The Duggar girls have little chance at normal lives, but fans still have hope -- and love to see when they break Jim Bob's awful sexist rules.
Well, as part of Joy-Anna's bid to convince fans that Austin Forsyth isn't a creep, she revealed that she kind of has a job. Like, a real job.
Duggar women tend to get married and start popping out babies at a very young age.
But Joy-Anna Duggar took that tendency to a new level when she married Austin Forsyth while still in her teens and got knocked up almost immediately afterward.
Like so many members of the extended Duggar clan, Austin Forsyth is in the real estate biz.
He may be young, but Joy-Anna Duggar's husband already has several years' experience buying and selling homes.
At some point in the future, Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth will start a family.
As you may tragically know by now, the Counting On couple suffered a miscarriage this summer, with Joy-Anna having to actually give birth to a stillborn baby after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Well, that was fast!
Just last week we reported that several members of the Duggar family had traveled to the Bahamas in order to assist with Hurricane Dorian relief efforts.
Earlier this week, we reported that several Duggar kids had headed to the Bahamas in order to assist with relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Dorian.
It's hard to imagine that anyone could be critical of such a move -- but these are the Duggars we're talking about.
Duggar fans and critics alike have long suspected that Jim Bob forces his sons to work for him to maintain a measure of control over them.
This time, at least, those sons are going to work for what looks like a good cause.
Even following their tragic miscarriage, Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth share a lot of themselves with fans -- including the occassional bit of TMI.
This time, they shared a photo of some very casual PDA -- some simple hand-holding.
It's great to be able to lean on family in trying times.
That's exactly what Joy-Anna Duggar is doing in the wake of her heartbreaking miscarriage.
Joy-Anna Duggar is nothing if not very, very open on Instagram.
This has always been the case, throughout both good and bad moments in the reality star's life, most notably of late when Joy-Anna and husband Austin Forsyth tragically suffered a miscarriage.
As you may have heard, some extremely heartbreaking news came from the Duggar family last week.
Joy-Anna had a miscarriage at 20 weeks pregnant.
WARNING:
The following photos are both heartbreaking and disturbing.
Heartbreaking news today from two members of the Duggar family.
In a lengthy and understandably emotional Instagram post, Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth have alerted fans to the following:
When Austin Forsyth and Joy-Anna Duggar got married back in 2017, their union was initially shrouded in controversy.
Joy was only 18; she announced that she was expecting shortly after the wedding, and reports that she had secretly gotten pregnant before marriage were persistent.
The Duggar family is about to birth a small army of additional grandbabies, and Joy-Anna Duggar's pregnancy is only the latest.
The entire family is giving Joy-Anna a congratulatory shout-out.
The Duggars are officially angry at Meghan Markle.
That's the only explanation we can come up with here, as nearly every female member of this polarizing family have recently announced they're expecting with the implied goal - we can only presume - of showing up the Duchess of Sussex.
It's been just over a year since Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth welcomed their first child, a son named Gideon.
And, as they haven't adjusted their worldviews since the days of horse drawn carriages, the entire Duggar clan was overjoyed that Joy had welcomed a boy -- who can one day earn money -- as opposed to a girl, who can only spend that money and make more babies.
From the moment Joy-Anna Duggar married Austin Forsyth, the relationship has been mired in controversy.
In fact, the scandalous scrutiny began well before the wedding, as it was widely rumored that Joy-Anna had gotten pregnant prior to tying the knot -- a major no-no under the Duggars' ultra-conservative belief system.
If you know anything about the Duggar clan, then you know strict adherence to a very rigid set of rules is essential to their self-identity.
Duggar women, in particular, are taught from a young age that they've basically been put on earth in order to do exactly what the men in their lives tell them to do.
It's only been almost two years since Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth got married after a very brief courtship.
But the couple isn't wasting any time when it comes to reaching all the traditional marriage milestones.
