We Are All The Duggars

Leo Tolstoy famously wrote, “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” The problem is that I’ve yet to meet a family that fits into Tolstoy’s tidy categories of “happy” and “unhappy.” The reality is far messier. Put tears and laughter, love and betrayal, fights and hugs into a blender and out will come a family. Even in homes where the walls are decorated with portraits of grinning moms and dads and kids, there’s usually a closet door that’s kept shut. Last week we were reminded of that, when the media flung open that door in the Duggar family home. And the skeletons came spilling out.

Got that exactly right!

I didn’t watch the show, but even I can see that the lynch mob here is misrepresenting some of the things that happened on the show. They’re also misrepresenting what reportedly happened during those “incidents.” And, in doing so, they’re hurting those girls further.

He doesn't use appetite control. He decided to be open to weigh as much as God dictated

[defconw]

Agreed!

I am not now nor ever will be a Duggar. I have learned how to keep it in my pants.
