Earlier this month, Joy-Anna Duggar welcomed her third child, a boy for whom she selected the name Gunner, much like Duggar.
It may be a while before Young Gunner is able to handle a firearm, but his name is a clear reflection of the Duggar family’s love of all things guns.
Regardless, Joy seems to love life as a mother of three and has been posting frequent updates about her new bundle of joy.
But she hasn’t forgotten about her other children, of course, and Joy’s latest post highlighted her daughter, Evelyn.
“Dancing hay today,” Joy captioned the photo above.
“The children were able to drive the tractors and learned the process of storing hay for the winter.”
Joy also shared a photo of Gunner, who apparently joined her to watch the proceedings.
Now, the whole afternoon seems perfectly innocent and wholesome, but shaming Duggar moms is one of the internet’s favorite pastimes, so commenters were quick to roast Joy’s parenting decisions.
“Shouldn’t you be home out of the hot sun with a newborn baby[?]asked a person according british tabloid Sun.
“Kids are adorable, but going barefoot on a tractor and on a farm is a recipe for big trouble. Take it from someone who grew up in a farm field,” added another.
“The girl needs shoes when she is near farm equipment, please be careful! Nice pictures with dad,” a third chimed in.
Fortunately, Joy has been a Duggar her entire life, so she’s probably used to pointless criticism of everything she does.
As for Gunner’s name, it seems to have been a last second decision.
A few weeks before the boy’s birth, Joy indicated that she was leaning towards calling him James as a tribute to Austin’s late grandfather.
“Just to give you a sneak peek, we are definitely using James as a first name or a middle name. I’m thinking he’ll probably be used as a middle name,” Joy wrote in response to a fan’s question,
“Austin’s dad passed away a few years ago, and he told him before he passed that our next child would have ‘James’ in him. He agreed that we would do that.
“We’re going to have James mixed in somewhere,” he continued.
“His name was Edwin James Forsyth, and it was about using his name and honoring him in that way.”
In the end, they went with James as their middle name, so they’re still paying homage to Austin’s grandfather.
And if he were alive, he’d probably be thankful Joy and Austin didn’t name their son Edwin.
It’s bad enough there’s a boy named Spurgeon in this family!
