'19 Kids and Counting' eldest daughter Jana Duggar leaving the household?

 Facbook: Duggar Family Official

Aside from expectant mother Jill and newlywed Jessa, one Duggar daughter continues to be in the spotlight —Jana. It isn't only about the Tim Tebow dating rumors, but Jana's fans continue to support her and want her to have a brighter future. 

In October 2014, Radar Online wrote a story about Jana being allegedly mistreated in the Duggar household. The story started when a scene in "19 Kids and Counting" showed her working hard at Jill's wedding while everyone was having a fun time. For the first time, it showed Jana in a different light and many became concerned. 

It seems that parents Jim Bob and Michelle has placed a huge responsibility on her shoulders. As the oldest sister in the brood, she has reportedly been the ultimate babysitter for her 18 siblings, which is why a non-existent love life isn't a surprise.

However, a report from OK! Magazine says that she is moving out and leaving the Duggar household.

"Jana just turned 25, so she knows she needs to get on with her education if she doesn't want to be stuck at her mom and dad's house in Arkansas forever. She told her parents that she was looking at Christian colleges and would be applying soon," the source for OK! said. 

According to Radar Online, Jana is ready to build her own destiny and future, which she can't do if she's stuck babysitting at home. But what purportedly pushed her to make this decision is learning that her parents are looking to have baby number 20, plus sister Jill and sister-in-law Anna expecting to give birth anytime soon. 

Joseph was the first to leave the Duggar household in pursuit of higher education at The Crown College of the Bible in Knoxville, Tennessee. Jana, it seems, wants to follow her brother's steps of studying elsewhere and maybe, finally, meet the right guy for her. According to Inquisitr, she is already looking into a music program at the same college where Joseph is studying. 

There's no certainty to the story that OK! Magazine has released. But if Jana does decide to spread her wings and fly, her fans would definitely support her all the way.
