This is Jeremy’s seminary dude, right? Lovely guy. 🙄 https://relevantmagazine.com/current16/john-macarthur-told-beth-moore-to-go-home-for-having-the-audacity-to-preach-the-gospel-and-help-people/?fbclid=IwAR1se9dZEm_V5pU88IDSW2t7wTrn3XsYzG_6SNoBTIkx3Z2xKRSLeNWDsM4

#newlife #newhome #maryduggar WHAT? Thanks for dying, g’ma, and getting us some free landscaping! Such a strange vibe from someone grieving their grandmother.

Some kids are just more messy than others. My older daughter rarely threw anything on the floor while my younger is quite a bit more messy. I try to prevent what I can, but in a restaurant especially, you can’t always keep everything 100% clean especially if you’re trying to eat yourself. I always use a napkin to clean off the top of the table when we’re done and leave an extra nice tip if the floor has a few crumbs that need to be vacuumed. That’s just common courtesy (so obviously not something I’d expect from the Duggars). My older daughter (who was about 2 at the time) once grabbed a glass Parmesan cheese shaker off the table at a pizza place and dropped it on the floor before I could get it away from her (it broke). The waitress was very nice about it but we left a tip that was half the bill because we were so mortified.

So... Jon is King in the North of the North the Norther North? the Northest North?

When I worked in a hospital with a psych unit, we once had two patients at the same time that thought they were Jesus. I wondered what would happen if they met, but alas it never happened.

I can’t believe they actually walked away from a full price offer (if that was real). I would stipulate that framing was done/walls couldn’t be moved, but let the buyer choose everything else (and I’m sure it would have turned out better than what she did anyway, looking at you glued on doorknobs). She acts like people should be honored to live in her designs rather than what they really like/want. Apparently she thinks of herself as an artist rather than a flipper, lol. Donovan should ditch her post haste, not that he seems much more competent, but at least he has a concept of money. Also, the brick looked much better before she whitewashed it and the door + frame was totally out of place. 1820 French =/= 1880 Chicago. She was standing there looking at the frame in the shop and her little brain was going 18...18...totally the same! + gaudy...perfect! Not.

It's totally worth doing order pickup for a big grocery order if you have young kids. I pay $4.95 (no tip needed) at Kroger and my kids sleep in the backseat while they load it. I also save money, because I use their digital coupons and can compare prices from the comfort of my bed the night before and take as long as I need. Kroger at least also has special coupons for pickup orders only. I can usually cover the cost of pickup with coupons I wouldn't be able to use in store.

Uh, we walk around barefoot at my house all the time. I have two kids under five, four cats, and a very lax cleaning schedule. No one has black feet.

Felicity looks like she's sleeping on a regular bed with a quilt underneath her, not in a crib. Plus you can't really take a photo at that angle of a baby in a crib. I assume Jinger or another adult was in the room monitoring her nap. In a crib, alone, no you would not want headwraps or blankets on the baby.

I wonder if some Kingdom Halls are more lenient than others? My great uncle was a JW convert in the 40s (kept him from being drafted into WWII). He remained a JW until his death and raised all his kids as JWs but none of his kids were strict about it and most have left the religion. One of his daughters was one of my favorite relatives when I was growing up. She was very fun and came to all of our family celebrations, including birthdays and Christmas. We gave each other gifts all the time. She never hid any of that either, and I'm pretty sure she smoked and drank occasionally too. She never acted concerned about other JWs finding out and she went to "the hall" regularly.

I think there are plenty of more worthwhile things to flame Jill and Derick over than potty training. It's one of those things that's dependent to a large extent on the child. My daughter is four, potty trained completely at three years three months, though we tried earlier. In my mom group, several kids have been close to four before being trained and some are still not reliably night trained or dislike pooping on the potty, etc. I'd personally rather Israel not be trained if he's not ready than be punished for something he's not ready for yet.

@LilJen exactly. Two lawyers for the price of one.

By going to a few law classes, Jill can call herself a lawyer in addition to a midwife, dontcha know.

Technically the infant bucket seat is fine until his head is < 1" from the top and he doesn't exceed the weight limit (which is like 30# on most seats these days). He looks okay; a tight fit and heavier than I personally would want to carry around but probably still within the limits of the seat.

Since he's named after William Wallace and William Bradford, why did they not just name him William? ?
