Michelle Duggar

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.

If you know anything about the Duggars, you know they're very big on rules.

Name an aspect of the human experience, and Jim Bob's got a strict set of guidelines governing his children's participation in it.

If you're a fan of the Duggar clan, then by now you've probably heard about the Derick Dillard vs. Jim Bob Duggar feud that's been dragging on for months.

These two have been at each other's throats for so long that the Dillards and the Duggars even spent Thanksgiving and Christmas apart.

The Duggars are a polarizing family.

This may be the most understated sentence ever written on this celebrity gossip website.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are best known for having a lot of kids.

And for having started a reality TV franchise.

For a few days there, it looked as though the feud between Derick Dillard and Jim Bob Duggar may have subsided.

Now, it appears that not only is the war back on -- Jill Duggar has entered the fray, and she is not holding back.

Recently, the Duggars made a trip to Los Angeles to visit Jinger ar her new coastal home.

The thought of the Duggars at the beach is a ludicrous one, and sure enough, it seems there were some real "fish out of water" moments as the ultra-conservative Arkansas clan made their way through the bastion of West Coast liberalism that is LA.
