So Anna did decide that the money she'd get from staying on TV wasn't worth it. So it's not like "all the Duggars care about is fame and money and they'll NEVER give it up even if it's harming their families". <br /><br />And if you take Derick at his word he did indeed choose to drop the show on his own, he was not fired. Though in his case he's claiming he never was paid anyway. And Jill certainly wasn't fired, she actually was still shown last season and in the Gideon birth special episode.<br /><br />I think every adult Duggar has to eventually make a decision as to whether the fame and money is worth exposing yourself to not just the adoration of the fans but the hatred of, well, the haters.<br /><br />And it's obvious some are still trying to get as much attention as possible and others are pulling back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-88762479270709571882018-06-03T10:59:27.021-05:002018-06-03T10:59:27.021-05:00That's your onion as your allowed to have one....That's your onion as your allowed to have one.

I think they have the same attitude toward pregnant bellies that BFing crusaders have toward nursing; anyone who actually gets impure thoughts from seeing a pregnant belly or a mother nursing, is a deviant whose weaknesses don't deserve to be catered to.<br /><br />I think the underlying issue is the limited idea of modesty as just a measure to avoid stirring up desire, as opposed to the overall idea of modesty as attiring oneself in a way to honor the Temple of the Lord.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-56639428774466064562018-06-02T20:36:07.989-05:002018-06-02T20:36:07.989-05:00Actually the Duggars have really NOT been traditio...Actually the Duggars have really NOT been traditional in this area. All the husbands have been actively involved in supporting their wives through labor, not pacing in the hallway while letting the womenfolk handle everything. Even the more stoic types like Austin, who I admit came off as a little cold to me when I first "met" him; his attention to Joy Anna during labor improved my impression of him a lot.

Even on this blog it seems about half the comments are negative and judgmental; I realize the bloggers DO screen the worst of it out here and I appreciate that.<br /><br />But I'm sure processing all that negativity has to get to you at some point, even if you know the haters are also helping to keep you relevant and indirectly contributing to your income.

They seem down-to-earth and a good match.<br />I'm wondering rather than being burned out, the other family members are wary of sharing too much for fear of backlash or mockery. Joseph wasn't featured as much as his other siblings and hasn't faced the same criticisms (in part because he stays off social media).<br />Jeremy and Jinger are my favorite couple to watch.

Now that I'm way past 19, I can say for sure that it's a terribly young age to have children. It can be done, but it sure is different (better) when you're older. Youth is for finding out about yourself, trying new things, and making mistakes and adjustments if needed. It's not the time to tie yourself down immediately with children and marriage.

We've taught our daughter that she is far more than a body for guys to ogle. I agree that young ladies often make bad wardrobe choices (I did at that age and stage). So what we've taught our daughter: A lot of girls use their body, looks, and clothing choices as bait, then are miserably unhappy when they catch a bottom-feeder. Instead of judging them though, we need to educate them. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-34888506848231344862018-06-01T21:24:35.196-05:002018-06-01T21:24:35.196-05:00The fame harmed Anna and her children as well, by ...The fame harmed Anna and her children as well, by extension.
