Jim Bob wants his daughters to get hitched so another person can be responsible for them financially, but I think his frail ego still wants to lord over the married kids.

He thinks his kids are property.

I disagree...J'boobhpvah wants to maintain ALL control. He controls their cash, their homes (3 of 4 live in J'boobhovah-owned properties). He was not exactly pleased w/Jeremy b/c he made it pretty plain that J'boobhovah wasn't going to be calling the shots.

How far is JD's house from the main compound? Is it on the same land (the 20acres)?

I doubt JB and Michelle want any of their kids to leave now. I mean, look what happened when they let Josh go off on his own? The horrible, evil world turned him into an adulterer and porn addict!

Ah, nothing like those who preach personal accountability, never taking any for their own actions or those of their immediate family.

[HarleyQuinn]

JD rents out that house, doesn't he? Does he plan on evicting his tenants when he finally makes sweet fellowship?

I think he did it on purpose. He's keeping them tied to him, they'll never leave the cult of JB. 

I have to say that Fundies /JB are not the only nut jobs that do this.    Many 'regular' (I refuse to use the term NORMAL) do this as well.   Some people live through their kids.   Some are just crazy control freaks.

It's fairly typical in some of the older, more ethnic neighborhoods where I live (Mid Atlantic large city) for kids to live near parents, sometimes on the same block, sometimes a few blocks away.

FTR, I moved 90 miles from my parents and have maintained the distance for over 40 years. I can get there when I have to, but I'm a firm believer in "leave and cleave">..

I moved two states away from my mom after college (closer to my dad though....about an hours drive). But my mom recently moved out here, and is 10 minutes away, it's great!!! But, I have had plenty of time to have an independent life, so, I think that helps.

I cannot believe the Duggars' are releasing pictures of Tyler. He is not their child.

My family lived in three of four neighboring houses, with another two siblings sharing a two-family building less than a mile away. Never seemed weird to me, except that the one family who moved 300 miles away and then moved back in - but still 10 mikes from the epicenter - were always considered the outsiders. 

When the 'hood started changing, everybody got far-flung, physically and socially. Maybe it was meant to be, if a few neighborhoods'  separation did that to us. Huh. Never thought of it like that before. 

Maybe that's  what The So-called Parents are afraid of.

Not just the leaving. I think people can live near their family successfully after leaving the nest. I think it is really nice that some family's can be close. The Duggars though have made these kids not able to function as individuals on their own terms. The adult kids seem to still be in kiddyland and need them for basic survival.  It will be interesting to watch Jinger in the coming months.

I fervently hope that she gets her time in Laredo, that they do not return to Arkansas. I think this would be her best opportunity to develop her skills and her personality and to really become the helpmeet that's right for Jeremy.

[ksgranola1]

It might even occur to jeremy to ask Jinger to get a job to 'help out.' I thought it was incredibly nervy of JB to tell Jeremy he should get another job to  support her. I'm sure jeremy, coming from a normal family where the women work, was thinking, "Surely, Jinger will want to work." he's still kindof clueless about what Duggarworld is like.

[Gillyweed]

Jeremy's been living on his own, by his own rules, for years. Unlike Ben, who was still a teenager, and Derick, who, although he was in Nepal he doesn't have the same experience and exposure, Jeremy did leave and cleave-- and was able to support himself. Moving to Arkansas would be like a crawling baby who instead of learning to walk becomes stationary again. Not to mention, I could invision it feeling like a college student returning home for winter break-- his freedom is taken away by the restrictive parents. 

I just really really hope he's not stupid enough to through away his Pastor job for Arkansas. Although his church is small, it could possibly be a gateway for a bigger job. Maybe he'll fill in for his dad once he retires.

Off topic: Do the inquistitor writers read here? Everything I read here ends up as a story on there.  It's so weird.

I have a feeling lots of online sites who write about the Duggars do and use some of our posts. When I Google Duggar, I automatically find results from here. No way other sites or gossip blogs don't know about us.

[Thorns]

Since the thread title says Duvets I will drift back for a tiny bit... Just got back home after a month away, first in moist sheets everywhere - land and then at my mothers were all duvets are thin and small....and now I can FINALLY sleep in my huge fluffy warm and snuggly who I can properly burrito in duvet, with one sheet on top of the matress where it belongs, and the window open to the -5 degrees Celcius outside...! It feels like sleeping in a waaarm cloud. 

Carry on

Maybe the gossip rags can do a post on sleeping arrangements after this?

I pretty much only live an hour away from my parents because they happen to live an hour away from the city I wanted to live and work in. Doesn't mean I don't love them, it just means that I'd be perfectly willing (and I have in the past) to move further afield if the opportunity presented itself. Though it is nice being just an hour away from home; holiday travel is a lot less stressful, I can store a lot of stuff at my parents' house, and hey, it's pretty nice to see my parents in person more often than when I lived abroad.

Of course they do, they were responsible for the Tebow/Jana rumors after reading the joke thread here.

Holy hell. That one will go down in the history books. It was first mentioned many years ago not only with jana but with a Jessa and Jinger. It wasn't until 2014 that this little joke solidified and was picked up by Inquisr that it spread EVERYWHERE. The whole internet went psycho with this rumor because of what that trash site copied from here. They do the same with all courtship speculations (prob like zach bates) and the like it's pathetic. Now looking back, I remember seeing magazines with this rumor at grocery lines and trending on Yahoo!'s #1. It even caused T-bone's manager to respond, it was that big. I felt really bad for her.

Did the Duggars do/say anything for Jed & Jer's birthday? 18 is a pretty big one. 

Now they have more "legal" kids than not 

Yup - no more "19 kids and counting."  Its more like "11 unemployed, uneducated adults and counting"

Looks like they are freely talking about J'Tyler on Facebook now.

 

So glad to see Tyler getting into the Duggar staged pic business /sarcasm.

The milk is in the corner of the jug, not near his mouth... 

[Pandora Spocks]

Waay off topic, but I felt I must add my cautionary tale to those shared by others previously. Last night, having a block of cheese food glop that wasn't used for making fudge at Christmas, I decided to have a little fun. Or so I thought. Yes, I tried Anna's chicken etti recipe. In true law vs gospel fashion, I followed the recipe exactly as printed on the blog. I figured, well, at least young Spocks  will like it because there's noodles and highly processed food in it.  The assembly process alone caused me to apologize to dh's and my own soon to be clogged arteries. When said dish came out of the oven and needed to be cut into squares with a knife for serving due to consistency, I should have stopped right there. But no, I was all in at that point. I ate it, and it actually was rather tasty. I was thinking that maybe countless FJers before me were wrong in their reviews. Within 15 minutes, I was feeling sick to my stomach and had to lie down. Not gonna lie, I was praying that I wasn't about to die of a heart attack from eating some stoopid Duggar "food". 

For those of you who are still with me, here is the kicker --when I fell asleep, I began to dream. I dreamed that I had to adopt Josie. Even in my dream, that thought was repugnant to me and I was scrambling to try to put the best construction on the situation by thinking that maybe I could give her a normal two parent upbringing (vs a sister mom upbringing, I guess). Right. If that wasn't bizarre enough, my co-parent was Ross Poldark - the Aidan Turner version. smh. At least that was a plus.

Now I am left feeling as if I should be nibbling only green leafy vegetables for the next week and pondering whether eating fundie foods has a psychedelic effect. Wonder what would happen if I could find a canned chicken?

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

[ClaraOswin]

I actually do use recipes that require canned soup...which I know is totally made fun of here. But I don't really care. To me, that isn't a problem with Anna's recipe. I like a noodle casserole once in a while. But hers looks so bad to me. Maybe it's the lack of vegetables. Maybe it's the fake cheese.

I have a noodle casserole one I do that has a can of cream of broccoli soup in it. And noodles. But then it also has extra spices and garlic. Cut up chicken breasts. And then actual vegetables...corn, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower. (I use frozen though.) It has some cheese (shredded parm) though not tons.

Is this a healthy meal? No. But I'd like to think it's at least a notch above Anna's recipe...ha!

[momofsquid]

They're integrating Tyler into the media circus confident that he will be acknowledged as Duggar#20. They believe everyone will forget that J'Chelle didn't produce him, and they're probably correct in the case of the humpers who will fondly recall the episode when Jyler was born. They really should do something about that pesky letter "T" before it makes someone pause and scratch their head...

I have fond memories of Tuna Noodle Casarole, one of the only things my mom cooks us from her childhood (60s/70s). We only ate it every 6 months at the MAX but man that stuff was good.
