Media outlets have been keeping a track of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar for quite some time now. The couple, along with its huge family garnered huge popularity and with their older kids grabbing all the fans' attention now, it looks like a radical overhaul is just around the corner.
Jinger Duggar has shifted to Los Angeles, Jessa Duggar is best known for sharing her parenting tips on her YouTube channel, while Jill Duggar has already moved out of the family, and so on. When it comes to the younger members of the family, fans are likely to have a hard time telling them apart. Some family critics go as far as claiming that even Michelle tends to forget who's who.
The Duggar family recently shared a birthday tribute to their son Jackson on Instagram and fans began hazarding all sorts of speculations. Michelle and Jim Bob parenting 19 kids is nothing short of a miracle and it is no secret that the older kids in the family lend helping hands when it came to doing household chores and schoolwork for their younger siblings.
Aside from that, Michelle ensured all her children helped out with mealtime. She even seemed to have a formula for their birthdays. Given that the Duggar family celebrates a lot of birthdays, it is hardly surprising that all of the kids get the Chocolate Mess as their birthday treat.
Available at the Marketplace Grill, the Chocolate Mess is a sundae covered in whipped cream and hot fudge, and it comes in a glass that's dipped in chocolate. It is delicious, but there is another reason why Jim Bob and Michelle take their kids to get it on their birthdays. According to a Showbiz CheatSheet report, the reason why the couple takes all their kid to the Marketplace Grill is that the Chocolate Mess is free on birthdays.
As part of another tradition, every time the Duggar kids visit the Marketplace Grill to get their Chocolate Mess, a picture is posted to the family's Instagram. The Duggar Family Instagram account has a reputation for posting sweet messages for each kid's birthday. Keeping in line with that, Jackson Duggar recently turned 16 years old.
Family critics believe their birthday posts follow a specific formula. Some Redditors poked fun at Jackson’s birthday post, claiming Michelle doesn't even know some of her younger kids. A Reddit user said it seems like Jana is the one who makes the cake, reminds her whose birthday it is, and tells her to not forget about posting on Instagram. According to the user, the text is saved and all she does is to fill in details such as boy/girl and make other minor changes.
