Maybe the vicious sickness will prevent her from going on her Plexus trip. Just laying the groundwork for an excuse maybe?

And why is she spelling “savoring” that way? Is she British and we never knew it? 😆
If she's British, can we send her back?
She probably thinks British spellings look fancier. Or she is so poorly educated that she doesn't realize that's not the traditional American spelling. It could be either of these reasons. It's hard to say with her.

Starting to imply that the Punta Cana trip is too expensive? Time to up the grifting game.

Didn't she also post some story about giving an Amish neighbor a ride to the hospital? It seems like maybe the neighbor was pregnant and miscarried?? Or something like that.

Jill is the "before" picture on What Not to Wear. Who leaves their house thinking this looks ok?

I grew up in Northern Illinois, and we had tater tot casserole. It was even served in school for hot lunch. Ours was more of a mix between the Duggar recipe and green bean casserole though.

I loved The Sound of Music in elementary school. It probably was my first exposure to Nazis. But would Jessa's kids be allowed to watch a movie with so much Catholicism and pre-marital kissing?

Out of all the Duggar grandkids, I feel the sorriest for Jessa's kids. I think they have the saddest, loneliest lives. I guess the only good thing is that they don't fully know what they're missing. Including a loving mother.

They also have a pay-per-ride option. Maybe this ride was the only one they went on. Some rides are as cheap as $2 per person.

If I had to choose between a store bought Swiss cake roll or a birthday cake made by Jill, Little Debbie would easily win. I would want mine still sealed though. Once she's touched it, it's already too questionable for me.

My kids are 23 and 18, and they can both figure out how to read cursive. But they don't know how to write in it except for signatures. I had to force them to learn that much. I'm 45 and never choose to write in cursive except my signature. But I still know how to read and write in cursive.
And I'm a nurse at an assisted living and when the doctor or nurse practitioner come in for rounds, they write their orders in cursive still. And then we enter them in the patient's computerized records. I guess the doctor's don't want to take the time to learn each facility's computer program.

My older daughter started wearing a watch when she was about Izzy's age. My younger daughter didn't start until she was around 16. My older daughter just liked knowing what time it was, so it was easier to get her a cheap watch. As they grew up the watches got nicer. I had a watch in elementary school, so it doesn't seem weird to me. It's a good way to give kids some structure to their days. Maybe it's the husbands' subtle way to get their wives off "Duggar Time."

I can definitely see how some kids would get complacent about trying to improve their speech. And maybe Gideon would fall into that category, especially since he's probably not meeting lots of people who can't understand him. My daughter was so frustrated when she couldn't be understood that she would eventually cry. It broke my heart as a parent, and I really had to be an advocate to get her speech therapy. I was told things like "It's not that bad. It's just a few consonants. She will outgrow it." Umm no. She's frustrated. I can't picture Joy and Austin pushing to get Gideon therapy. If they were told some of the things I heard, they would just agree because that's easier than sticking with a therapy schedule.

It's really sad that these kids will never reach their potential just because their parents can't be bothered to actually parent. Most parents WANT their children to have a better life than them. These fundies are all about repressing these kids and dooming them to a mediocre life at best.

Speaking from experience, I'm sure Joy and Austin can understand what Gideon is saying. My daughter definitely needed and benefitted from speech therapy, but I could always figure out what she was trying to say. I had to work as a "translator" between her and new acquaintances though. Gideon probably isn't exposed to many strangers so Joy and Austin probably aren't aware how much help he needs. Not that I'm defending them, but I can see how it might not be as obvious to them as others.

60k a year isn't a lot for a family of 5. I guess it depends on how much Jill brings in with her online ads. They could possibly qualify for some tuition assistance. I think the cutoff for assistance where I live is around 70k/yr.

They probably don't do Santa but still get the kids gifts.
Yes, I'm sure they get them presents. I just meant that if you aren't saying Santa delivered them, you could put them out anytime. We put our presents out early.

Well that's a bizarre tradition. Most parents count the minutes until their kids are tucked away asleep in their beds so Santa can come.
Do the Duggars do Santa stuff though? I thought when they still had a show, they claimed they didn't do Santa stuff. It was all about Jesus and the Bible. Maybe I just imagined hearing Michelle claim that??

I thought I saw a line on the wall -- those vertical lines you see on the walls in mobile homes, like the wall material was unfolded.
Yeah. I noticed that too. It definitely reminded me of a mobile or modular home.

Joy and Austin and JD and Abbie are the only couples that look consistently happy in their photos. Jill And Derick have seemed happier the last few years too. But those are just photos, so who really knows. I mean, no marriage is perfect, but in the Duggars isolated world, they're probably as happy as can be reasonably expected.

Other than an excessive amount of emojis, I actually like her post. The sentiment is nice at least.

I would imagine Michelle is probably more interested in the new baby than the older boys. I picture her mostly sitting and holding Frederick and expecting Jill to get the boys ready for school. She never took much interest in her own kids after they were a few months old, so why would grandkids be any different?

Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!
in Counting On
In her book, Jill said she wanted a lot of kids. I'm sure if it was up to her she would have several children. But I would think Derick might be more realistic about how many they can reasonably afford to take care of.
