Am I right in assuming that Jill leaves her kids in the RV, parked in Nurie's yard in Florida, while Jill and Dave go cruising?  I suppose that puts Nurie in charge by default, while Nathan's wallet purchases food to feed an extra 8 mouths or so while Jill is gone.  I highly doubt Jill or Dave contribute to the food bill before they sail off into the sunset and hit the buffet to their heart's content.

 

Jill probably brought the three opened jars of peanut butter from her pantry and an almost empty bag of dog food. She and David expect Nathan to pay.

It's like Clark's and Cousin Eddie's shopping trip in the big box store except Nathan and Nurie will be loading the cart by themselves while the little Rodlets run around knocking over displays.

Why is that poor girl dressed like a 1970s grandma dressed up for a night out?

[BradandJanet]

The skirt and the necklace are certainly choices--bad ones. Jill must be scraping the bottom of the discard bin at the local thrift store. 

Is she charging the usual $35 for this mess? Renee looks pained.

I think the skirt may actually be a dress, and the top a semi-sheer sort of thing. It almost looks as though you can see the floral pattern continue up underneath it. I don't see any description of the outfit, though, so I could be wrong.

Apparently, the description says "stretchy maxi skirt," which means the top has its own floral pattern. That makes it even worse than we thought. 

ETA: Jill probably made Renee wear a t-shirt blouse under the blouse. Maybe the undershirt has a print. Because nothing could make this outfit any worse than it is.

The top has flowers. The skirt has flowers. It does match.

She really thinks this crap will sell by Sunday? Her last couple outfits weren't that bad; I was hoping for better going forward, then BAM! this atrocity.

Jill cleaned out someones dead grandmas attic to get those jewels of outfits.

when she called Olivia's leggings: stylish leggings I died laughing.

was it vest jacket?

But will she allow Samuel to stay home alone in Ohio for several weeks? I’m assuming he will need to stay there to work. Or will she leave Renee or someone else at home to be his accountability partner?

Good question about Samuel. He needs to work to keep Mahmo in presents, but how will he find a new helpmeet if he can't check out the young ladies at Nurie's church (ugh)?

God forbid she just pair the dress with a simple black cardigan!

I think their local Ohio church is much larger than Nathan’s Florida church.

I guess it would depend on if Kaylee and family are making the trip to Florida too?

My guess is he will stay home and under Jonathan and Kaylee's supervision.

Snarker on reddit posted a pic of one of those clothing donation bins in a parking lot and joked about Jill having the ever so trim daughters going in and dragging the stuff out for mama to sort through.

How will Jonathan “supervise” him when he also works full time? This is ridiculous.

Jill can dangle Janessa into the bin so Janessa can grab stuff.

The fact that Jill would consider a 20yr old man needed to be supervised is also ridiculous.

Jill probably feels Samuel is safe at work, if he is still at the place he started with last year. Then Kaylee will probably have Samuel over for dinner because how would a male cook for himself??

Timothy and Phillip seem to have managed to claw the tiniest fraction of freedom from mama which means Samuel and Gabriel are going to monitored and corrected more often.

(I haven't seen Phillip in any of mama's pics since christmas so guess he is living elsewhere or got a trailer in the driveway or something.)

[oliviabenson]

if Jill is going to Florida for like a month I think Samuel is going with them. she needs a son to set everything up in churches. David is of no use. maybe Philip will go to Florida too.

Poor dogs will be dragged to FL for a long trip too.

 

Nurie will have 2 dogs plus like 9 siblings to feed and oversee before the plexus trip and certainly during.

You gotta love the Barbara Bush pearls in plastic. That don’t go with the outfit that doesn’t even go with itself. 
 

What exactly is Sam’s fantastic job? I’ve always had a soft spot for him. I could have seen him in high school being the kind of guy all the girls would be after. Tall, cute, and athletic. Probably a runner. just like I think Tessie could’ve been a homecoming queen, she’s so gorgeous. What a completely wasted youth, with more waste to come.

Sam can’t even string  two sentences together. He’s also David, Jr. IMHO. I have soft spots for underdogs, not kids I would have hated in high school, lol. Women are worth far more than their physical appearances. But regardless, I agree that all of the Rod kids have had completely wasted youths.

[EmeraldGirl]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Sam speak. He just always seems smiley and good natured, odd given his world. 
 

I’m just speaking superficially about those kids being in the real world of high school. I don’t know what they even sound like, or speak like (except when the girls go super sonic with their voices). I just find Tessie so extremely pretty, that that’s the first thing I thought of. Born into another family, I could see the both of them excelling in sports and being popular. I know their beliefs are probably the same as the parents (what else have they ever known?), but I am making up a fake world here! In reality, Sam will work some low paying job and have a dozen kids, and Tessie will marry the first loser that comes along.

[Westiepeach]

Sammers cannot string 2 sentences together. He also has the strange Rod Accent thing doing on.

Also... does he know he and Brigot have broken up?  🤔

Jill could severely injure her gahdly shoulder doing that. I think she'll assign that task to one of her slaves parentified daughters.

She's got to earn that sweet cash money to afford those nice vacation dinners out with Hunk!  Oh, wait - she's going to be at Nathan and Nurie's house...never mind.  She can use the Cream-Of-Ivory money to buy herself a new cute hoodie blouse from whatever port her ship stops in.

We know there will be a couple of "double dates" with Nurie and Nathan that Nurie and Nathan will insist on paying for.  Jill and Dave can't wait.
