Fans Trash Jana Duggar’s Parenting Skills
Fans are concerned that Jana Duggar is expecting her first child. They took to social media to share their thoughts on the latest Duggar pregnancy. Many fans were concerned that Jana would be too much like her parent, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Fans often saw Jana parenting her younger siblings on 19 Kids and Counting.
Jana Duggar was often very authoritative with the other children. In fact, her sisters, Jinger and Jessa, would often threaten younger siblings with having to be in Jana’s care if they acted up. Social media has blown up in response to Duggar’s pregnancy reveal. Fans said:
- “Not sure why we’re excited and thinking Jana is the most qualified mother ever when we all know the behavior and patterns of the kids that she raised more than Michelle.”
- “Jana is the most experienced mother but that definetly doesn’t make her a good one. Hello, the other sister-moms would sometimes threaten the little kids that if they won’t listen, they will get Jana.”
- “I fully expect her to home school and these kids to be almost more sheltered than most of the siblings, because Jana has known nothing else her entire life than compound to motherhood and doesn’t even have youthful desire to explore and grow on her side.”
- “I recall reading posts here about how the young kids were afraid of Jana. She was clearly a disciplinarian. Also, if this ends up being her one and only, and the focus of all her attention and devotion, that kid could end up as a real nightmare.”
Many fans questioned Jana Duggar’s ability to parent her own child after seeing the way she interacted with her siblings growing up. Jana was often in charge of her younger siblings.
