​@@StElmosFire53 Just as with this kind of comment, you have certainly been free enough with your criticism to take credit for one of the big reasons they're stopping.

I agree! Enjoy it!

It’s actually the quietest. I have adult children, it just gets busier.

[@michelleleapai7942]

Can you believe most of us have watched you since you were a little girl! Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us!

[@lisagardner1644]

You’re putting family first and that’s what matters. I will miss your videos but I completely understand! Hugs from Texas🤗

[@VioletJoy]

Very well said.

[@LisaR2392]

I LOVE how you let your kids do things that people now days wouldn't do.... climb and get dirty and just have some fun!!

[@LindyLoo40]

@@LisaR2392 My Nanna used to say a dirty child is a healthy child, making mud pies and playing in the dirt outside never did us any harm. People have become germophobes, the trouble is the way kids play today indoors it’s not healthy. We used to play outside all the time.

[@Mom-Mimi]

I completely agree!!! You never see kids being kids anymore, it’s so nice seeing your kids play and grow ❤

[@earthwaterfall1498]

What kinda ppl do you hang out with? Im in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Kids up here are cruising 4 on a 4 wheeler no helmet, dirt bikes flying down the highway, kid having fire on lake superior watching the sunset go down jumping in the freezing cold water. These kids go deep in the woods to family camps with absolutely NO cell service or wifi offered. If you live the city life i suggest you think about small town livining.

Good for you. I hate to see the trolls telling you what you should and shouldn’t do with raising your children. You let them learn by doing, let them get dirty and just letting them be kids.

Amen ughh I don't blame her for taking her family off KZbin, people are so nosey and always think their ideas are better then anyone else's 🙄

[@janicesauter]

Family comes first, and your family's needs and wants have to take precedence! Snuggle in with your family and enjoy!

[@gertibell]

I feel sad that a lot of people today worry too much about recording & making content. You should live life & if you want to record for your own memories, fine but you shouldn't have to think about that all the time. Just enjoy life & get through your day without feeling guilty about it.

[@daviator57]

I’ll miss your family. I feel you guys are real, not models & prima donnas. That’s what makes you enjoyable to watch. Blessings to your family.

[@kelseywinterhalt6468]

I completely understand that you're in the stage of life where you're busy with two kids and a one year old. But I'll look forward if we see you again on KZbin. 😊

[@sangiealford5032]

Mama’s definitely understand the car mess!! An old lady (95) at a nursing home that I worked at, told me not to worry about the kids mess. We will have a clean house/car one day when they are grown. But, be present with them when they are little because you can’t get those days back. 🥹 I took her advice and she was right!! My kids are grown now,and we might have not had the cleanest house or car, but we made memories. 😊 And, I wouldn’t trade those memories for the world. I sure am going to miss your blogs each week. I looked forward to them, but I totally understand!! ❤

[@juliejohnson8231]

Aw I'm sad y'all won't be making videos but I completely understand. Thank you for what you all have shared with us! Looking forward to seeing what you post when and if you do post!

[@candylee4684]

Joy, you've been in the public eye for most of your life, I think it will be nice for you and Austin to take a break. For many years, I loved watching your family on tlc. I think you have had the integrity to not trash your parents by just being an adult and continuing on with your own life and being true to who you are. You have a loving husband and darling children. May the Lord bless you all with good health and a joy for living.

[@n.pickering5082]

We will miss you but you need to do what is right for your sweet family, Joy. God bless you.

[@lindasmernes2682]

Joy, you are so sweet! I will miss your videos, but your family should always come first. I have been a Duggar fan for years and have watched most of you grow up.

[@laurie7604]

Totally get it....I raised 5 kids and I know I wouldn't have had time to do all the kid things plus social media. Of course, we didn't have it back then. Familly time is what you need to do !

[@candicechiga]

Sad to see your weekly vlogs come to an end. I do understand your decision behind quitting and commnend you for putting your family first! I think your children are the happiest I have ever seen and believe that is because you allow them to run, jump, climb and play like children should. Good job mama and papa!

[@nathalieleblanc8536]

You have had your life on camera for so long. It is time to have you privacy. I enjoyed watching you grow over the years and turned into a beautiful woman. Austin and you have made amazing little bundles of joy. Wishing you all nothing but the best in this new begining. ❤xxx

[@elizabethrichardson5769]

I’ve loved seeing you flourish as an individual and as a wife and mother. I’ll miss you all but I’m glad you’re prioritising your family above creating content 💜

[@deborahbrockington294]

I understand Joy. Take all the time you need. I'm going to miss your weekly video, but will be here when your ready.

[@Personaltouchmotherhood]

I know exactly how you feel.... after 10 years of teaching and with baby 3 due in November I decided it was time to stay home for awhile, at least while my kids are young.

[@0509kristine]

I'm sad that there won't be a weekly vlog, but totally understand. I hope nothing but the best for you and your family.

[@dawngrundy2753]

Thank you Joy and Austin for allowing us to share your lives. Your children are growing into fine individuals. Just love Evie’s personality and Gunner’s smile and Gideon’s going to be as athletic as his dad. So pleased you’ve reached a decision that is right for your family. Be happy and enjoy the freedom.

[@clarabrekke4372]

I definitely will miss your videos. I watched your show watched you grow up and you are an exceptional parent and I look forward to anything that you were willing to share with your fans.

[@Bryn_G_Mama_of_3]

I do not blame you one bit, Joy! It’s already A LOT keeping up with 3 kiddos (we have an 8 yr old boy, 6 yr old girl - our Evie! 💜 - and 4 yr old boy who are also very active like y’all’s babies) and I have always said I don’t know how you do it all. Then to add making, editing and posting content for KZbin, that’s sooo much extra stress. We’re so grateful for y’all sharing your lives with us for this long, and I wish you and your beautiful family days full of fun, love, laughter, happiness and lots of memories to come! You’re doing a phenomenal job, Mama!!

[@cindyjustice4650]

While I'll truly miss seeing you guys weekly, I completely understand. I am very happy that you will still do some videos so we can see how you and Austin are doing and see how the kiddos are growing. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. We love you so much, please know we will continue to pray for ya'll daily. Thank you for being such a blessing to our lives. ❤

[@JulieVanRyen]

I’ve enjoyed watching your blog. It’s refreshing to see a young Christian family, just be who they are. Ive liked seeing the kids just be kids. Family, always comes first and that’s important. I hope this will just be a break and we’ll see you again.

[@rdjg5162]

Your sweet family will be missed, but family is always more important. You and Austin are so real with your life and it’s been a pleasure to watch you both grow in wisdom. Looking forward to your updates.

[@hell0kittyyy23]

I will miss yalls videos especially bx I feel like you and Austin really have shown yalls personality more and more with the videos . Y’all are more relaxed and relatable than what I expected, and the children are the cutest.

[@laurieturner1916]

I'm so sad. I love your little family. You guys are great and honest and true. I don't judge on what others may have done in your extended family or in their religion. But i fully understand how stressful life can get and needing a change or a break. I will look forward to your videos when you do post again. Take care.

[@patriciagreen2627]

JoyAnna, You go, and you do you. You alone, along with Austin, are the best persons to know what is best for your family. May God bless you all and give you the desires of your heart. Good luck in the future. Enjoy those children while they are still little. They really do grown up so fast.

[@kathleenmedlyn]

What I love about you Joy is you are so down to earth, never pretentious, always honest. That is so funny with the milk spilled all over the car. Kids are such a handful, I know. I will miss seeing the kids weekly and their growth, but this is your life, not a TV show. Love you all.❤❤

Aww Joy, I'll miss you guys weekly. I've watched you since the beginning of 16 kids and Counting (or was it 15?) It's been a pleasure watching you grow. You're doing the right thing for your family.

[@tmbeck7]

I will miss your not seeing your family each week, but I do hope you upload videos occasionally. Your family's program on TLC and the Bate's program was something I looked forward to - seeing families that were Christ centered on TV was SUCH a blessing and SO encouraging. I still follow those who post on Instagram and KZbin. It is a living testimony of how God wants us to put Him first and you and Austin have been Godly examples to SO many... to more than you may ever know. Thank you for reflecting Christ to those around you and to all of us who watch on KZbin and Instagram! Your tests have become testimonies!

Watching your family grow has been such a joy! It is wonderful to see a young family genuinely enjoying living their lives for God. I’m thrilled that you’re feeling better physically and mentally, and it has been an encouragement to me for you to share your journey as a Godly young woman, daughter of the King, supportive wife, creative mom, caring sister, and active member of your local church. What a true JOY! 😍During this season of my life, I have loved praying for your family, both immediate and extended. God bless you! Will continue to pray.🙏

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful family. We always can use good examples of unconditional love, but God is raising up others and it's great that you are following his lead and stepping aside to spend time with your family. It would be great to see you come back and share once in awhile, maybe have a Christmas special or something every year I only found you recently but hey, I can see all the old ones now. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us viewers.

[@tarastreasure]

How did the replies turn out to be about a competition between husbands? Doesn't even make sense. The comment was about the fact that we will watch her videos even if she doesn't post every week, and the example was Jessa - she's close, a relatable example. Jeez.

I have been going back and watching some of your old vlogs. You and Austin both seemed so much happier when you we're just posting monthly vlogs or vlog updates. I can see how it would be a lot of pressure to produce new content every week, along with constant filming and I'm sure the mean comments from some people don't help. I will really miss your weekly vlogs and I do hope you post updates or monthly vlogs. You both have been a great encouragement to people with your faith in God and the way you raise your kids. Looking forward to whenever you post next!
