As usual you guys are not only a source of much needed laughs but also useful information. Thank you. On topic, glad JD&A are mostly keeping to themselves. There’s zero chance of there being another show so they are no longer indentured servants to filming. Working for JB may be a different story.

Jill used the word cult, good for her. Dillon describing himself as emotional support husband cracked me up. Also his reaction to Michelle’s baby voice. Tampons = devil sticks in IBLP and are confiscated. WTAF He picked you to marry his most beautiful and intelligent daughter. Fucking evil whoever sent that awful text to Derick. Had Jessa married first would she have been JB’s most beautiful and intelligent daughter?

Someone who was willing to take a swipe at a sexual assault victim.

Because handling sexual assault in private really worked out so well for the family. Im confused about the timeline. Derick said they were engaged when the sexual assault was made public. I thought during the MK interview they were married and had Israel.

Found it! Smart to open with Jill.

I’m in CA and it’s not there. 🧐

East or West coast?

I understand the Bates kidults trauma from food and financial insecurity. It’s why they are on SM shilling whatever they can get their hands on. But it’s plain stupid for Josie to announce she’s home alone with the girls daily. They can’t be paying them that much to jeopardize their safety. Way to go KJ&G!

Perhaps from the other no longer IBLP interviews.

What Jed Boy does not understand due to his willful ignorance is that there is plenty out there about their family. He’s right though that we don’t know everything about them. I’m sure the remaining skeletons are more horrific than what is out there. JB has shown who he is and a lot of us believed him the first time. Jed is as thin skinned as his equally misogynistic father. He’s in for a world of hurt when more facts come out.

FWIW, the yearly vacation has been happening since before Travis was born. I can see them opting to go. I wouldn’t but I’ve always been very independent and won’t allow emotional blackmail. Even when I was their age. K&T are young, inexperienced, and completely enmeshed with the Clarks. Does anyone know if Kayla and family are there?

Jed! is a world class moron. He was bragging about a hack he learned from Josiah, power washing Truett’s carseat/stroller, and will be using it with Nora. He and Katey bragged how they trashed it during their Italy and Israel trip. Power washing a carseat compromises the integrity of the straps. That is no longer a safe carseat, you single digit IQ yahoo. Next time do regular maintenance on the carseats and all baby equipment.

Abbie is shilling a planner on IG. Who the heck uses those nowadays?

Done, it’s been shilled. Katie said they didn’t stay too long at the beach because they had to bring Hailey back to the house for a nap. Also that she’s trying to keep Hailey on a pretty good schedule due to her teething. From the mouth of a Bates 😱. No letting Hailey drop in her stroller wherever they are flitting around. I think C&E are going to lose their woohoo party couple if K&T are committed to keep their child on a schedule, and send her to the unaccredited school. Because even if unaccredited Katie is going to have to get Hailey to school on time. Hope they keep it up.

I thought Katey’s dad chose Jed! Something about him writing about his belief in that type of marriage?

That makes me doubt it was free.

THIS. The same way the Rollofs, Jon and Kate, The Willis Clan, and Sister Wives all looked hunky dory before things unraveled. It’s what people do. Happy, shiny people indeed.

I think Jed said the induction was scheduled for the day after her due date.

I don’t think that’s what they are looking for with the docuseries and book. Derick would have to be very stupid to go that route, and while no genius, he seems to be intelligent enough to get two degrees and pass the bar.

And yet he chose to breed irresponsibly causing food and financial instability for his family until TLC came along.

Katie said the entire extended Clark family attends the yearly vacation. That would leave Travis and Katie alone with a baby if she has to go to the hospital. I would have stayed home but I’m used to not have anyone but SBaba when I need help. They are young and probably nervous about Travis juggling Hailey’s and Katey’s needs if Katey’s condition worsens. Travis mom had a scary accident in Mexico and it didn’t stop her from getting proper medical care. I’ll give them a pass because I think Katey will be well cared for, albeit in miserable pain.

She’s being induced today, I think.

One of the brothers is alleged to be good at carpentry, can’t remember which one. Tim will probably have help getting the house reasonably ready for a family. As long as they keep DBD away from any electrical work they should be OK.

Katey’s mom must have a really flexible work schedule. She lives in CA, stayed with Truett while they went to Hawaii, and now is taking care of him while they are in the hospital. You have to be close to your mom to do that. It’s good to see the cult didn’t break that relationship. Like @auntieminem I’m curious as to why she chose to live with her father.

Jed, like FF and Jessa, is completely dependent on JB financially. He lives in a house owned by his parents, and “works” at a car lot provided by his parents. Like FF he is an absolute failure to launch by design. Of course he’s going to be a little bitch and side with his equally misogynistic, thieve of a father. But trolling his sister’s IG to throw hissy fits shows how immature, entitled, and willfully ignorant he is.
