The Duggar family, star of the TLC show 19 Kids And Counting, fascinated reality TV audiences for nearly seven years. As the years went on, we watched parents Jim Bob and Michelle welcome new additions to the family, saw the older children start families of their own, and learned how on earth a family with twenty-one people lives their day-to-day lives.

Of course, we also saw the abrupt end of the show when eldest son Josh was accused of sexually assaulting his own sisters many years before.

With the exception of the disgraced oldest child, fascination with the Duggars continues to this day. Fans of the show still follow the family ' lives, and since most major milestones are still on TV screens (or at least phone screens when it comes to social media), it can be easy to think that you know everything about the famous family. However, there are still some secrets that even the biggest fans don't know.

Curious? Read on to find out the 16 Things You Didn't Know About The Duggars. 

Jana and Jessa fight all the time

There’s usually friction between even the closest sisters -- that’s nothing new. Sisters have been fighting since the dawn of time. The only reason that Jana and Jessa’s feuds get attention is because they play out on television and social media.

In their memoir Growing Up Duggar: It’s All About Relationships, Jana talks about how she and Jessa butted heads because Jessa liked to challenge her older sister’s authority.

Jana, for her part, has said that she had a bit of a strong personality and liked to boss her younger siblings around.

As adults, it seems like most of their feuding happens in private -- unlike Jill and Jessa, who have a habit of following and unfollowing the other on Instagram and Twitter.

They can’t text their significant others

The rise of smartphones has made dating so much easier for every kid with an overprotective parent. No more worrying about Mom overhearing your phone calls, or even reading your texts -- just send every message through Snapchat and you’re covered.

The Duggar kids can forget about this, though. They aren’t allowed to text any significant other if they’re not married, and if they do, Jim Bob and Michelle need to be included in the text conversation. It’s basically like a chaperoned meeting, only taking place on an iPhone instead of in a living room.

This way, the Duggar parents can make sure that their children aren’t being tempted with anything immoral, and any significant other will be sure to be on their best behavior when texting a Duggar child.

Josh Duggar catfished women

Josh Duggar’s two scandals are pretty well-known by now: not only was he exposed for molesting his sisters when all of them were children, but he also regularly cheated on his wife, with whom he has multiple children.

Both of those things are gross enough, but apparently the oldest Duggar took it to the next level of damaging decisions. Not only did he have an on Ashley Madison to seek out relationships outside of his marriage, but he catfished women with other men’s pictures.

One man, a DJ in California, is suing Josh for damages and defamation. Josh Duggar recently demanded that the suit be tossed, but it remains to be seen whether or not he’ll get his way.

There are technically 20 Duggar children

Yes, the show is 19 Kids And Counting, and yes, the Duggars only have nineteen biological children. However, Jim Bob and Michelle adopted their twentieth child, Tyler, back in November of 2016.

Before you think that you somehow missed the Duggars adopting a child like Brad and Angelina did, Tyler was already part of the family. He’s Michelle’s great-nephew, and they were granted temporary guardianship of him two months before the adoption was made official.

His birth mother had him as a teenager and wasn’t able to him, and his first guardian unfortunately suffered a stroke. With no stable environment for Tyler, Jim Bob and Michelle stepped in. His birth mom still visits him, though, and remains in his life.

Jinger is the wild child

Granted, being branded a wild child in the Duggar household is much easier than it would be in most families. The kids don’t have to lie to their parents or stay out late -- they just have to break one of the many rules. It seems like once Jinger got married and moved out of her parents’ house, she decided to start pushing limits.

One of the Duggars’ biggest modesty rules for their daughters is that they’re required to wear either dresses or skirts that are at least knee-length in public, and pants or shorts are strictly forbidden. This is meant to keep the daughters from accidentally tempting men when they’re just out and about.

Jinger has been photographed wearing pants and shorts multiple times, though, so she’s clearly decided that rule is not for her.

The oldest daughter isn’t married

Since two of the older Duggar daughters are already married with children, it’s easy for casual viewers of the show (or people who don’t really keep up with it at all) to think that all of the oldest children are married. The Duggar children are also encouraged to walk down the aisle young and start having children.

However, oldest daughter Jana is “still” not married at 27. She’s been the subject of some dating... uh, courtship rumors, but for the most part she seems to be happy doing her own thing.

She’s a trained midwife and has even worked as a volunteer firefighter near their hometown when she’s not helping to take care of her younger siblings or nieces and nephews. You go, Jana.

The crew of 19 Kids And Counting have nothing but good things to say

Whenever a family is thrust into the national spotlight on a reality TV show, it’s only a matter of time before people start trying to dig up negative things about them. One of the first sources for this is the crew of the reality TV show, since they’re with the family all the time.

The crew of 19 Kids And Counting has nothing but good things to say about the Duggars, though, and have praised Jim Bob and Michelle for how patient they’re able to stay even with nineteen children.

The kids see the of the crew as extra aunts and uncles, while crew have been known to help out with chores around the house or pick up extra diapers.

Jim Bob and Michelle formerly used birth control

The Duggars are famous for their belief that using birth control is a sin. (After all, you certainly don’t have nineteen kids with birth control.) They believe that pregnancies are a gift from God that shouldn’t be blocked by any means, so birth control is out.

However, what a lot of people don’t know is that early on in their marriage, they actually did use birth control. They didn’t start trying to have kids until they’d been married for a few years and were established financially, which makes perfect sense.

After Michelle sadly miscarried, though, the Duggars went to a doctor who told them (incorrectly) that birth control would let people conceive and then abort the pregnancy. They promptly stopped using any form of birth control.

The kids have their own spinoff show

Although 19 Kids And Counting has been off the air for a few years now, die-hard Duggar fans know that you can still catch the family on Counting On.

Although at first it was Jill and Jessa: Counting On, to follow the first two daughters who got hitched, the title was changed to accommodate the other adult Duggar children who make appearances on the show.

The show focuses on the oldest Duggar children so that fans can follow them through their life milestones -- marriages, children, and all the trials and tribulations that come with just being an adult in general.

Notably absent, of course, is Josh Duggar, who was the main reason that the family’s first TV show was canceled. Although Counting On hasn’t been as popular as 19KAC, it still has a sizeable following.

They’re against plastic surgery

You could probably assume this safely given the Duggars’ more conservative values, but the Duggar daughters have gone on record as saying that they’re against plastic surgery.

Although it’s not exactly a sin -- after all, there’s not anything about plastic surgery in the Bible -- they believe that it goes against God’s plan for your body and is immoral.

Features like your nose, lips, and breasts are meant to be unchangeable since God designed your body that way. If you decide to go under the knife anyway, though, they think it’s best that you pray before you hop onto the operating table.

It’s not clear what counts as immorally altering your body and what’s totally fine, since the Duggar girls are allowed to pierce their ears.
