Michelle Duggar

It is, officially, all out in the open now.

For many months, the Internet was forced to speculate on where things stood between Jill Duggar and her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle.

17-year-old Justin Duggar seems on the verge of marriage to Claire Spivey.

His big sister Jinger has provided some insight into how Michelle and Jim Bob "encourage" their children to court and get married ASAP.

Josh Duggar is a bad man.

And we don't mean that he parks in front of fire hydrants or steals his co-workers' lunches out of the break room fridge.

Michelle Duggar knows what folks have been saying for years about her husband. 

Some say he's considered a controlling manipulator (right, Derick Dillard?) and others say he's been the enabler of a horrible molestation spree (preach, anyone familar with the Josh Duggar scandal)...

It's been a while since the Duggar clan has been embroiled in a major public scandal.

It looked like real trouble was brewing when a car dealership owned by the family was raided by Homeland Security agents in 2019, but amazingly, almost a year later, no charges have been filed, and the incident remains shrouded in mystery.

When a woman marries into the Duggar family, she does so with the knowledge that much will be expected of her.

Specifically, she'll be expected to have babies.

For months now, reports of the feud between Derick Dillard and Jim Bob Duggar have dominated the more Duggar-obsessed corners of the internet.

As you're probably aware, Derick is planning to write a tell-all memoir about his time with the Duggars, and he has repeatedly hinted that Jim Bob will not be portrayed in a flattering light.

The Duggars are primarily famous for two things -- procreation and discipline.

This is a family that loves making babies -- and once those babies are born, Jim Bob and company love to bombard them with rules and punishments.

When Jana Duggar joined Instagram last year, the move took many fans by surprise.

You see, according to the strict Duggar courtship rules, social media is reserved for those who have already entered serious romantic relationships.

Like just about every other family in the country, the Duggars celebrated a different sort of Mother's Day this year, as the coronavirus pandemic keeps us locked in our homes or standing six feet apart.

But for Michelle and her daughter Jill, the holiday was unlike any other for reasons that have nothing to do with the public health crisis.

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 fans have come to accept a certain level of creepiness from their favorite TV family.

The infamous Duggar courtship rules, the bizarrely strict dress code, the parents' constant meddling in the private lives of their adult children -- all of these have come to be tolerated, even by fans who would never inflict such intrusions upon their own offspring.
