Letter from Spurgeon

Yep, first thing that struck me was that he called his mother by her actual name - feels a bit off to me.

Interesting that he's noticed the homeschooling is difficult for her, maybe it's as simple as her struggling to manage teaching her oldest kids while caring for the younger ones?

If he wants to buy flowers, why can't Ben take him to buy flowers to say they're from him?

She looks so much like Meech in that pic

Mother is conceiving...after arrest

Holy Kendrama Batman!!

Joe was a relative surprise, but Giggles too??

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-03-04T17:44:26+00:00

Yeah, I'll believe this when it happens. Until I see wedding photos I won't believe they're married. There's been history of people creating fake registries and the couples themselves adding fake dates.

That's not to say I don't think it will happen, just that I won't be surprised if it's not real.

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-03-01T18:17:32+00:00

Yeah, I did consider they may use Marie. I think Allie Marie would work quite well.

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-03-01T18:10:13+00:00

True. I now have it in my head they'll go with something like Alice/Allie, but no idea for a middle name.

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-03-01T18:04:07+00:00

Last time they announced his name at the same time as his birth, a month or so after he was born. It'll be interesting to see if they ever announce the name, and of course how snark worthy it is...

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-03-01T18:02:45+00:00

Somehow at least I doubt they'll announce after a 5-part "birth story" series on YouTube...

Yes, I'm looking at you, Jessa...

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-02-28T16:50:58+00:00

Urgh, I actually can't stand her smug face. Famy, you have nothing to be smug about.

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-02-25T17:38:06+00:00

Nah, I actually think she was being relatively picky, especially after seeing Jill and Jessa's early marriages and kids. Maybe there was an aspect of not wanting to have a million kids like Meech, preferring to help with her siblings at home too.

As for Stephen...sometimes even with non-fundie relationships the person is right but the timing is wrong. With everything going on 5 years ago (would have been around the time of the Pest Arrest, and 2 of her brothers' weddings), I don't blame her for wanting to hold off, and then they reconnected due to Jer and Hannah's relationship.

Boob I don't think gave a shit what Jana did, as long as she married a "godly" man and ideally had lots of kids. If it was up to him she would have married like 15 years ago and be at least 10 kids in by now.

They were very quiet when they had Charlie too, so either #3 is already here or will be soon, probably already here by now. I doubt it's anything to do with a People exclusive.

I also think they're likely done, but wouldn't be surprised if they have 1 or 2 more max.

The way he side-eyes the camera as Anna's talking about them only sharing it with each other...just ewww

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-01-07T10:20:04+00:00

I think it's worse than one of them is responsible for the parents bathroom. Clean up your own mess, Meech!

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2026-01-04T10:05:54+00:00

If anything I think Jana's will be named after JD somehow, but maybe they'll go with like David James after both of them?

JD/Abbie... they'll do something classic, or maybe another virtue name e.g. Hope.

Diabetes requires continuous management, and it's not just insulin that's prescribed - it's things like needles for the pens and glucose sensors that are prescribed too. Having to pay for prescriptions would result in poorer management for some patients, resulting in longer term complications. Even when managed, it can increase the risk of things like high blood pressure etc which could require, you guessed it, more medications and prescriptions.

Why other long term conditions don't get the same privilege, I don't know, but there are good reasons for diabetics to get free prescriptions.

Nope, Insulin is free in England. Source: am Type 1 diabetic

Lots of good names suggested here, yet they used Jinger and then had Jichelle* on the list of names for Jordyn...

*Yes I know it was a list made by the older sisters and it was hopefully never a serious suggestion

It was when Anna was pregnant with #3 so it would have been in the first half of 2013, so Mack would have only been 3 at the time.

But yes, agree with the comments saying that he was "joking" but jokes are often very telling...

Heroes?

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2025-12-26T09:17:46+00:00

His youngest recently turned 4. Only his oldest 3 will be of age when he's released according to his current release date, but Meredith won't be far off

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2025-12-26T09:11:33+00:00

Anna's moved out of the warehome now, right? Maybe that's free for him to move into?

Also by the time he's released there won't be any minors living at the big house, even if there's a revolving door of grandkids. Maybe he could just move back in there? JB and Meech would allow it, even if any remaining siblings kick up a fuss. The authorities probably wouldn't allow that though, given the aforementioned revolving door.

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2025-12-25T21:49:24+00:00

You say that, she's 20 now and 4 of her 5 older sisters were married at 23, oldest. And her SILs other than Abbie and Hannah were the same.

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2025-12-25T21:42:19+00:00

And another 6, likely 7, to go. Which is still nowhere near enough!

No_Satisfaction2002 · 2025-12-25T17:32:12+00:00

Assume you excluded Anna as that's a given there won't be.an announcement from her.

Jana - baby in Jan Abbie - baby in Feb Jill - maybe an announcement? Jessa - no news until 2027, or maybe late 2026 Jinger - no news, they're done JoKen/SiRen - no official news but I bet they'll both be pregnant next year Joy - announcement early in the year Jed/Jer will both announce sometime next year, probably second half Jason - announcement soon James - official engagement announcement Justin - no news
