Jinger Duggar Shares Why Going Home to Visit Her Parents Is Now ‘Wild' and ‘Strange'
Jinger Duggar is reflecting on how life has changed since she moved from her childhood home in Arkansas On the latest episode of The Jinger and Jeremy Podcast, the former19 Kids and Counting star shared how 'strange' it is to see her younger relatives growing up 'It's hard for me to picture the little kids as teenagers and as adults now,' she saidJinger Duggar can admit things have changed at her childhood home. The 19 Kids and Counting alum, 31, detailed a recent trip to Arkansas to see her family on the Wednesday, July 2 episode of The Jinger and Jeremy Podcast, which she cohosts with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo. She prefaced their story by saying the last time she saw her large family was around Christmas, and that in hindsight, she wished she and her husband 'would've planned better.' Agreeing, the former soccer player, 37, called it a 'logistical burden' to ask all of the Duggars to make the trek to California, which led their family of four, with one on the way, to do so instead. 'It was the most special trip. I think it meant the world to me in that season,' Jinger said. The reality star welcomed her third child, a son named Finnegan Charles, in March. She and Jeremy are also parents to daughters Felicity Nicole, 6, and Evangeline Jo, 4. Their most recent trip back home, while 'amazing,' was definitely different. 'I love going back to visit and at the same time it's overwhelming,' Jinger explained. 'And this is why, because we live away there are a couple siblings who live away now, just a few, and when you live away from family and then you come back then everybody wants to see you everybody wants to connect with you and it can be so tough to juggle all of that because when you have so many siblings and their families.' The growing number of nieces and nephews and more don't make things any easier. 'Trying to coordinate stuff is hard, especially when you're just there, even if you're there for a week. To be able to see everybody, to be able to, like, connect individually is hard,' Jinger said. 'It's kind of crazy though because when we first walked in, I thought this was so cute. We walked in and Felicity, she's like walking in [and] everything's clean. It's like perfectly clean. And I'm walking in thinking, okay, I know typically when you show up at the big house, it's kind of messy,' she continued. However, seeing it more organized than usual was a surprise. 'I thought, okay, this is a different season of life because you have, maybe five kids who live there now, and they're all grown. I mean, I say all grown. Josie's what, 15? But she's the youngest. And so that's strange,' she said. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. While discussing her siblings later in the conversation, Jinger added, 'I love seeing how they've grown and matured, what they're into now, because when I left, that was a long time ago. It was eight-and-a-half years ago. And those little kids are all grown up.' 'And it's hard for me to picture the little kids as teenagers and as adults now," she said. "It's kind of wild."

Jessa Duggar has a message for those criticising her 6th pregnancy
The '19 Kids And Counting' alum says she's been met with criticism and concern about the size of her growing family. Photo: Jessa Duggar/Instagram Jessa Duggar Seewald is addressing the 'rude' comments she's received since announcing that she and her husband, Ben Seewald, are expecting their sixth child. The 19 Kids And Counting alum says she's been met with criticism and concern about the size of her growing family. 'Honestly, I have heard a lot of rude and unnecessary comments but generally those like, 'Oh you're breeding like rabbits' … or 'Are you trying to follow in your mum's footsteps? Are you going to have 19?'' she said in a YouTube video on May 8. While Seewald said she's 'not going to have 19 kids,' she hailed her mum, Michelle Duggar, as her 'hero' and 'role model.' 'Her patience, her love, her gentleness, her kind speech … She is the golden example of a mother in my opinion,' Seewald said. 'So, when people say, 'Do you want to be like your mother?' I'm like, 'Yes please, Lord help me.'' The 37-year-old admitted that she and her husband have never settled on a specific number of children, but said they have no plans on having more. 'We weren't really at a place when we got married thinking, 'Oh we'll just have one or two,'' she explained. 'We were kind of maybe somewhere in the middle range. I think we had thrown out the number seven or something like that.' Despite the backlash, the soon-to-be mother of six says she's focused on her health and making sure each child is taken care of. 'We just take it one at a time,' she said. 'I always say in pregnancy or the early postpartum phase, I'm not really in a place to make a decision whether we're going to have another (child) or we're done. "And Ben's concern is always, first of all, my health. And then also our capacity to care for each one and love them well and help raise them up into adulthood.' The couple announced in March they were expecting once again, posting photos on Instagram of the sonograms paired with the caption, 'Halfway to holding you in our arms!' – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
