Duggar Family

Brace yourselves, reality TV fans and celebrity gossip followers:

Another member of the Duggar family will be joining us in the near future.

As you may already know Jill Duggar's parenting decisions are often called into question.

Sometimes the criticism is warranted, like when Jill inexplicably forces her young children to walk two miles for Chik-Fil-A.

The narrative regarding Jinger Duggar's decision to wear pants in defiance of her family's dress code usually goes something like this:

Jinger married Jeremy Vuolo, and like a wizard granting freedom to a house elf, he gave her the gift of liberty in the form of an article of clothing.

It's been three months since Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson got engaged, leading fans wondering when the inevitable wedding will take place.

Thus far, the betrothed couple has managed to keep a pretty tight lid on their details of their nuptials.

One rarely sees a critique of the Duggar family that doesn't include the word "cult."

And it's easy to see why all but the family's most diehard fans are able to recognize that their particular brand of fundamentalist Southern Baptism bears many of the hallmark distinctions of a dangerous band of zealots.

Folks, a full-on Duggar baby boom is in effect.

In case you've been having trouble keeping up with all the births, pregnancies, and rumored pregnancies, here's a brief rundown.

It's only Monday, but Jill Duggar is already having quite a week on social media.

First, Jill wore a swimsuit in a photo that was posted on her Instagram page.

These days, it's not uncommon for Duggar children to rebel against the constraints of their ultra-strict upbringing.

In particular, Jim Bob's offspring have been flouting the rules of the strict Duggar dress code by daring to wear pants.

Even the most ardent defender of Jim Bob Duggar (if such a thing exists) would likely concede that the best word to describe the reality star's involvement in his daughters' love lives is "creepy."

Don't get us wrong, JB exercises far too much control over his son's lives, as well (except, of course, in Josh's case, but that's a conversation for another time).

If you're a fan of her family's reality show, then you're probably aware that Michelle Duggar is a mother of 20.

(She and husband Jim Bob adopted their nephew, Tyler Duggar last year.)

Talk of feuds between various factions of the extended Duggar family is not uncommon.

The rumors often have to do with discord between Jill and Jessa Duggar, who allegedly went from besties to rivals at some point in the past few years.

About once a week Jill Duggar's parenting is criticized by concern-trolling mom-shamers who are apparently under the impression that Jill not only puts her children's lives at risk on a regular basis, but also enjoys flaunting her abuse on social media.

Now to be fair, Jill make does some pretty questionable decisions as a mom.
