I see Nessy is still carrying that filthy pink rag. 

That rag has to be dirtier than inside of a public toilet bowl 

seriously they need to throw it out 

janessa probably sucks on that rag too, not just drags it around

CPS needs to remove Sofia. She needs to be evaluated by doctors to find out why she is not growing. Sofia needs help. Her evil parents are not doing their job…

 

[ALittleShelfish]

I hate playing doctor thru a computer screen but jfc someone during at least ONE stop on the Grift-a-thon MUST have brought up Sofia looking ill.  Someone.  Church ladies are nosy AF and always sticking their noses into literally anyone's business but their own, I certainly hope someone has pulled Jill aside and said "she doesn't look right for her age, her skin is ... not right, etc" but I know I know I know... Jill would just brush it off and LOL about it.  

At some point, I would hope the older kids - as they get exposed to other families via marriage or "college" - they can look at Sophia and see "yeah something isn't right" but we know critical thinking isn't in abundance in that family so maybe they are ALL willfully and blissfully ignorant.  Gah this woman infuriates me to no end.  

[Future Cat Lady]

Just a thought, but I would guess that most people that Jill encounters are very suspicious of CPS. So I don't think most of them would report them.

Are they though? Looking at the shoes on the one in front of Tessie (coat?! tied around her waist - I’m not good with the little ones’ names), they look huge on her. Maybe she’s got long feet and is due for a growth spurt, but it looks like she’s wearing someone else’s. 

I think we were stunned that the Rodlet girls were wearing sneakers for their excursion instead of a mix of flip flops, sandals, winter boots, and heels. Just having the right type of shoe is an accomplishment. Getting the correct size is simply asking too much of the Best Momma Ever.

Doesn't AARP repeatedly warn the elderly about people like Jill? 

They do and when it is reported the police do nothing.  

[awaken]

Sadie seems to have grown a bit recently. She usually looks as rough as Sofia. In recent photos she’s looked a tad bit better. 

[graybrown bird]

Sofia (the child with the raggedy hem on her ill-fitting dress) looks like an orphan from Dickens -- as if she is alone in the world, with no one to care for her or love her.

I think we're going to see a lot of those flag shirts.

Well proof there is more than one flag shirt.   thrift store must have had several of them.

The kids look bored lol. Sammers is counting down the days until he can escape to get married or Bible school…

[oliviabenson]

Dave got a new outfit?

[crazy8s]

Nope - nothing new. Same outfit from the Buy our new CD video. Same old suit for the same old preaching.

 

 

[BradandJanet]

Apparently, the Rodriguii have left their mark on a national monument yet again. Reddit had Jill's posted video of the fam in the Paw Paw Tunnel in the Chesapeake & Ohio National Historic Park. David took out a ballpoint pen and wrote on an old wooden rail inside the tunnel: The Rodrigues Family was here (date). The video clip has since disappeared, but it's the usual giggling Jill with her camera and the unsupervised kids in the background. In their defense (cough, cough), other people had defaced the rail before them. Still, the point is to visit our national parks and monuments and enjoy and learn from the experience. Since the Rods do not seem to have any natural curiosity about the world around them, learning and enjoying are impossible. 

The Rods' transgression has been reported to the National Park Service, where the file on this family continues to grow. Jill should be careful what she posts, but we know how that goes. 

 

[crazy8s]

Jill, self proclaimed lover of history, certainly has no respect for historical places and sadly she and dip up dave are teaching their children to have no respect for such places as well.

But do you think for even one second that they wrote/gouged "the rodrigues family was here" into the wall in Floyd's Barbershop or the Mayberry Jail Cell?? Heavens no, only evil modern world people would deface the sacredness of mayberry. 🙄

I have reported people to the National Park Service. Some do get fined or banned. A co-workers son once posted pics of himself and his friends on fb spray painting their names on some Petroglyphs - I reported them. They got a huge fine and had to spend time doing community service in the national parks along with lifetime bans.

I reported Jill and Dave over the St Augustine climbing and got a note back saying they were aware and were pursuing the case.

You’re right, because I noticed the same thing.  That’s Sadie and those shoes look huge on her.  It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Jill gets the kids shoes that are 4 sizes too big, so the kids will be able to wear them for 2 or 3 years.  Which means Jill will have more money to spend on herself.

I gasped at this.   Literally.   the PawPaw tunnel is not to be defaced.  Oh my goodness.   I hate that they are messing up stuff in my state.

The pocket square (if real) looks like a tiny clawed imp is about to climb out of DBD’s pocket. I wonder if you put a microphone up to it if you’d hear the screams of all the sinners in hell.

You’re right.  The video clip, that shows David writing on the wooden rail, is gone.  I want someone to watch the video clip of when they turn off all of their flashlights and it’s pitch dark.  Who is the Rodling who says, with a breathy, high-pitched voice, “Janessa is scared!”

If they get a fine it will come out of the kids food budget. 
 

If they get a fine. It seems no consequences happen to the Rod family, like EVER.

I could not decide which Rodling it was since they all have the same affect in jill speak. It could have been one of the younger girls, but I thought it also seemed  to have sort of mocking tone to it, like an older one making fun of janessa for being scared.

[ozziemom]

So new story has the Rodlets playing dodgeball with some other random kids. Part of their trip to grift in Maryland. No one there seemed to treat the Rods to dinner just dodgeball. Even Renee was playing.

In the dodge ball video I saw a few girls wearing pants. 
 

Jill is so annoying always recording and the weird laugh/breathy voice narrating everything.

I turn off the sound on her videos. Can't stand Jill's shrieking, singing, or other mannerisms.

I wonder how she would justify it. She's lost friends over skirts only. 

[mythoughtis]

Graffiti?   Isn’t he a lot too old for graffiti?   Most people either never do graffiti  or get it out of their system as teenagers writing notes on bathroom stalls.   I’m sure he looks down his nose at those  who create ‘artwork’ on railroad cars, yet he defaced a National Monument.  I’d love to see him and her have to perform community service picking up trash and scrubbing graffiti off things.

That is likely to happen as Jill feeding her kids and finding out why Sofia is so tiny…

never going to happen

Biblical modesty (Jill's version) is the hill she'll choose to die on. It's Jill's public modesty performance. Her daughters  and daughters-in-law (other than the unfortunate girl who marries Tim) may have different ideas.

God led Jill to Plexus… So God will lead her to sell something else useless/harmful!

I’m SEVERELY shocked that Jill is NOT in Florida celebrating her favorite kid’s birthday! Jill is never home and apparently has no issues filling up the RV ($500)…

It’s hard to have issues filling up the RV when it’s not your money being guzzled. 

[mythoughtis]

Does she have an eldest daughter in a different category than ‘born’?   Most people just say eldest without adding the word born to it.   Unless she wants to imply that one of the daughters is adopted?  ( I know they aren’t - just being sarcastic).  Normal people who adopt children wouldn’t single out born vs adopted anyway 

 

Don't get your hopes up about Plexus.  Coca Cola and Proctor  and Gamble are on that list. They aren’t going anywhere

Yes, Pepsi was also on the list. I have to admit I am a little confused about the list. Is every company on the list guilty of false advertising,  some other wrongdoing?

This is at the beginning of the list:

The fact that a company is on this list is NOT an indication that it has done anything wrong

You probably blocked the information. The mind has a way of protecting itself.

Older black people say “my first born” a lot. My mom always calls me her first born, yes I am her eldest and her first pregnancy. So I don’t think it’s odd, probably a regional terminology difference. 

[Salacious Kitty]

First born is normal usage. ELDEST born sounds like Jill trying to be  the smartest person in the room, failing miserably.

[madpsych78]

I've heard both "first born" and "eldest." Not "eldest born."

[ginger90]

Just a reminder, this is the same woman who gave us pediatrician doctor.
