Q&A with Jinger and Joy

Joy and Austin Forsyth and their kids spent some extended time in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago. While they were there, Austin was a guest on an episode of Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo's podcast, and Joy was a guest on two podcast episodes. On the first episode that features Joy, she shares her faith journey and some of the struggles and experiences that have shaped her life. Her second episode was just released, and it is a question and answer session with Jinger. They discuss their sister relationship, their parenting styles, the differences in their kids' bedtime routines, and how they keep up with all their siblings. Among other topics, Joy also shares her thoughts on Jinger's first book and how it helped her grow.

  1. They have to interview each other? Why not just pick up the phone and talk. Or talk face-to-face since they're visiting. Why film some stilted answers for the world to see?

    1. For the world to see. You're welcome.

  2. Bedtime routines? Wow. They really are out of gas.

    1. The point was "parenting styles".

  3. Does this podcast have any stated purpose? This stuff seems rather pointless.

    1. Just like on their old show when they had to make up scavenger hunts and stuff.

    2. The point is making money through ad revenue.

    3. The purpose is to get attention, why else does anyone go on the internet

  4. These are things that sisters talk about on the phone, not on camera. You really have to wonder about families who feel the need to film and promote their lives. Time spent on camera is time not spent with kids or spouses. Time they'll never get back. They also have to be guarded about what they say, since it'll be public. It's not a healthy way to interact with anyone. For a family who went through what they went through and begged for privacy, to the point of going to court when they felt their privacy was violated, what gives now?

    1. This is all about making money for themselves. They can just call each other and discuss how they manage their kids at bedtime.

    2. Easy money. This is not a mystery to be solved.

    3. The point is that now they have a choice of what to share rather than being forced.

    4. The "look at us, don't look at us" game is tiresome. Some Duggars get it and leave the spotlight alone. Some don't. There seems to be no in between. Have to ask, is the money really worth sacrificing privacy? If you answer yes, examine your priorities.

    5. @8:05 No, the point is they're still sharing.

  5. I'd like to see the Duggar "teachers" pass certification tests, or just the SAT. What level are they qualified to teach? I'd also like to know how their kids are supposed to learn in the home environment with crying babies, noisy toddlers, washing machines, ringing phones, doorbells, and barking dogs. There's a reason those aren't in classrooms every day.

    1. As a retired public school teacher, I am in favor of more oversight of homeschooling. However, I think you have a misconception about traditional classroom settings. There are many distractions during the course of the school day, I can assure you. Phones ring, doors are opening and closing regularly as students come and go for pull-out services, PA announcements, fire/tornado/lockdown drills, someone is crying because they forgot their homework or they threw up, a broken pencil needs sharpening, one person has to use the restroom and then five more need to go ... the number of interruptions are too many to list here! The wildest one I remember is when a deer jumped through someone's open window and made an appearance at my classroom door.

  6. I’m getting a feeling Jessa and Jinger aren’t as close as they used to be as well as Ben and Jeremy. Granted the Seewalds don’t have the room for guests when J&J do visit Arkansas, but even then, in their videos they stay at and are always with the Forsythy’s.

  8. I like the thoughtfulness shown by the sisters. I like their honesty. I like how they continue to grow, learn and encourage others by sharing their stories/ aspects of their lives. Eileen
