Return to Amish: Our Journey So Far


Recommended Posts

I read rumors (or speculations?) during the first season that Rebecca's oldest was Abe's, but I don't know if they were true.  I assumed if nothing else they'd given the child Abe's last name now that they're a family.  Schmucker is a pretty common Amish/Pennsylvania Dutch name.  So is Stoltzfus (Kate's last name).  Neither of these factoids is relevant but since I live close to Pennsylvania Amish country I find it amusing.

Here's my theory about Rebecca's eldest daughter. I think her father is Andrew and that's why nobody wanted to talk about it and why they all got SO mad in those reunion shows when they kept getting asked.

Either that, or Abe IS the father to both children and they were under contract not to discuss it because that would mean they definitely knew eachother very well prior to taping the show.

 

It has to be either Andrew or Abe, because that little girl looks exactly like a Schmucker!

Yes, she did say that during a checkup and ultra sound. I can't believe she really meant it. I feel sorry for her, not having family support, but she can be annoying.

Does she have any support from the baby's father? I've never seen him or heard of his support.

I would love to read some of Mary's recipes. The Christmas dinner looked so good..lol

Not sure why I'm still watching this one. The initial draw was the promise of a peek into Amish life. It still is. We see little bits and pieces this season, primarily via Chester, Mary and Katie Ann (Yes, I realize "reality" has been stretched in some interesting ways by this franchise.). Kate's story, as someone who is making an honest effort to transition into "English" life, also is interesting to me. I'm not sure her story is compelling enough to carry an entire show, though. Maybe. Maybe not.

The rest of them? If I wanted to watch a bunch of self-important dumbasses stir up trouble for no reason and rumble over ridiculous things, I'd go home and reconnect with my family. Not my idea of entertainment.

I almost watch in spite of the rest of these numbskulls.
