The Other Duggars: The Lost Girls and Amy

[CofCinci]

Poor little girl wants to have her birthday once her mother returns from Danger America. Hopefully between Jill as able to spend some time with the kid between scheduled church visits where they grift off parishioners to continue support Derick's vacation.

I think Jill will be tucked into the fold of the TTH echo chamber while Jenni helps her with Izzy, while Derick takes classes and dances for local sinning Arizonians.

That sounds like work on Derrick's part. Let's be reasonable here.

Always loved that song.  Although being told I almost had its all wouldn't necessarily make me feel better.  Might even make me feel worse.

Why do they support a mainstream college athletic team but would never allow their child to attend said college?

Because it's college football in America and a good percentage of the population does this?  Supports teams they never would or could send their children to.

When did DUI Dill transform from angry redneck into Greenwich Village hipster? Is he trying something new?

[Sew Sumi]

Maybe LA?

He looks like a cross between Jack Osborne and James Corden.

[Aja]

Maybe now he'll start camouflaging i-Phone cases and Doc Martens instead of semi-automatic weapons.

Scary, yet very accurate description.  Don't give him any ideas that he'd be relevant or cool enough to resemble the spawn of Ozzy or be able to do Carpool Karaoke...we want him to go away quietly....

[kokapetl]

Jenni's mom came home for her birthday!

[kokapetl]

Looks like the family has gained a few new members. Mr Pink Shirt looks really embarrassed.   

Also, the Duggar wedding apparel sweatshop has gained a new employee!

Seriously, why are there rows of sewing machines?

[BitterApple]

The guy in the fushia shirt looks like he's contemplating the appropriate ratio of pills to booze so he can put himself out of his misery.

I'm sorry, but what is happening in the top picture?  What's with the bow-ties?  Are they singing?  Whatever they're doing, Pink Shirt at least dressed for the occasion...whatever it is.

[Portia]

Are they singing at a nursing home? I don't  know what's  more unfortunate: their outfits or their body  language.

I was wondering if this might be a classroom somewhere. But look at how there's something behind Jenni's machine that's still in the plastic bag - as if this is a new machine that's just been set up. Also, as far as I can tell, Jenni has no material or thread in the machine - at least I don't see these things (but I'm not a sew-er). I'm skeptical she even knows how to sew. They probably took the lost girls to a one-time class at some local shop and, voila!, they're expert seamstresses!

[GeeGolly]

I have a problem with the pic that appears to be some Duggar spawn singing at a nursing home. Their posture is very disrespectful. Maybe I'm old school, but I my kids would be expected to stand up straight and appear attentive if they were visiting/performing.

How long were they even there?

Absolutely. I see crossed arms, slouched posture and kids leaning on furniture. Their body language is advertising loud and clear that they have no interest in being there. It's incredibly rude.

"Happy 9th birthday, Jenni! You are such a treasure and a blessing to us. We are looking forward to your ice cream celebration this evening! We also loved that you want to have your real party this weekend after your “buddy” Jill returns from Central America! We love you a million times over, sweet girl!"

 

so its "Jenni" now?

If they had included "precious," "servant," or "humble" the quota would have been met.

This is the batch of children that grew up as reality tv "stars."  They were raised by their sister-mothers and most likely not as heavily disciplined as the older batch. It's obvious that they don't want to be there and are forced by their father in hopes to cleanse the brand.

How can he be a smidge shorter than Johannah? Is there an early menarche problem within this family?

I like how Jackson's hairstyle gives him an extra inch in height. And he can't help himself from looking directly at the camera. I can't hate him, he's so desperate and eager to please.

I can't rag on his size. He has the Duggar smallness gene. His creepy preteen-but-emotionally-6 schtick is the problem.

It's not set up not even slightly, you're right. I also wouldn't start a 9 year old on a machine like that. I just got mine, and at 21, I'm petrified of sewing my finger. There are small ones made for kids, but uh that would require the Duggars taking interest on one of their kids, I guess. 

[lookeyloo]

To me it looks like she is in some kind of class with those tables and all same machines. They have shown Jana sewing on a Pfaff and these are all Babylock

True. Also, when they were little, they were hauled around and marched out on stage. Where the audiences apparently were just happy to see all those kids lined up, whether sawing on violins or not, and JB was proud that he'd fathered them all.

I doubt that JB, MEchelle, or any of the sister-moms taught the kids anything about stage presence, including standing up straight, smiling at the audience as appropriate and at least looking pleased to be there, and generally projecting some positive energy. Maybe they were told not to pick their noses on stage, but that might be about the extent of any coaching. 

I've mentioned before that the Duggar kids in general strike me as fairly passive - not surprising because if they had any individual spark, there wasn't room or time for that stuff to be indulged in by the tiny members of Duggar Enterprises, and it was also AFAIK an unwelcome "uppity" trait for a child according to Gothard doctrine, anyway. 

So if those kids are hauled off to a nursing home, I'm not surprised they are slouching around. Partly from normal pre-adolescent and adolescent desire to not stand out, maybe from not wanting to be there anyway, and partly from not knowing any better how to behave. I wonder how much training in empathy for others those kids have received. I doubt that their parents have modeled empathy for them. It seems to me that Duggars save their empathy for themselves, and don't waste it on all those unfortunate sinners who aren't lucky enough to be Duggars and are thus inferior beings. I mean, these are the people who staged giving food to the needy for the cameras, and then took it back when taping was over. (I hope I remembered that right.) And parents teach by example . . .

Jennifer is taking an embroidery class. That's an embroidery hoop to the left of the picture.

[CofCinci]

God forbid they pay for a math or writing class.

And isn't Michelle a sewing master craftsman by now? Why can't she teach Jenni?

[riverblue22]

That looks like a pretty basic machine and Jenni is certainly old enough to use it.  I was using my mother's at that age and by 11 sewing some of my own clothes.  Simple patterns are pretty easy.

[Barb23]

Thanks for setting me straight regarding them probably singing at a nursing home.  I thought it was a thrift store fashion show.   (Not knocking thrift stores.)  

Can't the girls go anywhere without those stupid leggings on?  What fashion monstrosity is Joy wearing?  Maybe trying out a bridesmaid gown for Jinger's wedding?

You know Kelly Bates would have them in shape for singing. 

[FakeJoshDuggar]

She's not sewing in any traditional sense. She attaches the embroidery hoop and the machine does it's thing. It's how you get things monogrammed or appliqued if you're really into it. People who have been sewing for 20 years dont know how to embroider.

[louannems]

We've seen the kids always facing outwards (facing the camera) during family prayer. We've seen sister-moms expertly pick up an infant and flipping it around to always face outwards (facing the camera). These poor kids grew up with cameras chasing their every special movement!  The nursing home singing appears to be a random photo snapped by JB.  If TLC cameras were on them, they would have been lined up, fake-smiling, and not slouching all over the furniture.

I'm just happy to see closed shoes on one of the girls.

Good points. Especially since they were making a visit somewhere.

Pickles and Hairspray on Facebook had a funny caption: Jim Bob: "Boys, break out your manly pink and purple shirts! You're going to the senior center to save our reputation....I mean old souls! Sing til they drop onto their artificial knees and pray for God to make you stop!"

[GeeGolly]

I think there was a clip or a picture not long ago with maybe Jessa and Jinger wearing monogrammed shirts ...

Nope. wrong family. It was two Bates girls doing a talking head and they had on matching shirts with monograms. I thought the shirts were odd and maybe a fan gift. And now there's a pic of Jenni doing monograms?

Actually, in Duggarland I expect that means they've been correctly socialized -- to be just like their wonderful uber-godly role models, JB and M, some of the most oblivious-to-others people on the planet.

I stand by my original impression: sweat shop.

That senior center pic is just embarrassing. And really disrespectful. 

Wonder how that photo made it out into the universe but they can be exceptionally tone-deaf. (blanket training, swaddled and in distress...)

I loathe this kind of passive crap, because it BEGS people to ask, "What's wrong, Amy?  What happened?  Who was mean to you, you poor thing?  I am SO SORRY, people are SO icky!!  Be positive, you're a beautiful person!"...blah blah blah.

I kind of hate social media altogether, but I especially hate when Z-list celebs clog the universe with vapid stuff like this.
