What did fans say about Joy Duggar’s post?
Well, fans were quick to realize that Joy Duggar’s son, Gideon, was celebrating his first birthday this weekend. They began to wonder why his parents wouldn’t be in town for his birthday.
Some of the fans were rude and began shaming Joy Duggar for “missing” her son’s birthday. Other fans were more confused than mean and just asked if it was Gideon’s birthday.
One fan says that the couple “could have chosen any other weekend for a getaway”. While this is true, they were going on a specific retreat, which is probably only offered once per year.
Once Joy Duggar noticed all the hate she was getting, she decided to explain herself. She said, “We’ve only gotten to spend a couple of days away and will be able to celebrate Gideon’s 1st birthday with him when we get home this evening!!”

When Jessa Duggar saw what people were saying about her sister, Joy Duggar, she jumped in.
In her response, Jessa Duggar says:
“All these people acting like you wouldn’t remember it’s the 1 year anniversary of the most physically exhausting and simultaneously most joyous day of your life. Really?? Girl, I know y’all are heading back to celebrate Gideon’s bday, but seriously, even if you did stay away one more day it’s not like he’d know you were celebrating late.”
