And considering the age of the youngest sister at the time? Yeah, that's not a crime of opportunity.

Now for the countdown to see who rolls first.

That could be concerning. Look I know kids do weird things as part of games, and maybe I've been reading JRod too much but my first thought was that they are hungry and hiding food for later.

She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there. So maybe it was clean when it came home but then the food got in it? Unclear. I guess I don't get why if you recorded that you wouldn't pause, wipe it out, and rerecord? I would be embarrassed by that.

Anna may be the one distancing from certain Duggars. With how public Jill has been about going to therapy and other things it wouldn't surprise me if Anna noped out of this.

Dude sure made a lot of enemies.

I think with all of Josh’s issues, the families still in AR, for the most part, have hunkered down and are protecting their own family’s privacy. The less they expose themselves, the less pushback and snark they receive.

If Anna and the kids still live in Arkansas I hope they weren’t purposely excluded.

It’s 100% none of my business but I’m curious if Anna is distancing herself from the Duggars. Ultimately, moving closer to her family and changing the kids’ last name to Keller would allow for a greater level of privacy and normalcy for herself and the kids. I realize that it is highly unlikely that she would move or change the name.

The social media of the Bateses and Duggars are so different. The Bateses are much More put together while the Duggars seem kind of haphazard when it comes to social media.

There's a club for that:

I know this is super OT, but I'm always looking for good sports bra recommendations for exercise. And I totally agree with light/minimal clothing for exercise.

Probably. She showed a big picture of the balloon release but I didn't look closely. I was just glad that the family gathered around her when she needed it. The lady's name was something like Tuff Decisions.

One sister could be a crime of opportunity, but 4 sisters and a babysitter presumably multiple times each is a preference.

I'm surprised there weren't some four letter words being shouted.

Probably not Jinger either, so the local family.

I wonder if Josh killed that too.

There is a blogger on youtube who talked about it; she said everybody was there except Anna and her kids.

I think most of the TTH residents were there.

Exactly. She's a textbook example of why people who don't want children should, in fact, not have children.

Johns family was there. Jessas. Bunch of Littles. Jackson was in a suit amd tie. Josiah's family was there. Emily Peters. Caldwell family was there.

This made my day. 🤸‍♀️😁

I can't stop laughing:

I think they'll go to college. What I want to know (and also kind of don't, because the kids deserve privacy and didn't choose to be living Instagram dolls their whole lives) is whether they've had boyfriends yet. I'm curious how dating goes in their church. If a girl gets a crush on a boy can she ask him out or does she have to wait for him to notice her? Do they have chaperones? Is every relationship supposed to be a precursor to marriage or can they date like normal to see where it goes, as long as they don't have sex? IME evangelical dating runs the gamut from "PIV sex is a sin until marriage but can I finger you in the park on the way home and we won't tell anyone" to "we mustn't ever ever ever be alone together until we are married at 19, lest we give in to temptation (which of course is only an issue for boys)". I feel like the Pomeroys, unlike the Duggars, would rely on the belief that they've imparted their own faith and values into their children. I think they'd trust them to make their own decisions about dating and wouldn't do chaperones, but who knows.

Not that Ken is a prince or anything, but I think he picked "iron his shirts", because he needed ironed shirts for work, Lori had always refused to iron them, and he didn't want to do them himself anymore. He knew she wasn't and never could be a nice person or stop complaining or stop arguing, so he asked for a concrete act for her to do. Doing the specific thing he asked is Lori's idea of being "submissive". This is why she made such a big fricking deal about making pot roast for the first time in 42 years of marriage -- because Ken asked. He asked; she made it, so that means she's submissive. The rest of us see it merely as Ken asked for something specific for dinner -- a commonplace occurrence in most marriages. Making requested pot roast doesn't make you a submissive godly wife. Ken talks about the things he was working on about himself in the "Ken Speaks' video. He's still a douchecanoe, and so so wrong about gender roles, but he's not the shrieking harridan Lori was. She's not nice to him because she doesn't know how to be. She has no concept - zip zero nada - of what nice is, how it looks, how it treats others, how it thinks of others and not yourself. She is not a nice person. Never was, never will be, never can be. She's "submissive" because she stopped shrieking at him -- she just does it to women on the interwebz instead.
