Re: anyone else see the dramz on P&CE?
I refuse to go look, but some people on other boards were quoting the craziness... Seriously people- I think they are out of their mind for having so many kiddos however, its their choice. They have lost children before and I am sure they are grieving - there is NO need for this.
Yeah I read it last night and I could not get over the awful dead baby comments either.
A miscariage is devastating no matter if it is your first, second, after having several kids or none at all.
While I like the Duggars, maybe it is time for them to enjoy the family that they have instead of actively trying to have more children. I know their religion is against that, but her body needs a few years to recover from everything she has been through.
I wasnt offended or appalled by the fact that people think that the name Jubilee is stupid. I don't think mocking the name of a deceased baby is mocking the baby itself.
However, the posts that WERE blatantly mocking the miscarriage really upset me. I do think that a lot of it was done for shock factor, but I don't think the "Well I wouldn't say that in real life" excuse is acceptable.
On another note I am shocked that if you deliver a stillborn child in CA you are billed by insurance as if you went through a typical delivery.
exactly. I'm not a fan of the name, but I'm not a fan of a lot of the things people name their kids these days. But mocking the miscarriage, and the dead fetus itself? Disgusting.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!

I haven't read it, but I've seen some other comments online that I thought were just inappropriate and heartless. I don't like the "told you so" feeling that's come along with this miscarriage. People can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that they're LEAVING IT TO GOD. There's no stop trying for them. It's not the right choice for everyone, but it's their choice. All of the comments about birth control, vasectomies, or seeing this as a sign from God are obnoxious, IMO. As PC as the world is now about all things parenthood, I do not understand why the Duggars ideas about their family seem to be "wrong."
ETA: And I think Jubilee is a fine name, given the circumstance. It isn't a great name for a living child, but I've known a few stillborn babies given similar (although more common) names, like Hope. The Biblical meaning behind it is beautiful.
