Isn't he about a year and a half old? What took them so long? The evangelical families I knew growing up "dedicated" their kids when they were a few months old or younger. The non-bible-beating Christians baptized at around the same age. I was baptized at three months old (ELCA Lutheran sprinkling, which clearly did not take), and I was told my grandparents were unhappy it took so long! My grandparents must have known something about me that nobody else did.

No. "Quadriplegia is a pattern of paralysis — which is when you can’t deliberately control or move your muscles — that can affect a person from the neck down. Depending on how and why it happens, it can affect your ability to move parts of your body, as well as some of your body’s automatic processes that keep you alive." https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/23974-quadriplegia-tetraplegia Also, "Incomplete quadriplegia. This means that the quadriplegia blocks some — but not all — signals from getting through. That means a person might still have some ability to move, feel sensations or control automatic body processes (such as bowel and bladder function). This happens with about one-third of traumatic spinal cord injuries. Complete quadriplegia. This means whatever causes the quadriplegia blocks all signals from getting through. That means a person loses muscle control, the ability to feel sensations and their brain can’t manage any automatic processes that rely on brain signaling to work. This happens with about 20% of spinal cord injuries." (same source) I had an uncle who had quadriplegia from a herniated disc in his neck (his wife said at the C1 level). He could feed himself using special cutlery, and he could take the top off his Pepsi bottle if it was loose, but he could not turn himself over in bed or take care of his own toileting. He could not walk, and I don't think he could propel his own wheelchair. Topic: Jill is tone-deaf like no other.

That kid is going to turn out as materialist and poseur-y as the Biermann kids. If her parents don't go bankrupt and end up living with Granny and Gramps Stew first. -

Along with Climax, Michigan; Paradise, Michigan, and my personal favorite, Hell, Michigan. Topic: @AstridM is right. That country, aw-shucks crap is largely performative. These people own multiple planes, FFS. -
Jeremiah & Hannah: Done Counting and Done Caring

Have they said the next spawn is female? If so, Brianne is my guess, after Jill Rod's coulda-been daughter-in-law. Who cares if it sounds similar to the first two kids' names -- this is a family where the names mostly sound alike anyway. -
My aunt did ABCD. One of her daughters did ABCDEF. Neither of them intended to have that many children -- I don't think it's in any way exclusive to people who plan to have lots of kids. Neither is Catholic, fundie, or religious. My aunt has been married five times and counting. Her daughter has never been married. I hope Josiah and Lauren are happy together.

The first question would be why a toddler was playing with a $500 ring at all. These people have the intellectual capacity of a stuffed animal. -
It's probably more like Mommy and Daddy Clark and their cult church paid for it.

If they're hoping for an inheritance from her grandfather, they need to pull their heads out. There are 20+ other grandkids, plus their parents. I doubt Bill and Jane would leave the Paines any significant amount just because Chad and Erin are pathetic. I have wondered if Chad is like so many arrogant bible-thumper men and thinks he's just too good to work for someone else -- someone who might turn out to be a woman giving him orders. My uncle is a lot like Chad, and he quit a lot of jobs during his working life because he wouldn't take orders from people he thought were beneath him.

Rumored where? Anybody can make something up and post it on Reddit.

No, they've only been there a year. Isn't that stupid? Get a real job, Chad. Get a job, Erin. Stop having more children you can't afford.

I've been getting iron infusions for four years. It takes time to book an appointment with the hematologist, time to go to the lab for bloodwork, time to see the hematologist, time to schedule the infusion appointment, time to wait for insurance to approve it, time to go to the infusion appointment. It's a legit need. And here dipshit is getting an IV for no reason but performative, after her latest performative vacation. No big deal to her because she doesn't have a job or even pretend to have one. I'm really maxed out on "influencer" trash. That entire concept needs to just go away. So do Carlin's duck lips. -
