SusieQZie June 12, 2014 Share June 12, 2014 I swore I wasn't going to watch this, as I have always muted the TV when she is on, but i couldn't find the remote, so I was stuck. Awful, awful, awful.

Lola16 June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 I could swear Amy recorded tracks and had a music website under "Amy Jordyn" a long time ago. If she still had a public facebook I'd check that for you. It also just seems so unlikely to me that someone as fundie-traditional as Deanna wouldn't give her kid her father's last name even if they weren't together. (Yes, it's also odd that she'd get pregnant out of wedlock, but...we all know how these people like to pick and choose what they follow.) Edit: internet wayback machine to the rescue! http://web.archive.org/web/20070324044908/http://www.amyjordyn.com/ I think she genuinely thought her "natural talent" coupled with the Duggar name (and Jesus on her side) would be enough to get her a deal with the first studio she tried. She's an odd looking girl. I rarely watch the Duggars but I knew I saw her a couple/few years back on their show as the jean wearing cousin and totally thought they were using each other for ratings. I don't blame her for following her dream. I don't see her putting in the real effort that it takes. Her voice is OK. She is OK looking. So she has to work hard to get anywhere. That's just how it goes. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8800-s08e12-a-duggar-leaves-the-home/page/2/#findComment-126826

Sew Sumi June 14, 2014 Share June 14, 2014 Famy appears to have a new boyfriend. I am not sure about the rules about linking social media, so I'll just direct everyone to her Instagram. I got nosy and looked at his page; it's plastered with pics of her, including one of her in a defrauding bikini (posted on a weekday when most people are at work).

Almost 3000 June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 Amy's mom didn't marry the dad until more recently. It seemed like Amy used his last name until the Duggar name could help with her career. Deanna probably used Duggar until she married him and maybe still does. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8800-s08e12-a-duggar-leaves-the-home/page/2/#findComment-131863

ghoulina June 16, 2014 Share June 16, 2014 Does Amy have a regular job? If so, she needs to hang on to it... On this episode it showed her saying goodbye to the family she nannies for.

floridamom June 16, 2014 Share June 16, 2014 Nannying? That's an insult to real, property trained nannies who live with and stay with a family to give the children in the family consistant, professional care. Sorry, IMO, Amy is a babysitter, like any junior high or high school kid does for extra money. She is a woman of 28...Grow up, Amy. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8800-s08e12-a-duggar-leaves-the-home/page/2/#findComment-134427
CarolMK June 17, 2014 Share June 17, 2014 I think Deanna Duggar used to work in a doctor's office, though I have no idea if it was as a receptionist, office manager, billing clerk. etc. Has Amy ever had any other job besides working as a babysitter/nanny?

floridamom June 17, 2014 Share June 17, 2014 They have never, to my knowledge, said that Amy worked at anything else but babysitting. That is something for schoolkids to do. Amy has consequently wasted the last 10 years of her life hanging around and appearing on her uncle's show. She is an immature, silly woman who acts like a teenager. She seriously needs some talking to about her life's work and her age...she's 28!! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8800-s08e12-a-duggar-leaves-the-home/page/2/#findComment-135760
ghoulina June 17, 2014 Share June 17, 2014 Maybe she just really likes kids? I was a nanny to a lovely family for several years until their boys went to school. I was 26 when I started the job. I didn't live in, as they didn't require it. They just didn't want to put their kids in daycare, preferred for them to be in their own home. They didn't want a "schoolkid" because they tend to be flighty. They wanted someone who was going to be committed for as long as they needed a nanny. I did pre-school type work with them, took them to museums and the zoo and classes. I don't know that there needs to be an age limit on being a nanny. That family seemed to adore her, and that's what matters. Taking care of someone's children all day long is no minor thing, and if that's how Amy wants to make a living, I won't judge her for that. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8800-s08e12-a-duggar-leaves-the-home/page/2/#findComment-135897
awaken June 22, 2014 Share June 22, 2014 Wow. That was terrible. Amy would not make it past Hollywood round on American Idol, much less to Nashville stardom. If she does, it will be on name recognition alone, and not her voice. I did not hear anything noteworthy or special about her performance. It sounded so timid and flat and out of tune. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8800-s08e12-a-duggar-leaves-the-home/page/2/#findComment-146085

Johannah and Jenny probably already have jurisdictions. My guess is Jordyn-Grace, the forgotten female howler. Because after all, she's, what, 5 or so by now?

McKay July 3, 2014 Share July 3, 2014 It's funny/alarming to look back and realize that when Jinger was Jackson's age, she was already taking care of a large portion of the household. Meanwhile, Jackson is barely expected to tie his own shoes. Hell, compare Jinger in the first special to Jackson as he is now in general - there's been a steady pattern of dumbening (if I may borrow that "word" from Lisa Simpson) in this family. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8800-s08e12-a-duggar-leaves-the-home/page/2/#findComment-173221
