Joe & Kendra: Looking Forward To Side Hugs

[BigBingerBro]

[Chicklet]

The baby looks fake, like she's carrying around her daughter's doll. And their kids look more like her family than Duggars which could be good or bad depending.

I *think* that might actually be her sister and not her daughter in the picture... Looking at the full post on the Caldwell's Instagram, there is a picture at the end with two of Kendra's brothers holding the two babies, and the larger one (which is presumably Brooklyn, since she's older) is wearing bluish/ lavender. Bizarrely, Kendra's mom is not in any of the pictures, but there are multiple ones showing Lauren Caldwell shopping for baby clothes, so it looks like two sisters with babies, rather than the bizarre inter-generational, sister-momming outing that is is.

[Chicklet]

Yea I grew up in a family like that , luckily not fundy, just....odd. It is still weird.

[ozziemom]

Poor Lauren probably had to take all her siblings shopping while Mom and Dad are alone together. Or if Mrs. Caldwell was there, she is happy to let her older kids wrangle the little ones.

There’s one pic that both Kendra and Lauren are in so someone had to take it. Kendra looks really good. I know it’s probably youth and good genes, but she bounced back very well.

I was unaware of that concept, but you nailed it!  Especially the baby....

Joy had a post on IG that said Breaking News- Kendra is pregnant.  I don't see it now so maybe she jumped the gun on their announcement?

Breaking news. Lol. I'm sooooo surprised. 

[iwantcookies]

So a baby every year or so. I’m exhausted for her. Off to take a nap…

[Snow Fairy]

Every time I see this thread is active, I assume there is a pregnancy announcement

Breaking news would be “Kendra decides to wait 2 years before having another kid.” 

[GeeGolly]

@emmawoodhouse broke that story before the sperm was even swimming. Old news, Joy, old news.

Yes. Joy posted a picture of Kendra holding her stomach.  It said Kendra was pregnant.   Now the post is gone

I realize Kendra is barely an adult and can probably bounce back after each pregnancy but geez Joe, get off of her and give her uterus a chance to chill.  At this rate, isn't she outpacing Big Meech in terms of babies pumped out relative to age?

Joe how you plan to support everyone when JB will stop giving you the $? These 2 are not very smart.

The same could be said for almost all of the kidults.

Can y'all imagine if men were the ones carrying babies and giving birth? This quiverfull bullshit would be interpreted very differently, for sure.

[Cinnabon]

They need some detailed lessons in the rhythm method. If she is regular, it can work quite well.

To quote Gloria Steinem, " If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." Gloria attributed it to a female cab driver in Boston who said it to her.

Are you referring only to the sons? Derick, Austin, and Jeremy (if he ever comes to terms that he’ll never be famous, just infamous) are able to provide for their families.

You are correct. I meant that for the kidults that are still solely under JB’s thumb. Not the ones that can provide for their families!

The problem is they want Kendra to get pregnant. I wish she would have followed her mom's example and spread out her babies. Hopefully, when she has her laundry room melt-down, she and Joe will be smart enough to quit.

So true.  I just watched a show on Netflix (reality show, i think it's called An Unorthodox life) and just wow.  there really are people out there like the Duggars - it is like a cult, no ifs, ands or buts.  They were fundies.

I was considering that John David MAY have enough skills to support himself without Daddy, but that may just be wishful .

Austin seemed independent when they first married, but now he doesn’t even have a current contractor’s license. They bought their house from JB, and he’s been involved with some of the Mediccorps scams. Derick is the only one I believe can support his family independently at this point.

Derick is the only one we have seen furthering his education because he actually has a real one! We have also seen him actually work at a job not funded by JB. 

[Kiss my mutt]

I’m sure her mother won’t be far behind. 

[GeeGolly]

Like the Duggar females and their homemaking, schedule shock will be an initial struggle if the Duggar males work out in the real world. Although if Joe becomes a money making real estate agent, he can have a more flexible schedule.

I thought Ben had the only real independent job in the beginning. Derick's mom got him a job at Walmart and Jeremy's dad got him the Laredo preaching gig.

Didn’t Bin work for his dad’s auto glass company (or something similar)?

I thought he fixed auto glass. I wasn't aware it was his dad's company.

Maybe it wasn’t, I’m not sure.

[SMama]

IIRC Bin also worked part-time at an insurance agency, although there were no specific details about his position. Pa Seewald screwed up royally when he sold his teenage son to JB thinking it would lead to fame. Having two jobs at 17, even if part-time indicates a good work ethic. Ben could have been done with a four year degree by age 22. Instead, he’s breeding for Jesus, depends on JB to feed and clothe his kids, and is a Duggar for all practical purposes.

[irisheyes]

I think the SILs will be ok, since they weren’t raised as Duggars. Their families actually worked at real jobs, so they know how it works. It’ll be a huge shift for Ben and Jeremy, but they can do it. The Duggar boys are the ones who will be in deep sh—.

Now, don't forget, Jeremee has a bachelor's degree and some hours toward a master's, IIRC. He's now furthering his professional education by studying brown-nosing for a degree at the Seminary of St. MacArthur in LA. Majoring in some kind of religious stuff, I assume, with a strong minor in aspirational social media work. (Or do I have the major and minor mixed up?)

ETA: I know, you don't really "major" in subjects at the grad level. I just have not a clue about the curriculum at the seminary, nor do I care to know.  And Jeremee's such a wonderful target for snark, I can't help it.
