Anna Duggar returns to social media, draws mixed reactions from fans

After two years on a social media hiatus, "19 Kids and Counting" star Anna Duggar decided to return and post about her two young boys, Michael and Marcus.

In the photo collage posted on Instagram (@annaduggar), the two boys were on top of the counter and were playing with oranges. "Usually my boys are playing with blocks, hot wheels, and nerf guns. Sometimes they decide to get creative 'toys' — stack 'em and then snack 'em! #creativity," she wrote.

Most of the comments made by netizens applauded her return to social media. "Adorable! Anna I'm so happy you are back on Instagram!" a fan wrote. "I missed you Anna! Love seeing the kiddos! Thanks for posting," commented another.

However, there were some who criticized her parenting skills since she allowed the boys to play on countertops. "People usually don't allow kids play on countertops because of safety issues. But whatever, she has 3 more kids if these two will fall down and break something," an Instagram user wrote.

On the other hand, there were some who recalled the past transgressions of Anna's husband Josh, who was implicated years earlier for molesting several underage girls and using the cheating website, Ashley Madison.

"I don't see your little girls in the pictures. I hope someone besides your cheating, molesting husband is watching them," an angry netizen commented, referring to her daughters Mackynzie and Meredith.

In another post, Anna shared a photo of her youngest son Mason. "#Mason is ready for the great outdoors!" she captioned it.

Once again, fans expressed their excitement over her comeback. "I love that [you're] back. I've missed you and your cute Family!" one person wrote.

"He's so cute!! Praying for your family. I love seeing what God has done for you ALL!! With God I truly believe ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!" another weighed in.
