Episode Recap of “Jana’s Secret Garden” and “A Quarantine Courtship”

Last two episodes of the season! Wahoooo!

Jana’s Secret Garden

1. The Duggar mommy gang (Kendra, Lauren, Abbie and Anna) visit Jessa’s house to snack and talk about mommyhood. Haven’t we seen this a million times before? It’s all baby girls galore in the tiny house with headbands flying everywhere. The ladies spend their afternoon making lactation cookies, since they’re all in “that nursing season of life”, and homemade baby soap because they’re also in that Jim Bob forced poverty season of life. Later Abbie and John and their baby take nanny Jana to Knoxville so they can get free childcare while other family members at home build a greenhouse for Jana as a surprise. Surprise! Now grow us some more food, wench! In Knoxville, Jana takes a woodworking class with John. She talks about starting a home décor business called Arbor Acres. That’s the name of the road the Duggars live on. Her business is registered as an LLC but the website for the business is unfinished. I don’t think she’ll put Chip and Joanna Gaines out of business just yet. The producer asks Poops and Lolli if Jana is the first Duggar girl to venture out in business and Poops has to bring up his boys. He says they ventured out by selling cars and flipping homes. That isn’t venturing out, that’s being a daddy’s boy doing the same crap daddy does. Michelle changes the subject back to Jana to make the point that Jana IS the first girl to venture out in business, though that business has yet to begin except for personal projects for her family as is expected of an IBLP girl. Jana’s business will most likely never open to the public. Not as long as she lives under Jim Bob’s authority. The guys bungle the greenhouse erection and the women folk attempt to paint flower pots with toddlers. Even though the kids ate a lot of the paint they still did a better job than the men. Jana gets her hair dyed while being interrogated by a rude and nosey hairstylist. I’m sure she was set up for this nosiness by the producers to get somewhat interesting sound bites for commercials. The guys finish the greenhouse with the help of their professional friend, Dwayne Andregg. I’m surprised the Duggars and Andreggs haven’t intermarried yet. It's bound to happen eventually. Jana’s gal pal visits to inspect. Laura approves. Jana flies home as the family decorates for the big reveal. Jana is really surprised and emotional over the greenhouse. It’s like nobody has given her any attention in decades and she’s not used to it.

A Quarantine Courtship

1. There’s a quarantine going on and a courtship announcement at the end. That’s about it. John bakes a cake for Abbie for her birthday…fast forward. The family holds a quarantine parade to celebrate Abbie’s birthday…fast forward. Jim Bob seems to be having a midlife crisis because he’s driving a 3 wheel sports car in the parade to show off…fast forward. The Duggar girls sew masks for their family only. I guess the Christian spirit didn’t hit them as it did many others when it came to supporting first responders and our neighbors. Fast forward through Jinger and Jeremy doing nothing in LA. Ivy starts walking so the Duggars visit to peep through the window at Ivy’s new trick…fast forward. Family Fun Night is now being held over Zoom. Jinger announces she’s pregnant again but they waited three months to say anything this time. She took a blood test to find out the sex because nobody in this family has any patience to wait. Jeremy kicks a soccer ball that shoots pink powder all over LA starting a couple of forest fires. Stock up on those headbands, Vuolos. Oh, and then Justin gets on the Zoom meeting to introduce Claire Spivey to the world as his courtship girl. I’m sure this was no surprise to the family and it wasn’t to me since stupid Justin posted a photo of him and Claire back in January and then quickly deleted it. That’s about it. Another season is over. Unfortunately, a new season will probably be back. I’m sure you can’t wait for more Duggar competitions, Duggar females getting pedicures, Duggar males acting incompetent, mommy chats, brother bonding, stupid themed parties, terrifying births and awkward courtships. Next season I would love to see Jim Bob going through a full-blown midlife crisis. Take that 3 wheel sports car and go hang out with Jerry Falwell Jr. for a while, Poops. I’m excited for that season of life.

Hello world!

Hi, so I’m Em and I have been lurking here for... 2 years now? I first got into mega families when I watched the first Radford special over here in the UK, way back in 2012 (seriously... 7 years of my life wasted) and from there I found the Duggars and then the Bates and then the Rodriguez... and everything kinda went from there.

I’m a primary teacher so the children’s (lack of) education is one of my biggest things. Also non-religious, non-patriotic and an only child so this is about as far out of my comfort zone as I could go, but I’m obsessed anyway!

Decided in this new season of birthing, I should probably just make an account. So hello there!

Hi, Everyone!!!

I’ve been casually hardcore lurking on fundie blogs for a hot minute and figured while we’re in babypocalypse/babygeddon I should make my own.

Intro post

Hi all! Not really sure how this works tbh. I’ve been a lurker on fundie tumblr and finally decided to make an account so I could interact more. I delayed making a post not really sure what to say but here goes it :)

I first discovered the Duggars when they were featured in one of those crappy TV magazines right around the time they built the Tin House. I was a young teen and though wow what a huge family, how odd. Forgot about them for many years until a coworker reintroduced me about 4 years ago and ever since then my obsession has grown 😂

What’s with the Duggar social media hiatus?

Not all of them are abstaining, of course. Jessa, Jill, Jana, Jinger, Jed and Jer still seem pretty active. Joy, Claire, Justin, and Abbie seem to post once in a while, though less than before. It’s Lauren and Kendra (well, and Anna) that seem to have gone dark.

I wonder if this absence is permanent or if Kendra, Lauren, and Anna are just biding their time until Josh is sentenced. I’m especially curious since I think Lauren and Kendra are both either pregnant or recently postpartum.

Hearing their family updates is interesting from a data point of view, but it would probably be better for their families if they lived more private lives. Honestly, less attention might also mean they (particularly Kendra) feel pressure to have literally as many children as possible.

I guess we will see!
