Keeping Up With The Dunkels - A Fundie Legacy - Chapter 2

Howdy everyone! We left off with our (anti?)hero Wilbur Dunkel newly employed in politics, baby Adam having aged into a toddler unbeknownst to his frazzled parents, and Cathy Dunkel having just given birth to her second child, Abigail, and in the midst of a nervous breakdown.

Hmmm... you know what that means! Yes, despite her ongoing existential crisis, Cathy is a proper fundie woman and is always joyfully available to her husband (seen sleeping soundly in the background). That's right - blessed blessing #3 is on the way!

As if things weren't bad enough, they ordered groceries and didn't have enough to pay the delivery man, so he stole their bed!

Wilbur found himself sleeping on an old beat-up couch they found on the side of the road, while Cathy slept standing up underneath the shower, amongst the weeds.

She woke up in time for Abigail to age into a toddler. Two toddlers and a baby on the way? Who cares that the grocer stole our bed and we still don't have a floor? We're just #SoBlessed!

Shhhh.... Mommy's sleeping. Aren't you old enough to start homeschooling yourself, anyway?

The next morning Adam aged up into a kid. A kid with a very questionable haircut, wearing pink pajamas. Cathy, Wilbur? You'd better fix that boy's wardrobe and make him look like a PROPER BOY before you get a visit from your church's Gender Enforcement Committee!

Things were getting really bad in the Dunkel household. The kitchen was littered with garbage. The weeds were spreading in the bathroom. Both Cathy and Wilbur were passed out on the floor/ground, with their children left to fend for themselves. So basically an average day in a fundie household.

Here we go!!! Time to call the midwife. Or a random guy and his dog. Or just give birth standing up in the kitchen while your husband ignores you (at least he's feeding one of the kids). Whichever.

It's a bouncing baby girl! Cathy handed little Anna Grace to Wilbur to admire. Despite her mother's mental state during her pregnancy, Anna Grace was perfectly healthy if a little on the small side. Wait - what's that?

IT'S TWINS! Cathy returns to her labouring position in front of the stove and within minutes gives birth to another baby girl, Aimee Joy. What a blessedly blessed event! DOUBLE BLESSINGS, ya'll! So sweet and so neat!

 

Oh. shit.

 

That's all for now! Tune in next time to see how Wilbur and Cathy function with two small children AND newborn twins! Will Cathy run away to join a hippie commune? Will they all starve to death? Will the grocery man repossess any more of their furniture? Tune in next time for more shenanigans courtesy of the Dunkels! **Cue zany music**

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though. 

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy. 

      Shalom posted an Instragram story: "Microbiom[e] plays a role in healing from cancer"

      @Columbia, thanks for digging up that account! I remember that depressing saga as if it had happened yesterday. IMO, Bradrick! has many, many miles to go before he's able to redeem himself.

      Today she is in cargo type pants that are form fitting with her shirt tucked in. She doesn’t look obviously pregnant.

      Kelly was supposed to be the shining example of how stay-at-home-daughterhood was the perfect prescription for a young woman to seamlessly move into courtship, marriage and motherhood. She spoke at one of the VF Father-Daughter Retreats, she wrote articles for Vision Forum, the magazine carried a book she wrote about her grandfather in WW2, she had a big section in Return of the Daughters (starts around 26:60.) Their wedding was a huge event, and Doug Phillips made a big deal out of seeing their first kiss at the altar (I believe this indescribably weird photo came from that wedding.) I've always thought this was a good overview of her life within Vision Forum.

      I don't think so. They ran their own little "family ministry" on the side and frequented the conference circuit. One of the daughters also wrote occasionally for Vision Forum.

      Isn’t the infamous Wide Stance photo from this wedding, too? That one still makes me laugh til I can’t breathe!
