Temperance April 13, 2020 Share April 13, 2020 This part of Lauren's message makes my spidey-sense tingle. "I know a lot of us can’t go to church or spend this day with the ones we love like we wish to." No one in the USA should be going to church today that I know of. It could be just away to placate their non-social distancing friends, but it sounds like maybe they did go somewhere. There were recent pictures of them at the TTH so they broke quarantine once. 1 5 Link to comment

Scarlett45 April 15, 2020 Share April 15, 2020 Replying to @Nysha from the JD & Abbie thread. I agree. Being an eldest girl, although it comes it a lot of work, also comes with a lot of praise, attention and power in these fundy families. Lauren was used to being the head of her group of siblings and now among the Duggars she’s a “nobody“. I don’t think Josiah is into her the way Joe is into Kendra (no comment about his sexuality I just don’t think he’s crazy about her). I don’t see Josiah being mean to her, but I can see it being hard to live with someone who’s just “okay” with you and you’re expecting great love. I do think she is cute and dresses a hell of a lot better than most of the Duggar girls. She, Jinger and Kendra are the best dressed (not in that order though). 12 Link to comment

I also think Lauren learned early on that whining brought her parents' attention. Being one of many causes you to find your own way for either Mom or Dad to pay you any mind. One or both of her parents rewarded the whining, and she does it as an adult. She is too young to realize she doesn't have to whine to get Josiah's attention, there are other ways. It's no different than Jessa being a raging bitch. Or Josiah as a child before it was indoctrinated out of him. You gotta do what you gotta do in order to get a sliver of your parents' attention. It takes years to unlearn, and that is after you have an epiphany about why you behave that way. I don't see Lauren ever having that epiphany. 1 11 Link to comment

More noticeable on the 2nd picture of the top ones & definitely in the Easter picture where she is looking down. Hoping she will have bangs when she gets older to make her forehead less noticeable. ETA: I usually love bald headed babies (I was one myself) but there's something about Bella that makes me skeevy. It may just be the large head & forehead. OK, I'll show myself to the Prayer Closet for picking on babies looks. I'm hoping there's a good Jesus jigsaw puzzle to work on while I'm there as they have been my go to during the quarantine. 6 Link to comment

Portia April 18, 2020 Share April 18, 2020 (edited) Quote It’s called Easter. Are you declaring a war on Easter, Josiah? Do you hate Jesus and Christianity? On the contrary, people who insist on calling it Resurrection Day will tell you that they're the ones keeping the focus on Jesus. The word Easter does have its roots in ancient Paganism.

I think Lauren's eyes look like they're maybe gray or hazel. It is genetically possible for brown eyed parents to have a blue eyed child, though. My sister and brother in law both have brown eyes. Among their 3 kids; 1 had hazel eyes, 1 is brown eyed and 1 has bright blue eyes. JB and Mechelle both have blue eyes, it appears, so chances are that most, if not all, of their kids do too. There are at least 6 genes that determine eye color, there is also a genetic issue called variable penetrance. Those things combined give a wide variety of possible eye colors. It even causes some people, like actress Jane Seymour, to have two different colored eyes. Edited April 27, 2020 by doodlebug 7 2 Link to comment

And though it's not my experience in my family--we can be pretty dark in coloring, so a lot of us, myself included, were born with dark eyes and they've stayed that way--@Scarlett45 is right about Caucasian babies often starting out blue eyed before their eye color changes.

He probably got that color from his mom since she’s white, we’re African-American and our Scottish ancestry was about six generations back. Genetics can unpredictable like that.

I googled the young lady of which you speak. She (below) DOES look like an older prettier Lauren. Now I do think Lauren is pretty, but her face is more “interesting” rather than classically doll like. Lauren’s large eyes and fuller lips make it interesting, and I think her El Salvadoran ancestry makes her stand out in the fundy world as far as beauty standards go.

She also seems fairly mature and not much of a whiner despite moving to Cleveland in the midst of a dark, rainy, cold spring and almost immediately having to self quarantine; so the resemblance is only skin deep, methinks. 5 Link to comment
