Oh AJA, can I tweet this to this douchbag. I'll tell him it's from a friend! :)

Now wonder why Jilly Muffin was there all.the.time.lol Yep. We got the wooden spoon as kids, not much and it wasn't a beating. We were all born in the 60's, raised in the 70's..different times. I do gringe at the thought of either Izzy or Sam getting the spoon as I would think it would be more of a beating than a smack..That Bible reading video where Derick tells Izzy he wasn't done with the question made my blood boil. Would it be bad if I took a wooden spoon and beat the crap out of Dullard? Hate this family..

Lauren Ash tweeted that she couldn't believe she could kick them so far and even broke a light..lol She also said the reindeer was an adorable dream. Loved this episode so much. I was laughing so hard when they took the scooter carts. I loved that whole scene, especially Dina trying to be mean while liking the coffee. I actually got some goosebumps, they were truly amazing!

I would be embarrassed dressing like they do after seeing how the rest of his family dresses. I can't even imagine what that household is like or what those two idiots talk about all day. I can't fathom talking about nothing but religion all day. I really feel bad for those kids.

I just can't deal with Will's screaming and there was a lot of it this episode. He reminds me of a child I watched who was like that. Every year I watched him, on his birthday I thought, "Oh he won't be like this anymore". Wrong, he was still like that after I was done watching him(watched him for 4 years). Of course he grew out of it as he's now in college. I do believe he was told by a teacher he had ADHD. I never watched him long enough to know if he did have it or if his parents did anything about it. Yet another disaster outing with the chocolate shop. I'm sorry, but at 7, Will shouldn't have done what he did. There is a problem that he doesn't listen to what he should be doing, he just pours it out all over. I know many 7 year olds that would've done what was told and would've been taken out of the situation had they done what Will did. Yes, it was probably a staged birthday party because I'm pretty sure Will didn't pick that activity, but still no excuse for his behavior. I'm beginning to agree with many on here that so much of this show could be staged, I don't know what's real and what's not. Did the producer tell Will to pour all the cheese out? I don't know, but if it were my kid, I would not have agreed to that. Again, another situation that Will should've known better. Zoey was told not to do that and then he went and did it. It's getting harder and harder to watch when I don't know what is being fed from the producer and what is being edtied. I know someone up thread noticed that Bill and Jen were listed as producers which doesn't help the Will situation either if they are encouraging the behavior.

I have to agree here. It does look very out of place next to the other houses. Granted, they didn't build it, but still. I also question why they need such a large home. I'm not saying they don't deserve it, they work hard, but it just seems so much for a little people family. I know they have large families and I don't know if they all stay there when they visit, but I'm sure they would be ok with staying in a hotel too if need be. I don't question how they clean it as I'm sure they have a cleaning service and probably did in Houston too. I always wondered why they built that mansion in Houston as well. I don't expect them to be in a tiny ranch by any means, but this just seems so over the top.

It's is awesome to see! I wonder if dumb Derick has said anything to them about a boy playing with a doll house? I'm sure that will never go to the Dullard's if they never have a girl. The boys are adorable and they do look happy and healthy. I would love for them to be done having kids. They live in a small home that seems to work for them right now and they won't have any girls. Though I would be curious if they had a girl, if Jessa would make her a J'slave? I'm pretty sure Jill would, but not sure about Jessa. Speaking of the small house. With the Dullard's out of the big house, is anyone in it? Could Benessa move into it if they had more kids? I'm not sure how big it is or how many bedrooms it has.

YES! I know parents like this and drives me nuts! I've always noticed this with Jen, way way too many words. Also, why in the hell are Will and Zoey being told not to color on the walls???? They are 6 and 5, it shouldn't even be a discussion! Their lack of discipline has caught up with them and it's only going to get worse. I think it's going to be Will that it will continue to backfire on the most, especially after the "Yes I am" moment. I can hear him saying just those words when he's told he can't take the car out when he's driving. I think Jen tries way too hard and I picture her reading all these books and thinking, "I'll try this and that" and then as we say, she uses a billion words and it just doesn't work. One shouldn't need a book to learn how to discipline their kids. Don't get me started on Will's screaming either, it happens way too often and should be put under control. Bill just said something like, "Whoa, what is that?" Anyone else catch Bill saying to Will, "thumb" when Will started sucking his thumb at one point? I wonder if they are ever going to get that under control too?

Thank you and Happy Birthday to you! What a wonderful surprise from your granddaughter! That beats a mushy novel for all of social media to see! Benessa could take a lesson from the wonderful birthday you had!

If anyone needs to jump start a vomit, reading that will do it.. I can only imagine how many eyerolls I would get if I wrote something like that for Mr. M's birthday tomorrow..

Will's TH where he states how he loves candy and repeats his love of sugar, speaks volumes. I would like to see what he would be like if they cut out candy and sugar from his diet. The fact they constantly have suckers in their mouths whenever they are somewhere that they are expected to maybe be quiet or follow instructions bugs me to no end. My mother never took special orders and she was a stay at home mom at the time. She had all the time in the world to make special breakfasts, but didn't. She usually had the cereal we had on the table or she she would make oatmeal(this was back in the late 70's). Their meal times drive me batty! In my house, that would've been the last time he saw that toy for at least a month! Will is very aggressive with his toys and I hope off camera he gets punished for it. I know they have the money, but those kids have way too many toys. As Tikichick stated above, Will has a very long road to go..

He disagrees 95% what Izzy suggests or does??? What the ever lovin' fuck is that??? The kid is 2! I can't imagine what this dumbfuck says to Izzy when he doesn't agee with him. What is he going to be like with Izzy and Sam when they are teenagers? This sorry excuse for a "man" has just pissed me off to know end with his endless tweets. If there is something anyone would like to have tweeted at his rants, I'll be glad to to do it! Also, if you all would bail me out, I will gladly go down there and punch the fuck out of this complete asshole! By the way, newbie here. Been reading every page since Twop. I've only seen the 14 kids special and Jill's wedding. I just can't bring myself to watch this horrible family, so thanks to all who do and for bringing some of the best snark I have ever read! You have all made me laugh out loud more than you will ever know..

I wondered if his brother actually died too. I know we saw some tags in the drawer, but we don't know if they were his brother's or Jack's. Nicky could've been seriously injured and be taken care of somewhere. Or maybe Nickt became an addict like their dad and Jack wasn't going to be a part of it. When Nicky popped up in the backseat, I was floored, but I'm really looking forward to knowing the story. Not sure how I'm feeling about the whole Kevin addiction story. I figured if any of them were to get an addiction, it would be him. When Kate mentioned after he hurt his knee that he had to be careful, was it because he was addicted to pain killers when he hurt his knee before or was she telling him he had to be careful for the knee itself? I wonder if it goes back to when he had the cast on when he was in high school or if was something that happened later on. I also hope, that now Kate seems happier about being pregnant, that she stays that way and isn't a mope fest through it all or it will be a very long 9 months, if nothing happens and she actually has the baby. I'm curious about what Rebecca's reaction will be when they finally tell her. Next weeks look interesting, I wonder about Kate's "boyfriend" and if he'll play a role in the near future.

AMEN! Her constant picture taking drives me nuts! I was saying the same thing, "she doesn't want to try the dress on, give it up!" Why must she try so hard to get them to do things after they say they don't want to? I understand having them try to do certain things, but it was a freaking dress for dress up! Just bugs to know end.. I felt bad for whoever had to clean it up AND Zoey. Maybe the men couldn't decorate as well, but they didn't try much and just played dumb. So they decide to egg on Will to start the cupcake war. Clearly, it upset Zoey where she was yelling at them to stop and it was her party, she was 100% right, Bill made it about them being to clueless to decorate a small cupcake. I didn't find it funny and really felt bad for Zoey. I've been around plenty of children who didn't like to get messy. I knew of one who wouldn't do art projects that involved glue because if one drop got on their fingers, they couldn't stand it(they were around Zoey's age). So for Zoey to get upset about that, didn't bother me and it shouldn't have been done. Sometimes I think Bill(and Jen sometimes)try to be friends with their kids more than parents. Bill for sure needs to mature up a little, you wanna a "food fight" then do it in your own house, not at your daughters birthday party.

Zoey cracked me up this episode. I laughed so hard when she was trying to hold in her poop..lol When they asked her if she had had an accident and she said, "I don't feel an accident" a couple of times, I died laughing. Then saying she would try to hold it in, so funny! I could listen to her talk all day. The cake scenes made me cringe. Will for sure should know by now that you don't lick a spoon and then spread frosting with it. Since Bill said more than once that he's made cakes with them and knows not to eat it after, shows to me that he has never taught either of them to not do that. I find Zoey to be a little more mature than Will and at 4 and should know not to do that too. I agree with the person though that said she was following Will through much of the cake baking. When he did it, she did it. Jen's mom told him not to do that after the first time and after the second time, she should've taken the bowl away. I'm also with those that were bothered with Will rubbing Nathan's head over and over. When she was explaining about the soft spot, she should've been removing his hand from his hand. Again, I think Jen talks to much when explaining stuff and loses Will's attention quickly. He was cute though with how much he seemed to love Nathan. I liked watching him help make the bottle and how he just watched him drink it. Zoey was too funny with being so much more interested in the dogs than the baby..lol It was a good episode overall, not so much running around and screaming and from what we saw, they were pretty well behaved in church, suckers and all..lol

I had lazy eye when I was a kid and I found that scene absolutely hilarious!I wonder how many takes that scene took? No way they did that in one take, they all had to been laughing so hard. Great episode!

Exactly what I was saying. We don't know what they edit out or how they are off camera. I often wonder when they are running around not listening, then the camera cuts and it's another scene, if they turn them off and they get scolded..lol They are adorable children and I love watching them and listening to them talk, I just want to yell sometimes, "stop running and listen to your mother/father!" LOL!

The basketball player, he was laying over them. I found it hilarious! Found this episode to be really funny! When Lois asked in a text hamburgers or meatballs for dinner and Stewie said, "bitch, there the exact same thing, just different shapes", I couldn't stop laughing.

You know, it just dawned on me that the last child I watched is 7 and in 2nd grade. I don't think I thought about it because she is far beyond Will in behavior, school and maturity. I believe that Will is behind in these things and I would expect it the way he was probably treated in the orphanage. I also agree with those that said both he and Zoey have come a long way from when they were first adopted, Zoey especially. Since Bill and Jen have the means to put them in the right schools with the right help, I tend to believe they are. I can't say what their life is like off camera, but what we seem to see the most is Will running around like a maniac and not listening much to either Bill or Jen and both of them repeatedly asking him to do something. Maybe off camera, they scold more and use more of a stern voice to them, who knows. I know there were many times I had to get to stern with a child I watched for something they did. Sometimes I found what they did/said funny, but knew it wasn't appropriate. I would scold and then run in another room where they couldn't see me and laugh. I tend to believe that Will will someday grow out of it, I like to hope we'll see both he and Zoey when they are much older and what they have become. I don't doubt that either child is smart and yes at sometimes down right hilarious. I do love this show and have from the beginning. I just grew up in a different time where we were punished so sometimes it grates on me when I see them getting away with something they shouldn't.

In the tornado episode, he had his first line at the end, "Oh shit". So so happy he's back! When Amy said they emailed the wrong Brett, all I could think was that my husband's company would so do the same thing. Love this show!

Newbie to the forums here. I have followed though since the show started and on Twop. Love reading everyone's posts! First let me start by saying that Mr.M and I never had children, though I worked with kids for 30 years starting when I was 16 with my first job in a daycare. The way Will and Zoey behave drives me batty, BUT I put full blame on Jen and Bill, Jen more. First, as many stated, this trip was not a trip for kids. However, they are old enough that they should be able to behave for a little awhile. Either that or have them stay back at the hotel with someone. My siblings and I didn't always like going places that my parents went to, but when we had to go, we behaved because we knew what would happen if we didn't. I know everyone raises kids differently and it's soooooo much different from when I was raised. It just drives me nuts when they misbehave and nothing is ever done about it, though again, editing could come in play. Maybe they do punish them, but don't want that aired. Seeing that they are producers, it baffles me that they put what they do out there. As far as the bribes for pictures, constantly hearing Jen or Bill's dad asking them to turn around or smile drove me nuts. I've taken a lot of pictures of the kids I watched for their parents and never did I have to bribe them. How many pictures do you think they took while on this trip? Kids don't want a thousand pictures taken. Even I knew my limit when taking pictures. If you have to start bribing them, you've taken too many. I would love to know how they behave in school. Since Will stated "burps" were his favorite thing in school, it really makes me wonder. As much as I love children and have massive amounts of patience with them, I think spending one day in their house would be too much for me. Again, I think it would be Jen just as much as the kids. With her constantly asking them over and over to do something or if they want something, I wouldn't be able to NOT interfere..lol

I forgot that they had that he had that she did stay over at the end of the show and I love those extras! lol.. I always look so forward to those, this is by far one of my favorite shows being an 80's child...

It actually did happen to Adam in real life. Real Adam and real Bev are most awesome on Twitter.. Adam F. Goldberg‏Verified account @adamfgoldberg 17h17 hours ago It's 100% true that my mom used "bad night vision" as an excuse to sleep over on my first Saturday night of college.
