Timothy got a shout out because he brought scrumptious sweet rolls. Not himself, who cares but because he brought food! 
 

and Jill knows the word scrumptious???

I wondered that too, but it's probably somewhere in the Plexus talking points dictionary.

She probably bought a January discount rate at the gym that she'll cancel Feb. 1. They're gone most of February in Florida. No way she keeps up a gym membership.

Jill will be too busy eating out on the Keller family dime. Who cares if they soon will have 3 kids? Spending $ on Mahmo is more important!

Yup, Honor thy father and mother and all that, per KJV 1611.

Sofia is 8yrs old, reading a book for a kindergarten age student and her mama is so proud. ☹️ 

Nothing against Sofia. Hey mama, a few sessions of homeschool, just so you can film for content is cheating your children!

Oh sure you get "plenty of new books". Every book you've ever shown your children using is falling apart. That book with Ronald Reagen talking about morals was surely just hot off the press. (not dave's press, because he only does the smiley garbage)

[BetyBee]

What Jill finds especially charming about Sofia, is how much she reminds her of her favorite person - JILL!

[oliviabenson]

Oh myyy lol. She is definitely showing off her oral skills to her future husband. 
 

Hey Jill that’s not what you look like!

My son was a very early reader. He could have read that at age 2. I feel like she should be reading something a little bit more advanced at her age. I work at a library and kids her age are reading chapter books, not necessarily picture books.

I never post…..but Sofia……. Oh my. At that age I was reading Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, Nancy Drew, Little House on the Prairie, etc.

And still Jill is clearly neglecting her twinny Sofia. Sofia does look like Tim aka Mahmo. 

When is the last time a doctor seen Sofia? Poor kid looks unwell.

[GeeGolly]

Sofia should be in third grade and Janessa in kindergarten. That book is a kindergarten reader. No word on the page is more than three letters. Janessa should be reading that book.

With that said, at least Sofia is learning to read.

I also think it is more appropriate for Janessa. 

 

[oliviabenson]

Jill can take them to the library for newer books but the library is ebil.

These kids are so stunted it’s a tragedy.

[CalicoKitty]

Reading all these books has done nothing for Teacher Jill's grammar skills.  The book Sofia is reading is certainly Kindergarten level.  At least she is getting some attention and learning to read at least basic words.

My daughter was a very early reader, too.  Poor Sofia will be lucky to read at 6th grade level, when she's an adult, with Mahmo as her "teacher."

Sure, Jill.  Keep your kids undereducated, so they'll always be under your thumb.  ☹️

Yep. For narcissists, their children are simply an extension of themselves. 

[oliviabenson]

She has 29 kids she could have bought many books since they all would share them. Once again Jill is too cheap!

I bet they have 10 books that are as old as Nuri.

At age 8, I had already finished the whole Nancy Drew collection. . .

Everyday is Mother’s Day to Jill 

[crazy8s]

I looked back at Jill's posts about schoolin the children. I was particularly looking for one where Jill was getting ready for a getaway with her man, and was getting to school work sorted for Nurie, Kaylee, Renee to teach while they were gone. There was a small ziplock bag for Sophia with a book like the one shown today. The written instruction was "read one page each day"

I did not find that one, but 2 other interesting ones came up.

One is Sofia reading in Dec 2020. Not much progress in 3yrs. She is being cheated out of an education by her parents.

The other is Jill showing the stacks of books for the new school year in Sept 2017. Phillip is in 8th grade, Samuel in 7th, Gabe in 6th.

Phillip has "graduated" and been off to bible college for 2yrs.

Shouldn't Sam be graduated by now and Gabe this year??

She is keeping Sam at home and in the band for grifting purposes.

SAME!

The last two kids I watched were reading chapter books at 8 years old.

When my son was about 5 or 6, he received the Thomas the Tank Engine collection of the original stories, over 400 pages. There were illustrations of course but a lot of text. He would sit in out recliner and read for hours. 

[AstridM]

ONE page per day, Jill?? 🤦‍♀️

Yea, that made me cringe. I would say a book a day, but the Rods place very little value on education so I'm not surprised. 

[oliviabenson]

How many chores do the kids do a day? I

imagine one page a day is all they can muster.

[GeeGolly]

Starting around age 6 or 7 I read every night until I fall asleep, as do my kids and husband. Books are something to climb into and enjoy. It pains me when some parents and some teachers make it feel like a chore.

Has Jill shown any non school books that are threadbare? We had Golden Books with goldless spines because not only were they read to the kids repeatedly, but they "read" them on their own all the time.

Do they even have any well worn kids' Bibles?

Referencing those photos of Plexis Jill...oh my! Those are certainly NOT photos of the "modest, good Christian woman" that Jill claims to be. They are way too sexy and yes, she looks nothing like this. Too much photoshopping going on here...Isn't there something in the bibles that are against deception? Jill is deceiving her public regarding her appearance.

I wonder if this is part of the reason she does not go on the cruises.  People would not recognize her in person based on the photos she posts.

These morons did the Shitty Shitty Bang Bang one too many times, and that's why they have 13 kids who will never be properly educated.  

And, based on the picture of all the kids warming her heart (gag), someone needs to tell Jonathan that he doesn't have to have his arm around Kaylee 100% of the time.  She's his broodmare wife, not his possession 🙄.

Those poor girls. Forced to cosplay Little House on the Prairie. While BME shoots laser beams out of her French braid.

The dresses patterns would look great on a couch. 

Jill doesn’t work she “works” aka pretends to be busy while her maids do all the work 24/7.

(And Kaylee) and the other girls don't know anything but what BME and her hunk tell them. Even the Amish, who Jillybean so admires, let's their kids out to see what the world is like! Jill would never allow that!

Exactly.   AndKaylee only knows how to parent from what Jill has modeled.   She doesn't know any other way.   She hasn't been allowed to see any other way.   Hopefully, Heidi ,who seems to have been raised in a non completely bat guano home, can model better parenting.    She and Timmy seem to have already drawn some boundaries that they are enforcing with Jill, let's see if it continued when the babies start arriving.

Mahmo take pitchers of us wearing new clothes!

Note to Australian "followers" - Jill prefers that you send a check or money order in the future. Mahmo will then decide how the money gets spent. Surprise! She always opts to spend it on herself!

Mahmo always needs new wigs and makeup and scrumptious meals at the nice Burger King and Olive Garden!

Hair question, is that actually a French braid? Wouldn’t it be the opposite, if that makes sense?

Yes, its inverted. They braided under, rather than over, which is a Dutch braid.
