She rubs a lot of people the wrong way. The cake was probably better than hers. That’s why she threw it out.I watched a few episodes this morning - including the one where the twins took a cooking class.
I simply could not believe it when one tried cooking something at home (a cake) and Kate told her that it was not good and threw it out.Mean mom!
She just rubs me the wrong way…
I don’t condemn her for the way that she ‘blows up’ sometimes because if she didn’t she’d end up keeping all those emotions bottled up inside and exploding big time, all at once which would NOT be good. 
**Be sure to post your findings here when you’re done with the book!**Okay, so who here has read their fairly new book, “Multiple Blessings”?? My sister in law just lent it to me tonight as a matter of fact so I better go get reading on it! I was told by her that the book really explains a lot of why Kate is the way she is, whatever that means.
**I didn’t watch last night, but the night she cleaned the frig, she said there was mold in it and she did clean up mouse droppings out of the pantry, so it might not have been too clean.**Okay, so I read the book in one night. It was pretty good, and not too long. I didn’t ‘tear up’ while reading it like my sis in law did.
Would I buy the book? No, probably not, I’m not big into buying books tho, would rather rent them from the library. I would recommend it though. She is a very spiritual person, she refers to the Bible more times than I can count. I think she’s a good person w/ a good heart after reading it. OCD? Yes, I do believe she is wayyyy OCD. She talks a lot about Jon in the book and about how much she loves him, how she couldn’t have asked for a better husband and father, etc., maybe she’s just one of those people that has a really difficult time ‘showing’ her feelings but can write them out quite eloquently.
Mason, I didn’t see the episode where they walked thru the house for the first time, well I take that back, I caught the clip of it where she was freaking out over the fridge. I feel really sorry for the past owners of the house if they saw how she flipped out over that, it didn’t look dirty to me, even when the camera zoomed in on the shelf that she was holding over the sink:shrug: . But just wondering, was the fridge last night different than the one she was ‘cleaning for 8 hours’?? It looked different, unless they just removed the cabinet panels off of it. But then again, they weren’t even moved in yet completely on last night’s show and she had artwork hanging on the fridge, was that done to try to ‘conceal’ a new fridge so we wouldn’t all take note?
Why she would tell her kids that they aren’t allowed in her room is beyond me. Are you sure she didn’t mean the camera guys? That’s just plain wrong if so.
My SIL is Chinese and when her kids were little, they had indoor shoes and outdoor shoes, and anyone visiting them HAD to remove their shoes. May be a cultural thing.I don’t get why she is so weird about shoes in the house.
I would never think of telling someone to take off their shoes when they visit:shrug:
I think its a family show and not so bad but they sure do show a lot of episodes maybe too many…
I like the Duggars
I understand why they want the room off limits and there’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s the way she went about it that rubbed me the wrong way. She didn’t ever say anything to them about an exception if there was an emergency or something and a four year old doesn’t understand the difference on their own.
This is funny, because I would never think of wearing my shoes inside someone’s house! Just the way I was raised, I think. I consider it rude if someone comes in and doesn’t take off their dirty shoes.
You like the fact that after the youngest child is 6 mos old, they are passed off to one of the older children to basically be raised?
Well if that is the case even then, the older children are doing a far better job than Jon and Kate raising children. Sorry but your quip doesn’t fly with me.

**There is nothing wrong with older children helping out with the younger ones, but I take issue with the Duggars since Michelle weans the child at 6 months and passes the baby off to an older child to get up with in the middle of the night to feed. If you made that baby, you signed up for the night feedings. Sorry.
When you have to take issue with something that is apparently a family decision upon their part then that is your problem. I am sorry but I was in the same shoes as a teenager. It did not harm me in any way and I don’t see it harming any of the Duggar children.
she openly admits that she has trouble nursing, it’s in their book. She would love to be able to nurse without trouble, but it hasn’t worked well for her, she goes through months of pain, to do what is best for the baby. I’ve never seen anywhere that she stopped nursing at 6 months, but then again, that’s none of my business. It’s their baby, there is no rule that you have to nurse until they are 2!! The longest I nursed was 6 months, because I stopped producing enough milk, I hope no one judged me on that!
**I was wondering the very same thing about the older children getting up w/ the babies. Where was this seen/read?? I’d like to see it w/ my own eyes before I believe an ounce of it.
