Of course, unemployed couples who already have 3 kids to feed are at the top of any list for adoption.

Just something to talk about for the show, about nothing, except obsession with pregnancies.

What do Ben and Jessa actually do all day?

sandi said...

Yes,Jessa and Ben have said that at least 2 or 3 times before,and they've never adopted.Nothing new there

Lizzyb said...

There's no way J&B would be able to adopt from any legitimate adoption agency. They apparently don't work and live in a very small house with no room for an additional child. This is just more fodder for the show and for Jessa to act smug.

Do you think any of the LLC’s that the Duggar’s have tried to get any of that payroll protection program money due to COVID?

Jill posted pictures from James birthday outing. Were all Duggar’s there? I saw Jana in one picture and I could see JimBob sending her as chaperone so Jill doesn’t try to talk James about banned subjects.

Aunt Bea said...

Jana has stated nothing new that she hasn't said for years now about getting married and not being married. The girl (she's a 30 year old woman) can't complete a sentence without hesitating in the middle of it and shyly finishing her sentence with an air of doubt in what she's trying to say. This woman of 30 yrs old is still emotionally a child. Sure, she 'runs' her mother's household and bosses around the other ones but take her out of her mother's house, where she feels safe and that's all she knows and she can't function in the real world on her own. Just what they want for all of their daughters. There is a reason Jana hasn't 'oked' any of her supposed suitors. I doubt that there have been that many seeking her out.

I think that Jana will be courting this season, and marriage next season. Otherwise, I think people are done with this family. And the ratings will show that.

Re the GED... If some Duggar’s took the GED it’s not the same as earning a HS diploma. The GED does not cover Chemistry, Physics, advanced math or foreign languages. I don’t think the Duggar’s took the aforementioned classes.

Sparkey said...

As I recall, when Jill & Derick were in El Salvador Jill was taking a Spanish class. However Jill always appeared disinterested as if she preferred to be elsewhere. I don’t believe Jill took the class seriously therefore she never learned the Spanish language. Jill’s homeschool experience never taught sound ways in which to study & learn.

Jill's "homeschool experience" was to learn how to read and change diapers.

Pregnancy obsessed pics. Fertility abounds. Not one of them has a job. Not one of their husbands has a job. As far as I know...Joy's husband flips houses.

Why does TLC think viewing audience will find Ben shaving his beard interesting? I watched 2 minutes then changed the channel.

Mickey2942 said...

Ben shaves now? Wow! Milestone for him!

The Counting On that came on after the Duggar Dash episode...had a conglomerate montage of Duggar weddings. Of course, Jush & D'Anna's wasn't included...but I thought it was rather sad that Jill's wedding and dress buying and wedding decorating, etc. was missing. More privacy for the Dillards I guess.

They should have just done calculations for ovulation dates and pregnancy due dates.
