When I was around the age of the middle duggars I had a crush on Jeremiah I thought he was the cutest, now I just saw a recent picture of him and WHAT HAPPENED?!

I haven't been keeping up with Duggar nonsense for a few months so I just found out what Jeremiah and Hannah named their daughter and I have decided I hate this, actually, and it's definitely my least favorite Duggar grandchild name. I know that Spurgeon and Israel are probably more stupid, but Brynley is that flavor of made up trendy white people names that arouses a particular amount of anger in me. I dislike Madyson and Mackynzie for similar reasons.
So, anyone wanna share any Duggar grandchild names they hate the most and why? Middle names also count.
(please keep this thread for snarking on the names and not the kids themselves. It's not the kids fault their parents are Dugs and they're all minors. I see the names as free reign though since that's on the parents not the kids)

Nuclear family explodes

The Daily Times Feburary 21, 1999

State Rep. Jim Bob Duggar and his wife, Michelle, have more than a nuclear family. Consider it a nuclear explosion family.
In the last 10 years, they've had 11 children, including two sets of twins. Mrs. Duggar also has had one miscarriage. The young couple -- he's 33, she's 32 -- consider their children a blessing from God. For now, they've set no limit on the number of children they will have.
"I love them. She loves them," says Duggar, "We've welcomed each one into our family."
Duggar, who does real estate work and recently sold a car sales business, is one of the 57 new House members this year. A Republican, he represents Springdale, but he and his family are living in a friend's very large home in Conway so they can be together during the months of the session. The friend is living elsewhere.
If Duggar can keep track of bills as well as he he keeps track of his children, he shouldn't have any trouble. He takes one or two children with him to work or, these days, to the session so he can get to know them and they can get to know him.
He and his family pray together every morning and the children help get him ready for work. While Duggar was putting on his socks one day, his 2 year-old son waddled over to Daddy's shoes and brought them to him.
At the end of a day at the Legislature, Duggar can tick off the names and ages of his children just as easily as singing "Do Re Mi" -- Joshua, 10; Jana and John David, 9; Jill, 7; Jessa, 6; Jinger, 5; Joseph, 4; Josiah, 2; Joyanna, 1: Jeremiah and Jedidiah, born Dec. 30.
Mrs. Duggar is mother and teacher to her children. She holds school at home, now a 5,000-square-foot ranch house on an expansive lot, shaded by a broad maple tree. Her grandmother also had two sets of twins.
"We rise anywhere from 7 to 7:30, 8 in the morning. We all get around the table and we have our devotions together. We pray and then I have story time with them, just like a biography of great Christians. We eat breakfast and then Dad leaves for work," she says.
Schedules for each child are neatly written on separate sheets of paper. Each is assigned housekeeping responsibilities, in addition to their school duties. The schedules line the side of the refrigerator. On a table nearby are styrofoam drinking cups, each with a child's name on it.
Each child also has a set of chores. "It works great," Mrs. Duggar says. "They think it's great. It's part of life and making things happen. It gives them a sense of responsibility."
"We're not just having these babies just to be having the children," Mrs. Duggar insists. "We're raising these children and desiring to train them to instruct them and to teach them in the right way."

13 Children Add Up To Asset For Challenger

QuiverFull September 9, 2001

Jim Bob Duggar looks calm. He might even be calm. There's not a strand out of place on his Ken-doll hair. This is remarkable not only because there are 13 children playing at his feet--his 13 children--but also because he's a state representative waging a long-shot campaign for the U.S. Senate.
There are people more stressed after a trip to the grocery store than this man seemingly is on his worst day. "I just feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing," says Jim Bob, a 36-year-old lifelong Springdale resident who has been known as a one-issue politician--a conservative Republican who cares only about stopping abortions.
Now, Jim Bob is known as the candidate with enough moxie--or perhaps not enough sense--to challenge incumbent Sen. Tim Hutchinson in the Republican primary.
Those 13 children, born during Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's 17 years of marriage, are family values personified. They're a highly visible asset facing a GOP incumbent viewed as politically vulnerable in 2002 because of his divorce and second marriage to a former Senate staff member.
"We're going to do it together as a family," Michelle, 34, says of the race. "It's not just, 'Daddy's doing this.' ... We stick together like glue."
The "we" includes Joshua, "Joshy," 13; twins Jana, "Banana," and John-David, 11; Jill "Muffin," 10; Jessa, "Blessa," 8; Jinger, "Jin-Jin," 7; Joseph, "Joe-Joe," 6; Josiah, "Siah," 5; Joy-Anna, "Jogees," 3; "The Dynamic Duo" twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 2; Jason, "Jay Bird," 1, who with "The Dynamic Duo" forms "The Three Musketeers"; and James, 8 weeks.
Jim Bob regularly brings his children, whom Michelle home schools, to Little Rock and the state Capitol where his eldest, Joshua, is known as "Governor."
"God put us in there," the Baptist says of winning his first political race in 1999. "We just knew this is the way our family is going to serve our community."
Jim Bob wasn't involved in politics until Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992.
"I saw how things were," he says. He supported Republican Fay Boozman's failed U.S. Senate race. During this time, he went to a Little Rock rally to back a state ban on partial-birth abortions. Thousands of people showed for the protest, but Jim Bob says, "Still, a lot of those senators and representatives did not vote the right way."
So Jim Bob prayed.
"I prayed, 'Lord, I would be willing to run for office,' " he says. "I'd vote the right way."
Jim Bob didn't run the next election cycle because the timing didn't feel right. But he ran and won in 1999, when he temporarily moved his family to Little Rock for the legislative session and sold all his businesses to concentrate on politics.
He has had various jobs through the years. Michelle jokes that she read a list of the Top 10 worst jobs, and her husband has had seven of them, including insurance salesman and used car salesman.
The Duggars had a turning point in their lives 11 years ago when Jim Bob attended a meeting that discussed financial freedom through living a debt-free life. Michelle eventually attended the meeting, too, and now she and Jim Bob conduct the seminars out of their home.
By getting out of debt and not purchasing anything unless they have cash, the Duggars have saved enough to make investments in such things as rental and commercial property. Their investments have done so well that Jim Bob doesn't have to work a full-time job.
"I've learned self control and also a lot about construction," he says. And, "All these different businesses that I've been in have really given me a broad perspective of what the average person has to go through every day."
Because of his work situation, says Mary Duggar, Jim Bob's mother, "He probably gets to spend more time with his family than most men do."
"I'm very careful on what events I go to," Jim Bob says. "I just try to prioritize."
Back when the Duggars only had a few kids and were living at a home on their car lot, Jim Bob was the victim of an armed robbery during which he was bound and gagged. The incident helps him keep things in perspective today.
"I feel like I'm living on overtime," Jim Bob says, "so politics is nothing."
Politics really does seem like nothing compared to a house almost literally full of children. Just ask Michelle.
She had a desperate, blunt conversation with God one day while standing amid piles of laundry--and this is back when she only had seven children.
"I love 'em, but I think I'm going to go crazy!" she cried to the Lord.
"It was a sacrifice to praise God at that point," Michelle says. But she did. She started singing a song to honor him. Within a week, the children's piano teacher, Ruth Anita Anderson, whom they've come to call Nana, made an offer to help with the laundry.
"God just provided Nana," Michelle says.
Her laundry room today is equipped with two washers and three dryers. There are bins and bins of presorted clothes with labels clearly addressing what clothes are where. Two deep freezers also happen to be in the room, which is just off the kitchen.
Off the other side of the laundry room is the family's closet--the only closet used for clothes in the entire house. Both for space and convenience, the family keeps its clothes together. They don't use dressers because there's more room without them. And the bedroom closets--the children share three bedrooms and lots of bunk beds--are used for storage for such things as each child's violin.
"We are working on a family orchestra," Michelle says. " 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' is about as far as we get."
It's amazing to watch 15 people in action in a 2,450-square-foot house. Eight recliners fill the front family room, but there are no coffee tables to clutter anyone's path. Michelle has packed away her knickknacks until the children are grown and gone. Family photographs and other pictures on the walls are some of the house's only decorations.
A photocopier adorns the end table next to Michelle and Jim Bob's bed, and there's a file cabinet in her closet.
The one-family closet works well in part since the kids are constantly growing and clothes are passed from one child to the next. Michelle and the children also make many of their own clothes and buy items from Goodwill. Jim Bob says he probably spends less for clothes on his 13 children than do parents of two children.
"Now, food's a different matter," he says. The Duggars spend an average of $1,000 a month on food.
Michelle goes to the grocery store every other day to pick up three gallons of milk and fresh fruits and vegetables instead of making one big weekly trip with four or five grocery carts.
"I don't like to do it that way," she says. "It just almost overwhelms the poor cashier when we come through."
If it takes this many special arrangements and this much preparation simply to live, why would Jim Bob complicate things by joining the Legislature and, now, running for the Senate? Doesn't he have enough to handle at home?
"Our family is our hobby," says Jim Bob, who doesn't have pursuits like golf or tennis. Though when the family does play sports, Jill says, "We have a whole team here."
"Two teams," Jim Bob says.
The former Michelle Ruark has an easygoing openness and friendliness that extends to each person she meets. As she and Jim Bob sit on the plastic blue auditorium seats that serve as the family's dining room chairs, she rests her hand on her husband's leg and joyfully proclaims her beliefs in God, Jim Bob and the sanctity of family. Strains of "Amazing Grace" can be heard from the next room where her children practice piano and violin in one of the girls' rooms that doubles as a music room.
But Jim Bob doesn't for one second forget that a reporter is in the room, and he guards what both he and his wife say. When talk turns to his primary race against Hutchinson, Michelle starts telling of the day Jim Bob decided to challenge him.
Jim Bob quickly lets her know there's one part of the story they won't be telling. Michelle questions his decision, not seeing a problem with sharing it. But then, following a few brief whispers, she smiles and simply goes on with the part she can tell.
Michelle was headed out the door to a prayer meeting when Jim Bob brought up the idea of running for Senate. He said he felt pressed to run and asked Michelle to pray about it.
"I just felt like I should run," Jim Bob says. "It's not because I am so smart."
Jim Bob supported Hutchinson in past races. He says his decision to run now has nothing to do with Hutchinson's martial troubles, including his remarriage after divorcing his wife of 29 years. Jim Bob doesn't even bring up the issues, which have kept the state--specifically past and present Hutchinson supporters in Northwest Arkansas--talking.
State Rep. Jeremy Hutchinson, Tim Hutchinson's son, practically was Jim Bob's legislative seatmate when Jim Bob made his Senate decision.
"It's nothing against you or your family," Jim Bob told the younger Hutchinson, who wasn't happy but listened.
Next, Jim Bob called Tim Hutchinson.
"I hope you can relate to this a little bit having been a pastor before, but I feel called to run for a seat--your seat," Jim Bob told him.
"I'm just gonna run a clean race," Jim Bob continued. "Are you committed to running a clean race? "And he said, 'Oh, yeah,' [and] kind of laughed," Jim Bob says.
Hutchinson didn't return a call for comment for this story.
An editorial cartoon that ran in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette when Jim Bob announced his candidacy hangs on the Duggars' dining room wall. It shows Jim Bob as a tiny Republican elephant kicking a huge boxer, who represents Hutchinson. The caption reads: "The first challenge came from unexpected quarters."
"We're not in it to kick [anyone]," Joshua says in defense of his father. "We're in the race because we feel God has told us to run. We're not against any of our opponents in any way."
The Duggars consider the Bible something of an owner's manual, a how-to for life. They sometimes employ "time outs" to discipline their children, but they also think the Bible teaches parents to spank and even instructs on how to do it.
The children and Michelle recite a new Bible passage each morning, and they have actions to go with the words. For instance, when reciting Exodus 20, verses 1-17, the children run a finger along their necks in a quick swipe, as if killing themselves, as they read the passage, "Thou shall not kill."
Religion wasn't always the focal point of Michelle's life.
She was 15 and had been living in Springdale since age 4 when a friend talked to her about a movie that told of the end of the world. Michelle wanted to make sure she'd be ready, so when her friend invited her to a revival, she eagerly went.
Jim Bob and a friend were making visitations to reach out to potential church members, and his friend said that a girl named Michelle had just committed her life to God. He also mentioned that she was a cheerleader.
"Well, let's go see her!" Jim Bob said.
They were married 2 1/2 years later.
Jim Bob, who has only one sibling, and Michelle, who is the youngest of seven, didn't know how many children they wanted to have. And they didn't have any for the first four years they were married. They even used birth control until they decided the pills weren't right for them. They decided having children was for God to control--not them.
"I would like to have more," Michelle says.
They don't always agree, but Jim Bob and Michelle try to resolve disputes before the sun goes down each night, which they say the Bible instructs them to do. Michelle also believes she is to be submissive to Jim Bob, which she says does not mean he treats her like a doormat but that he is the head of the household.
"We don't have a perfect marriage," Jim Bob says. "There's not a perfect marriage out there."
Nor are there perfect children. But the Duggar children, at least on the surface, appear to come awfully close.
THE BUDDY SYSTEM
The older Duggar children all take care of the younger ones through a buddy system.
"The little guys just think the big guys hung the moon," Michelle says.
Without being asked, the older children will get the younger ones' meals or change their diapers. Each child has particular chores, like taking out the trash, that he or she automatically does. Josh is the family grill expert and makes dinner so his parents are free to visit.
"You're my buddy," Jim Bob smiles and says to Michelle as he brings her lunch.
Joshua leads an eloquent, heartfelt prayer while everyone joins hands around the table to pray. All the children seem to be more articulate than others their ages.
When 1-year-old Jason falls to the floor and starts throwing a fit, one glance from his mother and quick wag of her finger ends the incident almost even before it begins. His training should be through by age 12, when Jim Bob and Michelle hope all their children are trained well enough to stand alone.
"I don't want them to be just good kids," Michelle says. "I want it to go deeper than that." Michelle says the desire to see her children be successful, "That's what keeps me going."
Joshua was 5 when the Duggars made the decision to home school their children. They clearly are careful about their children's outside influences. Though the family owns a TV, it's rarely on, even when their father makes an appearance.
"There's a lot of attitudes and actions that we just don't want the children to imitate," Jim Bob says. When a proposal he made in the state Legislature wound up on Politically Incorrect, Jim Bob had to call a friend to tape it for him.
Jim Bob and Michelle are willing to share their lives with readers because they want to encourage them, through their story, to turn to God. But even by standards of an average Christian household, the Duggars are extreme.
The girls exclusively wear dresses and skirts. The children wear wet suits instead of bathing suits when they go in the water in order to be modest.
"When they get a little older, they'll have to make the decision on what they want to do," Jim Bob says of wearing swimsuits.
For now, the kids don't appear to mind. Instead of recognizing that they're different, they seem to recognize how lucky they are in some ways.
"You always have someone to play with," Jill says. "And there are lots of birthdays."
When the Duggars went on vacation in 1999 to Washington, D.C., they got attention wherever they went. They walked in a single-file line through the city's sidewalks so they wouldn't take up too much space. Each child wore the same color, and Joshua brought up the rear to make sure everyone stayed together. His parents couldn't understand why he kept stopping to talk to strangers.
"I've had several people ask me when we go out, 'Now, what school is this?' or, 'What organization are you in?' " Joshua says. "Somebody's always asking us something."
The family can all travel together in one vehicle because the family car happens to be a church van, which sports a Bush bumper sticker and another one that says: "Evolution is a Lie: Save America Please."
When the Duggars dine out as a family--and they can tell you exactly which restaurants have children's specials on which nights of the week in the Springdale area--heads turn when they walk in. Waiters literally stop and stare.
"We do make a bit of a commotion when we enter a place," Michelle says. "We're a little hard to forget."
A majority of the children sit at one table, with the rest at the adult table. Jim Bob and Michelle hardly have to even bother turning around during the meal to check on anyone's behavior.
"The buddies will usually inform us if we need to help with somebody," Michelle says.
Since the birth of 8-week-old James, Michelle has had a particularly difficult time breast-feeding. Every two hours she's in considerable pain, but it doesn't seem to affect her countenance.
During a family portrait, Jim Bob gives Michelle a playful kiss, and she looks at him with the love and happiness of a newlywed--rather than a woman who has been married for 17 years, is home schooling 12 children, breast-feeding a 13th and is helping launch a Senate campaign.
A WINNABLE RACE?
She's in a minority, but Michelle confidently declares, "It is a winnable race."
Not that the family is depending on it. "If we win, wonderful," Michelle says. "If we lose, wonderful. We just wanna serve."
Speculation is Jim Bob won't get the chance this time. One poll shows he has only 4-percent name recognition in the state. He points out, though, that fellow Republican and former Gov. Frank White likes to say he only had 3-percent recognition when he went on to beat Clinton.
Marty Ryall, executive director of the Arkansas Republican Party, thinks differently.
"Tim's campaign would have to implode," he says of Jim Bob's chances.
"There's probably a handful of people ... that may still be angry with Tim," Ryall says. "Tim has made amends with most of those. I know he's visited with a lot of them."
Ryall tried to talk Duggar into running for another position--any of five open races across the state.
He "just encouraged him to lower his sites a little," Ryall says. "He told me he was determined to run for the U.S. Senate. ... He's really doing what he feels like he is compelled to do."
Jim Bob accepts campaign contributions, but he doesn't solicit them. Hutchinson has $1.5 million in his coffers. Jim Bob has $250,000--all his own money.
"People with money are going to support the incumbent," Jim Bob says. "They just don't want to burn a bridge with the incumbent."
Some of those same people have assured Jim Bob that he'll get their support should he defeat Hutchinson, he says.
Jim Bob has been told it takes a minimum of $500,000 to win the seat.
"Money isn't everything," his mother says reassuringly.
Jim Bob argues that a third of the primary is in conservative Benton County, where he thinks he'll have a chance of competing strongly. If he beats Hutchinson in the primary, he'll face Attorney General Mark Pryor in the general election. Pryor, of course, starts the race with extra name recognition thanks to his father, former U.S. Sen. David Pryor.
"Jim Bob's at peace about it," Mary Duggar says of whether her son wins or loses.
"I know everybody believes this is totally impossible, a total long shot," Jim Bob says.
But he has 14 extremely strong supporters living in his own house, even if only one of them can vote.

Issues? How 'Bout Singin??

Talk Business & Politics April 29, 2002

Many of the Republican women in Washington County are irritated with Jim Bob Duggar, who is running against incumbent Tim Hutchinson in the May 21 Republican primary for U.S. Senate.
The problem? They can’t ever seem to get Duggar to address any of the issues.
At a Washington County Republican Women luncheon on April 24, each candidate was given only three minutes to talk about issues. Instead, Duggar paraded some of his 13 children up to the front and had them sing a song.
Anne Britton, a candidate for constable and member of the group, tried to stop the Duggar clan from singing and get him to talk instead. But Duggar dismissed her in front of the group by saying, “Well, you’re a Hutchinson supporter.”
The kids sang, and Duggar said he would answer questions after the event.
“He’s clearly exploiting his kids,” Britton said the next day. “I told him it’s bordering on child abuse. I’ve had it.”
“We wanted to hear from the candidates themselves,” said Renee Oelschlaeger, president of the Republican women’s group. “There comes a time where you have to stop hiding behind your family.”
“He has pulled this stunt at other events,” said Robin Lundstrum, a member of the Republican women’s group. “I am just very disappointed with his behavior.”
Duggar, who lives in Springdale, has served in the Arkansas House of Representatives since 1999. His Internet site, www.jimbob.info, addresses his anti-abortion stance, but that’s about it.
We hear Duggar claims to have the same view on the issues that Hutchinson has. If that’s true, then why is he running for Tim’s seat?

###

Perhaps it was due to the lack of sleep thanks to my kid kicking my ribs outside my body, lack of breakfast, extra meds I'm still on to deal with a cold that won't quit, but this came to mind and I instantly became enraged.
While taking a shower this am, after diligently checking for delicious crackers to avoid sweeping on this sub, something, like lightning, came over me (and no, it wasn't a change in water temp).
If this has been discussed before, I will gladly remove it (if it isn't removed by the mods first, ha)!
WHAT KIND OF PATRIARCHAL BULLSHIT IS IT WITH THE NAMES?!?!?
Hang on a sec, I'll go into more detail.
The boys names are: convicted sexual criminal Joshua James Duggar, followed by his MALE siblings: John-David, Joseph, Josiah, Justin (coming from justice/righteousness), Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, Jackson (son of John). All obviously fucking biblical names or with a clear equivalent in Hebrew or Latin.
The unworthy, unclean, subservient FEMALE sibling names: Jana (close enough to the Roman god Janus), Jill (there's a Hebrew equivalent? perhaps meaning youthful?), Jessa (comparable to Yiskah?), Jinger (dafuq, that shit can't even come close to being in the bible), Joy, Johannah (IMNSHO the only that looks obvsiously biblical), Jordyn, Josie, and Jubilee (Shalom). Sure Joy and Jubilee and some of the middle initials are virtues and what not. But come on! Even Pest had a similar thing going on with Michael and Marcus (poor Mason). The girls? Probably left that task to Anna. Which is perhaps why we have a Madyson.
For some reason I can't grasp quite yet, it bothered me that the amabs in the Duggar family sport clear biblical (or even Hebrew) names, while the girls have ... common, not special, meh names?
Please tell me I'm not the only one who has noticed this/is somewhat bothered by it.
OK. Back to work. Snark diligently, y'all!

Pest (4): neutral mentions of "my older brother was already a father" when Jinger was a teenager (2); he was a hypocrite and he needs Jesus; he gives Christianity a bad name
Jana (2): Once in a journal entry about a time they met Gothard; once regarding the book the four older girls wrote
John David (0)
Jill (2): Once in a journal entry about a time they met Gothard; once regarding the book the four older girls wrote
Jessa (38): Liking cities (1); meeting Jeremy (6); writing the book the four of them wrote (1); being best friends (10); getting to know Ben and his beliefs (20)—this is every mention of Jessa's name, so some of this is multiple mentions across a couple of paragraphs
Joe (0)
Josiah (1): In a journal entry about a time they met Gothard
Joy (0)
Jed! (0)
Jeremiah (0)
Jason (0)
James (0)
Justin (1): A mention that she and Justin are the only Duggar siblings to not live in Arkansas
Jackson (0)
Johannah (0)
Jennifer (0)
J'Tyler (0)
Jordyn (0)
Josie (0)

I really wanted to see the disaster that opening would have turned into if they had kept going with it.
Creepy Meech whisper voice…
“This is the story our cult… I mean family. We’re the Duggars. That’s me, hunched over from the toll of nonstop pregnancies. I'm Michelle, and this is Jim Bob my wonderful, glob of a husband, and our children…
Pest is our oldest he married Anna and they had our first grandchildren Mackenzie, Michael, Marcus before things got dicey in Washington DC, and then they had Meradith, Mason, Maryella, and to rub salt into the wound Madyson. Then he was falsely convicted of a felony to be a martyr for Christ! Can you spell felony kids… F-E-L-O-N-Y. Anyway…
Then there is Jana, our resident old maid and housemother.
John-David, he flys planes, and married Abbie. They had Grace and Charlie.
Jill…well um, we don’t see much of her these days. Mainly because she married Derick and became a heathen who expects compensation after lining our pockets for years. They had Israel, Samuel, and Frederick.
But then thank the Lord there is our Jessa-Blessa, she married Ben and they are so dependent on our purse strings that they’ll continue popping out more blessings like Spurgeon, Henry, Ivy, and Fern to stay in our good graces.
Then there is Jinger, she married Books…I mean Jeremy (a mistake on our part) and ran away…um moved…to the sin stricken land of California. They had Felicity and Evangeline.
Joseph, he married our favorite daughter-in-love, Kendra. She has been shooting out blessings practically nonstop. So far they have Garret, Addison, Brooklyn, and… um… well who can keep track given they’re constantly counting.
Josiah, we arranged for him to marry Lauren, and they had Bella, and again who can keep track of all the Lord’s blessings.
Joy Anna, she was married off to Austin. They had Gideon, Evelyn, and an upcoming son.
Jedidiah, he is now bunk-mates with Katey. Despite a stall in his political career, the same cannot be said for Katey’s uterus. In their short time together they have already had Truett and now Nora on the way. Watch out Kendra!
I digress… Former bunk-mate Jeremiah, married Hannah and had Brynley on Jesus’s birthday!
Jason and James. Well, we will acknowledge there existence when they start courting.
Justin, he could not get out of our compound fast enough. He married Claire practically the second it was legal.
Jackson, like his brothers is not courting yet. We pass him in the halls.
Johannah,Jennifer,Jordyn and Josie, will continue caring for the house and grandchildren until we can arrange proper suitors to endow them too.
That’s a grand total of… I can’t even keep track these days.
Of course, with this many kids, we do things a little differently than most families, like sister-moms and blanket training. It isn’t always easy with the hefty legal fees, but somehow we make it all work.”

Will Jeremiah & Hannah's baby be subtlety looked down upon for being born on Christmas? I can just imagine the duggars frowning about the baby taking attention away from Jesus on his birthday.

This is my recap for the year. Stuff I found funny, not necessarily top posts. I started in October and since there's a post limit, July on back is from the various top post settings. Oh well. Onward to 2023. Hopefully I don't fuck this up. October, November, December will be another post because FUCK
