debbie311 June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 Haven't watched this show in a while and after last night I know why. Why did those girls drag all those kids to the consignment sale? They should have gone in shifts, taken turns. I did not get the impression the store was that far from home. Anna does indeed look like she is sedated or brain damaged. They all have big smiles on their faces when they are talking - who does that? And it appears that Jana has no responsibilities at home at all. I think she was opening up a store or something. What are they doing now that Joy is married? Those lazy boys are no help. What does Michelle do all day? And for that matter, Jim-Bob? Jinger and Jessa are ok. Jill is annoying. Joy seems "off" to me. Josie looks like a brat. 5 Link to comment

This grated on me so much that I came back today to join the Amen Corner and mention it again. Maybe there's a news story here: Genetic gender-based deficiency discovered!

Could it be they may actually plan their family and use birth control? I don't know. Jeremy's talking a good game, but his wife has been indoctrinated all her life that her role is to pump out babies. Jinger is going to be constantly hammered with the "are you pregnant yet?" questions from her parents and siblings. Didn't Jill ask her that on this episode? I believe that the pressure on Jinger from her family won't let up. I hope JereME will be sensitive enough to her mental state to be supportive, after the honeymoon stage of their marriage is over and Jinger's family of origin continues its nonstop inquisition about the state of her uterus.

realitytvbitch980 June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 I really like Austin and Joy. I mean, they really do seem like the most normal couple. Austin dresses and looks like a man. Unlike Derick with that hideous man bun and then Ben's stupid ass hairdo lol. I really like the fact that Austin doesn't look to me like the "yes, dear" type. Like, he has some kind of backbone, you know? Jeremy and JINGER. Annoying. The constant "babe" ruined it for me. And it really annoys me how none of these girls work, yet when they show them they're either just sitting around or on their phones or anything but acting like a "housewife". The only one I saw busting her ass was Joy. All the other girls seem so damn lazy. And its pathetic, for being so young, they shouldn't be this low energy. 2 Link to comment
Tahitigirl June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 This episode is brought to you by the words "ain't" and "like." Joy's grammar had me cringing throughout the entire first half. Maybe Austin thinks it's charming but it would drive me batty. I could not live with that on a daily basis. 22 Link to comment

saylubee June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 (edited) I give Jinger a pass. If Spurgeon's first birthday was really all that important, I would have expected Jinger to pick another date for her wedding so it could be celebrated day of. I expect she gave Spurgeon a gift and a kiss on his real birthday. I guess Jill was using extended breastfeeding as a form of birth control? She was going back to breastfeed Izzy, which he would have been almost 19 months old when this was filmed. Most women I know that did the extended breastfeeding were down to doing it only at nap and cuddle times. The fact that she interrupted shopping to do it was strange. Why couldn't she give him a sippy cup like we've seen in the past? They are so inconsistent with Izzy. Edited June 21, 2017 by saylubee 1 Link to comment
Barb23 June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 I noticed in the shot when Anna walked in the TTH, Boob was holding Mer. In the next shot, Anna is holding both Marcus & Mer. I'm sure Boob couldn't wait to dump Mer on Anna. I know Mer probably reached for & wanted her mom, but couldn't he have passed her off onto someone else? Poor Anna was trying to deal with all the questions & I'm sure Marcus still needed some comforting. She didn't need to be dealing with Mer then esp with a houseful of people to help. I know it's mother's guilt, but I felt sorry for Anna when Marcus fell & her explaining what happened. It's like she was getting her thoughts together &thinking what she would tell Josh, like he would blame her. I'm probably reading more into this but I just got that vibe from her. 1 minute ago, Barb23 said: I noticed Jill & nursing Izzy too. I figured she did it at the store to calm him down & hopefully have him fall asleep since he definitely needed a nap. 1 Link to comment
Marigold June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 Ok, was anyone surprised that they didn't show the blood gushing out of M kid's head with some footage at the hospital getting stitched????? M-kid screaming and a nurse holding him down. Anna freaking out and doing a TH while he kid is hysterical? Maybe the frantic drive to the hospital while they soak up the blood with a (new) diaper? I was shocked that they didn't exploit this like Josie's seizure, J-boy falling into the orchestra pit and all the disgusting dentist trips/oral surgery, puking and all the rest. I seriously wonder why this wasn't more of a storyline. I am secretly hoping that Anna and Josh the Perv showed an ounce of compassion for their injured child and didn't want medical footage aired. 5 Link to comment
Beaner June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 Oh, that just gave me the worst flashback. When my son was two, he tripped over a toy and cut his face (next to his eyebrow,) on another toy on the floor (yeah, too many toys...) Anyhow, it took Mr. Bean, myself, and two nurses to hold him down (screaming and petrified) while the doctor stitched him up. Poor baby. That sucked. 3 Link to comment
GeeGolly June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 Did Jessa say Jinger's wedding fell on Spurgeon's birthday? Cuz, not really, I know they're struggling with math and all, but Jinger's wedding isn't a rolling holiday like Easter. Jinger picked that date after Spurgeon was born. Jinger and everyone else already knew when Spurgie was turning one on November 5th. If being around for his first birthday was that important she wouldn't have picked the exact date of his birth to get married. 9 Link to comment
Popular Post floridamom June 21, 2017 Popular Post Share June 21, 2017 Since I was a stay at home mother when my children were still napping ages, I DIDN'T go out shopping during their nap times. I worked around THEM and their needs. It was always better, if I could avoid interrupting that time for them. Absolutely NO reason why these mothers couldn't either have left those children at home with a sitter, or went at another time of day. They're stay at home mothers and don't seem to have anything else to do; as they don't clean their houses or cook; they eat at the 'big house' all the time. Many of us wonder if Marcus' accident was a staged thing. Something strange about it just rubs me the wrong way about this. No real crying from Marcus, Anna acting like a zombie throughout the ordeal at the store; Jill also was quite unemotional getting in the car; Marcus had an unusually large and loose head bandage. Anna shouldn't have gone to a noisy, crowded house with him; he needed to be at home resting in a more quiet environment.. JMHO on this one. I agree that Spurge's first birthday wasn't SURPRISINGLY on Jinger's wedding day. They already had that information while wedding planning. Jessa really just doesn't know what she's talking about. She thinks she's smarter and more educated than she actually is. Figuring out how many birthdays have been celebrated is an easy math 'problem', Jill. Just add up the ages of the family members you want to include and that's how many birthdays they have celebrated. All those Duggars reacted like it was some advanced college algebraic equation. Goes to show you, I doubt they can pass a high school GED test. I also want to thank everyone here for your 'likes'.

My younger son was a big one for visits to the ER...The worst was one which was not even necessary as it turned out. When he was about two, he somehow got hold of a bottle of tylenol. I guess back in the day they didn't all come with child-proof caps, I don't remember, but at any rate, he had gotten it open and proceeded to dump them in the bathtub where many went down the drain, but we could not be sure that he hadn't eaten some of them and he couldn't tell us. So off we went to get his stomach pumped. As it turned out, there was no evidence that he had ingested any. Poor little guy, bundled up with tubes down his throat...Actually, it wasn't even the ER proper...we had a doctor living next door to us on base (this was when we were stationed in Guam) who more than once helped us out with various things this kid had managed to do to himself. He even warned us that maybe we might keep a better eye on him. Until the time that he took him for half an hour to play on the swings with his own son, roughly the same age and came back a few minutes later needing to take him into the office for a couple of stitches in a head wound. He apologized, and said that Greg was obviously just one of those kids who was going to manage to bang himself up no matter how closely he was watched. 8 Link to comment

humbleopinion June 22, 2017 Share June 22, 2017 Conspiracy that the preacher plans to keep Jinge all to himself on Spooge's birthday and away from the family birthday celebration by going on a TLC paid for and planned first anniversary trip and retrospective on their courtship, wedding and first year of marriage show. TLC shooting schedule otherwise known as "our bread and butter" wins every time and his birthday was the best date for the production company to stage the wedding. The family plays fast and loose with birthdays and Spooge will get his birthday celebrated just not on his exact birth date annually. 1 Link to comment
