According to the posted article Jill Duggar is a CPM (fake crazy people midwife) or Certified Professional Midwife. Which apparently you can attain by

"You could simply take a correspondence course, attend a few dozen deliveries outside the hospital, pay money for an exam and voila: you are a CPM. Actually, you don’t even have to complete even those minimal requirements. You can simply submit a “portfolio” of births that you have attended, pay the money and take the exam, and voila, you too are a CPM."

She technically is a midwife because according to this article written by a pissed of actual doctor, the US actually allows these people to class themselves as midwives. Though not as CNM (aka real midwives). All she would have to do is be in the room as her mom popped out half of her brood, take one test and she's in like sin Josh Duggar.

Being a midwife is probably one of the few job skills that a Duggar female would pick up.

Except actual midwives have to go to a university and get a medical degree which involves seeing other peoples hoo hoo's and pee pee holders. It's not a skill if something difficult happens and they haven't the foggiest of what to do because they have no medical training. They're more like baby cannon cheerleaders.

Nope, it's 40 days after a boy and 80 days after a girl. You wait longer after a girl because girls are dirty and thus the vagina is dirty for a long time. Do you think these psychos care in the least for the health of the women?

The most reasonable explanation I can think of is so that if an older sibling writes their initials on their clothing and then passes it down to a younger sibling, the initials can stay the same.

Although that makes the most sense when the kids are in school and they'll write their initials on their shoes and stuff.

My cousins on one side are named Susan and Steven and my cousins on the other side are Jasmine, Jennifer and Jaclyn.

Wouldn't that just make it extremely difficult to tell who's clothing is who's? I mean, imagine doing the laundry "This belongs to J.D. Oh it's obviously x's"

The Duggers don't have individual dressers for the kids. Everything is in a giant closet sorted by gender and size. http://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/19-kids-and-counting/videos/laundry-room-tour/

Oh my crap. Does that even count as 'hand me downs' then? It's more of a free-for-all every time laundry is completed!
