Duggar Girls on Growing Up on “19 Kids and Counting”

You know them as part of part of the 19 Duggar children from Arkansas, but Jana, Jill, Jessa, and Jinger Duggar have branched out on their own to talk about "Growing Up Duggar.”

[@annaconigliaro2907]

I find it upsetting that they don't let the ones over 18 move out and encourage education. the girls are not baby machines they are human beings, who have limits.

[@TaraConway16]

Joseph went to college. They can do it if they want to. ☺

[@annaconigliaro2907]

TaraBallou16 true but they don't want the girls to go to college just the men.

[@TaraConway16]

+anna conigliaro I heard they were encouraging Jana to. ☺

[@annaconigliaro2907]

+TaraBallou16 I heard that Jana wanted to go but Jim Bob and Michelle refused to let her go.

[@TaraConway16]

+anna conigliaro Hmmm I guess we may never know, but I'm sure she'd get up and go if she wanted. ☺

[@HeartMyKPop]

I really like the idea of whispering instead of raising your voice when you are angry with your kids!

[@julesdey6353]

Love that you agree!!! We should all practice that context before marriage. :D

[@BrookeSingleton]

its good because kids get used to yelling and shouting and stop paying attention, and you dont want your child to get used to yelling and shouting. its much better to lower your voice, which draws them in to listen to what youre saying instead of tuning you out because youre yelling

[@aliciagraham3401]

You can see now that they’re parents that it’s stopped them from getting short with their kids too. It’s easier to parent without yelling if you were parented without yelling. Plus as a parent you don’t damage your voice and get your blood pressure up.

[@HannahSnickers]

I teach and this works. If I get extremely fed up I end up just whispering to them, they immediately stop what’re they’re doing I love it. Saves us all the stress of yelling!

[@aliciagraham3401]

Hannah Snickers I could imagine as a teacher not yelling would save your voice a lot too. Because if you’re dealing with 20-40 kids in a classroom, chances are there’s a lot of correction to be done.

[@kristenmoore4028]

That awkward laugh when she asks if they ever lose track of their siblings.

[@GniatTaing]

[@vanillapoodle]

What would happen if one of them were gay? There is no way out of 19 kids they are all straight and agree with the things they were raised to believe.

[@MLBmusiC1]

Of course they'd all come out straight... Sorry to break it to u, but gayness is a life style choice, not something ur born with. I'd put money that all of them are straight.

[@vanillapoodle]

Coralily Rose Sorry to break it to you, but being gay is not a lifestyle. Why would someone choose to be gay in a world so filled with hate you can't even walk down the street holding the hand of someone of the same sex without getting stared at? Don't even try to say something like that about something you obviously don't know shit about.

[@dididisun]

Why it is ' no way' for all of them to be straight? That is one 'funny ' assumption. Ha!

[@LadyNatural100]

News flash, everyone is not gay! Just because you choose to be gay doesn't mean it's impossible for others ( even a large family such as the Duggars) to be strait. Nobody on this earth was born from 2 eggs, or 2 sperm, your DNA didn't make you gay. I choose to be strait, you choose to be gay. I don't have a problem if your gay, but take ownership of that and realize people choose to be good, choose to be bad, choose to believe in God, choose not to, choose to be Gay or choose to be strait, and it is not impossible for all of the Duggars to believe in man+ woman. If you don't like strait family's or believe its unreal, then watch another show.

[@hadleighbuck7989]

They say that 1 in 10 people are gay so that means at least 1... maybe 2 of them are and if you watch the show theres a couple of the older boys who make you question lol.

[@tj-melissahopkins2526]

They talk like robots. You can tell they are literally trained to say these things and Michelle looks nervous that won't say everything correctly. This is rediculous. I grew up with the same denomination as them, Baptist and I'm so glad that I didn't have to live this way. It's so sad.

[@Dadiddy97]

TJ-Melissa Hopkins Yeah but they're only Baptists on the surface. They actually follow the teachings of the quiverfull movement.

[@ashleyfigueroa100]

Or maybe there nervous ...

[@TheFruitloop186]

TJ-Melissa Hopkins Well there is mainstream Baptist and there is this Quiverfull Fundie movement that the Duggars claim. The two are polar opposites. I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church and I view these people as if the may as well come from Mars. All these extremes that are placed on the children are psychologically unhealthy. As parents, we can only give advice, we can't hold total mind and body control over our children, at least I can't. The Duggars have raised a bunch of emotionally stiffled robots. When a daughter is not allowed to go to the college of her choice away from home, that is a good indicator that the parents are jailers not parents. It's sad when you look at how these girls are programmed. There is not one original thought between them that they can verbalize.

[@doraybarra422]

Julia S

[@floodgates182]

Of course this has been practised before, only not for the reason you think. These girls are not professional talkers, they don't just answer interview questions off the cuff. they were given the questions before and thought of the answers to them and learned them by heart. This is common practice in media, no sinister plan by the mother. Your hatred is blinding you to simple facts.

[@05BabyReg]

Emily J. This "wordly" nonsense is maddening. Are the Duggars not living in the world, susceptible to its imperfections? Are YOU not in the world, breathing the terrible world's air, eating the terrible world's food? Do you realize how arrogant it sounds when you complain about "the dangers of being in and of the world," then saying that you're so "godly" so it's all ok? There are dangerous choices we can make, but society is not inherently dangerous. Hiding behind religion because you're scared to go out and actually make an effort to work, make friends, and adjust to becoming an adult is cowardly. But please don't say that you're better than anyone who isn't religious.

"slow to anger, a love for the Lord, is he going to be a spiritual leader?" very wise. I'm glad to see morals and values here :)

[@GetInThaKitchen]

"A love for the lord" - A love for someone for whom we have no reason to believe in? How about a love for the tooth fairy? It would be no less reasonable "AIs he going to be a spiritual leader" - As in a nutcase who believes in the tooth fairy (oops, I mean "god") and wants to preach to everyone else that they should too? Yeah, such an important quality.

[@MissLionRose]

"A love for the Lord" = Honoring God's Word (The Bible) & Praying and doing well unto others, as they would be done unto you. "Spiritual Leader" = In Jill's definition refers to a future husband which is a strong Christian man who lives & walks with God everyday unto his family, community and the world & universe at large.These are literally the two most important qualities to have for a future husband to have unto his wife.

Michelle looked so uncomfortable and like she was on the edge of her seat, hoping the girls didn't screw up what they were about to say. At one point I even thought Michelle was mouthing the words to them. I enjoy the Duggar shows/specials but their children are so indoctrinated.

[@lizabth247]

I just don't like their idea that physical contact/"dating" can't be dating with a purpose. If I date a guy, I'm not just throwing a part of my life away for him. I'm trying to see if he is going to be a man I can spend the rest of my life with him.

[@jessicawalker4386]

Yeah, and i think it's a little weird that the first guy they court or, the only one that is shown, is the one they marry? Like I don't think that realistic at all

[@23magneta]

They are not obligated to marry the first guy they court. They can't break up if they find they are incompatible.

[@mrtee3988]

Arranged marriages are far more successful.

[@BrookeSingleton]

thats because they spend time with him first as friends before they court, so once they decide to court, they already know that's the guy they want. so they're kind of dating before the courtship, but just saying the time spent together is as friends.

[@gracepastuszek3887]

I think the only thing these lovely young women are being groomed for is getting married and having kids. The 2 oldest are training as midwives, still centered around birthing babies. What about college for these young women, what about a life that has to do with something other than following in the footsteps of their Mother, just popping out babies on a yearly basis. You would think with the world like it is today their parents just might want a little more for them than that.

[@05BabyReg]

Absolutely! It's sad that these girls have so much potential that is being wasted. It's hard to watch them get older and still live at home, equipped with no skills to do anything but get married. Jim Bob and Michelle's "training" is now being put into practical use as they age, and it doesn't seem to be helping any of the kids. It simply makes them appear depressed and angry. Very, very sad.

[@terryestes2988]

Kathy Kitchin Your comment reminded me of my nephew saying that any woman who was a stay-at-home mom was a waste. I worked, but only at my ex-husband's insistence. My heart's desire was to be able to be at home with my kids. Nurturing, loving and rearing children to be strong, hard working, moral adults is not a waste. It's the hardest and most rewarding job on the planet.

[@05BabyReg]

Terry Estes If a woman wants to stay at home with her kids, great. I agree that it is a wonderful and rewarding job. I am fortunate enough to stay home with my children, and I love it. However, you and I know the difference. These girls simply have no choice but to stay at home. Their parents openly discourage them from any sort of "worldly" options, and I don't think that's either fair or healthy. In other words, they are controlling their entire lives (hopefully some wisen up.) Do you see my point? They are, for all intents and purposes, given no choice in the matter.

[@marysmithson6438]

If you watch the show you will see that all the kids, including the girls, who are finished or preparing to finish high school are doing college prep courses. They are being offered the same opportunities as the boys. That said, there is nothing wrong with aspiring to be a mother - the most important job in the world.

[@marysmithson6438]

Kathy Kitchin There was an episode of the show where the girls and boys who are finished/finishing high school were talking to a college advisor and preparing for college. There is no potential being wasted - they are being offered choices. After watching numerous episodes, I can't find any of these angry and sad kids you are imagining.

Wonder if any of the molesting made it into the book...... 'growing up Duggar means you get felt up by your older brother repeatedly, even when you're as young as 4, even when you're asleep.

EvelineUK Unfortunately many (NOT ALL) Europeans are haters like you. And it shows. I've lived long enough in the UK to know you type. (Even if one of their sons did commit a horrendous crime at 14, they've changed him for the better). Btw, did you go counsel & help those 1400 girls raped for 12yrs by your favorite 'non-Christians' in Rotherham? Or do you just hate on these good people coz they are traditional, Christian & white? I know how some European women like you think. If these people were not those three things (especially white) I doubt if you'd come here for years to post hateful comments. All your HATE is impotent. They will continue to live & multiply & prosper beautifully. And their huge brood continues to grow by leaps & bounds what with the Bates & the Wilsons & countless others. All the while, little 12yr old girls get raped in the UK & the police ignore their complaints so as not to affect ethnic relations. These people are too nice to say this to you, but from the bottom of my heart let me say this to you- FUCK OFF you pathetic hating bitch. (Btw you don't have to be so sad & hateful, you could look into your heart & find the love in it that these people live with (religion or no religion) ;)

And if after my & my wife teaching them, if one of my sons did such a thing. He'd never be able to repeat it. What doesn't breathe doesn't repeat (if you read my comments I suggested the a less harsh punishment for Josh since he isn't my son). But that does NOT mean traditional life isn't the way to go imo.

[@ashleymoore6313]

These girls are so beautiful inside and out! I know their momma was proud to hear what they were saying! I'm honestly surprised how hateful the comments on this video are. Maybe it's because I am from the Bible belt, but I agree with most of what they are saying. I do think it is kind of odd (mostly just different) to wait until your wedding day to kiss someone for the first time. To be honest, I'd be happy for my son to bring home a girl like them. I would also be happy for my daughter to be friends with someone like them. I think they are a great family.

[@rdnugent1]

People that talk that way are really jealous. Look at most of the families today: Usually divorced or no married parents at all, kids are disrespectful, uncaring, lazy, etc. You have kids in their 20s and 30s endlessly trying to "find" themselves (because after all, that's what their parents did instead of PARENTING them), acting like overgrown children into adulthood. When people criticize the Duggars, I usually say, "That's ok. Because I bet your upbringing or the way you're parenting your children aren't nearly as good as they are." And I say this while at the same time admitting that I'm nowhere near the mother that Michelle Duggar is. But I'll admit it without being nasty toward them.

[@sofuggit]

As much as I do NOT agree with their political or religious views, I can't deny the admiration I have for their 'throwback' to the way families were so long ago, when the older children helped with the younger ones, everyone had an important role in the home and the kids were so respectful. Even as an atheist I can see that this is family of solid function, a lot of love and a real passion (not over the top like pushy Christians) for what they believe to be right. Passion is always admirable, even if you don't agree with what someone has a passion for. I do NOT go with the liberal or atheist flow, blindly following with the pack. That's the epitome of religion and I would never be a conformist for the sake of acceptance in the community. I think for myself. -- And honestly, let's face it... the Duggars have stunning children. Every.one.of.them! Just gorgeous. I see families with only three children and they have at least one screw-up kid! But they have a reason to hold their heads proudly with so many children and not one of them with an issue.

[@userexists123]

Yes, back in the day of larger families, the older children did help with the younger ones. But, in this family, it becomes the full time job of the older girls to take care of the little ones. They even have teething and bed-wetting toddlers in bed with them. And we get weirdo Mom telling us that they all wanted to be together in one room. What? Do you really buy it that teenagers and young adults want to share a room with toddlers all their lives until their creepy controlling father chooses some man to transfer his authority to on their wedding day...... a man they hardly know, have never been alone with, never hugged or kissed or seen when frustrated or angry, and have only held hands with while being constantly chaperoned since they became engaged? Jill was even asked by JB who was going to chaperone her an hour before her wedding when she went to have devotions with Derick IN THE CHURCH before the ceremony. That is not a healthy way to treat a grown woman. It's creepy beyond words.

[@sofuggit]

userexists123 Yeah, that part of it does concern me. And yes, the kids all agree that things are great, life is perfect, yadda, yadda... but it's all they've ever known. They've been 'conditioned, as religion does and requires. It's also what cult leaders do. But I don't think this family is really of the cult mentality, but they come pretty close. And I think it's pretty sad that mom would continue to churn out children for her other children to raise. if this happened in most other 'non-religious' homes, it would investigated by CPS and possibly prosecuted. But under the Constitution, they're protected due to religious freedom.

[@userexists123]

I too thought this was a weird but lovely family until I read a little more about the IBLP and ATI, both of which they adhere to. The subjugation of women is laid out in their teachings, masquerading as biblical. The kids don't know any better because of the creepily closed kind of life they are living. Women are seen only as helpmeets to their men and are discouraged from having tertiary education or any career other than wife and mother to as many children as they can possible churn out before menopause. Modesty is all well and good but to say a woman in a bathing suit is no different to wearing her undies in public is just over the top crazy. Everything is about sex with them. Even to deny their kids the pleasure of dancing to music, which is a pretty basic joy of life, is deemed to be exposing the boys to "desires which can't be righteously fulfilled". And Michelle says it's "because I have better things to do that shake my body parts". NOPE! It's all Bill Gothard. People fear Muslims are into breeding large families to eventually be a majority that can impose sharia law in western society. This lot are also dangerous in that they actively work to impose legislation that would restrict access to abortion and birth control as well as deny rights and freedoms to LGBT people. In a few generations there will be thousands of Duggars. Scary!

[@brandy1185]

I'm not worried about whether any of the kids are gay, but I'm more worried about one or more of them questioning the religious views. I feel like you are born with your beliefs almost as much as you learn them with your upbringing. It's like a 50/50 chance. I knew at 3 when my grandpa was reading and teaching me parts of the bible that I thought there was no way that stuff was real. And I have quite a bit of family members who grew up as Jehovah's Witnesses, which is a very strict Christian religion too, and at least one child in each family was silently suffering because they did not believe. And it's hard because Witnesses shun people who leave and even family members refuse to talk to them, so you are pretty much being shunned from everybody you knew growing up.

[@DMM8389]

I honesty think their isolated lifestyle is what drove Josh to touch his sisters. Always being forced to be around nothing but your bros/sis. Not allowed to hold hands/kiss while dating. A 14 year old boy going through puberty, in this kind of isolated situation is bound to do something. I don't think josh is attracted to children, but was more so curious about girls. In normal society most of us will at least secretly go off and kiss a crush, but they always had 24/7 supervision. These kids don't experience a kiss until they are married. All that pent up energy was just trouble brewing.

[@akimbz9622]

Using the puberty thing as a reason or scapegoat is always so nauseating to me. The main reason from my POV that this happened with him is because their entire teachings to these children is that its the WOMANS responsibility to make sure the boys aren't aroused by them. There is no teaching of self control on the males and how to control or release your sexual urges. I doubt they even teach a single one of them about sex until they're almost married. Their lack of teaching that boy has contributed to his behavior. There was no fault in "puberty" or isolation because he's 1/19 thats done it. If that were the case im sure quite a few more of those boys would be making headlines. He has a sick mind and his parents didn't get him the help or education he could've clearly used.

I love the advice they give because you can apply it to your life and get positive results even if you don't believe in God or the religion. No matter who you are, living life in a positive, loving way will breed positive things for you :)

[@irisiris1149]

Love them!

[@georgiemallins14]

Would love their new episodes posted!

How did I just notice after all these years that all the kid’s names starts with J

[@lecourageuxame100]

I really admire this family so much. I like their values and everything, however, I feel like because they are sheltered and has been kept away from the bad things in this world, that I'm not too sure if they had the free will to turn out as decent as they are right now. I feel like they're nice and full of moral because they haven't been exposed to the evil environment and evil influences. I too and my family is very religious and share the same values and morals as the Duggars. We moved to a different country and we now live in a city. I was not exposed to bad things and I didn't know there was such thing as drugs and what not , so I had to adjust to knowing that not everyone shares the same belief as me and my family and not everyone is nice and accepting as how I used to imagine the world to be. I now also have friends who are so different than me, some of them do bad things and some are good. I've been exposed to bad things and even though I have changed the way I dress, I am still the same person and I am still like the Duggars girls except I don't dress like them (no skirts nothing. Modern but modest). And even if I'm not as sheltered from bad things anymore, and I have changed the way I look, I still choose to be holy and follow God.

The Duggar girls are so sweet and loving. Not to mention Gorgeous!

Such beautiful girls.

I love these vids. Just so you know: I did clean my space, organized my condoms after doing laundry, did a meditation on 'holes of love', and finished doing a new moon nude bath and ended with a cucumber enema. Ready for a nap after watching this vid.

[@kianna621]

Jim Bob and Michelle did a wonderful job raising their children through Christ. I am glad they had all their children and stopped using birth control because now this world has 19 God fearing beautiful great people.

[@bebespeaks7827]

God fearing, being the key phrase here .

[@kodavenix4585]

I know this comment is old, but atleast three or two of them will grow up to become atheist or gay. I mean, cmon. Especially if you're raised in that kind of lifestyle, you'll eventually rebel. It's more likely people that are raised like that become the total opposite.

[@indiaxlovee]

kianna621 amen!

[@brittaniesidebottom]

Jim Bob and Michelle didn’t raise them, they raised each other. Particularly the older girls. They missed out on their own childhood and teen years because mom and dad had more kids than they could physically handle. That’s not fair, and selfish on Jim Bob and Michelle’s part.

[@torystrending7285]

They are so blessed to have a mother as soft spoken, mild, and gentle as Michelle.

[@laineeivany9760]

[@mommy16able]

lainee ivany You are so right about that! The skeletons are coming out! Some of the girls were molested. SMH

[@shardaejackson8142]

😂😂😂

[@annasawyer9433]

Although I don't agree with some of their views and ways of life. I do respect this family for raising so many children to be good people. Hold it with the Josh comments, I didn't say all children. Love how helpful and respectful the kids are. Good values to have.

[@overcomeevilwithgood]

They are sooooo cute!!!!!!!

[@brynneworldxox]

Duggar girls- my Brother molested me, it's such a blessing....

[@crazyhai8155]

The irony is, they do believe it was a blessing. They believe it happened for a reason, to teach them to forgive, and get through hard times. Coming out the other side can be healthy - but not when you're still minimising it, and having to toe the party line, so your parents can carry on earning.

[@madisonlewe1057]

BryBeauty There's no way they came out of this without emotional trauma. These poor girls.

[@brynneworldxox]

Madison Lynn I'm not saying they didn't, but they shouldn't say it's a blessing when that's not what it is

[@madisonlewe1057]

BryBeauty Oh I know, I meant that because of their emotional trauma they refuse to see it for what it was.

[@liehnej1]

BryBeauty I've NEVER been molested myself.... But, GOD! Been molested anyone IS NOT A BLESSING.

how can they say tv is bad while being on tv? thats hypocrisy on their part!

[@DrawingGal4]

I'm really glad I lived in a open minded and small Christain family. Because unlike my actual family who's interested in my questions and respects my decision to be agnostic, these parents would go apeshit

[@DD-jr3mq]

they would disown you :)

[@waifu_png_pl6854]

they would act like u left a cult, they would kick u out of the house and maybe u couldnt speak to them until u turned christian...

[@jeffreycox558]

Wow you need Jesus im praying for you.

[@priscillanieto3322]

Wow. So many people are calling them robots and brainwashed because they actually have standards, value faith, dress modestly and contribute to their family by helping out with their younger siblings? I guess most people should drink alcohol, smoke drugs, show off their bodies and treat their family and younger siblings like garbage.

[@brandonjay3104]

+Priscilla Nieto sarcasm, but true, yeah true but untrue 'cause you're using sarcasm.

[@KS-vf3ru]

[@nqobilemalunga7184]

look how proud mommy is

[@taryndancer29]

The Duggars have amazing genes! I also love how different they all look yet still siblings.

[@deathlyhallowed]

I don't know how anyone can look at these girls and not perceive how much more understanding, mature, and sophisticated they are than so many other girls their age. "why don't they go to college?" They take their studies incredibly seriously and are educating themselves to pursue vocations that contribute to society. They, asking with their siblings, will be able to do so much good in the world because of the way they were raised. They choose to live selflessly. Society could use more of that.

[@Ineshp1]

deathlyhallowed Yes, people who think transexuality, marrying a person for another race, being friends with people with different beliefs are all sins is exactly what the world needs, right? .Besides, they believe so much in Science that the world would probably be really advanced right now!

[@justice2016]

Those are not sins. We have free will and we are accepting...

[@Ineshp1]

justice2016 I'm talking about the Duggars' views.

[@michaelbaker724]

The reason they chose the j names, is because if you type 19 J in a row, lowercase it looks like 18 crosses.

[@brittaniesidebottom]

They actually chose the J names because they didn’t want the last baby to not have a J name and be left out. And since they obviously couldn’t predict when the last baby was, they all had to be with a J.

[@maggiehahn4540]

Those girls are all so beautiful. Luckies!!!!!

[@MandyGood]

These girls are perfect examples of how to live for the Lord. They are still sinners but they are godly girls, who have wonderful role models as parents. I'm so happy when I watch them on TV and I've learned, as a Christian, a lot from them. They are great servants of God and that clearly shows for the bible says, be doers of the word and not hearers). For everyone who questions their skirt wearing. They wear skirts because jeans and pants show off your curves and butt and as a Christian, women are to be modest. Its just something Michelle feels convicted for her and her children to wear skirts. Its not like that in all Christian families but it is in some. It doesn't make them better or anything. Its just something they feel to do. I think the skirts are cute with the leggings. I'm going to start wearing skirts more often. God clearly gives both parents strength to raised their kids. Its their choice they have 19. There's no need to point fingers. They have God on their side. God can do anything! They love God and they show the fruits of the spirit! Im reading their books and they are truly amazing family.

[@beriking]

Mandy Good I cringed so hard reading that. I believe in god, jesus and so on, in a way, but you took it to a whole new level. I'm really afraid to aks whether you believe in evolution

Mandy Good BUT... Michelle was a cheerleader in high school and showed plenty skin. She and Jim Bob kissed before marriage. " Do as I say, not as I do " That's BS.
