I know I read it somewhere related to I think them but not uncommon in their belief system. I know I am not clever enough, smart enough or demented enough to conjure  that up!  Maybe a Reddit quote?  

I am not sure that it is common to the fundy belief system. I went to a fundy church and none of the women would have tolerated that. The teaching was that yes a woman submits her husband but a man also should put his needs aside and submit to his wife ( this is in the bedroom) so if she wants sex and he has a headache well so sad to bad baby we are doing it tonight. To me it sounds like something someone ( not you lookeyloo) made up. Anyway I thought the consensus was that none of the Duggar men knew enough to satisfy their wives. I will be honest I have no idea why this bothers me so much so I apologize if am  defending them to much.

I deeply resent the fact that my brain retains this information, but per some summaries from people who've read the sex manual that the Duggars apparently get for their wedding night, there is much more emphasis on the woman's pleasure than you'd expect.

No worries. I really feel like I read it somewhere in relation to the Duggars. I even thought it was discussed on one of the threads long ago.  But I do have senior moments so there's that.

I know it's hard to believe, :), but some people come here and on Reddit, etc., and lie just to see what they can get started.  You may well have read it and it could equally be a fabrication.

I unfortunately remember that, too. I think it was on another forum when discussing Smuggar's wedding night, and somebody had quotes from the Ed Wheat book. It was surprisingly woman-centered for anybody, let alone misogynist, patriarchal fundies. 

Please pass the brain bleach, and let us never ever mention any fundie's sex life again. I prefer to think they don't have one, and they just find their kids out in the strawberry patch, like my parents found me.

Agreed! My dad always told me I was hatched!

Very true  I will attempt to delete from my memory too.

Kendra's grandmother Caldwell passed away in June. Per her obit, she has 4 great grandchildren. Three were accounted for. The fourth is Kendra's mystery boy. His name is Justus. 

[dargosmydaddy]

So the first grand-Duggar (as far as we know) with a J-name.

Most important thing to remember about any fundie's kid's name: It could almost always be worse. Here's looking at you, Spurgeon, Heistheway, Nehemiah, Newman, Gideon x2, Jinger, and others. 

There's some debate on Reddit about whether the Tyjeer in the obit is a Caldwell kid or a cousin. And about how to pronounce that monstrosity of a name. 

[Salacious Kitty]

I think all the Caldwell kids are already accounted for. I believe Moriah is their youngest.

I keep hoping that is a typo, but I don't think it is.

Named after relatives named Tyler and Jeremy? What ever the reason the name is rather unfortunate.

It is a really sad name.

Tyjeer

Maybe the attempt of someone home-not-schooled to cre8tively spell "Tiger"? 

[oliviabenson]

I think it’s pronounced 

Tyj (like Taj) eer (like beer)

 

[GeeGolly]

So in July there wasn't a 5th baby, but perhaps there is one now or one on the way.

If I were unfortunate enough to be named Tyjeer, I would just tell people my name was Tiger. 

[Fosca]

So they named the kid after a Monkees album?

Which poor child is named "Heistheway"??

It's a Puritan name we often joke about on here. It's a terrible name, but I always thought it would be more interesting than any of the unfortunate names the Duggars have used for their kids. LOLOL

Ah gotcha. I'm not up on all the grandkids names, and I wasn't sure if it was an actual name that was bestowed on some Unfortunate Duggar grand. Can't tell with these freaks. 😂

It's a fair question for the family that gave us Spurgeon. 😂😂😂

Another fundie family used it for their oldest daughter. Yikes on bikes.

At least my Puritan ancestors chose Hebrew names from the Bible, not an entire sentence!

Hmm, only 4 kids for Joe and Kendra?

What is with these photo shoots? Lets dress in tan, blue, white and pink, so no one can see us at the tan, blue, white and pink beach.

[floridamom]

Is Kendra's mother expecting another one? Is this photo from last summer?

It was the Caldwell Family Christmas post on Instagram. Joe and Kendra's latest model was born summer 2022, Kendra is holding that child.

No idea if her mother is expecting. The pink and blue clothing by Lauren and her mom certainly seem like an anatomy reveal on the beach photo shoot. But no other pics were with it. 🤷‍♀️

I'm surprised and a bit thankful that they don't have number 5 yet. I honestly thought they'd beat Jessa to it, and then zoom past Anna, kid wise.

[Salacious Kitty]

She could be hiding a pregnancy with that kid hiding her midsection. 

[awaken]

Summer 2022?  Then Kendra should certainly be expecting the next one by now!  And her mom definitely looks expectant; the dress sure does seem like a jinder reveal. 

[EmeraldGirl]

Wow, no one really cares about these people. Ha. 

I just saw a Christmas video from the big house. Kendra is heavily pregnant. I have lost track completely of them. How many now? Any ages or names?

oh wait, that could’ve actually been Katey. I just saw a blonde and didn’t know which one it was. And also with the kids. So many roaming around and I have no idea who they belong to. 
 

I don’t like the way all the kids are standing on sofas and tables. Hopefully that’s only at Lolli’s house, and they’re not doing that all over their own house.

I must confess, I did kind of like that big house holiday atmosphere. There was a group playing Hark the Herald Angels, including little Gracie, and Josiah, who we never see. Joe on the piano. And then Jer’s wife just sitting alone quietly with her baby. I don’t know, I grew up with one family with 10 cousins.The three of us paired off with the ones our age. My sister’s got the good cousins, I got the wild gal who was sneaking beer all night long when we were young teens.

I just keep adding to this! This is all in Jana’s Instagram. Then we have a bunch of the boys singing. Just makes me wonder how Josh went so terribly wrong? I don’t know these people at all, like all of us. But they do seem like decent people. And to have that felon as the eldest is just insane.

I don't know anything about Joe and Kendra either, but that was probably Katie that you saw who was big pregnant.  (But Kendra could be too.)  I saw Joe on one of Jinger's vlogs and didn't recognize him.  He had a full beard.

Who seems like decent people???

[EmeraldGirl]

I think some of the grown kids are probably decent people. Despite some of their horrific beliefs, I really like John and Abbie for example.

I have Catholic family that isn’t too far away from them. Luckily, the majority of them are more liberal Catholics.

[Angeltoes]

Katey just had twin girls.

Kendra was in Jinger’s b-day video and didn’t look pregnant at all or it’s too early to show much. I don’t even know if Joe and Kendra post anymore. Maybe they had to while the show was on as promotion. 

[EmeraldGirl]

Josiah’s wife (yep, lost her name because we never see them) looked very pregnant in the Christmas video. Where are they standing on children now? I can only keep up with a couple of them.

[Salacious Kitty]

Yeah, Lauren looks ready to pop. This is her fourth. It will presumably have an F name unless she had another miscarriage after Ezra.

I grew up Catholic and most Catholics I’ve known are NOTHING like judgmental, hateful fundies. 

[EmeraldGirl]

Unfortunately, I did know a few really lousy Catholics. I was in Catholic school for a long, long time, and some of those families were the worst. Always the ones up in the front row in church. Looking all decked out and perfect, and being hateful. But I agree, fundies do seem to have a monopoly on this.

What are the names of Josiah’s kids? So they are doing alphabetical order? That’s only something you would think of when you know you’re going to have a ton of kids. I can see doing the letter thing (not my style), even if you don’t have a really big family.

[Salacious Kitty]

Josiah's kids are Bella, Daisy, and Ezra. A was a miscarriage named Asa, and I presume C was also a named miscarriage. 

[beckie]

Hannah is also pregnant.  And could be blondish. I guess.

My aunt did ABCD. One of her daughters did ABCDEF. Neither of them intended to have that many children -- I don't think it's in any way exclusive to people who plan to have lots of kids. Neither is Catholic, fundie, or religious. My aunt has been married five times and counting. Her daughter has never been married. 

I hope Josiah and Lauren are happy together. 

[beckie]

I saw a video for Jana and JD's birthday and it briefly showed Kendra. She didn't look pregnant,  but who knows?
