Josh Duggar Living It Up After ’19 Kids’ Cancellation: Molester Eats Out And Goes Mudding

Josh Duggar isn’t sitting around at home and sulking about the cancellation of 19 Kids and Counting. Instead, the embattled former reality show star is spending his free time enjoying outings with his family members and friends.

19 Kids and Counting was cancelled two months after Josh Duggar confessed to sexually molesting his younger sisters. Because his vile actions caused such an outrage, many of his critics likely thought that he would lie low for a while by holing up in the Duggar compound and overdosing on his mother’s tater tot casserole. However, Josh has made numerous outings since his show got the ax, and his family members and friends haven’t shunned him.

According to Us Weekly, Josh and Anna Duggar recently took their tiny newborn daughter, Meredith Grace, out to eat at an Arkansas restaurant. A sleepy-looking Josh took a break from his plate of pasta to pose for a picture, and the photo of the smiling father holding up his bawling baby was later posted on the Duggar Family Official Facebook page.

“Picture of our sweetest new granddaughter Meredith Grace with her mommy and daddy,” the photo was captioned. Meredith is the Josh and Anna’s fourth child.

Josh Duggar has been spending a lot of quality time with his kids now that he’s no longer working for the Family Research Council. As the Inquisitr previously reported, the former 19 Kids and Counting star stepped down from his position with the FRC soon after he made his shocking molestation confession. He was working as the executive director of FRC Action in Washington, D.C., so he had to leave his home in Maryland to move back to Arkansas after becoming unemployed.

Even though Josh is no longer getting paid to speak out against gay marriage and abortion, he’s still finding money to spend on having a good time. He recently let his Instagram followers know that he “had a blast” going bowling with his son Michael.

According to the Duggar Family News: Life Is Not All Pickles and Hairspray Facebook page, Josh’s family members aren’t the only ones spending time with him — he still has friends. He and two buddies recently went mudding, and a few Pickles and Hairspray commenters criticized Josh for going out and having a good time while Anna Duggar presumably stayed home to care for their infant daughter.

“This is just another typical ‘Duggar women take care of the house and babies, while the men folk do nada,'” Lori Reynolds wrote.

However, Lindy Lou thinks that Anna Duggar’s husband wouldn’t be of much use if he spent more time at home.

“I doubt he would be of much practical assistance. Cooking, cleaning, changing nappies is women’s work. Apparently.”

The mudding photo above appears to be taken from the Instagram page of a Duggar friend named Joe Donaldson.

He captioned the picture, “A little late night 4-wheelin in the humvee! We bulldozed thru the forest then rinsed it off in the ponds! Lol #boysandtheirtoys @joshduggar @markdominguez.”

Joe Donaldson is the co-owner of the Sam’s Furniture company in Arkansas, so he might help Josh and Anna furnish their new home. Joe accompanied Josh to a baseball game the day after baby Meredith was born, and he shared the photo below that shows his wife helping out with the renovation of Josh and Anna’s house. You can also see Jana Duggar working hard on the left-hand side of the picture.

“What a servant hearted wifee I have!” Donaldson captioned the picture. “After working a long day… she jumps in the truck with me to go help friends of ours clean & work on their house till late hours in the night! I love her!”

Back in April, Radar Online shared a few photos of Josh and Anna’s new Siloam Springs home, and it definitely looked like a fixer upper. Judging from the Instagram photo below, it looks like Anna Duggar has also enlisted her brother-in-law, David Waller, and a few of his family members to help refurbish the house.

There’s still no word on how Josh Duggar plans on supporting his family of six now that he’s lost his reality show and his job with the FRC, but for now he has plenty of friends and family members who are willing to help him rebuild his life.
