And they don’t homeschool either.

Yeah, homeschooling, such as it was in the Rod household, will go to total shit now that there's no accountability in Ohio's laws. They just have to register the kids, but don't have to demonstrate a curriculum or progress. 

[beckie]

Since when is (and Kaylee) her sunshine girl? She's proudly bragged about how awfully they've treated her. I guess she's it for now, since she lives so close that Jill can hog her baby whenever she wants. 

[oliviabenson]

AndKaykee is buying plexus from Mahmo which makes Mahmo very happy!

If Dave's heard about all the eating that goes on during cruises, there is no way he wouldn't go.  He's likely to "dip up" himself into a coma, or at least some major indigestion/gall bladder issues.

Berlin Ohio yesterday:

[satrunrose]

I have a very sneaky suspicion that one of the reasons andKaylee was so (completely independently and with no influence whatsoever from Jilldo) keen to stay close to home was to get a new supply of fresh waifs as Mahmo's own children aged out. I really wish Mahmo would leave her alone. Sunshine girl isn't looking well here.

[jacourt]

Oh my!  What a sad group. Why the heck is kaylee there?  Jill looks very rough. The clothes are a mishmosh. They are a mess. 

[GeeGolly]

The older daughter standing behind the young ones - is she wearing a wedding dress?

And Renee looks like she is wearing a June Cleaver hand me down, which is oddly the nicest she (or any daughter) has ever looked.

It looks like they are dressed up in bridesmaids and mother of the bride outfits. Maybe there was a sale at the bridal thrift shop?

[ginger90]

Some of the outfits seem to be from (and Kaylee’s) wedding.

Wow, a year later and the dresses still fit the little ones.

Good grief. Jill has been hauling Kaylee around since - apparently - the moment she and her baby were released from the hospital. Her premature baby. Who spent all that time in the NICU. But Mahmo booked an AirBnB in Akron, piled the whole fam damily into it including the wee baby, hauled everybody to the zoo, and let's not forget making everybody - including a probably exhausted new mom - sit up late for family devotionals. And now she has to haul Kaylee out to screech with the family, and it's not even at a church. Geez, Jill, give Kaylee a rest. Literally.

Oh, wait a minute. I forgot. Silly me. No rest for Kaylee!! Jill and David took the family on the road and left pregnant Kaylee to care for Jill's mother and dad who were at that time staying at the barndo. Jill's mother who has been disabled by strokes and needs daily care and assistance. AFAIK Jonathan has a full time job somewhere, so pregnant Kaylee carried that load alone for the most part. Then Jill hauled the Hills off to W Va, where Kaylee gave birth prematurely.

I'm not saying Kaylee would have carried to term if she hadn't had to care for her grandparents or been hauled off on that road trip. Gideon may have arrived early anyway. But the optics are, IMO, bad. 

Jill is so vile.

What happened to the dog Kaylee got as a present?

Don't forget Jill pushes that vile Plexus on her pregnant and nursing daughters!

[graybrown bird]

Mahmo of the Year, for sure.

[BradandJanet]

For her treatment of andKaylee and tiny Gideon alone, Jill has proven herself to be a giant turd on the fecal chair of humanity. Does she think we don't notice? 

I wish Jonathan and/or his family would step in to protect this little family, but it won't happen. Kaylee will be churning out kids to travel in Jill and Dave's stink van on the singing/grifting circuit and be child labor in the print shop. 

 

[Teriacky]

As I’ve said before, just because you have a large family doesn’t mean they’re talented. Although the older children have some instrumental skills (not Tessie who has a horrible embouchure) and can possibly carry a tune, you are not the Von Trapp family. The smaller children seem to have no idea of what they’re doing up there and appear to be terrified of Jill. As for Kayley, let her stay home and be a new mother! I’m sure if Jill had given birth (when younger) to a preemie she would still be in bed having others do her bidding.

And why on earth is Tessie wearing a mother of the bride dress and why is Kayley dressed like Ma Kettle? Your fashion sense is reflected in your children’s clothing too, Jill.

Kaylee and Jonathan should have been at home taking care of their little one, getting to know parenthood. A child is not an accessory. While there is nothing wrong with going out, I'm exhausted just seeing all of this! Jill could have been an actual REAL grandmother, visiting them, helping with meals, things my mom did. But no, she is a moron and everyone is part of her show. What a self centered bitch. And those kids are so brainwashed. 

[Salacious Kitty]

Thankfully, Berlin is a day trip for the Rods. But who held the baby? I can't picture DBD wearing him.

Take a shot of plexus every time he says ummmm. 100 ummms in his little speech. Poor boy can’t string a coherent thought together.

Jill could not even bother to throw Sammy boy a graduation party featuring water and a box of dollar tree snack cakes… what a horrible Mahmo.

I wonder why no posts about Sammy graduating or what the lord wants him to do with his life.

No post: hi this is Sam Rodrigues and I love my Mahmo and I’m grateful blah blah blah.

Saw in a fb group, that Jill posted that SHE will no longer be posting updates about Tim and Heidi. Since they have fb pages, they will be doing it themselves,  THEN she will mention it. The reason she gave was so that she's not accused of playing favorites and that it will be less "work" for her.

Yah right. I wonder who put their foot down about the massive oversharing she does.

She was definitely being passive/aggressive with this tidbit. Clearly T & H are about to announce their engagement and she's still trying to steal their thunder. She likely destroyed Renee's relationship by posting about the guy against his clearly stated wishes. Jill's obsession with SM is making more of her children unhappy. Stop sinning, Jill and MYOB!

I agree. Here are screenshots from her public FB post. Random thoughts:

• She posted at 1:32AM today (Sunday) - I believe that's in my time zone, and that means she posted at 3:32AM Eastern time (her zone). Whichever time it was, why wasn't she sleeping?
• The paucity of random words in ALL CAPS is rare as hens' teeth in Jill's social media posts. I can't believe she wrote it all by herself. Did someone send her suggested wording for this?
• She has to be SO butt hurt that she's not in control, and she's doing everything she can to play the longsuffering but cooperative mom while being passive agressive as sh*t and dripping huge hints about BIG NEWS to come from the couple
• Tim has been choosing Heidi's clothes. She used to wear t-shirts and normal looking things for someone her age. Now she's in a super-baggy frumpy dress that certainly meets the criteria for mawh-desty that Timbits has spouted about on YouTube. I feel sorry for her. She's going from a 19 or 20 year old, straight to middle age. He's a creep. A scary creep.

Thanks for getting that. I tried to save it, but couldn't.  

She's definitely butt hurt.

Maybe Jill believes "A son is a son 'til he takes a wife, but a daughter's a daughter all of her life!" Kaylee is probably thrilled that she's become Jill's "sunshine girl" after a lifetime of being AndKaylee. 

[Trillium]

I don’t believe for a second she’s going to respect their wishes. She even says that as of now she will seldom post exclusive news, leaving the door wide open for her to still post whatever she wants. She’s going to pester them constantly to post so she can share it (and make it all about her) and if they don’t post, she’ll just do it anyway. 
 

Clearly they are or are about to be engaged and said they want to share first. Instead of saying nothing and just letting them share it, she has to post about how she’s NOT going to share their upcoming news. Wink, wink.

Then she should also stop posting about Nurie and Kaylee and their families. If they wanted items posted, they’d have FB themselves. 

[oliviabenson]

Is Jill being blackmailed to stay quiet about Tim?

Tim pay Jill off or something?

[Absolom]

Heidi knows enough to want any social media money that might be available or she or her family has Jill's number and helped the two stand up to Jill?

[oliviabenson]

I also think Tim got engaged. 
 

I give Jill a week before she starts blabbing all about Tim’s private business. 
 

Lady can’t be quiet.

She made that face on purpose lolz.

[GeeGolly]

Heidi is a (semi) typical young person with her own set of friends. It makes sense she'll want to announce the engagement, wedding and babies. I hope they'll do their engagement photos without JillR too.

It looks like Heidi might be a 'strong meek' woman who picks her battles and shares her opinions. Go Heidi! 

And lastly, Heidi is the bride - a future DIL, not daughter, so her family will likely have more say than Jill. Yay 😁

[oliviabenson]

Jill made Nuri sing like 2 weeks after she had her baby. AndKaylee is getting the same treatment, perform for $ for mommy dearest. Jill is never leaving her alone or letting her live her life. AndKaylee and her offspring will be Jill’s trained seals begging for $…

Jonathan grow a pair and tell Jill to leave the Hill family alone.

[graybrown bird]

It's hopeless looking to Jonathan to protect his wife and child.  He has been fully absorbed into the Jillborg.

You know, I'm so impressed that Jilldo managed to hold off a whole, what, 30-36 hours on spilling stuff about Timbits after she said she wouldn't post about their lives and milestones anymore. It must have been the longest day and a half of her life!

[GeeGolly]

Imagine thinking your life is so important that you consider it your job to update others of your daily events.

Jill can call her posts a ministry until the cows come home but we all know its all about feeding her narcissistic personality.

When Lord Daniel of the Laundromat starts 'ministering' on FB I'll cut Jill a break, until then she can sit down and shut up.
