Michelle has always relied on her older daughters to cook & clean the Duggar home. I believe Michelle referred to chores as jurisdictions? This method of managing the daughters gave Michelle the time to continue her pregnancies. Michelle is just lazy.

For lunch with my neighbor, I once attempted to make the Duggar tater tot casserole in a sized down version. First bite was awful too greasy & salty. Tossed contents into garbage disposal. We then ordered a veggie pizza.

Re Lauren & home birth OMG NO!!

All is quiet in Duggarville--someone's having a baby, I bet.

IMO it seems the Duggar’s view pregnancy as a game & baby’s as just an after fact. The fact that now home births seem to be the way to go says it all. For the pregnant Moms its a dangerous game the Duggar’s are playing & the biggest one cheering on home births with no concern for the Moms or unborn babies is Jim Bob & Michelle as both always appear to be at the heart of every birth. JB & M are duplicitous.

To Michelle Duggar, I say before you begin to criticize Kendra or anyone else clean up your own home. You lose respectability & credibility when yo choose to engage in this nonsensical behavior.

Clearly Anna Duggar suffers from low self esteem & lacks confidence always appears as a deer in the headlights or a lost soul. Anna is brainwashed to the point of no original thought. Anna will continue to have babies until she can no longer reproduce. I believe Josh just uses Anna. Josh is all about Josh. A leopard does not change its spots. Josh appears uninvolved with his kids. This guy has no visible life skills. Thanks to Josh’s parents he has no extended education, Josh’s 1st big boy job ended in failure because he was involved in illicit behavior & cheating. If Josh as a teen had been allowed to date as many teens do then perhaps he may have avoided the behavior. Also if Josh had been provided a college education he would have learned to think & develop a career. Jim Bob & Michelle have very poor parenting & judgment skills. Continually relying on the Gothard Cult way of life has become an epic failure as is obvious & especially in the lives of Jill, Josh & Jana.

Jill has two children that she can't manage now. In addition, both were cesarean births. She used to say that she wanted as many children as possible. And even wanted to adopt children.

I wonder, if being an adult, and responsible for two children has made Jill realize that she doesn't have to follow the family mantra?

I have always felt badly for the children Michelle had after #12, because it seemed like JB wanted her to have as many as possible for his TLC show.

Z said...

Jim Bob & Michelle relate to children as a commodity. They believe producing as many children as possible boost ratings. These Duggar’s don’t think about the lives of these children to them it’s a non entity. JB & M are not very bright people.

DeeLee said...

Can’t really refer to Jill as an adult. Regarding her responsibility for the 2 boys I question because it appears Jill’s main priority is her Instagram & the boys are 2nd.

The way in which the Duggar’s home school is a detriment to the children. These kids are not taught even the basic fundamentals. A good example is Joseph & Josiah as both have struggled with the basics of reading & comprehension. The curricular used to home school the Duggar’s was developed by the Gothard way. Why can’t or won’t Arkansas CPS intervene? Now the grandkids will suffer at the hands of their parents & will be taught as their parents were taught via the Gothard method of home schooling. It’s obvious neither Jill, Jessa or Anna are equipped with the intelligence & knowledge to home school their children however each is too dense too realize the disservice they are causing to their children by stunting the growth of their education.

Beyond said...

I don’t believe that Jill, Jessa, Jinger & Joy will choose to have a massive number of kids. The only one I see headed in that direction is Anna as she seeks approval from JB & M & is a pleaser so she will continue to have more children as she is incapable to think for herself. Not sure about Kendra or Lauren. I don’t believe Abbie will want a massive number of children as well.
