's so easy to do if you are not paying attention, even if it's a rule you actually know.

That being said, I wouldn't bet on their actually knowing the rules, but that's another matter.

[galaxychaser]

Justin is cute. Hopefully by his wedding in a year or two he will still have hair.

[drafan]

A just-turned-17-year-old-with-no-formal-training has "fixed" their bus????? As in a BROKEN bus??? A bus that carries a shit-ton of Duggars?? OMG. I would be terrified to get in that deathtrap.                 Complete morons.

[Sew Sumi]

Oh, but he trained under Pa Caldwell, who apparently lets minors work on customers' vehicles. And of course, he saw an older Howler fix the bus that one time...

[Temperance]

I wonder if ALERT is why the boys look older than they are. I also didn't remember Justin is a blonde. 

[Sew Sumi]

I don't think Justin has been to ALERT...yet. I think the minimum age requirement is 17.

[awaken]

Snore,  what a boring birthday greeting.

I agree, I see the resemblance with joy, which I never noticed before!

I think he looks like Anthony Michael Hall circa 16 Candles/Breakfast Club but with less hair.

AMH is a big ole hunk now, he def improved with age...the opposite of male Duggars.

[ouinason]

All the attention to grammar is making me feel slightly stupid.  I make a couple of mistakes commonly, and I'm a college graduate.

Both Jackson and Josie look so stunted. I would never guess Josie is only a year behind Jordyn.

[galaxychaser]

I agree I see Amy having 2 more kids tops.

The girl holding Dax looks a lot like Joy.

I don't know the names of those younger girls

Girl holding Dax is Johannah (Joy's twin for sure), the next oldest who is now actually bigger than Hannie is Jennifer then Jordan and of course the blessing Josie. 

[PradaKitty]

Yeah... If Jackson was actually a sophomore in high school he would most likely be spending a lot of time stuffed in his locker...

Jackson has the Audrey Roloff thigh gap!

He would be bullied a lot. He is shrimpy.

I shouldn't laugh, but you're right.  He looks like a 5th grader.  The bow tie looks dumb.  Is he taking fashion advice from his BIL RFP?

[PradaKitty]

I think RFP has been copying Jackson!

[BigBingerBro]

Didn't Josiah try the bow-tie thing a while back?

[Lukeysboat]

Poor Josie. That outfit is just awful, from head to toe.

Yeah I think Si was the original bow tie guy until he got his style “fixed” at Alert.

I don’t get why they buy sleeveless dresses that Josie wearing then put a t-shirt underneath. Why buy them in the first place.

All the girls look like ragamuffins to me.  Well, Hanny's not too bad but as @Puffin  noted, the layered summer dresses (in Winter) are not a good look.  Where are all the clothes they bragged about getting at that consignment store sale a few months back?
