[mulepetter]

I was scanning the Duggar Blogspot (by Lillie and Ellie) and saw the following post from a few days ago. Can't this obviously unwell woman stay home with her kids . . . EVER????

Anyone else see the irony ? LOL. I'm all for Michelle working but its funny that she preaches the whole women are to work at home.

[Visionoyahweh]

I hope someone manages to film the CPAC speech. I'm sure it will be a hateful mess.

When does 'homeschool' happen? Even if all the kids are with her, Arkansas is an ORANGE STATE and http://www.hslda.org/laws/analysis/Arkansas.pdf

nevermind... there are no required days or subjects.. just notification.

[Jessica]

Don't tey have to do regular testing though?

However the "book learnin'" might be occurring - - Michelle is clearly not part of it.

[Anxious Girl]

I feel as though Michelle is one of those people who has kids to show other people that she is keeping up to the the "norm" of American society, but went overboard by becoming fundie and trying to pop out as many as possible. Is this the same woman who won mother of the year award? Leaving her kids all by themselves going on tours? Is somebody with them? 'Cause if there isn't at least two babysitters, Michelle's a bitch. I mean, the older kids shouldn't babysit all of their siblings all of the time! You know those mom coupons that kids give to their mom on Mother's Day telling them that they'll do certain chores for fifteen more minutes than they usually do or make mom breakfast withe dad for mom during the weekends? Michelle should give those coupons to her oldest girls. Again, can somebody please tell me how she earned this award, because my brain is getting dizzy just trying to comprehend it.

I wonder how they'll turn "always say yes to everything he asks" into a speech :think:

All you need to do is string a bunch of fundie platitudes together and sprinkle the following words throughout: encourage, blessed, precious, etc.

MIchelle's a fame-whore who would rather go out and get praise for spending time with her kids and being a great mom than actually spending time with her kids and being a mom at all.

I think these people think knowing how to read (for the men, so they can read the bible) and how to coo hand clean (for the women) are enough. Who was it who spoke with glee about ho his 9-year-old daughter couldn't read, but was such a perfect servant that she inspired another couple to abandon birth control because it was so clear that females being able to read is overrated as long as she can pour tea and wash feet?

But neverr say "headship" or people might realise you're not just like them ;)

So true! I'm more hands-on with my niece and nephew than Michelle is with her very own off-spring.

CPAC had their speech on the website last year. Last year, both of them spoke and it was Bachmann-esque crazy. And yes, they trotted out the D&P show for "entertainment."

Good, I kind of want to see this year's version of 'miscarriage is a blessing!'.

I really wonder if she'd have booked all of these events if she were still pregnant? That's a hell of a lot of travel over the past few months. Perhaps she knows 2013 won't be kind to her and is making hay while the sun still shines.

I think Michelle may be at the point where she realizes her days in the fundie or conservative spotlights are numbered.

[Deleted06]

I wonder how much these places pay J"Chelle to speak at their event?

[Elle]

You mean how much they pay his lordship, Jim Booby?

[Visionoyahweh]

No one gets paid speak, they just happen to get a love offering immediately after coming down from the stage. Nothing to see here folks!

[theologygeek]

Yanno, call me crazy, but that looks like a woman who works outside the home. Nah, I must be confused.

[koolmom]

Michelle is trying to out-Phyllis Schlafly Phyllis Schlafly.

Yup Michelle loves love offerings.

No, no, no! It's not WORK, it's a MINISTRY, and therefore perfectly acceptable! ;)

[m0drnmoonlight]

Oh my god, can this Mother of the Year ever spend ANY time with her kids instead of leaving her live-in nannies the J'Slaves with all the work?
