Jill is definitely looking for follower engagement with the almost daily posts, all with links to their book. But she probably does actually need help figuring out what to do with herself and the kids everyday while Derick is at work. She’s used to having another adult around - both her parents were always home - and this is the first time in awhile that Derick is away M-F for most of the day.

100% agree with this. I have long thought that Derick helped get Izzy off to school before he started working full time. With the move, new baby etc etc Jill was probably so overwhelmed that there was no way she could manage to get two kids ready on a timely basis. Duggar time prevails without Derek to assist her.

Meet the Parents: Gil and Kelly Jo Bates
ozziemom replied to Meredith Quill's topic in Bringing Up Bates
Yeah, Kelton does act like a dick but I don’t see John Webster ever cooking for anyone. Or any of the other SIL’s, except for maybe grilling. Low bar, I know. -
Carlin and Evan: But Mostly Carlin!
ozziemom replied to PrincessPurrsALot's topic in Bringing Up Bates
If Evan was any kind of smart, he would not be 100% relying on BSB and SM for their family income. Both Josie and Kelton have businesses that are not relying completely on YouTube or Instagram. They use SM to help their image or have fun. C&E try way too hard on SM and in the long run I’m not seeing this as sustainable. And I don’t see C&E trying to learn anything from J&K. -
But don’t you find Jill sooooo relatable asking her followers for advice? No?

Since Jilldo considers everything part of their ministry, of course they don’t make a profit. Her makeup, hair, jewelry, clothing expenses - she has to look good - part of the ministry! Traveling all over - part of the ministry. Food & decent clothing for the kids, not part of the ministry. I’m sure in her mind, it all makes sense.

JB: I will not allow it

She will probably ignore any response she doesn’t want to reply to.

I think if Katie lived around KJ & Gil there would be a lot of pressure to “leave # of kids to God”.

Carlin and Evan: But Mostly Carlin!

C&E haven’t mentioned potty training in a while so who knows. It does look like Layla has a diaper or pull up on in some of their posts. It seems like they are just ignoring it and are relying on Layla to just train herself??? Carlin already did the SM posts asking for “advice” but I guess no one volunteered to take care of it. -
Plus the Spivey’s go to TFDW’s church so another set of people with the right mindset for Boob. Poor Justin never had a chance or choice.

Yes it looks very uncomfortable for poor Zade. It’s like neither Carlin or Evan has a clue….. -
The Lonely Js Club: Jana, Jason, James, Jackson & Johannah
ozziemom replied to SpaghettiTuesdays's topic in Counting On
She’s responding to posts on James’ Instagram tribute to Boob. She was very active in defending all things Duggar. And it looked like most of the posts were critical of James glorifying Boob and not taking Jill’s side in the Boob v. Dillards drama. Hilaria kept referencing the fact that SHE knew the Duggars and no one posting knew anything. She was on a roll, James must be her new boy toy. -
Since all the Paine kids are homeschooled the siblings are really the only kids they know or interact with. Sure there might be a cousin visiting occasionally or sweet church friends. But I think Carson and new brother will be close just because there aren’t many other options. Pretty soon the Paine girls will be busy doing girl things, ie learning to be moms and no way Carson will be part of that.

It was shocking how KJ acted at Katie’s shower. It’s always all about her and her crying how much they were going to miss Katie was ridiculous. @cereality excellent description of the difference between the way the Bates treat their kids and how the Clark’s do. Based on what we’ve seen of Evan’s family, it seems to be true of them and Carlin.

IIRC John wasn’t too worried about the girls and the pool when they first moved to this house. Something about they were obedient so if told to stay away from the pool, of course they would.

Zach and Whitney: The Constable and the Carhop
ozziemom replied to Meredith Quill's topic in Bringing Up Bates
Yeah, whether it’s a lease car paid by BSB or Z&W, it’s still cash paid out. Even if they try to write off as business expenses (which this vehicle really isn’t) it’s still cash out of pocket. Not very savvy unless BSB is very profitable. Tax write offs only help if there’s income to offset. I imagine the profit margins are pretty slim but I doubt any of them actually know this. -
I think we speculated that the anniversary trip or baby moon or whatever trips they took, were gifted by her father. The trip to Israel seemed to be a church related trip so Boob may have partially funded that, a bunch of kids were baptized, including at least one M kid. But in reality we don’t know. It just seems like a lot of vacations for people with the kind of jobs the Duggars have. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️

(Nods) Also the IRS can’t investigate every tax return and there are people who are less than 100% honest or interpret tax rules very loosely.
