However, some Redditors are still curious about their certain trait, mostly called by many as the “keep sweet.” Keep reading to see what it was.
Counting On: Are Michelle & Jim Bob Duggar Still Applying Rules?
Many Counting On fans have wondered if Jim Bob and Michelle are still following their strict conservative rules. This comes after Jana shared vlogs with Stephen Wissmann from when they were still courting. The two have been very physical with each other during their courtship. They’ve shared frontal hugs, which were strictly against the family’s courtship rules.
Some even believe the two kissed before their marriage due to their body language during their wedding. James and Maddie Grace also showed physical intimacy during their courtship, making fans believe they no longer followed the rules after their reality show was canceled.
The Truth Behind The Family’s ‘Keep Sweet’
Some Redditors discussed the famous “keep sweet” tradition of the Duggar family. The term was created by fans who have followed the family over the years. According to the poster, they’re curious if the “keep sweet” was natural or was learned by Michelle. The poster even speculated if Jim Bob forced his wife to do it in front of the cameras.
- “Keep sweet” is a term used by some fans whenever Michelle or any of her daughters talk too gentle while not putting away a smile. According to some, it was something thought in their church, and many insiders have already surfaced confirming that it’s a common practice.
- “Fundies are taught women should have a sweet voice at all times, never speak harshly, use a sing song tone. It was drilled into me in my homeschool curriculum and books like Fascinating Womanhood that let you know your husband won’t feel manly if you don’t have this fake sweet speech.”
- “Its the fundy voice. Its learned for sure. There is a content creator who talks about it.”
- “Mormon influencers talk about it as well. And there was a popular linguistics podcast that had an episode about it as well. Definitely a learned/cultural thing.”
- “It’s learned. She spoke on the show about how she used to yell at the kids and she didn’t like doing that. I think she went too far in the other direction, there’s definitely a middle ground between not yelling at your children and the mouse voice she uses all the time.”
Counting On: Jana Duggar Aiming To Bring Family Back On TV?
While Jim Bob and Michelle remain MIA, Jana Duggar has been making noise on social media and YouTube. The Counting On alum has been uploading vlogs featuring the renovation of her fixer-upper. She also went extra creative with her content by splitting her vlogs and releasing them like an episode.
Some even said that Jana may be aiming to get her family back on TV due to her sudden online activity, especially after her wedding with Stephen Wissmann. But others think the controversies they’ve faced since Josh’s CSAM arrest would make it difficult for them to make a TV comeback.
