VioletNevermind July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 (edited) Yes, this is a heavily-edited TV show. Yes, Jessa is hyper-aware of her image and cultivates it carefully. Yes, I realize that we're seeing a tiny microcosm of these folks' lives. Despite all of that, I have to say, I'm impressed with Jessa's ability and willingness to be an actual, in-the-trenches mother. It was only a couple of years ago that I still viewed her as a nasty, spoiled princess. It stands to reason that she would be a decent mother. She got a hell of a lot of parenting experience throughout her preteen, teen, and young adult years. Of course, when comparing her to MEchelle, pretty much anyone is a good mother. (Maybe I just need to check the batteries in my carbon monoxide alarms to be sure I'm getting enough oxygen to my brain.)

In fact, it's the source of quite a bit of tension in the good ol' USA. I, personally, have no issue with things like signs being written in both English and Spanish, but I know many, many people who do. In my opinion, it boils down to common sense decisions. If one chooses to live in an area where a majority of the community speaks Spanish (as Jinger and Babe have), it might behoove one to learn it so that everyone can communicate effectively. The same goes for native Spanish-speakers learning English. I think we fight over silly things like this way too much in America. YMMV, of course.

Sew Sumi July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 (edited) Tyler is Mechelle's grand-nephew. His mother had him very young and has had drug/alcohol problems, became unable to care for him, so she granted custody of him to her mother, Mechelle's older sister. Then Mechelle's sister had a stroke and couldn't care for him, either. Duggars took over temporary custody, but were granted permanent guardianship, I guess because the sister isn't capable of taking him back. I guess this could be reversed at some point in the future, but sister is in her 60's, and I saw her on crutches on pictures before she had her stroke, so she's not a good bet to raise this kid up.
