Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp

I don't know (or care) if Anna's pregnant -- obviously, it would be a good idea to stop having babies with an unemployable, child molester, but that doesn't seem to occur to her, so it's going to happen sooner or later.

When I first saw the picture, though, I thought Anna was stuck back in the corner because she was sort of a tag-a-long and not really part of the group. I remembered reading that the sisters didn't like her much when she first married Josh and thought she was stuck-up, or stand-offish, or something like that. It just occurred to me though, that that would have been their first experience with the very sharp, clear line that the Duggars draw between "marrieds" and "unmarrieds." Maybe they like her more now that they get to participate in all of the perks associated with being married in their world.

 Why she keeps procreating with that turd is beyond me.

I think time is supposed to heal all wounds in their culture. Maybe they think we'll not only forget he was a womanizer & committed adultery but  was also a teenage molester. To them a new baby is showing the world that things are just fine in their marriage. Yeah right.

Plus, didn't they already have three babies after the molestation? Guess things were alright, until they weren't?

I wonder how Austin's house flipping business is doing?  I was reading on CNBC Money an article called House, Flip or Flop.  Evidently, the hordes of cheap houses from default during the last recession were bought up cheaply by flippers.  But the stock has been bought up and with big increases in building materials, flippers are no longer making big profits.

It seems our Austin doesn't have other skills- I don't remember reading if he attended college or trade school.  I'm sure he'll always have a job doing repairs at the family camp. At least his dad only had one son.

How will JB keep his Howlers all working if the cheap houses run out for flipping?

I don't know how the market in AR is but he could be doing really well if it is anything like it is up here in the Chicago burbs. It seems to be very hard to get a house in desirable condition/neighborhoods. I know multiple people who have been trying to buy houses and keep getting out bid or the house is already sold by the time they can put an offer in! My poor brother in law has gone for 4 or 5 houses and can't catch a break!

Is 21 a milestone birthday for fundies? I feel like they made a really big deal about her birthday, when they don't seem to make as big of deal for anyone else's bday?

Also, the Mykynzie looks ADORABLE in that picture. Love the little bun and the outfit.

I feel like by 21 their life is set. No school just have kids until menaupause. Nothing else kids and pleasing the hubby.

 No wonder why Jana hasn’t got married then, if that was my only option in life I’d wait till at least 30 to marry anyone, well I’d like to think I would, knowing what I was like as a teen I’d probably had run off with the first boy who was interested.

Wasn't Austin doing his own renovations for the flips? He could always work as a general contractor/handyman if the flipping dies down.

Arkansas has accessible license info online.  After a quick search, it appears Austin does not have a general contractor's license.  There is, however, a listing for his dad (Terry), but it appears his license is expired as of June 2004.  Under classifications, it lists him/his company has a residential builder.

That's close enough for his probable clientele.

Piercing the left nostril is Ayurvedic ( Indian Medicine) and it is supposed to help with fertility/ease the pain of childbirth. It is very common for women from India ( even 3rd generation at least in my neck of the woods) to have it. In fact, I am not sure I've ever met an east Asian woman without one.

My dumbass in college got it on the right, ha. When I was trying to get pregnant I thought about getting it done on the left but never did.  

I am surprised it is a thing in fundie circles, but I guess it kind of makes sense with their desire to childbirth without pain meds.

It would make sense for Jill given that she's had difficult labors/c-sections. I can't tell if joy has a nose piercing, but it would make sense as she also had difficult first time labor.

So, a family that actively discourages higher education and denigrates it every chance they get is able to score lower level tickets on the 50 yard line to a college football game?  

It IS sad, because they're the right age to be there in the student section!

Joy doesn't strike me as a deep thinker. No different than any other Duggars, save possibly Jessa.

This is my guess too! It probably doesn't even occur to her that she's the right age to be a student. It probably occurs to Austin, but he likely feels superior because he's married with a child, not sleeping with a different girl every night like the student heathens certainly are all doing! He probably feels they should all be jealous of HIM!
