I think it says something about how damn beige ChelsJohn are that this thread is 19 hours old and there have been no new posts.

I think it’s because Chelsy never posts anymore. And when she does, it’s just one big photo dump. In her single days, she posted much more often. Just like her unhappily single sister down now. We will know when Allison finds a boyfriend. She will stop posting the pathetic crap she posts now and she will likely post a lot less. 

We should look back on Chelsy’s post about her younger brothers getting married before her. Of course she was in a long term relationship with John when she wrote this and knew he was likely to propose at some point. So she could be as happy and smug as she wanted. Because she knew she was next. Oh how different this is compared to Allison:

I highly recommend reading Chelsy’s lengthy post about her brothers getting married. There’s such a huge contrast to Allison’s posts. There’s so much irony in this one blog post that I honestly can’t point it all out. So you all should read for yourselves.

Right? I’m actually starting to wonder if she was “getting to know” someone last year and it all fell apart. The last time I saw this kind of dramatic posting from a fundie girl, it was Jessica Boyer after her break up and sister’s wedding.

Bitter and desperate underneath is how I am reading it.

Nope. Me neither. See you in the prayer closet.

Stud John and Judgy Chelsy have a new nephew named Micah Joe.  He has the same initials as his grandfathers.  Enough with the patriarchal worshipping bullshit!

I wish Chelsy would make a big photo dump of Axton! He’s a little older now so we might be able to tell if he looks more Maxwell or Bontrager.

Not only do they again not name the parents here, they are calling him their 3rd grandson...... no mention of poor Jubilee and the fact Micah is actually their 4th grandCHILD. 

I would be furious if I was Carson or Carolina (Jubilee’s parents, if the Bontragers have failed to mention it).

He’s going to have some super crazy eyes either way.

"3. Don’t be condescending about their single status.

Your new sisters- if they’re single- won’t feel loved by constant superior comments about how wonderful marriage is/how much they are missing out on. They may really want to get married but it’s just not happening currently or they may not be into getting married right now at all; regardless, it’s where they are currently, and acting like they are less than for not being married is no-bueno."

 

This is the funniest blog I have ever seen ?  She must really hate them.

Wow. That post about little Micah Joe really shows how much more boys are valued in their world than girls. Not “fourth grandchild” but “third grandson”. I hope little Jubilee gets a sister she can be good friends with, because being a girl in fundiedom sucks.

Yeah, I actually commented on their instastory, and they wrote me back saying "oh sorry, we were just saying that it is our third grandson". I replied back that it was a weird way of phrasing it. And I asked how Bryn is doing. It is so weird to me that they didn't say ANYTHING about her. It's normally the first thing you specify - the health of the child and mother. Maybe it doesn't matter when she's only a "sister-in-love"..

That is why I hate patriarchy and Fundies so much.  Just like when Kyle was born Poor Sarah captioned the pic of Smug Joe and Kyle "Joseph and his first born son".  Made me ragey.

According to IG the Bontrager's are in Kansas now and finally get to meet little Axton. 

Do you think they also attended the Church of the Elderly on Sunday? I really hope Chelsy will post more in the future and I'd really love to see a house tour.

Boys are more valued in patriarchy but Bontragers take it a to an extra level. Other fundie families are really excited with the baby girls and all the little kids/grandkids seem to be enjoyed no matter their sex.

Bontragers sexism is so extreme that the birthing mothers are not even praised. Again, other fundies treat well the mothers when they give birth, praise them for their efforts with babies etc. Even Maxwells do it!

They didn’t even bother going to meet Axton, their eldest child’s first baby, for months, presumably because he’s a Maxwell not a Bontrager.

That will never cease to surprise me - they are ALL ABOUT family (it’s the theme of their “ministry”) and Allison seemed so close to Chelsy.

I am from a family that lives very independent lives, I sometimes go years without seeing my parents or sister, and my sister and I have little in common and wouldn’t consider each other “best friends” in any way. Yet my mother has travelled and taken time off work to be at each of my births and my sister spent a week with me after my first baby was born. I would have been SO upset if my mother hadn’t been there when I was having my first and adjusting to motherhood (she was never in the room but was the first to come in and meet the babies after birth). And if I had been attempting an unmedicated homebirth I think she’s the only person apart from my partner I would want there - I certainly wouldn’t want my mother in law, and she’s much warmer than Teri (and wouldn’t drill me in bible verses while I laboured).

They were on tour when the “cousin twins” were born. But they only had to wait a couple weeks before getting home to meet them. And since Bryn gave birth only recently, they didn’t have to wait long to meet Micah. They likely met Micah today or will very soon.

The Bowers girls and Bryn had their mothers there though (assuming Bryn did, she grew up in the same area). I just think births, especially of first babies, are a time when most women need their mothers. And if the Bontragers valued women and their needs they would have made sure Becky and Allison were there for Chelsy, even if it meant buying a few plane tickets and being absent from a few concerts. Elizabeth and Cassidy could have taken over cooking/laundry/piano for a few days.

I agree. Although my mom was useless when I was in labor. She almost passed right the fuck out! She can’t handle it when her kids are in extreme pain. And then my husband almost passed out at the hospital from looking at the blood. I was surrounded by incompetents! But I still love them. Most of the time ;)
