 Why a young couple would choose to have a baby every year in this day and age is beyond me.

Brainwashed by their arrogant, ridiculous parents to believe that God wants wants wants and absolutely must must have THEIR babies THEIR babies THEIR BABIES ....and LOTS of them......or some great battle for the fate of the universe will be lost....lost, I tells ya, without all of THEM THEM THEM.

Identical girls. One has a small birthmark on her upper left chest. That's the only difference, and the one way we could be sure which one was which when they were infants. My husband was gone for 6 months shortly after they were born, and when he came home, had a hard time identifying which was which. That birthmark helped.  😂 As they've gotten older, it's become easier to tell them apart. One is right handed, and one is left handed for example.

I once taught identical boys who were pretty naughty/mischievous and loved to pretend to be the other.  They hated the fact that I would look them in the eye and correctly call out which was which.  One of them had a very small chickenpox scar right above his eyebrow.

My girls try and fool us occasionally. Grandma got fooled when she came for Christmas. Their brother clued her in. Lol He's never had a problem telling them apart, interestingly.

I too hope Joe and Kendra slow down now. She seemed a bit surprised by this pregnancy, and three kids this close together can’t be easy. I had my sons 21 months apart, and that gap is the reason we stopped at 2!

Will Kendra home school herself, or send all of the kids to the TTH to be grouped with all of the other grandchildren?

Well if she keeps popping them out like tic tacs then it’s off to the big house for “school”.

This is so sad, honestly I know that’s their beliefs but surely some of them must question this.

And, again, with Brooklyn being the name of a large city, that first name does not suggest anything appropriate to a Duggar to me, at all. The only Duggar reference to a city anybody remembers is the day Jingle was shushed and rerouted when she admitted she'd like to live in one. 

Seems to me a more appropriate Duggar kid name would be "Walmart Praise Duggar," 

My thoughts exactly. "Town-Big-Enough-For-a-Walmart Duggar." Village Duggar. Hamlet Duggar. No, wait, not that one...

Someone on Reddit mentioned that the Brooklyn Praise sounded like a God-fearing basketball team and now that's all I can think of.

Sadly, according to the mathematical "Birth Paradox", and given just how many Duggars there are, at least half of us here share a birthday with at least one Duggar.

I have tried on and off to understand this principle, but just can never get my brain around it.

Shush, you just shush.   It might have been about this last pregnancy, but I know I've commented that we're about to witness the life and vitality drain right out of that girl at this pace.   We definitely don't need to speed it up.

[ozziemom]

Poor Kendra, she seems so clueless. Her siblings are not as close together IIRC. I think the soon to be baby is #9 and Kendra was born when her mom was 20. Hopefully the baby train slows down but no signs of it so far.

I was just looking, neither I, my kids or husband share a birthday with any of them. For now...

But it's  close - my son is 2 days before Gideon, my husband 2 days before Johannah, and I am a day before Michael.

 

Edit - no, my girl is the same date as Grace. Stupid me

It's 80 days they have to wait after they have a girl, right? So theoretically they could be popping out another one due in...January? And if they had a boy, they could theoretically have two in 2022 if they get on it right away...<shudder>

Not understanding the different timeframes after a girl or a boy, can you explain?

It's some "Biblical" rule the Duggars follow about how long before a woman is allowed to have sex following giving birth. The timeline is longer for a girl than a boy. I think it's a corruption of some Leviticus rule or something, because these people were trying to cosplay Jews for a while.

I agree. I don't care how much of an eternal optimist Kendra is, the rapid succession of pregnancies will eventually take its' toll. Boob was Joe's role model for fatherhood, which means Joe likely doesn't do much in terms of childcare and housework. If Kendra doesn't slow her roll, a laundry room breakdown is in her future.

Ah, convenient scriptural cherrypicking at work, should have guessed.   Of course when it suits their purposes they also denounce the faith and beliefs of others.   

Thank you.

Yep, it is based on Jewish Law derived from Leviticus which says that women are unclean after giving birth and girl children cause her to be unclean longer than boys.  It's 40 days for a son, 80 for a daughter.  In the Orthodox Jewish faith, the new mother participates in a purification ritual prior to resuming her sex life.  If you've ever heard of the Christian celebration called Candlemas; it is meant to commemorate the purification of Mary after the birth of Jesus.  The purification usually involves a mikvah, a ritual bath; same as the one Orthodox Jewish women must do after their period before resuming relations with the husband.  I used to work with a nurse who was Orthodox and she did this every month.

I don't think the Duggars do the ritual bath part, but they do observe the abstinence part.  Or so they say

Only tangentially on topic, but at one point in my life I lived across the street from a couple whose dog AND their baby were both named Bailey.

Now there’s a profound lack of imagination.

I used to live down the street from a family where the dad was named Dwayne, the son was named Dwayne, and the dog was named Dwayne. It turns out the name we gave our son when he was born was the 2nd most popular dog name from that year. He is so lucky we didn't name him Lady.

I don't think waiting the 80 days rather than the 40 matter. I think Addy and Brooklyn are closer in age than Garrett and Addy.

Oh, I didn't realize it was based on actual sound scientific principles.   Totally understand the Duggar appeal now.

I realize it probably ties into the story of Adam and Eve, but the centuries of oppression tied to this kind of shit is infuriating.
