My son, who is the age of the older Duggars, had the chicken pox when he was in kindergarten (~1995) & passed it to his younger cousins as well as a neighbor family with young children. I think the vaccine came out soon after. But they still should have had any child vaccinated that was born after this or didn't catch it from their older siblings. We don't know for sure if they vaccinate or not as Josie was shown getting some. But for the rest, I think it was sheer laziness on M & JB's part to take them to the doctors for checkups & vaccines & to keep track of each kid's visits &vaccines even tho the doctors office would keep records. I think it was a hit or miss kind of situation. Some may have gotten them, some not. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/73802-jd-and-abbie-captured-before-the-rapture/page/26/#findComment-5410483

Saylii July 1, 2019 Share July 1, 2019 I think the weirder thing is the speculation that Abbie wasn’t at the funeral. Unless she was very sick the morning of the funeral, I can’t see her missing it just to keep from debuting a 2-month “baby bump”. Even if they were too busy to come back for Ivy’s birth or just didn’t care, there’s no way JD goes to the funeral and she doesn’t without something being seriously wrong. Plus they didn’t have any Grandma Mary tributes, did they? Even Josiah and Lauren kept up their social media through the month of October (miscarriage was the first weekend of October), then went silent into the holiday season. I really don’t think Abbie will turn up 6-7 months pregnant. The only time that happened was when all the Smuggar stuff went down and Anna waited to announce. I can’t imagine Abbie would want to hide from the public for that long just for some weird gotcha reveal for her first child. I have to think if she’s pregnant, she’s due in Dec or Jan. (Honestly, I almost think something went wrong in their marriage very quickly. If it was just pregnancy & HG, some kind of social media presence could be kept up by JD and the sisters. This feels purposeful). 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/73802-jd-and-abbie-captured-before-the-rapture/page/26/#findComment-5411731

Maybe he is over his family and is starting a real life on his own with Abbie. Maybe he has a job and Abbie has a job too. He didn't fly anyone to the Bates wedding, so I wonder if he went.

Good for them for staying off social media and enjoying their first year of marriage and working on building a life together. I hope one of the reasons why they have been silent is that a baby is in their 2-5 year plan and they are practicing some kind of birth control. 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/73802-jd-and-abbie-captured-before-the-rapture/page/26/#findComment-5455412

I think there is a genuine affection bordering on love between JD and Abby, and this is probably the most egalitarian.

I hope one of the reasons why they have been silent is that a baby is in their 2-5 year plan and they are practicing some kind of birth control. I think the fact that they've been so quiet, and the in-laws haven't started some sort of evangelical blog or singing troupe, is fascinating. I would put JD/Abbie alongside Joy/Austin as the two couples who would have existed with or without the TV show. Joy/Austin always struck me as childhood friends who were reasonably compatible and it seemed practical, and JD seems legit smitten by Abbie. I'm sure JD and Abbie have the same shitty views as the rest of the clan, but they've got the good sense and polite manners to keep their mouths shut and their heads down about it. 15 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/73802-jd-and-abbie-captured-before-the-rapture/page/26/#findComment-5455532
PikaScrewChu July 18, 2019 Share July 18, 2019 I don't think Austin would have married Joy without the D-List fame. Remember that the Forsyths immediately included her in the Fort Rock banner as soon as the courtship was announced. They were looking for a bride that could bring in more $$$ to their business. Had Joy been Joy Duggar the daughter of Jim Bob Duggar the Leech, she wouldn't have even been in the running. Rather she was Joy Duggar, one of the stars of TLC's Counting On. It was very much a business transaction on both sides, although it seems to have worked out? I'm still on the fence about Austin. The Burnetts are just very interesting in that we don't know much about them besides they are deep in the IBLP kool-aid, but let their daughters do NIKE things like nursing and wear pants. The dad isn't a pastor trying to hitch his wagon to JB nor is JRod heading off to try and park her RV in their driveway. 2 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/73802-jd-and-abbie-captured-before-the-rapture/page/26/#findComment-5455828
YupItsMe July 18, 2019 Share July 18, 2019 At least we know she’s alive. Well maybe we do, there still no proof. I was beginning to worry when she didn’t even show up at Grandma Duggar’s funeral. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/73802-jd-and-abbie-captured-before-the-rapture/page/26/#findComment-5455861
