There is nothing wrong with any of those three types, but it's terribly limited, just as it would be if someone's learning were only reading (and some people within that group didn't read very well.).

homeperm October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 I too would like to know about the School of the Stink Bus. Of course, Boob's & MEchelle's reply would be that they are learning by being at the rallies. I'm sure there's no beforehand planning for their lessons (if they do actually do schoolwork) like researching about the states they are going to, how many miles they are traveling for math lessons, etc. Exactly, there are so many opportunities to learn while traveling. I fail to see any sort of importance on education in their family. It's depressing. They treat the kids like possessions, and at their political events, props. The girls really lose out and that's where I am disgusted. How does any person look at their daughter and see nothing other than something to put a bow on while they wait for the child to become of breeding age? Kids are amazing, full of ideas and opinions. Mullet and Boob seem never to have noticed that. I'm guessing, because, they are only interested in themselves. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/9/#findComment-512045

SmallTownMom October 28, 2014 Share October 28, 2014 (edited) I never actually thought much of homeschooling. I thought the kids were too sheltered and not really learning anything. Now I work with a woman who homeschooled her kids. They were in a co-op and met many other people, did real theater productions, music lessons, languages, even had proms for their co-op. Her kids are both so smart and well-rounded. Her son got a full scholarship to a Technical School and is now doing police training. I have to say, I am very impressed with homeschooling when done correctly! The Duggars, however, are raising a bunch of unkempt and uneducated kids. Very sheltered, no real friends, and nothing to look forward to except marriage and having babies. Don't tell me how much they learn when they travel. They don't learn anything about that country's culture, and can't speak of their trip intelligently. The Great Wall of China was described as "big" and "neat". I think the real reason the Duggars homeschool is because they are too darned lazy to get these kids up and out the door in the morning. Shame on them. Getting back to my earlier post about playing, you never see these kids playing outside. Who plays ball in the house when you have all that land? And all those little girls would have so much fun with a play kitchen and play food. My little 2-year-old granddaughter loves to "cook" for me and is so imaginative that she tells me to blow on my food because it is too hot. She loves to feed her babies with her play food. (Surely that activity would be Duggar-approved!) And she loves toddler time at the library. My heart breaks for these little ones.

lucille66 October 30, 2014 Share October 30, 2014 On the episode "All About Jill", I thought is was comical how Jill was describing the girls' perming phase. She said the perms weren't just for added body, but they were full perms. Then she made a disgusted look like, "Yuck!". I wonder if Michelle got the hint. The time the girls surprised her with a makeover at the salon where her friend worked, it was quite obvious she didn't like the outcome. I think she made a comment about how she looked like she just came out of the shower. How insulting to the salon workers and her friend. But mush-minded Michelle couldn't see that it looked tons better than the rat's nest she had. She immediately went back to the tight-permed look, and she couldn't wait for her hair grow back because they cut off sooo much. This woman is so set in her gothardite ways. When she's in her eighties and her hair is gray, will she be sporting the same hairstyle?

There is no way that the entire family got showers the day of the ceremony. Maybe the little kids could have bathed the evening before, but it would still be a challenge to get all the adults showered and out the door unless they had a ton of bathrooms or communal showers. The whole family looks like stink lines should be emanating from their bodies all the time. I would not be surprised that they get showers once a week. Twice if they are courting! Jill got to the church with her hair dry but not styled, which tells that she showered the night before or (ugh) a day earlier. But then, why not just be the last person to shower, leave for the church right away, and finish styling her hair at the church? She would have had less frizz and her skin would have looked fresher in general.

I would think it would be a nice thing to do to have a nice bubble bath, and in her case, hot tea, without having to share that space with a million other people. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/9/#findComment-521439

Barb23 October 31, 2014 Share October 31, 2014 Someone mentioned the Duggar girls seem chesty by how they looked in the bridesmaids dresses. I think part of it was because of the belts. The girls usually aren't shown wearing belts and their shirts are never tucked in. Is this because it would draw attention to their waists? GEML- is this part of the Gothard dress code? (I'm just throwing the question out to you since you are our go to person for all things Gothard. I really appreciate all your insight :) Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/9/#findComment-523040
GEML November 1, 2014 Share November 1, 2014 I actually don't know. The Bates girls wear shirts that show waists, so that's a counterpoint. I can think of several other Fundy groups that do as well. But during their strictest Gothard phase was also the time they dressed in those hideous smock dresses with the big collars, so it might be a Gothard thing.

abseedee November 1, 2014 Share November 1, 2014 (edited) Wives are actually supposed to dress to please their husbands! Loophole! Well then! Looks like Derick likes shorter skirts on Jill. I'm still trying to figure out if Jill is wear tights, leggings or pants under that skirt. Aaaaand his hair is almost the same as when Jill first met him.

NikSac November 1, 2014 Share November 1, 2014 I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but I would love to know how these girls get their hair to hold a curl. My hair is bra strap length at the longest point, and if I blow out my natural waves, my hair is completely unable to hold a curl in ANY setting for longer than 45 minutes. I assumed it was just too long, but these girls have much longer hair. lol you're not alone. I can't get mine to hold a curl either and I've always wondered about these girls' hair! It's like magic. Maybe they should come up with a hair-care line... they could probably make a fortune. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/9/#findComment-523276
Almost 3000 November 1, 2014 Share November 1, 2014 (edited) I'm going to give Michelle a compliment on her MOB dress. Wait for it. Here it comes. It was better than the Kleinfeld bright white, puffy sleeve "custom" vow renewal dress. Plus she was wearing nice ballet flats with a bit of a bow or flower on the toe which would have been an appropriate choice for the bride too.

Maybe they should come up with a hair-care line... they could probably make a fortune. In their online video on YouTube I believe it is Jessa who is showing how they do their hair. They spray it with a humungous amount of hair spray likely super hold and while the hair is wet/damp wrap it wringlet style around a curling iron and uncoil it as it cools and fluff out with their fingers and then spray it a few thousand times more. The curl should hold then but you can't brush after that or the curls would uncoil. I have short hair and no idea why I watched but I did! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/9/#findComment-524219
GEML November 1, 2014 Share November 1, 2014 I was in a wedding once where the bride's mother was a hairdresser. She came in and saw us, everyone freshly shampooed and nearly died. "You weren't supposed to wash your hair this morning!" she yelled and didn't stop until several cans of hairspray had been emptied later. :) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/9/#findComment-524733
abseedee November 1, 2014 Share November 1, 2014 (edited) Many many years ago I was a cosmetologist and when a bridal party came in the morning we'd wash, set or blow dry and then use a curling iron with no problem having curls stay. The trick was a setting lotion applied to the wet hair before the drying and curling process and instead of brushing it out we'd use a hair pick through the curls or waves. Maybe the term setting lotion is not used anymore but I'm sure there are current similar products. It would be great if the girls could get a hold of some and use that instead of using so much hairspray.

GEML November 2, 2014 Share November 2, 2014 That's probably still the right product when you are at a salon. I will say that I have yet to attend a Fundy wedding where salon hair appointments (let alone professional make-up) happens for the bridal party. Most brides at this point do get one, however.

fliptopbox November 2, 2014 Share November 2, 2014 I always wondered, why is curled hair always associated with wedding hairstyles? That seems to be the default go-to look for 90% of all brides with chin length hair or longer. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/9/#findComment-525785

Maybe they should come up with a hair-care line... they could probably make a fortune. I think they just have a texture that holds curl easily. I have the opposite problem - even with blowouts, it wants to get very big and wavy if there's even a hint of moisture in the air.
