It’s Not the Same Anymore: Jinger Duggar Says Going Back Home Feels ‘WILD’ — What’s Really Happening at the Duggar House?

Since 19 Kids and Counting ended, Jinger Duggar has taken a new direction in life. Duggar News followers admire her for speaking out honestly about her brother Josh Duggar’s crimes. They also praise her for building a healthier, quieter life far from her childhood home. Fans saw her wedding to Jeremy on Counting On. The couple moved to Los Angeles as Jeremy had to pursue graduate studies.

He did so at the Master’s Seminary, i.e., affiliated with Grace Community Church. Jinger is now settled in Los Angeles with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, and their children. Hence, living so far from Arkansas means she doesn’t see her family very often. She usually visits only during major events, such as Christmas or other special occasions. She recently talked about her experience of visiting Arkansas again and called it “wild.”

Duggar News: Jinger Duggar Reveals Why The Family Doesn’t Visit Her & Jeremy In Los Angeles

Duggar News followers know that in a recent episode of The Jinger and Jeremy Podcast, the couple talked about a recent trip to visit her family in Arkansas. Jeremy, being a former professional soccer player, used the words “logistical burden” to expect all the Duggars to travel to California. That’s why the couple, with their two daughters and a third baby on their way, made the trip to Arkansas instead. It was before she had her son Finnegan.

Jinger said the visit to Arkansas was very special and came at the perfect time for their growing family. She gave birth to their third child in March 2025. Looking back, she wished they had planned the trip better so they could have more time with everyone. However, the family tried to make the most of what they had. But during a moment in the podcast, she also called the experience “wild.” Why did she say so?

Duggar News: Jinger Says Visiting Home Is “Wild” For Her Now! What Made Her Say So?

While talking about her recent trip to Arkansas, she said that although the visit was amazing, Jinger admitted it was also overwhelming. The Duggar News star explained that when you live far away and come back, everyone wants to spend time with you. With such a large family, it’s challenging to connect with each person individually during a brief visit. She also talked about how many of her siblings now have their own children.

Hence, it has made it even more difficult to plan get-togethers with everyone. Even a week doesn’t feel like enough time to see and catch up with everyone. When Jinger and her family arrived at her parents’ house, she noticed something unexpected. The house was perfectly clean, which surprised her because it used to be messy with so many little kids running around. Now, only about five of her siblings live there, and most of them are older.

She mentioned that the youngest Duggar kid, Josie, is now 15, which felt strange to her. Seeing the house quieter and more organized was a clear sign of how much things have changed. It reminded her that this is a very different season of life for her family. Hence, visiting her parents was an incredibly “wild experience for her.”
