Oh gosh, no. JillR will pay no mind to Kim now, unless its to shame her, like posting how Jill spends time with Hosanna and Kim doesn't.

Would that be allowed? Ethan has had "sexual fornication" and drinks alcohol.

I think Ethan's drinking could be forgiven since he's pretty much renounced the lifestyle he lived with Olivia. Pretty much like what happened with Moriah. And Barry never changed, so the Rods could still connect to the family through him. 

That said, Ethan pretty much denounced the Rods, but that was when he was happy with Olivia. His mind could have changed.

I have no idea if the older children had any musical training with an actual teacher, but the younger children have certainly had none. Jill has mentioned they watch youtube videos to learn. She has stated, and shown, they "sit in on orchestra practice at church to learn how to play". She hasn't filmed the "orchestra" in a while, so I wonder if they had issues there.

But it seems this is another case of younger children get older sibling instruction just like home schooling. If Renee has been teaching Hannah violin, it has been a fail. Same if Samuel is supposed to be teaching Olivia guitar. Tessie is obviously self taught on the clarinet. Sadie has been recently shown playing piano and got a small toy keyboard thing for Christmas.

Janessa and Sofia barely even sing when they are on the grift stages. Lots of aggravating each other by nudging and pushing, lots of thumb sucking and the sucking on the ever present rag. They are little and shouldn't be up there anyway but mama needs the number of waif children as high as possible for the grift.

Does Jill know her kids could get free music instruction in public schools? At least back in my day in Ohio, I played both violin and clarinet. I learned both for free in school. 

[oliviabenson]

Not gonna lie I’d love to hear a Tidy duet lol. 

[oliviabenson]

Jill will marry Renee off to any guy who can buy Jill gifts.

With heathens?! And Jenny who has two dads?! Plus it would interfere with their grifting schedule.

They'd learn to read and write and get lunch and probably breakfast too. Not a bad deal. 

Jill doesn't care about the reading, writing, and music lessons, but the school meals would free up money for her Plexus trips. 

[Salacious Kitty]

They'd definitely qualify for free lunch. Fewer meals for Jill to not think about. 

[oliviabenson]

My school fed me twice a day. Maybe Ohio feeds kids in school twice a day too. That would be 2 meals a day more than they eat now.

I fully believe her kids eat 1-2 spoons per meal. They probably split a banana into 4 portions.

Her children need a lot of food and to see a doctor. It’s a shame what Jill does to her kids.

[Salacious Kitty]

I saw a side by side of Phillip, one pic from his "graduation," and the other from Christmas. He doesn't look like the same person; he looks normal now. It's crazy what eating real meals will do to a person.

On IG, Jill recorded basically an entire church service/concert given by Timothy and Hosanna Noble.  Hosanna is, I'm pretty sure, the one Plath sibling who refused to be on Welcome to Plathville.  I'm sure Jill posted this 6-part video to make sure we all know that she's connected to another "famous" family while she waits patiently for TLC to finally give her and her family their own tv show.  It also looks like Jill was front and center for this concert, which makes me wonder if Hosanna was cool with having a phone pointed at her for the duration.

I also wonder if Jill clocked that this is what actual talent sounds like, or was she sitting there thinking that her circus performers are way better than these two?

Did you listen to the performance?  Jill was whooping and hollering and yelling out “Amen!” like a crazy person during the concert.  SMDH.  Also, Janessa was the only Rod offspring who was allowed to attend.  I know that only because Jill would have included the other kids in the video if they’d been there.

[Meow Mix]

I noticed that this time when Jill mentioned Hosana Noble, she didn't add (KIM PLATH) on the end.  She used to do that all the time to show that she was friends with someone who had a TV show.  I thought Lydia Plath was hanging around casa de Rod last summer.  Maybe she was trying to hook her up with Tim or Phillip.  Either way, I'm sure she has written Kim off now.

I notice she is really flogging her invite to the next Plexus event.  I'm sure that's because no one believed she actually was invited on the cruise.  Still doubt she'll go to this one either, but she wants us to know she was totally invited.  I wonder what her excuse will be this time.

I attended grade school in Ohio at a heathen Catholic school, no less, and we did receive free breakfast because we lived in a low income neighborhood.  It was always cold, like cereal or bread and milk and OJ; but we got it.  My siblings and I didn't eat it because we had actual breakfast at home, usually cold cereal which was tastier than whatever the school provided. Anyway, Jill's kids would probably qualify for subsidized breakfast and lunch. Many schools also provide food from Blessings in a Backpack, a charity that gives low income kids a backpack filled with food like granola bars, lunchables and pieces of fruit for the weekend.  Of course, Jill's kids would probably have to surrender any food that they didn't consume at school so that Dave could 'dip up' first.

Hey! At least she had twins, she probably barely even noticed when one of them died.  I am so enraged, I hardly know how to address this kind of casually cruel remark.

Does she get extra credit from Mahmo for the extraneous commas and random capitalizations?

I'm sure the nurses in the NICU were gratified to know that Kaylee already had a 'pattern' to 'train' Gideon to breastfeed and loved hearing her lecture them as to how it is done.  Maybe she can train him to honk little horns like a trained seal and play The Star Spangled Banner at the aquarium next.  Dog forbid, Kaylee take advice from some heathen nurse or actually bond with her infant and learn together with him how best to accomplish successful breastfeeding.

I used to feel sorry for her, but it seems shes just another insufferable twit.

[oliviabenson]

The twin comments have me seeing red. Kaylee poo is as bad as Jill. I’m sure Nurie is the same except she doesn’t post anything so we can’t tell.

I feel sorry for the Rod kids because they were raised to be uneducated but they are know it alls because Jebus.

Sleeping on the hospital floor?  And then probably holding the baby?  I know what is on hospital floors, and, believe me, you don't to touch them.  My hospital shoes never came into my house when I came home (my night job).  They stayed in the garage.  I just can't imagine walking barefoot or actually sleeping on the hospital floor. These folks have no common sense, at all.

And yes, I taught school full time during the day, and was an NICU RN at night weekends, holidays, all summer and when called in.  Looking back on my working years, maybe I didn't have much sense, either. 

 

[Salacious Kitty]

I'm sure she's exaggerating about the floor. They had a comfy chair in the room. He could have slept there.

Kaylee needs to let everybody know how wonderful her husband is even if it means lying. Look at Jill lying about how great her husband is.

Some people are so self-centered, and think they are so special, that they can ignore the feelings of others.  One night we had a baby who was actually dying.  I called the parents to come quickly, and everyone was doing everything possible so the parents could see and hold their baby one more time.  Meanwhile, we had a couple who decided they wanted to take their baby home AMA, and was demanding that the doctor stop what he was doing and sign paperwork so they could go home.  They could see what we were dealing with, but just didn't care.  They needed that paper work NOW.  This was at 2:00 AM.  The parents that I called did make it in, but their baby died about a half hour later.  And the other parents were still demanding attention from the doctor.  No compassion at all.  I can see Jill being very demanding and not caring about anyone but her.  Or very judgmental of other families.

[Salacious Kitty]

I wonder if Kaylee proselytized the staff? Other parents? 

I bet the nurses had some stories to tell about her and her annoying family. 

[GeeGolly]

The entire post is written from a woe is me perspective. Poor, poor Kaylee sacrificed so much because her baby dared to arrive early.

Most NICU moms are forever grateful for the loving care their babies received by everyone involved.

My heart aches for Gideon, Nemo, Newbie and any future Rod grandchildren born into this self-centered family. May they thrive in spite of the asshole adults around them.

For a woman with 13 children, she talks to babies and young kids in such a shrieky, ridiculous tone of voice! You would think she'd have learned a different approach after all these years!

Some people are not teachable or capable of change. Very common among those with personality disorders.

The certainty did. In Jill’s magazine paper, Kaylee’s “article” included the story of the twins that were in the NICU and they gave the grieving mother a Bible highlight with passages that, paraphrasing here, “God chose your baby to die for REASONS” 

Jill and now her children often tell stories where they think they are the hero, but they just come off as assholes.

This ‘helpful’ comment gets made by many many more people than the Jills of the world.   ‘ G*d had his reasons, he’s in a better place’.   People think they are good Christians when they say these things… but I can tell you that comments like this are extremely hurtful to the bereaved.  Especially those that do not believe that G*d rips loved ones out of your life on purpose for some vague reason.

A week before the trip:

"My previously severely, injured severe knee injury has, flared up, again!!  This means that I will, have to watch my lovely, Plexus, friends, enjoying themselves in Punta Cana, without me!!!  Don't worry, lol!!  I will, make the next, trip!  I can't wait!!!"

[oliviabenson]

Jill made 2 pans of food and 2 garlic breads. For her huge family and 25 guests. 
 

Maybe there was snacks or something but knowing Jill there was not enough food for everyone.

Ha, ha. So Jill thinks that her Amish neighbors love her pathetic parties and that the light that radiates from her bleached mop and thick makeup will inspire the them to convert to the "correct" Christianity? The woman is delusional. 

If she thinks Amish women will sign up to sell overpriced Plexus powders so they can win trips to beach resorts, she's absolutely lost her mind.

I was thinking yesterday how the Rod home church folks much love it when the grifters are off to.... well, anywhere else.

I laugh that Jill is ok with re posting the plexus crap that shows women in sleeveless tops. She has friends/followers who are menfolk. What if they suddenly like need to go out to their workshop or whatever upon seeing a woman's bare shoulder??? Wouldn't that be considered placing a stumbling block in front of a fellow christian or something??
