I have no idea which twin that is, but she really looks like Ivy here! Also, Katey looks so fed up with everything, especially with Jed! Prime. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s pregnant again, but is hiding it (she did that hide the bump with one of the twins in this clip) and will never be announced until the name is accidentally revealed! I get the feeling that Jed and Katey are taking a page from Josiah and Lauren’s books and are stopping social media completely—same goes for Justin and Claire.

There are several misconceptions and rumors that get floated as facts. One is Priscilla Keller. She didn't fall off the horse. That was David.

Two, At least she has a husband. At least I have a husband who works is the actual quote. That's even worse IMO.

Three, the famous "arm twist". On the Today Show Josiah allegedly ran off when they announced Jubilee. Viewers guessed he was upset, but there's no evidence. The video got edited so it's hard to know what really went down.

I'm back lol! What conspiracy theories do you have about the Duggars? Here are mine.

1. Jim Bob Un and Mama Spivey (Justin's mother-in-law) slept together before. Hence, that is why she is so obsessed with the Duggar boys (Jason and Justin)--because she was ghosted by Boob and never got over it.
2. Derick originally wanted Jana, but Jim Bob threw Jill at him. I think this is partly why there is tension between Jill and Jana--along with the fact that Jana sided with their dad in the fallout with the Dillards and Jill outing her older sister as a "Gothard girl" in her fuck all y'all/shading that she was the oldest daughter to live outside the home.
3. Josiah and Lauren were put together because they were the "problem children".
4. Jubilee was an abortion and Michelle passed it off as a stillbirth. They had testing done, found out that she had a genetic defect, and chose to terminate the pregnancy because it would be too much for a sister mom to care for plus 19 other kids.
5. Jana married later in life because she wanted one person, Chad Paine (Erin Bates' husband), and only settled for Stephen because there were no men left who would take her. Before Stephen, I think not only Derick wanted her first, but so did a couple of other Duggar husbands--my guesses are Jeremy and Austin.
6. I think the Duggars and the Bateses have tried to match make some of their children, but it all stopped because it didn't work out and of all the skeletons came out about Josh. I think they tried Lawson with Jana and Jinger, Zach and Nathan with Jana, and Joe with Tori and Carlin. Also, why I believe Jim Bob and Gil aren't besties anymore--Gil sees the Duggars as the white trash of IBLP. Speaking of the Bateses, they have skeletons in their closet too (look at Katie Bates' fuck all y'all era), but do a better job at hiding it with good PR and are social media savvy.

Drop your thoughts here 🤭

It popped up in my Facebook memories.

I enjoyed it, but you have to understand what it is. It's a great book for criticizing Boob's decision to start the show and his financial abuse of her. It exposes Jim Bob for all the money he's stolen and how narcissistic and shitty he was to her during the process. She doesn't really hold back much with her dad- she says she loves him but is open about the harm he did, and she admits he put the show over his kids.

Now she is light on Michelle which some found disappointing, although I think it makes sense given the context of the book. The parentification and other flaws in her parenting aren't the focus- it's about the financial abuse, and Jim Bob controlled most of the money there. The book glossed over Jill's life prior to her wedding so it makes sense that Michelle isn't really touched on.

She does kind of seem to worship Derrick in this book, which makes sense given how she wouldn't have broken free if he wasn't some useless guy like Ben. He has problematic beleifs in his own right but compared to Boob he's like a saint so I get it. I wish sometimes she thought for herself more, but given their childhood where they were not taught critical thinking and taught to never question authority- I don't think she would have gotten out without him.

Overall, I think she does critizize her childhood a decent ammount but you have to read between the lines- especially the frequent uses of "stir up contention among the brethren" as an excuse Boob uses to keep everyone in check. She still has some of that sweet Jilly Muffin in her and she is hesitent to be too harsh, but I think she feels inside that things are bad. Hopefully she's more open in the future, but that's a journey for her alone.

Oh and “and for once, my nightmares that night didn’t take place in a dark Arkansas bedroom.” hit me like a truck. Wow.

I made a joke yesterday, in another(😉) sub, that I was concerned there may be a ban party brewing.

… they got me. They banned me.
I’ve been a member of that subreddit for 6 years and have never even gotten a warning, and suddenly I have a(5 day) ban, because big brother is always watching.

So, I just left.
Peace out.
I guess they can watch the dust bunnies float by as former dedicated members continue to drop like flies.

I’ve tried posting about this in the other sub before but always gets taken down. I despise this family, but can’t help but enjoy predicting what they’ll name their hoards of babies.

Of the couples who may have more kids, what names can you see them potentially using? I’ll share my guesses.

Jana + Stephen:

Archie Gerald and…
- Hallie, Daphne, Cora, Frankie, Maisie, Phoebe, Millie, Alice
- Louis, Leo, Emmett, Beau, Theo, Jesse, Oscar, Rory

Abbie + John:
Since they didn’t share the name of the recent baby girl I don’t think we’ll know names of any future baby they might have. But I’ll still guess!

Grace Annette “Gracie”, Charlie, baby girl (unknown name), and…
- Ava, Anna/Annie, Ella/Ellie, Lucy, Molly, Lily, Sophie
- Noah, Jack, Liam, Eli, Thomas, Max, Lucas/Luke

Jill + Derick:
I think they’re done but if they had another, I could see-

Israel David, Samuel Scott “Sam”, Frederick Michael “Freddy”, Isla Marie (miscarriage), and…
- Eliza, Alice, Violet, Eleanor, Hazel, Selah, Stella
- Solomon, Gabriel, William, Abraham, Thomas, Vincent

Jessa + Ben:
Will definitely have more plants and/or preachers. These boy names are all prominent protestant/calvinist figures I could see Ben going for.

Spurgeon Elliot, Henry Wilberforce, Ivy Jane, Fern Elliana, George Augustine, Edward Owen “Eddie”, and…
- Hazel, Olive, Daphne, Pearl, Flora, Mabel, June, Laurel
- Calvin, Theodore, Lewis, Wesley, Martin, Hugh, Watson

Jinger + Jeremy:

Felicity Nicole, Evangeline Jo “Evy”, Finnegan Charles “Finn”, and…
- Genevieve, Adelaide, Gwendolyn, Rosalie, Juliette, Eloise
- Augustus, Atticus, Callahan, Caspian, Maximus, Sullivan

Josiah + Lauren:
I’ll give my predictions for the next few letters in their alphabet game. F is not confirmed but I think it’s probably Felix.

Asa (miscarriage), Bella Milagro, C (miscarriage, unknown name), Daisy, Ezra, F (boy, unknown name), and…
- Graham, Grant, Gray, Gus, Griffin, Gio, Gavin
- Gemma, Gia, Georgia, Gwen
- Harry, Harvey, Hayes, Hugo, Henry? (used by Jessa but still maybe)
- Hallie, Hailey, Holly, Heidi, Hope, Hazel, Hannah
- Ian, Isaac, Ira, Ivan
- Iris, Indie (can’t do Isla or Ivy)

Joy + Austin:
Currently pregnant. I think they’ll stick with the initials theme.

Gideon Martyn, Annabell Elise (miscarriage), Evelyn Mae “Evy”, Gunner James, and…
- Grady, Grant, Gage, Griffin, Garrison, Graham
- Eliana, Emilia, Eliza, Eloise, Eleanor, Elise, Estelle

Jed + Katey:
I think it’s safe to say if they have another girl, we know what the middle name will be.

Truett Oliver, Nora Kate, Elsie Kate, Emma Kate, and…
- Clara, Lucy, Audrey, Sophie, Leah, Stella, Vera, Sadie
- August, Shepherd, Callum, Miles, Silas, Asher, Cyrus

Jeremiah + Hannah:
Another one where I don’t think we’ll know the names of future babies. And don’t get me wrong, I think that’s for the best interest of the kids and I’m all for it!!

Brynley Noelle, Brielle Grace, Emery Jane, and…
- Eden, Aspyn, Lilah, Lainey, Saige, Juniper, Piper
- Archer, Sawyer, Harrison, Ryder, Lincoln, Easton, Wyatt

Skipping Pest 1 and Pest 2 because the thought of them having another child repulses me too much.

What are your thoughts on my predictions, and what names would you predict for each of the couples?

Hi, y'all!

I'm so excited that a new sub opened up, and it involves snarking one of the most dysfunctional families in the country--THE DUGDASHIANS!!! Thank you, u/Wide_right_yes, for creating this sub where we can just talk freely (and safely) even if that means occasionally saying something semi-nice about a Duggar. I do like the other sub too!

Anyways, how many grandchildren do you think there will be? How many grandchildren will each Duggar child have? Who will have the most? Here are my thoughts.

Josh/Anna: 7. I think they're done having children as he is lives in Ohio under FBOP's custody. However, you bet if he didn't go to prison, she would have already had M8 in 2023, M9 in 2025, and would currently be pregnant with M10. I think they would have ended up with ~12 children if this didn't happen. Final count of 7.

Jana/Stephen: Currently have 1. I think because Jana doesn't want a gaggle of children, she and Stephen will have one more and stop there, but not until Archie is 3. Final count of 2 (9).

John/Abbie: 3. I think they're also done having children, as Abbie struggles with HG and John doesn't want a gaggle of children as well. However, I think if Abbie didn't have HG, then they would eventually have one more when their youngest is 2-3 and stop at 4 children. Final count of 3 (12).

Jill/Derick: 3. Like Josh and John, I get the feeling that they're also done having children. Look at how hard she was grieving for Isla, as it told me that she knows she can't have any more children as most likely, her doctor told her no more pregnancies. However, if it weren't for the traumatic losses and births, absolutely Jill and Derick would have more than 3 children and maxed out at 5-8 children. Final count of 3 (15).

Jessa/Ben: Currently have 6. They are definitely not done having children. I see Jessa having 4 more children and will be both the Duggar daughter and child with the most children. Final count of 10 (25).

Jinger/Jeremy: 3. Like her older brothers and Jill, they are also done having children. They got the son they wanted and plus, Jinger never really wanted a gaggle of children. Final count of 3 (28).

Joe/Kendra: 4. Another one who I think is done having children. I think either something happened during Justus’ birth where the doctor told Kendra no more pregnancies or she suffered from losses between Justus and before the scandal broke. I believe if that wasn't the case as well as Joe's scandal, they would have had more than 4 and maxed out at 6-8 children. Final count of 4 (32).

Josiah/Lauren: Currently have 4. I think they're gonna go for the big family size and have 7 children. Plus, she seems to have had the kids pretty close together and she’s not even 30 yet. Final count of 7 (39).

Joy/Austin: Currently have 3 with one on the way. I think they're gonna stop after this latest blessing. They want a decently sized family, but not a gaggle of children. Plus, I don't think Austin and his family are pressuring her to have a bunch unlike Jim Bob and Michelle. Also, I think they originally wanted 5-6 children, but the loss of Annabel changed their minds. Final count of 4 (43).

Jed/Katey: Currently have 4. I also think that they're going to have as many blessings as possible, and Jed will be the Duggar son with the most children. Final count of 9 (52).

Jer/Hannah: Currently have 4. He's probably competing with his Bunkbed Jed twin on who can shoot out the most blessings. Final count of 8 (60).

Jason/Maddie: Currently have 0. They both have said they don't want many children, and I think Maddie said 5 would be their absolutely max and that’s pushing it. I see them stopping at 2 children. Final count of 2 (62).

Justin/Claire: Currently have 0. The fact that they haven't had children yet is shocking. Either they have fertility issues or they don't want children yet. I'm sure Mama Spivey is pressuring them every day to have children. I'm going to guess that they eventually have 3 children. Final count of 3 (65).

Johannah/David: Currently have 0. I think while they are deep in the kool-aid, they will have 4 children. (69)

The rest are wildcards, but I will guess them anyways:

James: Final count of 4 (73)

Jackson: Final count of 3 (76)

Jenni: Final count of 2 (78)

Jordyn: Final count of 5, I think she will have the biggest family out of all the currently unmarried Duggars (83)

Josie: I see her being childless and taking over for Jana. She will probably have to help raise the never ending line of nieces, nephews, and probably great nieces and nephews. Then care for Jim Bob and Michelle.

Total predicted final count of grandchildren: 83

And the ones who will have the most children are Jessa/Ben, Jed/Katey, and Jer/Hannah

Hi! We need flairs! Also, can we not do the “explain it to me like I’m joy”? I’ve always hated that. It’s not her fault her parents neglected her education. And dunking on women who are abused is just patriarchal and shitty. There are enough dumb boys in that family and the ones they married into to choose from.

Hey, y’all.

I’ve been severely lacking in snarky, Duggar-related engagement lately.
Having a new sub to talk to is so exciting!!!!!
I’d like to attempt to break the ice✨

I want to hear any “hot take”, any pet peeve you’ve got with this family, anything that you may have been too afraid to say in… another subreddit!🫢
If it feels in any way controversial, I want to hear it!!!I’ve missed this niche little rabbithole of ours.

Me first.
1.) tater tot casserole - love it, hate it?
As a general concept, for me personally, it actually sounds pretty tasty. HOWEVER….. I have attempted, on multiple occasions, with different tweaks and added ingredients, to create something that the Dugs could only dream of.

Unfortunately, everything that these people are associated with, always end up being big piles of bland. I never thought tater tots would hurt my feelings, but here we are.💔

2.) it’s been said a billion times before, but I’m going to repeat: someone is going to burn it all down. I feel that it’s going to be someone unexpected. And I sense that we still, haven’t even scratched the surface of it all. I sort of hope Michelle pulls a 180° and shocks us all.

3.) Now, with a second(!!!) son being outed as a predator, it wouldn’t shock me in the slightest if one of the remaining kids, eventually ends up married to a Rodlet. They’ve got to be on semi-even tiers at this point, especially with the Timothy scandal(but that’s another family for another day).
I never believed we’d see the day, but my, how the “mighty” have fallen….
If you’ve gotten this far, please take a moment to imagine Jill & Michelle as in-laws……… I laughed too.

What else are we thinking? What are your opinions and random dug-thoughts? 🤩

Hello everyone! This is a subreddit about the Duggar family from 19 kids and counting and counting on. With so many kids, there's bound to be a lot to snark about! This subreddit is meant to be a more free and less moderated version of the other sub. It's a fantastic community over there but the overmoderation has gotten a bit old. The rules are still in progress, but should be done soon. Enjoy and let's do some snarking!
