Duggar Family

We haven't checked in on Josh Duggar in a while, but there's good reason for that.

For one thing, the very thought of the guy is enough to make our skin crawl, and checking in on him is always a painfully icky experience.

It's been almost two years since the start of the Jim Duggar vs. Derick Dillard feud that forever altered day-to-day life for the members of the Counting On clan.

Prior to that, the Duggars were about as close as any family has ever been.

There's no bigger news in the Duggars' world than the arrival of a new baby.

Usually, the new mom can't wait to post pics of her latest bundle of joy for the benefit of her millions of Instagram followers.

Forgive the most obvious(ly awful) introduction in celebrity gossip website history, but:

As we've been documenting for awhile now, Jed Duggar had been counting on (there it is!) representing the people of Arkansas in the State House for the next two years.

A few days ago, Jill Duggar stunned fans by posing in some revealing bathing suits.

Over this past weekend, meanwhile, the mother of two attended a gathering with her relatives, who went ahead and revealed something of their own:

Jessa Duggar sat down this past week for a YouTube video alongside her parents, Michelle and Jim Bob.

The conversation was really pretty normal throughout, with Jessa's controversial mother and father just telling viewers to respect the decisions their kids make and to keep an open mind at all times and, above all, to make sure your kids know you love them no matter what.

Duggar pregnancy rumors are like Donald Trump's coronavirus press conferences:

They happen every day, and you usually have to sift through a lot of BS in order to find a kernel of truth.

Last week, we declared Kendra Caldwell the most popular Duggar in-law.

That might still be the case overall, but it looks like we've got a new winner in the male category, and it's probably not the Duggar son-in-law that you would expect.

At this point in the coronavirus pandemic, you've probably been forced to venture out and procure provisions at least once.

And even though you knew what to expect -- nervous people in face masks keeping a safe six-foot distance from one another -- you might still have been thrown for a loop by your first experience of a world that's been completely transformed.

As we've said several times in recent months, these are tough times for Jim Bob Duggar.

Jim Bob is feuding with Derick Dillard, and it seems his daughters have not been as quick to take his side as he would like.

For over a month now, the coronavirus pandemic has been altering the landscape of American life like no other event in modern history.

While our nation's frontline workers have been called upon to put their lives on the line, most of us find ourselves faced with a much simpler task -- staying at home.

For the first time in recent human history we're all coping with a situation that none of has ever encountered before.

That being the case, you'd think we'd be a little sympathetic toward those who are handling the situation in a manner that we might consider less than ideal.

From a young age, women in the Duggar family are taught that procreation is their primary reason for being.

Many fans of the family have adopted this attitude, and it often manifests as an unhealthy obsession with the uteruses of Jim Bob's daughters.

Fans are still debating whether the Duggars followed social distancing guidelines on Easter Sunday.

But no one is questioning that Jana looked absolutely drop-dead gorgeous in her Easter outfit.

The Duggars have been appearing on television consistently since the days when the Discovery network put them on the air so that the nation could gawk at this freakishly large family.

Of course, as the years went by, viewers realized that their obsession with breeding was just one of the many things that makes Jim Bob and Michelle two of the strangest reality stars of all time.

These are very tense times in the Duggar household.

What began with a feud between Derick Dillard and Jim Bob Duggar has developed into something much bigger than either man.

These are strange times for the Duggar family.

Of course, these are strange times for all of us, as the coronavirus has forced billions of people to shelter in place and avoid human contact.

Earlier this week, Jinger Duggar was mom-shamed over whether she was or was not following coronavirus advisories correctly.

Now, fans think that she is endangering little Felicity much more directly, and are taking her to task for it.

Jinger Duggar has been in the news a lot these past few weeks.

It seems that in the absence of any actual celebrity news, Duggar fans have decided to comb through her every social media post in search of something to get worked up about.

In certain circles, the Duggars can do no wrong.

To put it in political terms, the family has a low ceiling, but a high floor:
