It is more about what is going on inside your body than your physical appearance. Jim Bob has known for years that his eating habits can lead to a premature death or a chronic disease like diabetes. He still has 7 children under the age of 18 and it would be terrible if he wasn't able to see them grow up and start families of their own. He has the money and resources to live a healthy lifestyle and reduce his waist size.

We all have different ideas as to how to raise our family. They are a good family and not asking anyone to help support their children or raise them. Why can't you make good comments instead of disagreeing with how they choose to help their children after they marry and move out. If the children want to live on the parents property, so be it. I think that they are very lucky to have a family that works together.

Nothing after that but more babies.<br /><br />Thank goodness most girls don't do that. If they did, I'd be missing my doctors & their nurses, my lawyer, my hair dresser, my pharmacist, my tax preparer, my banker, my teachers, most of the people at the stores where I shop, etc. etc.<br /><br />The Duggars may value early marriage and motherhood for women, but what does that contribute to others in this world?

Not that those are horrible things, but you have to wonder how she feels when she sees all those houses and all those furnishings handed to her brothers and sisters. I have a feeling it was Austin who said no thanks to any parental offers, and Joy had to go along with that decision. If the rest of the kids had that same quality of character, they'd also be sleeping on the floor and showering back at the main house.

There was a post in this blog just a few weeks ago about Joy and Gideon visiting him at a work site. But maybe to you that doesn't count because he doesn't have a 9 to 5 job that he goes to every weekday? IMHO the last recession showed that working for someone else is often far from being "stable financially". <br /><br />And while the grown boys may technically work for Jim Bob in the family business, much of the work they do with selling used cars and real estate is commission-based, it's not like they're just hanging out with Jim Bob doling out an allowance.

But I also think it’s great that some people are already married and settling into parenthood at 19. We don’t all subscribe to the same way of life. I personally was married at 18, but my husband and I decided to persue work and university educations before starting a family. 10 years later were happily married and expecting our first child. I wouldn’t change anything about how my life has progressed so far. I’m sure OP’s 19 year old is having a blast in school- and Kendra seems content with her life as a wife and mother! Let’s lift each other with positive vibes instead of responding with eye rolls. Happy Monday to all!

They show where the nursery rooms are etc. There are a lot of crazy people who are in the public who now know exactly where everything in your home's are and where everyone sleeps. I don't care what kind of security people have you still need to be super careful about your private homes. Think of your children. It's not anyone's business what your home looks like and if you have to go this far by selling your privacy and the security of your children for money then you need to rethink your life and priorities. If you think I am over blowing this then just ask anyone in law enforcement or security businesses and ask them if what you are doing is safe and good sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-50379374495264354142018-08-13T09:09:30.833-05:002018-08-13T09:09:30.833-05:00Congratulations to a really sweet coupleCongratulations to a really sweet coupleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-88919036893952092162018-08-13T09:08:57.368-05:002018-08-13T09:08:57.368-05:00Ignore the criticisms.
