Duggars By the Dozen - General Discussion - Part 6

An article about tomorrow's episode says Josh and Anna will "make news" :think:

http://www.examiner.com/article/amy-dug ... d-counting

I just noticed that they describing the second episode as "new"...but it's not. It's one that aired a few weeks ago.The courtship on the horizon thing and making a decision that could change one of their daughter's lives is about Jill and when she skypes Derick and then asks her parents to make a trip to Nepal.

It was filmed almost 6 months ago. Whatever "news" they made is long past and documented by Smuggar on Instagram.

Jonathan Steiger graduated University of Arkansas last year, class of 2013. I think he's older than he looks. Maybe one for Jana? :pray:

Am I missing something? Who's this Steiger kid?

ETA: Oh, nvm just read the comments. Interesting theory. Maybe..

[16strong]

Is it just me or does he kind of look like a young, dark-haired Jim Bob?

The clean cut, beardless Christian man appearance? Yes.

Looks like a dork? Yes

From Arkansas? Yes.

Citizen of Fundieland? Signs point to yes.

Better off keeping his mouth shut? Cannot predict now

And wtf is a degree in applied science? :confusion-shrug: :confusion-shrug: :confusion-shrug:

Amy is singing at Jill's wedding. Will she be accompanied by howlers?

I wonder if Jill wanted her to or this was just good publicity

Hmm, maybe, he definitely looks older on his Facebook pics. On linkedin it says that he worked at Walmart - wasn't that Derick also, who's working at Walmart? Maybe they were colleagues?

[ILoveJellybeans]

Awww that video is cute, and now my toddler is screaming at me to put the baby on again!

[actuallyjessica]

anna is definitely pregnant. ain't no way that isn't a baby bump in the kitchen video. she looks at least 4 months pregnant.

[Oz1977]

Yeah her belly looks higher up and firm than just a regular soft stomach pooch especially in the kitchen video when she Marcus is basically sitting on top of her belly! She looks so tired and pale in the clip where she's pushing Marcus on the swing.

[anjulibai]

I think she looks pregnant, too. That belly isn't mushy, like it was last fall and this winter. It's definitely firm. She may end up giving birth this year, which would surprise me. I was expecting her to go every other year, but maybe not.

He vowed at his wedding to have as many babies as god sent, and it looks to me like Anna intends to hold him to that vow....

I had three kids in three years. And it was chaotic, but manageable. I was in mummy mode and my life was toddlers and nappies and Nick Jr and play dates. I also found it intensely rewarding and revelled in my changing relationship with each child.

Now they are 10, 8 and 7 though? It's so much harder giving each of them the time and relationship they need, supporting all their educations (in public school), arranging their extra curricularals and social needs, managing a house and working part time, dealing with early stages of puberty in my eldest..... It's more demanding than babies toddlers and preschoolers. And I don't think Anna comprehends that - I didn't. The early years are actually the easy part.

It's extremely hard to do it right like you are doing. If you just warehouse your children it probably feels different. I really don't know.

Ugh! Those David Waller videos make my blood boil. Why is it ok for Paul to play in the puddle, but not Mackynzie? Because he's a boy? I'd understand if they were going somewhere, but it seemed as though they were all just heading to the park.

Which video was that?

I thought it was sweet, Priscilla playing with Kenzie. She seems to me like she is a good mom. I can't tell obviously from just David's videos, but what I have seen, she seems like a sweet woman who is good with the kids. (God that sounded sooo fundie)

I didn't see the video, so correct me if I'm wrong, but from everything we've seen of Mackynzie she's the type of little kid who gets freaked out by messy stuff. She got really upset about throwing the flower petals n the ground when she was a flower girl. When she was doing her school lesson she really, really wants it to be perfect. I thought it was funny that Anna had to tell her the saying they used was "practice makes progress" because Mackenzie said " practice makes perfect"...,so it sounds like something that comes up with her a lot. Some little kids are just like that.

They have time for this but not anything else that will benefit them?

I wish someone would rally against people having large families. Since the Duggars love to speak about abortion, then someone else should speak about limiting the number of kids one person can have. Michelle has her rights so let's take her rights of having nineteen kids away.

[singsingsing]

This is what makes me 51% sure that Anna is actually pregnant this time:

(She's the one in the back)

And the fact that she's got that slightly ill/tired look she usually has during early pregnancy.

I hope the schedule sheet shown was out of date because Josiah is still assigned to the bathrooms jurisdiction. How many years has it been?

I couldn't tell whether David's response was literal or gently pointing out the sexism. I have no doubt about his general view on gender roles, but my sense was that he didn't see why a little girl couldn't play in a puddle.

I think she looks pregnant, too. That belly isn't mushy, like it was last fall and this winter. It's definitely firm. She may end up giving birth this year, which would surprise me. I was expecting her to go every other year, but maybe not.

I'll guess around October/November.

If you're on Instagram, go to @duggarfam and fight the good fight. A lot of Judgey McJudgersons over there spouting the usual bullshit. I just got one asking me if I knew where I would go when I die. I told her that since I don't believe in either heaven or hell, her question is immaterial. Then she threw up some crap about knowing I'd get a speeding ticket. I told her to look up "straw man."
