For whatever it's worth, I probably would have worn a dress like that when I was 16. Then again, I don't honestly recall what was in style back in those days...It was around about 1976 time period, and I kind of remember that a lot of throwback "bicentennial" styles were kind of popular. Plus, I always liked Robin Hood type movies, so the idea of looking like Maid Marian would have appealed to me. 

IIRC, bell bottoms were still in style. And wrap dresses and sundresses. I don't recall anything like the Rods are wearing.

I’ll bet she keeps her children torn all to pieces most of the time, because she’s constantly crying and talking about the “we’re being attacked” BS.  I’d love to know what took place this week that’s making her feel like she’s being attacked.  She truly is insane.  If she weren’t such a horrible human, I would almost feel sorry for her.

My guess would also be that someone questioned having the large number and frequency of visitors  in the baby’s room at the hospital.  Possibly another baby’s parents who were stressed out by the extra commotion.

Mystery men ran off?

Jill drank too much plexus?

I’ll never understand fundie “humor,” and the Rods are the worst.

Jonathan walks around with his keys hanging from his left side belt loop, and a JB sized phone case on the right. The keys were visible on Kaylee’s birthday pictures. Even Jill made fun of Derick when he got one of those phone cases not long ago. 

[oliviabenson]

Maybe someone made a comment that the rods do not tip $ in restaurants … I highly doubt the Hill family tips either.

Ah, poor Jilldo.  Somebody was mean to her!

She's so weird.  

I wore a purple tiered skirt in the late 70's that I made, similar to Hannah's.  I got a lot of complements when I wore it.  Hannah's probably wearing bloomers underneath hers.  I wore what we called pettipants under mine.

Hey Jill, serving Jesus does not mean printing thousands of useless tracts that will never be read and thrown out.

Serving Jesus means helping others, donating your time to others, having a food drive, donating your nice, clean unwanted clothes. It means clearing snow off a neighbor's driveway for free or cutting their grass for free. It means doing without expecting or demanding anything in return.  It means putting others before yourself. It also means taking care of your own children: feed them, cloth them properly, educate them, and do not make them afraid of the outside world!

Jill really needs to relearn what is means to serve Jesus because all Jill does is serve herself.

Grumpy nurses? Fuck you, Jill. And why would Kaylee capitalize “he?”

That was exactly my reaction. Fuck her. Nurses who are all business are now "grumpy." Nurses who may have been more strict with visitors are now "grumpy." 

Just fuck off.

Those "grumpy" nurses are the ones who are keeping your grandchild alive! They are compassionate human beings who will do everything in their power to help Gideon while putting up with your intrusive ways!!

"Grumpy nurses" meaning they enforced the visitation policy including keeping under age kids from visiting and told Jill to stop singing and that taking photos that may include random others is not permitted.  In other words, now that Gideon is settled in and improving, time to follow the rules as written.

When they first arrived, the staff probably bent the rules a little presuming that the family was really worried about the little guy's condition and thought that it would help Kaylee and Jonathan to have their family with them.  Then they got a load of Jill and realized she ignores any rules she doesn't like, is a massive PITA, and really provides no support at all to her daughter and son in law.  So, they hauled out the rulebook and decided to it was time for JRod and company to start following them, much to her dismay.  I'm hoping they stapled a copy of the visitor's handbook to Jill's forehead.  You know they wanted to.

Meanwhile, some other visitors who were well behaved and easy to handle were granted a few minutes extra with their sick kid;  Jill noticed and started screaming persecution.

I don't think anyone is indebted to buy staff treats, I didn't, but I also didn't leave tracts laying around. 

[beckie]

Kaylee capitalizes he and him because she doesn't know any better. And that's how we can tell none of her children write those glowing, gushing epistles about how much of a saint poor persecuted Jill is. I guess she thinks if she doesn't post pictures of herself fake crying we (rightly) won't believe it.

After thinking about it, I feel like the “attack” probably did happen at the hospital.  They may’ve been told to stop singing, to stop trying to get people “saved”, to stop pushing Smiley Face tracts on people, to stop hanging out in droves in the waiting rooms, etc., etc.  I’m hoping that Jill got SEVERELY banned from the hospital indefinitely, especially after her dig about the nurses in her newest FB post.

[charmed1]

I think she resents nurses. This isn’t the first time she’s been “persecuted” by hospital staff. When her sister was in ICU, she was upset when the mean old nurse told her she couldn’t scream at the top of her lungs.

True, but being polite and saying 'please and thank you' is free and many people cannot even be bothered to do that.  I don't picture Jill speaking politely to anyone, and especially not to 'sluttish' nurses in pants who are working rather than being home having babies as rapidly as possible, as God intends.

Nurses, like the rest of us humans, do appreciate being appreciated; especially when they go out of their way to help their patient and family.  Simply putting up with mass numbers of Rods singing about Jaysauce incessantly deserves a lot more than a simple 'thanks', IMO and I doubt Jill even gave them that much.

[Trillium]

Oh Jill, please fuck off. You are not special. You do not get to bring a parade of kids in and out if a freaking neonatal intensive care unit! Nurses are trying to work, which I know is a word you’re not familiar with. They don’t have time for your signing, telling them how to live, or being in the way. Oh and if Kaylee isn’t sleeping, maybe leave her alone for one second. 
 

But really, the “grumpy” nurse probably just didn’t praise Jillpm and her obviously superior parenting or something no one else would classify as grumpy.

I made sure to thank the staff and be friendly. I didn't get upset when the nurse cut my iv line when she was trying to move it and blood squirted everywhere. We actually laughed. I also spoke to the cleaning woman every day I was in. She was really nice too. I can get testy at times but I'm overall agreeable. When I was in for pneumonia, I remember discussing the Walking Dead with one nurse. 

[ginger90]

Policies and procedures mean nothing to Jill, unless they are hers.

[merylinkid]

Yep - Jill got told off.   And when a nurse tells you off -- you KNOW it.   So the nurses who told her to behave like a decent human being and think of others are now "grumpy nurses."   Instead of you know, people with a job to do that she was making harder.   

And because it cannot be said enough "STFU JILL"

[Meow Mix]

Yeah, the grumpy nurse comment made me irrationally angry.  While doctors do a lot of stuff, the reason anyone in the hospital is alive is because there are nurses watching over them and doing their job tirelessly.  I would love to hear what actually happened because I noticed as well that Jill isn't in every picture with her filthy Bible and bottle of pink poison anymore.  Take your crummy tracts and go home Jill and feed your kids.  

[Lady Edith]

Jill, may I direct you to Matthew 6:5 (KJV):

“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.“

In other words, we are supposed to pray quietly, alone.  Without God-bothering.  Without disrupting entire NICU wards.   This is straight from an apostle, as quoted in the “correct” Bible.  

Practice what you preach.

Jill let her hunk go alone to Florida? Maybe he had some wine and cheated on his precious plexus guzzling wifey poo. Or went to hooters lol. 
 

Oh the possibilities of what Dave does alone!

[crazy8s]

How is it Jill didn't travel to visit her most favorite and godly daughter NUUrie?

Was she planning to stay near Gideon and continue the caterwauling in the NICU, but got shut down by "grumpy nurses"?

Jill was certainly all dressed up in the video of david leaving with the tracts. Also, someone waved out the front passenger window while leaving and neither Olivia or Sadie should be riding in the front seat.

JillR,

You are a narcissist who uses everyone and everything for your own gain, including religion. Your entitled nature and preoccupation with self is only surpassed by your arrogance and lack of empathy for others including your children. So while you continue to exploit others, others will continue to attack you.

Sincerely, the DSM - V

Dear Jill,

You only need to meet 5 of 9 criteria to qualify for narcissistic personality disorder. Now you have another reason to feel superior: you meet ALL NINE CRITERIA!! Congratulations.

Poor Newman. Auntie Sadie (thanks for the correction, SK) is holding him in the most uncomfortable way. 

Of course, the poor girl hasn't the strength to hold him properly due to her parents starving her.

Let's not even talk about how little sense it makes to drive all those tracts all the way to Florida instead of just, y'know, putting them in a box and mailing them?

But, but, if she doesn't pray loudly and post about it on social media how will we know how godly she is and better than the rest of us?

Yeah that passage was directly about Jill and her kind.

When have the Rods ever taken child safety into account?  They probably aren't wearing seat belts, either.

I wonder what those nurses would think if they knew Jill was posting videos on a very public platform and not wholly hiding their identity.  If only...

(Turns out, Mr. Six & I have a relative who just so happens to be a NICU nurse who works at Akron Children's.  They haven't mentioned needing extra time with their therapist, but I only give it a matter of time).
