What's her son's name again?

Jinger is oblique, but I she called out treating women as "birthing machines." I think we have an answer on her preferring a small family.

She doesn't have any creative or physical outlets. Plus I think she is especially adapt at wanting to "put her best face forward for the cameras." Over time, that effort takes a terrible toll.
Plus I get the impression her marriage isn’t the healthiest. It’s hard to say why, and I may be completely off base. But Ben doesn’t seem very present in her recent posts. He could just not want to be on social media, or it could be a sign he’s checking out of the marriage. This is one fundy couple who I could actually see needing couples counseling and occasional date nights,

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.

Exactly! It’s the fundie blueprint!

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.
