Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp

Well, even still, I doubt any of the Duggar kids or Grandkids even know what an essay is.   Most of them have the education level of a third grader.  (remember one of the howlers doing time table as a teenager?)

No, I don't remember that! I wonder if the howler has a learning disability. That's what makes homeschooling even more tricky: having learning disabilities diagnosed and making sure the child gets the best possible treatment.

Joy has posted a video of the their trip to California.   

 

It was odd at how much she was filming her own kids Jer and Jinger's girls are not shown. Also wonder how Jer coped with so many people staying that long. Mama did not make an appearance in the video for a long time and when she did looked and acted a bit odd. I have always liked Austin's sense of humor, more dry not duggary.  Gideon was having a great time. Curious how Michelle felt about being around Jeremy after what he wrote about Josh's conviction.

It didn't seem like Jinger and Jeremy accompanied the rest of the family to the beach or the Celebrity Walk of Fame. They were only really shown at their own home.

Perhaps the beloved TV stars didn't want to be seen out in public with the family.

Joy did mention that Jinger was babysitting because the little kids were napping.  I don’t think she said where Jeremy was. Odd that they wouldn’t show their out-of-town guests around.

I’m imagining JerMe taking one look at the Duggars in that limo the boys were driving around and thinking, Beverly Hillbillies, I’m not going to be seen or photographed with them.

I think it's probably a combo of not wanting to be seen with them and also those sites being old news now to the California side of the family. One of my professors at C of O used to joke with us that you could tell who was a tourist in Branson because they actually went to the shows. LOL

True.  I'm sure they've shown some members of the family places before, and didn't care to visit a third time, particularly if the places weren't all that important to them.  I know I could be a tour guide many times at historical places in Philadelphia and Virginia I love, but not other places.

I'm sure a lot of it is been there done that and Jeremy just flat not wanting to be with the passle of Duggars all day every day.  We used to keep a stack of maps and guidebooks and smile and say enjoy your vacation.  Providing food and a bed was enough imposition on us.

Yeah we live in Florida and sometimes from January to April the guests are non stop. When family comes, they are given beach towels and a smile, lol. We will take a first time visitor to a couple spots but anything else, they are on their own. So I don’t fault Jin and Jer for not being with the Duggar visitors for the tourist attractions.

It is a fair point. When I lived in New Orleans I didn't visit the French Quarter all the time and evidently most of the people that go to the French Quarter are tourists. 

I am still surprised that Jinger at least did not appear to join the family on the beach though. But maybe she was babysitting all of the kids at home. Which would be kind of shitty of Joy and Austin to pass off their kids to their host so that they could go to the beach.

Which of the couples has frequent babysitters? I know Michelle seemed to rely on the older kids for help, but even she didn't leave her kids that often. I can remember maybe two posts where Joy shared she left the kids with Austin's parents, were there some that I missed? I think maybe Jill has left her kids with Cathy a handful of times, but nothing excessive. And of course Jeremy mentioned church folks babysitting his girls, but again is it often?

I'm not trying to defend anyone in this family, but maybe Jinger offered to do it because she knew it would otherwise fall to Jana? And Jinger was one of the oldest four, so she knows what it's like to have kids dumped on you.

Also maybe Jinger doesn't like or didn't want to go to the beach. Not everyone likes the same thing it's possible the beach is not a place she enjoys enough to stay there all day.

I think one or both of Joy's kids stay with Austin's parents whenever she's visiting Carlin, at least while Austin is working during the day.

I see that both of Joy's children have a pacifier sucking issue. Not good. They need to get over that and quick. Austin's orthodontic bills will be ski high. That kid is too old to have a binky in her mouth at this age...especially during the daytime. No need for that. Coping skills need to be learned without that pacifier.

She's not two until August.

If I was a Duggar, I think I'd need more than a pacifier to cope...

All jokes aside, I would think sucking on the paci might be helpful on the plane for the whole ear-pressure thing, since she's too young to chew gum.

Looking at Evy and Layla, the next Bates/Duggar generation, has me thinking about a Duggar/Bates wedding that has never happened. Who is left? Jackson marrying Addie or Ellie. Johannah and Jackson B? Tyler and Callie?  Jordyn and Josie with Jud and Jeb?

Other than Jackson B working for Jer, I wonder if the younger kids in the families ever see each other? Not that it matters much seeing as these marriages happen long distance too.

Do y'all think a Duggar/Bates wedding will ever happen?

No I don’t think one will. I don’t think the families were ever that close, and now with Josh’s conviction, the Duggars as a family have lost so much status in fundy culture. I think the kids will get married if they want to, BUT they won’t be “catches” the way they were in 2008-15.

Not anytime soon. Too many overweening egos in the parental units.
