Yes. Rusty Yates encouraged her to stop taking her medication, contrary to the advice of three different doctors. Why that guy isn’t in prison is beyond me. He is just as guilty of what happened as she is, probably more so as he was of sound mind, did nothing whatsoever to help her and actually refused to allow her

I want to make a joke about that look, but just can’t. It’s so sad. (And, btw, the dude is so creepy looking.)

It’s the look of “reverence” their cult’s women are suppose to have while gazing at their “Lord”. Not even exaggerating. You’ll notice all the Duggar women using that look while their husbands talk in the talking head segments of the show.

It’s also because the ATI manual was probably written in the late 80’s. Or at least their artwork came from that time period. And since they don’t use the internet and are stuck inside a cult bubble, it’s obvious they don’t get to see what normal women look like.

I think its the opposite: I always think Mama Duggar’s hair looks like she’s in a Whitesnake video. Like she’s the “before” and then Tawny Kitaen is the “after” in the schoolgirl-to-slut transformation.

Michelle’s in particular looks like a badly done poodle perm. The older girls do a more mermaid looking thing that would be okay if it wasn’t so scarily obvious that it’s their cult-assigned hairdo and they all do the exact same thing. As a naturally curly haired person, I can’t imagine how annoying it would be to

She does it all the time, and I finally realized why it looks so familiar: it’s the Quiverfull Courtney. I’m equally embarrassed for both of them every time I see their respective, practiced-in-a-mirror, tell-me-I’m-doing-good-Daddy, versions of WifeFace.

That look is remarkably similar to the one my dog gave me when they took her temperature at the vet’s last week.

If I looked at my husband like that he would think I was having a stroke.

It looks like her facial muscles are getting a little tired of holding that expression.

Is this supposed to be some sort of adoring gaze? My dog looks at me like this when I put him in the bathtub.

Conceptual artist is genius.

Right on. Seriously people, Bose mother fuckin’ noise canceling headphones. Take some responsibility for your own comfort if the sound of children is that offensive to you.

As a single mother, it can be tough on the babysitting front. But, when I had to travel, we got on a plane. It went fine. I don’t accept the idea that being a shut-in in terms of travel is the only solution. The real world solution is to simply travel. Have a plan. Do your best. Be polite. Bring gum. Bring bottles.

I have flown with my daughter countless times, across countries- plural. And guess what? The first flight was awful but every time got better and now at three she sits with her headphones and doesn't even talk. We figured it out, because *newsflash* that's what humans do. We evolve and figure it out. I'm so over this

Actually fuck people who think they’re picking up my slack.

You’re the living worst. People with kids have to visit family, and sometimes that means flying. If you don’t like it you can always fly first class, which I have to assume anyone who wastes their life trolling people online has the means to do.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FLY SOMEWHERE BECAUSE OF FACTORS BEYOND YOUR CONTROL OR YOUR LIFESTYLE CHOICES, AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO SO WITH A CHILD. DON’T BE A COMPASSIONLESS MOTHERFUCKER. DON’T.

Only addendum to that: Some people should have a reasonable expectation of what “doing something” looks like. “THE BABY WAS CRYING AND THE PARENT WAS DOING NOTHING BUT HOLDING IT AND QUIETLY SAYING ‘SHHHH’ WHY DIDN’T SHE JUST GIVE IT A PACIFIER/FEED IT/WALK AROUND WITH IT” - because maybe she tried that already, maybe

Right. As a childless person, I mind the crying babies a *lot* less than I mind the teenagers/college kids who OH MY GOD MUST EXPRESS EVERY VESTIGIAL THOUGHT THAT CROSSES THEIR MIND AT HIGH VOLUME AND THEN SCREAM-LAUGH FOR THIRTY MINUTES OH MY GOOOOOOD CINDDEEEEE WOOO BRO.

Babies can’t help it; everyone else needs
