Why do all of the Duggar boys suddenly have that haircut?

I'm guessing old picture to try to get people not to speculate about pregnancy.

I swear I saw a comment asking them to write a book.

No matter, Carlin is happy for them.

 

It's either that or shave their heads, and I doubt they'd consider bald melons appropriate for Christians, or some damn thing. Really, there isn't much they can do with their particular pattern baldness. 

The Duggars male, younger, are screwed. I wonder if Jim Bob gloats to them that he still has his helmet.

Abbie may have enjoyed her nursing, but she also may have just been doing it until she found a guy to settle down with and start a family.  She may absolutely adore just being a wife and mother.  Plenty of non-fundie women do. 

With most nursing careers, there's a lot of continuing education.  She may or may not be keeping her skills current, but It doesn't mean she can't or won't go back to the workplace at some point.   What Abbie is doing now could be exactly what she wants. 

She & JD seem happy, healthy and enjoy their cute little girl.  An occasional Insta shill is no big deal.

I'm sure it depends where you live, but I'm an LPN who makes about 60,000 a year.  I know other LPN's in my area who make 90,000 a year.  It just depends what kind of nursing you want to do and how many hours you work.  She could definitely make enough to support a family in Arkansas.

Plus health insurance.

Sorry, I left out that $40-$50,000 is average LPN income for Arkansas. Of course, that assumes full-time work. Even working part time would bring in significant income to the family without being too stressful. You can’t tell me John works a 40 hour week.

She'd also have a bunch of options workwise between all the hospitals, nursing homes, medical facilities in the NWA area if she didn't mind a bit of a commute. It's not like where I live where you either work at the hospital or the nursing home, do home health care, or commute over an hour one way to go to work.

I could picture Abbie working as a private duty pediatric home health nurse.  I would think that could meet the Duggar modesty standards too.  I assume the Duggars consider nursing in general not appropriate because of the potential to see male genitals?  I suppose a women's health clinic could be another option, but that would tie her down to a more rigid schedule.

I believe she previously worked with the elderly and said she loved it.

I can see JD "allowing" it and yes I hate to use that word, at some point. 

There may come a day when he doesn’t have much choice. The TLC gravy train is going to stop and depending on handouts from Jim Bob is risky. And what happens when Jim Bob dies? I seriously doubt that he’ll leave his estate divided equally among his kids. He’ll designate someone to be in charge of doling out the family trust and if it’s Michelle, she’ll award the lion’s share to her favorites (which I don’t think includes JD). 
There’s another gruesome possibility. Jim Bob is a relatively young man. Let’s say that Josh gets a ten year prison sentence. By the time he gets out, Jim Bob will likely still be around and, given their warped value system, I wouldn’t put it past JB and Michelle to leave their firstborn Crown Prince in charge of everything. And if Josh ever gets his hands on the purse strings, he’ll spend his days making his siblings suffer. The Duggar boys and their wives may be forced to go out and get real jobs in the outside world.

Coming soon, to a Walmart in NWA...

I don't know, maybe if they need money and she really works hard to convince him. IMHO, he's still a male Duggar. He's still all about the patriarchy and sexist BS. The Duggars are also adverse to working outside the family. And if she was working , she would be on a schedule and would not be available for parts of the day or for random vacations.
