She said she uses to feel like she needed to get out of the house once a day. But she doesn’t feel like that anymore. And I bet it’s because she has 5 young kids. 

I don’t see a problem with not wanting to leave the house every single day. When I was a young mother of one, Mr. Cam once said, “Did you want to go somewhere? You haven’t left the house in five days.” I had absolutely no idea I’d been home that long. Never gave it a thought. I was content. I had previously been out and about every day. Yet, in another instance, Mr. Cam’s car was in the shop for three days so he took my car to work. I could not believe how depressed I was during that time that I was stuck at home, unable to jump in my car and go anywhere.

So not sure Jessa’s mind frame with her comment. I see where Joy’s expressed some frustrations in her life these days, and it’s making me wonder if she and Jessa are starting to feel the effects of the fundie-wife box they’ve been placed in. They had the excitement of a reality show, the attention of courtship, marriage, childbirth and having their first baby, and they moved through all that at such a young age. Now they’re in the “blush is off the rose” phase where it isn’t all as exciting as it was at the beginning, and they’re met with the daily grind and nitty gritty of it all.

Plus how do you get them all out of the car without somebody running into the street/parking lot?

Parentalize the older ones to look after the younger ones? It’s the Duggar way! 

Exactly! It’s the fundie blueprint!

They go from living with their parents to moving in and having sex with basically a stranger within a day. No wonder it’s scary and awkward.

This is the saddest part. They make it sound as though there's a switch that will turn on at their wedding. How devastating, scary, and utterly bewildering it must be when their* honeymoon ends up being a scary "vacation" with a stranger, instead!

*General their, not specifically to this particular couple.

Another Abbie, Abbie Jean Camuso used to promote Monat big time on her instagram account. The scales have fallen from her eyes as she's just posted this 

So basically I still want to make money off you, but don’t blame me if your hair falls out because I told you that could happen. But if my hair falls out, I might leave.

I will still never understand how they were allowed to do dental work in the Philippine's. 

They most probably aren’t but who is gunna stop them? 

If they can make graphics for social media, assemble fundraisers, and bake pies they can get some kind of employment. The stress of all of this scrambling for cash has got to be more stressful than many jobs!
