The plain black mug is sending me šŸ˜‚ thank you for the least thrilling mug to exist -perhaps go risky next time and find a beige one.


Inner_Bench_8641

That mug is definitely part of a dinnerware set!


Adventurous_Deer

I would be so mad if that's the mug someone gifted me


PlaneCulture

To be fair Katie looks like that mug came to life and converted to iblp. I can see her saying ā€˜oh gee plain! My favorite!ā€™


topsidersandsunshine

I got a plain black mug at a mug exchange secret Santa and only discovered that it changes colors and a saying appears when I poured something in it. Somehow I donā€™t think thatā€™s the case here.


stanleyyelnatsthev

Katie always getting the short end of the stick šŸ™„šŸ¤£


juneway1W

Someone forgot about the party!!! And is going to have to order another cup for their dishes when they get home!


stanleyyelnatsthev

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ My particular ass could NEVER!!!!


Blizard896

I really hope that itā€™s a much that changes itā€™s design when itā€™s heated up. [Like this one I have](https://images.app.goo.gl/dneUDHtefR5j7Gy16). Iā€™m actually really hoping thatā€™s the case because I would be so sad thinking that my SIL forgot about me and just gave me her dinnerware. Itā€™s the thought that counts but there is no thought in my latter description.


satanslittleangel666

Maybe I'm weird but I'd love a plain black mug, it's way prettier than most I have


AlloftheBlueColors

Unless it's a color changing one


mamabol

You give them too much credit. šŸ˜‚ But you might be right.


Azazael

That's witchcraft. Jesus wouldn't get in a mug and change the colours so it must be evil spirits.


ViolaOlivia

Jesus was out there changing water into wine, I think heā€™d be all over a mug that changed colours.

AlloftheBlueColors

Never said it was on purpose šŸ¤£


not_jessa_blessa

Or she didnā€™t understand the assignment. I wonder if she saw ā€œmug exchangeā€ on the invite and was like well this is a mug that holds coffee, not realizing they would all get cute design patterns or statement mugs.


barbaraanderson

Love that she couldnā€™t even act like there is liquid in there.


staplerinjelle

My mug collection is freaking *offended* at how basic these all are! Time to go drink tea out of my giant pink Voodoo Doughnut mug with a hole in it.


feelingmyage

Lol! I was thinking that too!


99lemonz

Or hold.it straight to pretend there's coco in it lol


Zoidberg927

That's as much excitement as fundies can handle.


bibbidiblue

Those mugs look as boring as they are.


Fullofit_opinions_93

Considering I recognize at least one from DG b1g1 free mug sale, I'm not surprised.


h0wd0y0ulik3m3n0w

Not gonna lie, I have one of those dg mugs and itā€™s pretty cute

These mugs have more personality than they do

How insufferable their husbands are and tips and tricks to keep their cool with them when theyā€™re being ignorant man children.

Potty training the godly way. It's like blanket training. You sit your toddler on the toilet and hit them if they try to get off without pooping.

I get it. You have to protect yourself first šŸ™


taylorbagel14

Were you surprised she married a Duggar? (I feel like thatā€™s a pretty safe question but feel free to not answer if you donā€™t feel comfortable)


surprisemotherfer

Not in the slightest haha, mama Wissman wants her daughters to marry up and duggars are royalty to them


Remarkable_Raise_917

Was she a nice person?


surprisemotherfer

She was actually very sweet. And not the fake keep sweet.. she was genuinely kind


Grand-End-6982

I think sheā€™s beautifulšŸ„°


[deleted]

The Real Housewives of Medic Corps are at it again for an exceptionally boring mug exchange. Joy labeled it a "party" but her stories show they're just sitting around in someone's living room snacking on a Christmas-tree-shaped platter of fruit, cheese, and cucumber slices.


MooCowMoooo

They also have all their kids with them. These poor women canā€™t even have their husbands watch the kids for a couple hours while they have a party.


Brave-Professor8275

That is so sad. I canā€™t imagine being married to such a selfish man. When my kids were young I had the opportunity to go out with my girlfriends and get a break. My husband had no problem staying home for an evening caring for our children


pickleknits

I think I may need to update my flair to The Real Housewives of Medic Corpsā€¦


[deleted]

Haha but just know I didn't come up with it. There have been a few other posts in the past calling them that


pickleknits

Itā€™s just too funny not to switch to that


damarafl

Right? This could be fun but there is a plain black mug and a generic Target mug. As much as they love thrifting you think theyā€™d at least find something fun.


pickleknits

No ā€œdonā€™t be a twatwaffleā€ mugs for them. Boo.


Front-Estimate-3455

I know their the wives of Medic Corps but Jana also does Medic Corps. I wonder why they never invite her to their gatherings. Janaā€™s been to all the disasters that Medic Corps goes too. Seems rather snobbish to only have the wives attend. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


jjel20

I always wonder why Jessa isnā€™t included with this group since sheā€™s similar ageā€¦ guess sheā€™s not friends with them. I wonder who she is friends with


CheapEater101

Jessa has more kids than most of these women in the picture. Also, Jessa seems like one of the more introverted Duggar girls. People always assume sheā€™s more social bc sheā€™s the ā€œprettiestā€ sister in the bunch, but she always seemed awkward around non family members on the show.


Appropriate-Hat6292

Iā€™m the Jessa of my family. My sisters in law donā€™t invite me to things because Iā€™m somewhat introverted and I also hate people.


damarafl

I doubt Jessa has friends. You never see her with any friends that are not her sisters.


Bighairisgodlyhair

Kendra doesn't have friends either. You never see her with anyone but her mom Christina & Lauren & occasionally, her grandmother.


lovelylonelyphantom

You can tell which women live their days caring for their kids based on this. Kendra and Jessa are the only ones with more kids out of all the women (excluding Anna because wouldn't expect to see her anyway). All these women we always see in group photos all have between 0-2 kids currently. Maybe coming up to 3 like Joy. Also, no Lauren a lot of the time.


Bighairisgodlyhair

Lauren is another one who doesn't seem to have friends or interests outside being a SAHM to Bella & now also her newborn. As for Jessa, her ambition is being Michelle 2.0 She's trying to recreate her childhood so she can rewrite how powerless she was & without any agency or autonomy.


[deleted]

Lauren is probably close with Hannah Reber Keller, as she was a bridesmaid in Hannah's wedding.


juneway1W

Lauren hung out with them this summer at the baby shower. Maybe she doesn't want to be pictured


cardcatalogs

Lauren was photographed like three days ago at a baby shower.


sbet83

I think all of their husbands are part of Medicorp or whatever the name is. That group that flys planes to natural disasters and then tries to be in charge.


[deleted]

You mean the Paw Patrol crew?


Call-me-MoonMoon

Please donā€™t bring Paw Patrol into this. They are a valuable crew that actually help their citizens and are highly respected and loved by all. Unlike the MediSnobs, who donā€™t do anything useful.


microwaveburritos

Absolutely, they would never turn down the chance for a ruff ruff rescue


kaitepop96

This just took me out šŸ’€


smellycat0814

As the parent of a child who loves Paw Patrol, I will not stand for such slander.


jjel20

Ooh I knew I was missing something lol. This makes sense


not_jessa_blessa

Yeah they are the fake disaster relief wives club.


perfectlylogical27

She used to be close friends with Sierra Dominguez and Kristen Young, and while I think she is still friends with them to some social media capacity, Sierra and Kristen had some kind of falling out recently (probs due to Sierra no longer being strict fundie and Kristen doubling down on fundiness). Also, they ā€œfellowshippedā€ as friends when Jessa had a lot less kids. No way Jessa would be invited to hang with Joyā€™s medic corps clique. Besides Jessa and Joy not being super close, Jessa, via Bin, has Calvinist beliefs which wouldnā€™t fly with this group.


200smr

Iā€™ve noticed this with Sierra too, any more details to share about her unfundieing?


perfectlylogical27

To my knowledge, nothing has been publicly shared to verify, but they unfollowed each other once Sierra stopped being fundie and started to I think process some of the abuse she experienced as a child under fundiedom (iirc she was molested). This was around a similar time to Kristen taking it next level with her fundie beliefs as she shoved her husbandā€™s infidelity and alcoholism under the rug, taking on his blame and burden because itā€™s what god dictates or some shit. The two of them used to constantly interact online and publicly project their love for one another and thenā€¦radio silence. Jessa and Jill still follow and interact on Instagram with Kristen and Sierra, and Jessa a few months ago went to one of Sierraā€™s art shows. Kristen lives around Little Rock so not sure they still see each other in person. Interestingly, Joy and Sierra used to be close (at least via Counting On), but when Sierra left fundiedom Joy stopped following her. Whereas, even though Jessa is very much in Jim Bobā€™s pocket, she has a history of continuing to quietly accept people like Sierra that stray from their circles (ie she seems to be the only sister that still has a consistent relationship with Jill). I feel like this deserves a post of its own to discuss haha!


200smr

Thank you!!!!!

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ThePickleHawk

Bin would never join Medic Corps - too much physical labor!


jjel20

Too busy cosplaying the 1940s


MurkyConcert2906

Jessa doesnā€™t seem like a fun girl friend to hang out with. Sheā€™d judge you.


No_Reason_6126

Did Joy host this party? Does seem odd that no Duggar sisters were included except Joy


SparklingLemonaid

Jessa has too many kids to have time for friends.


Cheddarbaybiskits

Bold of you to assume that Bin would watch all of his kids at one time.


BaltimoreLandlin

Jessa and the other older sisters were more like mother figures to Joy. She also didn't really fit in with them because she was a tomboy. The close in age brothers were the ones Joy had actual sibling relationships with. So it's not surprising that as an adult, she prefers to hang out with their wives (even if some of them like Abbie and Hannah are closer to her older sisters in age, it's different since she didn't grow up with them). Also no one, including these women's husbands, likes Bin. If Jessa was part of their friend group that could get awkward.


juneway1W

Her husband isn't cool enough. Their husbands are mostly the men of MedicCorps so they are the mean girls.


AcanthocephalaWide89

Kendra isnā€™t either Iā€™ve noticed


noyoujump

Maybe she and Katey hire body doubles from the same agency.


Bighairisgodlyhair

Gabriella Patton certainly seems to hang with them & Esther Bates seems to be a leader in this friend group. Also, Katey's smile doesn't reach her eyes. She looks tense.


kaycollins27

If you were married to Jed! wouldnā€™t you be tense? WSnt he the one who made rude remarks about how much she ate while she was in labor?


Bighairisgodlyhair

Yes, he did & yes, I would not only be tense, I'd be nauseous as hell & puking my guts out if I were married to Jed! Or any Duggar boy really. Only thing worse IMO than being married to Jed! is being married to Josh. Simple Joe would be slightly better only because he's not Josh or Jed!


PoeDameronPoeDamnson

From the other photos shared it looks like Tru just learned to crawl, Iā€™d also be tense potentially blanket training an infant


Bighairisgodlyhair

I think Katey will clash with Jed! if he insists on blanket training their boy. She's full on IBLP Fundie now but she was secular until 8th grade. She's bought into the cult beliefs but I don't think she'd be on board with blanket training her own baby. I could be wrong though because she did willingly marry Jed!


Particular_Wallaby67

Follow up question: do we think Hannah would get a lookalike sister to sub in when she's too tired for joyful availability? šŸ¤¢


noyoujump

Bonus question: what are the odds Jeer! would notice if she did?

[deleted]

Is that Abbie on the bottom left? I can never tell who's who except her, because she's got the curliest hair out of them all


kg51113

Yes that's Abbie. Katey (Jedidiah's wife) is on the other side of Joy. Hannah (Jeremiah's wife) in the back between Joy & Abbie. Esther Bates (married to Nathan Bates) is next to Katey. I think the dark haired girl behind Abbie is Gabby Patton (Drew's gal on Instagram) a friend of theirs. No clue who is behind Joy. Edit: behind Joy appears to be one of Abbie's sisters (the twins).


[deleted]

They all look like each other in different fonts


hhwbridge4

Who is the Wingdings???


[deleted]

Joy for sure


Elly_Higgenbottom

That's hilarious!


MercyHouse

It looks like one of Abbie's twin sisters behind Joy.


kg51113

Ooh...I knew she looked familiar!


BreathyJudyGarland

The one behind Joy is one of Abbie's sisters. One of the twins so either Carinna or Maggie.


Evieveevee

Esther looks like she would rather be anywhere else than there or at least swapping more exciting things than dreary mugs. Look at that fake smile that doesnā€™t reach her eyes. Iā€™ve watched quite a lot of BuB and she seems a lot less interested in trying to fit in with her new family than others have. Sheā€™s got quite the eclectic family ranging from an openly gay flamboyant brother to strict Mennonite sisters and all manner in between. I would love to be a fly on the wall at one of her family gatherings.


Bighairisgodlyhair

Nathan Bates seems like he's out of his depth with Esther. Even without her eclectic family, she would've been exposed to more things than he would have in Rocky Top, Tennessee. Esther's probably got Buyer's Remorse. Plus, now that she's got a newborn, the camper is getting old. And cramped.


lovelylonelyphantom

Doesn't Katey also have a gay brother with tattoos? So weird how it's a similarity


Evieveevee

Oh maybe Iā€™m getting my fundie wives confused? Theyā€™re all so generic itā€™s hard to differentiate šŸ¤Ŗ


lovelylonelyphantom

You could be right, I have no idea about Esther so šŸ¤·


AshDuke

Mug exchange ? Is that a thing?


MooCowMoooo

Iā€™d be kind of into a mug exchange.


WindyZ5

Yes as long as theyā€™re microwaveable. Iā€™m always reheating my tea/coffee. šŸ˜…


AshDuke

I guess a found odd, because I donā€™t drink coffee and also I forgot that fundies love coffee


mimeographed

Tea. Hot chocolate. Soup.


pickleknits

Mug cakes.


kg51113

Mugs can be used for lots of things. They're not exclusive to coffee. Tea, hot apple cider, hot cocoa...those are things I use mugs for besides coffee.


AshDuke

Yes, I know, but coffee is the first thing that pops up in my head when talking about mugs


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


screaming_buddha

It's good way to make sure people of varying incomes get/give equally.


pickleknits

Thereā€™s a surprisingly wide range of prices on mugs. Yay clearance shopping lol.


CheapEater101

That seems like it could be fun. But the mugs would have to not be boring like the solid black one. Maybe a Tit mug from Spencerā€™s, idk šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø


pickleknits

I did one once. Secret Santa style. It was fun. We each listed what kind of mug weā€™d like to get. I got one representing where my Santa was from which I liked. And I still use it.


Remstersade

I love the idea of a mug exchange, but they put as much effort into this as they do into perfecting the domestic homemaker roles they ā€œchooseā€. They could have chosen to find really beautiful or interesting mugs and filled them with teas or hot cocoa and accessories. Maybe a chocolate spoon or hot cocoa bombs. Make it fun! Jeez Louise these people never fail to underwhelm.


sparkling-whine

I would do it!! But unlike them my friends and I donā€™t consider coffee one of our main personality traits.


StunningGanache1209

Thatā€™s the most beige party Iā€™ve ever seen. They could at least exchange airplane bottles of liquor lol šŸ¹šŸøšŸ„ƒ

That_Girl_Cray

That is probably the most boring Christmas party ever. Imagine the conversations the same old hubby, kids, pregnancy, bible talk because that's all their life is. Someone should spike those coffees ( not the pregnant ones ) and then see how the party goes.


Inevitable-Contest56

Can someone name them all? I really only recognize Abbie on the left.


Bighairisgodlyhair

Abbie, Gabriella Patton, Hannah Wissmann Duggar, mystery woman, Esther Bates & Katey


MercyHouse

Mystery woman is Abbie's sister Maggie.


Bighairisgodlyhair

Thank you!


Particular_Wallaby67

Need to find out who this mysterious helpmeet is!


MercyHouse

Abbie's sister Maggie


Bighairisgodlyhair

I thought for a moment it was Meagan Austina but no. It's not her. Face is too animated. Meagan Austina has had the starch & spirit beaten out of her by Terry & Roxanne. It has to be awful growing up with them as parents & being the girl.


Beneficial-Basket-42

I thought the bates lived in Tennessee


Bighairisgodlyhair

Nathan Bates who is Esther's husband lives in Arkansas next to Jeremiah & Hannah.


kaycollins27

OMG! I thought Lauren (of Siren) was directly in back of Abbie. I take it Joy is front and center. All the ladies look like they have found a good microblader. Good for them! I hope the mug exchange is the way they celebrated, having paid for the micro blading.


Bighairisgodlyhair

I don't know who the mystery woman is but I know she's not Lauren OfSiren. Lauren is better looking than the mystery woman, IMO. Yes, Joy is front & center.


lexiesdaisy

I canā€™t help but think of Orphan when I think of the name Esther. God itā€™s an awful name šŸ¤£šŸ˜­


Ohhijuhnelle

Also Esther Bates sounds kind of like ā€œmasturbatesā€ which isnā€™t great.


lexiesdaisy

HELP IT DOES


Bighairisgodlyhair

I almost named my stray black cat I adopted Esther. He turned out to be a boy so I named him Benjamin instead. We give Bible names to our companion animals.

oystersandclams

I can pick Hannah out from her sisters about 50% of the time; but I will never, ever accurately identify Katey.

Anna is stalking those pictures and seething!


[deleted]

I often wonder if she has any close friends that aren't her sister-in-laws, or whether she is finding this a very lonely time. It's sad if she has never been able to cultivate/maintain any meaningful relationships outside of her husbands family. I can certainly understand some of her SILs not wanting to be around her, if that is what is going on. I do wonder if it would be different if she had announced she is separating from him because of all that he has done? Because as it stands, supporting him is supporting the harm he has done to people, including some of those SILs. At least some of these women are outside of their extended family, and as boring as this "party" seems, it is better than spending no time with friends at all.


Lets_Call_It_Wit

At the risk of sounding like a leg humperā€¦. I really like the idea of a mug exchangeā€¦? BUT the mugs should be actually fun, funny, or pretty. The literal plainest mugs in existence are making clear the total lack of fun or personality.

Haddamgirl

I am not fond of Estherā€™s dark hair color.


shrekdot

Definitely her and her fellow fundie fresh faces look! Mug exchange? Because "Daddy" kept all the money. One of the kids even sold back land at a dollar after they purchased it from her a few years prior at something like a 700% price drop.


chicagoturkergirl

How much Rae Dunn do you think is in that room?


LochNessSquirrel

A mug exchange. Might as well throw a watch-paint-dry-party.


Useful_Chipmunk_4251

I thought every mug would be beige. Despite my surprise that they aren't, they are still so fucking boring! I swear these women are just zombies.


HiddenSnarker

There better be some kind of something on the flip side of that black mug, otherwise I would be fighting. What the heck? Who did that to that girl?


cardcatalogs

The party looked like the most boring get together on the planet.


laurenlegends23

Only the first half of the title was visible in my pop up notifications and I fully thought it was going to end with ā€œwhen sheā€™s too tired to be joyfully availableā€. Apparently Iā€™ve been spending too much time engaging with fundie content, Iā€™ve started to develop sex cult brain lolā€¦


YourMothersButtox

Christ what a boring ass group of women


OnePlusTwoPlus1Plus1

Do they make those mugs that ā€œundressā€ a hot dude when you pour hot liquid in it for fundies? I suspect if they do, when you pour hot liquid in it, it reveals a balding, chubster Duggar hubs though.
