Discussing the charges against Jana is fine, but do not post any information that reveals her address/contact information- even if said documents are public (i.e. a part of court proceedings.)

Discussing charges against Jana is NOT a jumping off point to speculate on other instances abuse/neglect etc towards the M-children or to elaborate on Josh's conviction and potential victims.

Maybe Jana needs her own thread as a token of the respect she’ll never garner as a single woman in Gothardland.

How about both hop in the plane close the door really quickly and fly off.  Abbie: "Where are we going?" JD: Cayman Islands. We're elope. And we're not coming back! Abbie: Wait we need

Wow, so this is what, the fourth guy to publicly release a statement denying involvement with Jana? That must be doing wonders for her self-esteem.  These guys are starting to piss me off, though

I don't think JB looks good at all.  Maybe some legal & other things are waring on him.

He now looks exactly like that large-headed "foodie" guy on QVC. Twins.

Mullet told the story of baby Jesus complete with baby voice, huh? Cool.

Giggler DIL (Kendra?) always looks 50 times cleaner than the cleanest Duggar. I wonder if she scrubs down when she gets home.

I hope Joy's Secret Gifter got her a new denim skirt.

Jana and JB posing together gives me the creeps. Yuck.

Mull's not in the gift-opening pix because she's off sorting out her Starbucks giftcards that everyone had to buy for her.

That picture of Giddy holding the steering wheel backwards is hilarious.

Lauren is really special. I remember back when she was dining out with her future SsIL. She mentioned she couldn't have dessert because she promised herself she wouldn't. Then during the marriage retreat she bailed twice. First because Josiah wasn't agreeing with her and then because she was ill. And here at the Duggar Christmas, she's sets up camp on a couch that is somewhat separate from the group and doesn't appear to interact with anyone. 

And I forget to mention that she went on and on about how learning is hard for her, but she went to college anyway.

In the scheme of things, Lauren has been given a pretty cushy life, yet it seems she wants the world to think it's hard and she somehow manages to struggle through every single minute of it.

I'm guessing if she was at a Christmas gathering of 6, her behavior would be the same.

My first thought of her on the couch was that she was exactly where she wanted to be. Around no one except the only thing that matters to her, Bella. Next year she'll be in that same spot with Bella sitting next to her and a newborn on her lap. She really is special....

TBH, being around all those people and chaos would make me retreat also.

Me too. I was just wondering how on earth someone who's an introvert would survive in a big family like that. 

I think a lot of Jana's work is her being an introvert who finds a socially acceptable way, in their belief system, to hide. I mean, obviously someone has to actually do things in the family, but I know when I didn't want to deal with company, rather than retreat and be frowned upon for being anti-social, I'd go do the dishes by myself. People left me alone but thought I was tremendously considerate. LOL I wouldn't be surprised at all if that drives her too.

You know for all the snark on Lauren, she's actually holding her daughter. Kendra has two kids and isn't paying too much attention to either of them. 

 

i took it the exact opposite way -- i noticed that the other moms were letting their kids enjoy the whole scenario. lauren was holding bella with a 'dont come near us' attitude, choosing not to participate. wonder if they are gonna be the 'dont touch her' kind of parents?

It's also Lauren's first kid versus Kendra already having 2. I could see Kendra being more relaxed about it for that reason and also because she has a calmer, more easy-going personality to begin with.

If her daughter was older, I might agree with you. Since the kid is less than 2 months old, Lauren's behavior seems appropriate. Kendra's child is only 8 days older than Bella and she's already passing her off for other people to take care of.

I think Lauren is standoffish by nature whereas Kendra is social and more of a joiner. I also think Lauren might have expected more attention for fulfilling her womanly duty and is a little miffed that she isn't getting it. Bella is just one in a stream of recent granddaughters. For Lauren, her first child is understandably a big deal, but for the Duggars it's an average Tuesday.

I think another reason she doesn't get the attention she thinks she deserves is that she's married to Josiah, who is definitely not one of his parents' favorites. He's not one of the kids that Michelle had any interest in (Josh, Jessa and Josie are the only ones she gives a crap about) and Jim Bob always seemed to actively dislike him. Lauren and Bella are never going to get any special treatment.

Yes, her baby is still an infant, and could pick up extremely dangerous viruses such as RSV (my elderly father died of this a couple weeks ago 😢) and passing her around to dozens of people increases this risk.

That's the way I looked at it too. It was just how her face looked. I really hope she isn't one that doesn't let others touch her kid(s).My parents neighbor's were like this with their child. It was the weirdest thing I had ever heard. Apparently their doctor told them to not let anyone hold their child. So my parents never even touched the kid. He's now 7, but until he was about 5, he never left either of his parents side and would barely talk to my mom and dad. He didn't do well in school early on either because he was always attached to his mom and dad. Now this past summer he would go over anytime my parents were outside and never stopped talking, so he did finally get out of that phase.

DANCING???

LOL, sorry, I forgot who I was describing... not literally dancing, of course. Not really jumping for joy, either, or whatever asinine expression they came up with that one time when Jackson was a toddler moving to the music. But she was on her feet kind of swaying around and rocking her arms with the baby. It's around the 12:00 minute mark of the video (the focus is on the idiot boys and the pogo stick; Hannie and Bella are on the right edge of the screen) if anyone wants to check it out.

But I can't tell if Jer is conventionally attractive or if he's just the one that doesn't look like a cookie cutter Duggar boy and thus is a novelty. 

 In another thread we’ve recently posted pictures of young Jim Bob. He looks just like his father at around his age. That’s not a good predictor for the future.

I think he's mildly above average in general--he looks more "cute" than really handsome to me, though he's certainly not hideous-looking--but compared to his brothers he's like a runway model.

Better to resemble Jim Bob than Michelle the crone. At least Jim Bob is aging reasonably well and doesn't make one think "and your little dog, too!"

Ice cream to celebrate the big 21! Whee!!

On I am Jazz, the twins turned 21 also. Their parents took them out for some shots. Say what you will about Jazz's parents, but they do it right, lol.

InTouch has a  shade-throwing piece:  21 Things Jeremiah and Jedidiah Duggar Are Still Not Allowed to Do at Age 21. Heh. It's semi-stupid but nicely snarky. Obviously, "run for political office" is not on the list.

Jer is by miles better looking than any of his brethren.  Jed, I'd still like to slap.  He's what I call a self-important weenie.  So now they are legal to do everything that they will never do.  Are their shitty parents going to buy them a sundae?  

No, they're not going to buy the sundaes, they get them free on their birthday.
