Well, its official, AmyDuggar doesnt want to be associated with the Duggar family any longer. Fanshave long suspected that cousin Amy has been slowly removing herself from theinner workings of the Duggar clan ever since MaryDuggar, the famed grandmother of 20 children, passed away unexpectedly inJune 2019. Now, Amy wants to make sure people know that her son, DaxtonRyan, isnt a Duggar, and its created quite the debate on Instagram.

Amy recently took to Instagram to share a photo of her youngson. The themed photo was all about ringing in the New Year, but followersseemed to want to discuss genetics and the Duggar name. One commentercomplimented Amy, claiming her son was beautiful because he was a Duggar. Apparently,Amy couldnt let that one go and reminded the commenter that while sheappreciated the sentiment her son, Daxton, was a King.

Amy married DillonKing in September 2015. Amy promptly changed her name to her husbands lastname. Their first child, Daxton Ryan, was born on Oct. 9, according to People.Since his birth, Amy has been postingalmost nonstop snapshots of the chubby baby, and while fans are absolutelyloving her pictures, they all seem to insist hes a Duggar. Amy wants everyoneto know he is not. Her most recent reminder kicked off a debate about geneticsand lineage.

The second Amy suggested her son was not a Duggar, thefamilys most prominent supporters came crawling out to comment. While manyinsist that he is a Duggar because Amy is a Duggar, their understanding of geneticsseems a little elementary. Yes, technically, Daxton is 25% Duggar because hismother, Amy, is 50% Duggar. Remember, Amy has a father, too. Daxton also shareshalf of his genetics with his father, Dillion. That means this child is not justa Duggar and not only a King.

While fans might be correct that he has Duggar blood, he carrieshis fathers surname, which appears to be what Amy was really trying to pointout. While several fans took it as a sign of disrespect, when you think about it,Duggar fans are actually the ones being disrespectful. Since Amy and Dillon havechosen to give their child the King name, fans should probably respect him aspart of that family.

Amy might be related to the Duggar clan through her mother,Deanna Duggar, but that doesnt mean she wants to be associated with their values.It has been clear, for years, that Amy was raised markedly different from her19 cousins. She was allowed to date, didnt need a chaperone, and while still aChristian, isnt a part of the ultra-conservative Christian ministry the Duggarfamily belongs to. She also was not homeschooled.

While Amy remains friendly with some of her cousins, shedoesnt seem to be particularly interested in being a part of the largerfamily. Back in November 2019, Amyinsisted she knew nothing about the rumored raids on the Duggar property,stating that she had no idea why people would think her aunt and uncle would tellher anything. Fans took the statement to mean that Amy isnt particularly closeto the supersized family.

Likely, shes not, to be honest. Her values dont jive withthe Duggars, and her husband recently investedin a whiskey lounge, a business that is undoubtedly not Duggar approved.Amy is also a business owner herself, meaning she works outside the home,another decision that is verboten in the Duggars social circle. Likely, Amyhas quietly been distancing herself from the large family for years, but a bombshellreason for the rift probably doesnt exist.
