In the least surprising non-bombshell to break out in the celebrity gossip world, Jinger Duggar said over the weekend that growing up in a family with 18 siblings can be challenging.
On the latest episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, the sixth Duggar child explained to her co-host (and husband) some of the awful things about being the daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar at…
For one thing, the family couldn’t afford their current 7,000-square-foot home at the time.
As a result, they live in a small rental house, with the children and parents sharing two bathrooms, resulting in lines— and cold shower.
“I think it was a bigger problem when we were younger because most of our rentals only had two bathrooms,” Ginger said on the podcast.
“There’s always a queue and the water doesn’t hold up very long, so if you want a hot shower you need to be one of the first two or three people.”
Ginger, who broke up her family in a memoir last year, also said she and her siblings were extremely hungry as children.
“I remember a few times, when we were little, some of my brothers and sisters would take away their food, take food off their plates— Get ready, this is disgusting. – In the bathroom, they would take it and put it on the bathroom counter, and my mom would say, ‘Don’t do that,’ and they would say, ‘They’re going to eat it,'” Ginger recalled.
“That’s what they’re thinking, ‘I’m not going to be able to eat my food because someone’s going to take it away and we might not have enough food today.'”
In a few months, Ginger will publish another book.

“We always try to buy everything at Aldi because it’s so cheap, we’ll buy canned ravioli, green beans, corn, and we’ll eat it out of the can,” she said.
“So ravioli, we would eat them cold and that was our meal a lot of days, and then we would eat green beans out of a can and pour the salt and vinegar into the can and eat it, which was our favorite.”
On the fashion front?
Jinger and her sister have tried their best Whenever siblings go out.
“Jessa and I usually pack all the kids’ clothes, and sometimes even the older teenage boys will say, ‘Oh, I don’t care, just buy me some nice clothes,’ so we’ll Many times when we go shopping, we pack clothes,” Kim told the audience.
“Before, we were all about coordinating everyone’s colors, so we wouldn’t match, and we hated matching, but my parents were like, ‘We want you to at least be able to coordinate,’ so we would pick the outfits so that they would A bit stylish.
“So we’d look at the Brooks Brothers catalog and we’d think, ‘Okay, what should we buy for the kids?’ We couldn’t afford it, so we’d go to the thrift store and buy whatever we could find that looked similar. thing.
