What it's like to be on 19 kids & counting

[Hisey]

I hope ths is the right place to post this. I was reading the Samuel Pope's mom's blog. He was the little boy who was in the NICU with Josie. Late last year, the TLC producers asked them to come on the show again. She describes a bit about what it was like, whether it was staged, etc.

Its better to be a guest than a member of the family. Undignified would be the word I would use for how it feels to be any Duggar other than Jimbob and Michelle. You are not allowed privacy. Modesty exists only for Michelle and Jimbob as they only consider themselves worthy of it-if you aren't them, cameras can watch you shit your pants as a child and your parents will let that footage go on TV. Be filmed sitting on the toilet while giving birth. Sick, throwing up and feeling like crap? At the dentist, especially if having a tooth out? Being taken into hospital? Awkward first relationships? Head stuck and your family finds it hilarious? Nobody is allowed any dignity or privacy. That's not even counting, from being a tiny child, even if you are shy, even if you aren't feeling very social, or aren't feeling well, you still have to smile and let a whole mob of creepy strangers who have watched your every move talk to you, ask you questions and take selfies with you.

Run, Pope family, run. You don't want anything to do with this show.

I'd love to know what those inappropriate questions and cringe-inducing stories were... :popcorn2:

I'd love to know what those inappropriate questions and cringe-inducing stories were... :popcorn2:

Lol I can imagine some of them:

"How often do you and JB have sex?"

"What positions do you use to ensure conception?"

"You look pregnant. Are you pregnant?"

"Is Anna pregnant? She looks pregnant."

"Josh looks pregnant, is he?"

"One time, my husband and I were thinking of having an abortion, but then we thought about you. So, we decided to have as many as god will give us. We actually just tried in the car before walking up. My husband didn't wash his hand before you shook it."

"My husband and I like to make love while watching your show. It's an inspiration for us."

"I imagine your face on my wife's body when I have sex with her."

"Are your children virgins? How do you know? Do you perform checks?"

"How long after the miscarriage did you wait before having sex again?"

"Why aren't you pregnant again? Don't you know that you haven't reached number 20 yet?"

"Is Jana courting yet?"

"Is JD courting?"

'What's wrong with the twins, why aren't they courting yet?"

"Can I court [insert child's name here]?"

"Can I more than side-hug you?"

"Will you mow my lawn in a bikini?"
