Kaylee isn't the oldest, there are two siblings older than her, but she is in the older group. Not that it makes much difference. Her education still sucks.

In Tim's case, I'd imagine BME pushed him into buying it, with grand dreams that SHE would be able to do her decoration vomit all over, and be in charge of the whole courtship. She wasn't expecting him to enjoy being with Heidi and the Coverettes better than her. I hope sooner rather than later they sell the house, move where they want, and have a great life.

Tim seems easily moldable by his situations and surroundings. So being away from BME is probably great for him. Maybe if he sees the Coveretts are Christian but nothing like the looney bin he's from, he'll pay attention and want that.

I see this as Kaylee doing exactly what BME tells her to do on FB, because right now she's the favored child, something that she hasn't been in the past. Unfortunately for her, if Renee marries someone BME and Hunk approve of and quickly produces that coveted granddaughter (or if Nurie does), she'll be pushed back into her (and Kaylee) role. I'm just sad for her.

I'm surprised and a bit thankful that they don't have number 5 yet. I honestly thought they'd beat Jessa to it, and then zoom past Anna, kid wise.

What is that supposed to be?

The one and only reason I feel for (andKaylee) is that she doesn't know any better and has never had the chance to find out. She has at least one parent actively pounding at all times that their way is the ONLY way, and poor picked on Kaylee has probably struggled to survive the upbringing, much less even try to comprehend that any other thoughts or ideas were ok. I hope she doesn't become a Jill clone, but it's looking like it, and that makes my heart break for her.

She said she ate it. But you're right. It did look more like melted sludge. Either way, SHE consumed it. She didn't even think to share it with that group of kids she claims to love so much. Between the misuse of commas and "contenting" I weep for her children's education. Poor (and Kaylee) doesn't know any better.

Back when they were really struggling, I seem to remember Jill telling a story about some ice cream that was about to be thrown out or very recently so, and she described, in great detail, how she retrieved it and how much she enjoyed the treat and didn't share it with anyone. So I'd imagine Jill gets what Jill wants at all times. And if anyone else benefits, it's only because of her.

Wasn't Jill the family snitch? The goody two shoes who never did anything wrong? Maybe that's why she sees her childhood as good, because for her, it was. It's only been recently that she's seen things differently.

Kaylee has either become Jill, or Jill is posting for her. If it's the first one, yikes! And if it's the second, run Kaylee run!

It would be a third banner since Jeremiah and Hannah's little girl was born on Christmas day last year. If Jessa does give birth on Christmas, maybe she'd name the child Emmanuel.

I thought Tozer was what we were thinking, but I could be wrong.

I'm sure since Nurie and Kaylee have probably been pitted against each other all their lives, they probably very passive aggressively play, "oh look, I pleased BME today!" causing the other one to do something to win back the affection (like join BMEs downline, get pregnant, start a fb page to shill). You get the idea?

Oops, sorry. Guess I assumed it was, since the last trip she didn't get to go on, was.

Stupid question, since I've never been on a cruise. Why does one have to have arrival and departure flights booked? I hate flying and absolutely refuse to do it. Can't they get there and leave some other way? Are they flying to DR for the cruise? Like I said, I've never been on a cruise, but I assumed they started state side.

They are adorable. Easily the cutest Duggar grands (IMO)

Well since Jill has mentioned in the past how gleefully they picked on Kaylee, I can see Jill putting the stuff in several boxes (you know the box within a box within a box thing), assuring Kaylee that it's something great and laughing heartily when the real gift/s are revealed.

Jill writes like that because she thinks her audience is stupid. If she, her own special self, doesn't over explain everything, we won't get what she's talking about.

Isn't Heidi already in Jill's downline? I seem to remember a screenshot Jill posted of one of her downline zoom calls and Heidi was on it. I could be wrong about that. As for poor (and Kaylee) unless they manage to move far from BME, she will do whatever BME demands. It's the only way she gets positive attention from Jill, sadly enough.

He will if the new baby is a girl. ALL the grandsons will be pushed aside if Jill gets her highly coveted granddaughter. I hope Nurie only has boys!

Doesn't Abbie get that hypermedia gratis(? sp) sickness during her pregnancies? Gracie and Charlie may be their only two.

Ok. If they didn't have stairs before, then how did the stuff pictured up there get there? Some of it appears quite large.

If she stopped filming, even for a bit, she'd probably find she's not as exhausted. Could her other deficiency be from her pregnancy with Gunner? I've never been pregnant so I don't know, but she had to do those shots in her last pregnancy. Could that have anything to do with it?

I'm sure they were eager to get her out of their house. If Jill was anything like she is now, and I completely believe she was, when the opportunity to marry her off came along, they probably jumped at the opportunity. That Jill already had the massive hots for him, was a plus.
