I bought those too. They were a big thing for a while among teenage girls. I didn’t even have pen pals but remember using seals on friends’ birthday cards.

Shimmer!

I remember being so excited to get new school supplies each year - picking out certain color notebooks and folders for each class, brand new pink erasers, markers, crayons, etc., packing your pencil case or box just right. I still love office supply stores and finding a cool new notebook or pen. I’m so glad Iz gets that experience and the new world of public school. I’m guessing none of the Duggars or Rodrigues ever had the fun of buying new supplies each fall. But hey the Duggars all learned the words bankruptcy and perpendicular so what else do they need?

As a clarinet player, it drives me crazy that Tessie (?) holds her horn to the side rather than in front of her. You can still be modest and hold your clarinet properly. She’s not going to get great tone or sound because she can’t put her mouth the correct way on the mouthpiece holding it like that. Of course, she’ll never get the chance to play in a high school, college or community band or major in music, but it would so much easier for her to play if their modesty standards didn’t force her to hold it unnaturally.

Does she really think that’s a good picture? She posts a lot that aren’t very flattering but this is not something I would have posted.

Me too! My father was an English major and made sure we all knew how to write and use correct grammar, punctuation, etc. This would drive him crazy.

She is adorable.

Jill, you may not be sick but look at the pale coloring and thin hair of those two children. They do not look healthy at all, and if I saw this picture without knowing who you were, I would think they were fighting a very serious illness. Stop posting your crap and start feeding your children good nutrition.

That little Giddy just makes me smile!

Sorry about the weird post above. I don’t know how to delete one I started and ended up with all sorts of strange stuff. Anyway, I had a dream last night that Nurie & Nathan moved next door to me. Nurie was wearing shorts and a cute shirt and was incredibly happy. She told me she was so excited to be free. She really did look genuinely happy in her pictures with Nathan. I hope they have some Jill-free time and are strong enough to set boundaries with her. I also have to say I hate when people post pictures of their children in pain or distress. The pictures of Nurie with the crying little ones should be private or not even taken at all - who wants photographic evidence of being so sad? Then again Jill posted pictures of her daughters in the ER after their car crash, and selfies with grieving parents (who she didn’t even know) at their children’s funeral so why would she stop now.

I would definitely wear the top - I love tie dye. The pants look a little clingier on the legs than I would be comfortable with in public, but at home as lounge/sleep pants I might consider them.

Oh I know. I wonder how much they get bothered by leg humpers when they go out to eat, or if they’re weird like me and think it tastes best eaten in the car rather then waiting 10 - 20 minutes and eating when they get home. Please know I’m not being argumentative or critical, just my thoughts.

During this pandemic and safer at home, my husband and I, just for something different to do, have picked up a meal at a drive thru then taken it to a parking lot somewhere to sit in the car and eat. Gets us safely out of the house for a change of scenery. I can’t knock her for this one.

They really do think they’re hot shit, don’t they.

She is a cute little one.

I do like that Prop is dressed in Nike clothes and hope that is a subtle FU to Boob and Meechelle.

I think Joy and Austin enjoy that little guy so much. Gideon just seems like such a happy child that I would have a hard time believing they used any type of blanket training with him. I hope they keep their family at a size where they won’t get overwhelmed and unable to really be present with their kids. Joy’s posts about Annabelle tear my heart out. Such a difficult thing for such young parents to go through. But she has, at least in her public persona, handled it with grace and maturity.

I wonder if Jessa has that jewelry box proudly on display somewhere in her house or if once she reached adulthood she realized how much that hurt Jana and gave it back to her. Re Jill’s essay on behavior, I’ll give her credit for acknowledging that it’s ok to express feelings and be angry at times- “Anger and disagreements can be healthy and need to be expressed, but we do want them to be thoughtful, responsible, self-aware and self-controlled when problems arise. ”

So how many times will that baby pull that tree down on herself when she’s pulling herself up from the floor? Or how much dirt (or whatever else is in that planter) will she eat? Unless they’re blanket training and she’s not allowed to leave her blanket on the floor.

There is way too much white space in those portraits, especially Henry and Ivy’s. They need to be cropped. I think they’re creepy too. Way too big.

Look Jim Blob and Meechelle - children can dance without immediately being whisked away by Satan!

I cannot believe there is not one adult there who sees how inappropriate this is. Or I guess I can believe it since Jill thinks this is so wonderful that she has to post it on social media. Jill, grown men should not have young teens giving them massages. You may think it’s sweet and loving but it isn’t. Children do not massage adults.

Saw this in Fundie Wonderland on Facebook. Apparently it’s in Jill’s Instagram stories. Just wrong.
