I didnt know about this. 

Have you heard the phrase "Hit dogs bark loudest?"

Why is Amy still harping on this? Again, is she talking about herself or her own husband? (even unconsciously)

Yes it apparently came up on some marriage reality show she appeared on with her psycho husband.

While I generally find the Duggars' views on gender roles reprehensible, learning to sew is a great skill to have, whether as a hobby or a career.  Sure, these girls probably weren't offered a chance

I dunno, it doesn't bother me like old dudes in banana hammocks.  But I am one of those weirdos who thinks pregnant women's bodies are amazing.  I also agree that Amy is looking darned good and I don'

Ah, yes, Duggar Family Official. So deeply concerned about the unborn.  But when it comes to the born-but-then-dropped-after-six-months-like-a-hot-potato-people, they don't concern you a bit

Is it possible that given the Duggar scandal, the Lost Girls won't be the coveted prizes that their older sisters seemed to be?  Will other Fundie families still be itching to attach their sons to the Duggar name by marrying into this family?  Is JB too exhausted to play matchmaker now?  If so, perhaps the Lost Girls will be able to escape and lead somewhat normal lives without having to hitch themselves to the first guy that passes Daddy's written exam, and they won't be pumping out their first child before they're old enough to legally drink.....wishful thinking, maybe?

I think Johannah will follow in her sisters' footsteps and marry young. She seems like Joy's mini-me, and I think just like Joy looked up to the older four and wanted to be accepted into their group, Johannah will want to be an "adult" as quickly as possible, which in their world means married with babies. 

The younger three are wild cards. Jenni in particular has looked over the fundie life since she was a toddler, and if anyone gets out I hope it's her. Jordyn seems to enjoy things that would actually make her a good future help-meet (sewing and baking in addition to babies), and I could see her pursuing marriage as a way to escape the TTH but actually enjoying the homemaker lifestyle and being better at it than her older sisters. Of course I'd much rather see her escape with Jenni and enjoy her youth doing the things she loves for herself rather than a husband and babies. Josie has been the perpetual baby, so I don't see her being pressured to marry young... but maybe she'll want out, too, (either through rebellion or marriage) rather than becoming the new Jana.

I mean, we've had high hopes for various young Duggars in the past, and so far no one has deviated from the script too much, so it wouldn't shock me if the lost girls follow suit. But I hope a few of them surprise us!

Amy has been shopping a lot with Jill. She is watching Sam and Israel today while Derick and Jill are running errands. As I said in the Dillards' thread, Amy makes sure Dax has lots of fun and toys so it looks like the boys are having a blast plus they got to see a blimp and watch a big screen tv.  The Jill and Derick will have to step up their fun game. https://www.instagram.com/stories/amyrachelleking/2933912679726973281/

I’m always amazed at how many toys Amy buys in one shopping trip. And that is after raising two kids, and being told they had too many toys. They must have a heck of a lot storage at their house. 

Does she buy them at consignment sales?  I have friends who buy tons of stuff at a big consignment sale near me and then sell them the next year (while buying a whole new haul).

She does shop consignment and second hand shops. But she purchases rather frequently. It’s not a yearly haul, more like a trimester haul.

I want to know where the money is coming from. She spends like a drunken sailor. Famy's shop closed months ago, and her online shop followed suit, never going back online. 

Wellington's has several partners. It can't be doing *that* well, can it? 

Or is she spending Grandma Duggar's inheritance?

I can never figure out where any of these people are getting their money. 

They don't pay their rent?  About a month ago (link on the previous page in this topic), she and her husband were going to court on failure to pay 1000s for rent on their business properties.

no idea if they pay their rent, doesn't deanna live with them? maybe she pays the rent.

I do know in the past they have been lax on paying their taxes and ran up a huge penalty that was paid off when they sold their house. Like more than $50,000 in back taxes and penalties.

Amy has mentioned dillon runs/owns 5 companies or some such. last time I looked it seemed most of his llcs were non current.

I wonder if it's the first time she's been left alone with any of her cousin's kids? 

Actually, I'm kind of surprised that there isn't more playdates where the cousins are dropped off with to play with their other cousins. My grandmother had 7 kids and they all lived within a couple of hundred miles of each other. As a kid we were always swapping cousins for a weekend or longer. The only time the cousins seem to get together is at the TTH or shopping.

All I can think about from this picture is that Reddit thread about TVs that have been placed too high. They need to sacrifice that decorative mantle or bring it down a foot, so the television isn't overlapping with the trim. 

Yup. Remove the shelves in the built-in and put the TV in there. But the chimney/mantel, IMO is so ugly looking, they'd need a big mirror or art to hide it.

Amy seems to think spewing shit on SM is helping others.

To be fair, so do JB and Michelle. Amy may not be their apple but she learned plenty from their tree.

Is the rug remark an attempt at alluding to things swept under the rug? Like how JB and Michelle his how bad the sexual abuse truly was while passing judgment on everyone?

I didn't even know JB & M used SM that much, but anyway they are a low, low bar.

Who knows what they mean about being swept under the rug, but IMO, other than for the 4 sisters, the molestation ship has sailed on. Its nobody's business but theirs. If this is all about the crimes of Josh, I'll have even less respect for Amy and that's hard to do because my respect for her is between slim and none.
