Jana Duggar, 30, admits she worries she is still single



Jana Duggar is the oldest single Duggar kid and she continues to live at home.

The unmarried 30-year-old talks about her single status on tonight's episode of Counting On

She admits she often gets questions about why she hasn't found the one.

She doesn't think she's picky, but people think there must be something 'wrong' with her — and she sometimes wonders if it's true:

"Most of my siblings have gotten married really young," she says. "Some people are like, 'Are you picky?' I'm like, 'I don't think so.'"

Her friend chimes in and says, "Or they're like, 'What's wrong with you? Why are you still single?'" Jana continues jokingly, "'Yes! And then I think wait... 'Oh my, is there?'"

Jana admitted in July that she 'longs' to be married

Being single in your 30s is not the be all end all. Her family has fucked her up.

People seem to think there's a race and if you are 30+ and unmarried you are a failure. Nah. I just value myself enough not to settle to be married by a certain age. It will happen if it happens. I refuse to force it. That never works!

It's really sad how these types of families fuck up their daughters. I watched this doc called the Virgin Tales about one of these marriage obsessed Christian families and the one daughter was 23 and unmarried and she had no life. She was pretty and smart and just lived with her parents and prayed for a husband. Like she never considered any other option for her life.

32 and single. I think I will just stay that way, with idk, probably 8 dogs and 8 aquariums, and console games.

Joining this club. I'm 31 lol.

I could definitely try a lot harder to meet someone but I don't care if I never get married tbh. Doesn't mean I want to be single forever, but marriage is whatever.

Uhhh this family still has a show? Have any of the kids gone rogue?

jill apparently has, she left the show a few years ago (I just found this out, lol) and she drinks coffee and alcohol now

Omg wow. I feel like it takes a lot of strength to break away from this type of devout family and community.

I'm shocked she does, tbh. She was the goody-goody of the family. I remember in an old episode, her siblings talked about what a tattletale she was and she was always ratting out her siblings that did "bad" things. I think I saw somewhere online that's she's been hanging out with cousin Amy a lot and that she's been "shunned" from the family. Well, not shunned but she has to be ~supervised when she's visiting with the Duggar children.

Didn't TLC fire them cause her husband made stupid comments about Jazz? I mean good for her for getting away but she married a mysoginist, racist asshole. So there's that.

the one married to the transphobe? no wonder she needs to drink.

a transphobe that truly looks like a rat btw. ugliness inside really does reflect on the outside sometimes.

Jill has gone somewhat rogue in that she left the show, her husband called out Jim Bob publicly, and they are sending their kids to public school.

Jill has stepped away from her upbringing quite a bit. Jinger & her husband seem to be annoying AF and super desperate to be famous influencers based on the episode recaps I read.

they do but they changed the name to Counting On.

I honestly didn't realize it was them.in the promo until they showed the mom clearly.

bluedjinns

September 15 2020, 20:26:32 UTC 4 months ago

I don't know her either, but my immediate reaction was "good for you." She managed to avoid what must have been intense pressure to get married young and start having children.

spoil

September 15 2020, 19:38:25 UTC 4 months ago

Nothing wrong with being picky girl. I've settled for literal scumbags because I thought that's why I deserved. I'm over it. Everyone should want the best for themselves and someone who treats them with love and respect. The selection is specficially abysmal as a straight woman in her mid 20's.

I need my space, if I ever get into a relationship again I might only want it on a LAT basis when it gets serious

maybe she's a super repressed lesbian. imagine the absolute hell a gay kid would endure in that household

Statistically speaking, at least one of them has to be gay, right?

I've never cared about being single, I actually quite like it because I'm quite selfish and stubborn, but lockdown has made me sort of assess if I want to change that.

30 and unmarried . . . eh. 30 & living at home, I side-eye that, but it's not necessarily totally weird. 30 & living at home & sharing a room with all the other girl children . . . yikes.

Also, people of NWA, please don't vote for the Duggar brother that's running for state senator.

"30 & living at home, I side-eye that"

Why? It's hella expensive to live alone.

sassalicious

September 15 2020, 20:13:20 UTC 4 months ago

I side-eye it because I cherish having my own space, I'm not even sure I could deal with having a roommate.

But I do know there are a lot of reasons for a 30 yr old to be living at home, so it's not something I'd actually ever hold against someone. Unless the person is just a bum, like the movie "failure to launch".

IDK, I actually think multi-generational households are a good thing as long as the adult children are actively contributing to the household with things like cooking and cleaning. The cost of living in most places is super high and people from working-class backgrounds especially benefit from pooling resources so they can save money and make future plans.

I don’t think it’s that weird to still be living at home, seeing the world we’re living in. Rent is extremely high in most cities and forget about buying a house if you’re single and don’t want roommates. I’d rather live with my parents than with random roommates. I’d also rather live with my parents than in a shady neighborhood in a tiny overpriced apartment.

vervain

Not everyone makes the money to move out. Especially when jobs are not safe bets.

thespockingdead

September 15 2020, 20:25:56 UTC 4 months ago

Tons of 30 year olds today are still stuck in entry-level jobs and don't make the money to leave, and it gets harder to find roommates as you get older since, you know, all your friends start to get married.

September 15 2020, 20:34:02 UTC 4 months ago

*shrug* I'm 28 and plan to finally move out of my mom's house soon. However my family is religiously conservative too (part of the reason why I'm beasting to get out...) and in our culture, girls never leave home until they get married so I know my family is gonna give me hell when I tell them I'm leaving.

IA with everyone else, plus in Asian families it's normal. I left my parents home at 18 and I just moved back a little over a month ago, I'm almost 30. It felt like a waste of money when I could just be closer to my family and living rent free since we can barely do anything anyways. Most of my friends back home actually still live here too, and many with their parents! Even non-asians. I don't really see a problem with it.

arsenicsugar

September 15 2020, 21:14:59 UTC 4 months ago

I feel bad for her for being 30 and living in that home specifically. Honestly, with all of the nonsense her parents must be spouting all the time it sounds like a terrible environment. Add that to the fact that it sounds like the parents keep using the older girls as babysitters for the approx. 32480590 little ones running around. Ugh.

trancexperiment

September 15 2020, 21:36:45 UTC 4 months ago

30 and living at home is incredibly common in a lot of cultures where kinship bonds are important and parents don’t try to immediately get rid of their kids at 18. And in this economy and for millennials it’s really not uncommon. There’s nothing to side eye.

I'm thirty three and "living at home" I guess. I've lived out of home, with housemates, alone and then owned a house with my mum and now I'm her carer. I'd rather live with her than any of the past house mates I've had. And living alone is way too expensive. I think the whole western concept of newly adult children moving out is going to rapidly change in the next few years. You can already see it now.

But sharing a room would be difficult I guess. I wouldn't judge anyone for it though. You do what you do.

It's better than spending the last 2 years begging a guy to act like he gives a crap about you and constantly crying because he treats you like shit while you're in love with him.

Totally wouldn't know what that's like at all though 😐

That's been the theory on why her parents never encouraged her ot get married.
