Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)

I like the name Naomi Christine. It's a nice name.

[GeeGolly]

I was reading an article and then it hit me. Sofia and Princess Charlotte are the same age. I realize its kind of like comparing apples and oranges, but the contrast still hit me hard.

Nature, nurture, socioeconomic status...

Who would we all be if we all began life at the same starting line?

More words by Jill:

[ginger90]

Screeching and a room full of people is how “the Keller brothers” met their sister. The screenshot from the video sucks, but it’s Sam and his girlfriend ( I think?)  in the background .

How often is "Watermelon" washed? And did they rip Sofia's lovey from her cold turkey while she watches Janessa get comfort from hers?

Another of my crappy screenshots, but is this Sofia? This is from the video of the boys meeting their sister.

That is her. How often do we see these kids self soothe?

Those "wrestling" videos were so awkward to watch.  And Jill getting all over Jonathan for rooting for Nathan instead of Sam.  I wished he would have said to her, "I'm an outsider too" when she asked him how he could root for the outsider, Nathan.  How does her saying something like that make him (and Nathan) feel?  She said it to Jonathan but about Nathan.   What MIL says, "Get him Sam" when her son is goofing around with her son-in-law.  It's really weird how she pits the siblings and in-laws against each other.  If I had been Nathan and heard her saying those things, I would have asked them all to leave.

Jill is happy when she's pitting the kids against each other.

He really does need to just kick them all out.

Jill is very sick with how much she enjoys pitting people in competitoin with each other.   And everything is a battle to win, not just good natured fun.   Easter Egg hunt -- who can get the most.   Jill giving out her old clothes to her daughters -- fight for the "best" pieces.   Boys wrestling matches (which hello, two them are FATHERS now, they should be past this) -- Get him.    Just vicious.

JFC Jill - GO HOME!

[Minivanessa]

Good grief. Couldn't any member of the Rod circus step up and help Nurie, who is barely post partum, carry that stuff? Could her manly headship have helped?

Of course, we know that Jill could do no such thing because dog forbid she misses a chance to catch video footage of even a minute of "family time." And OF COURSE Jill must also be "snuggling babies" with her young fertile daughter. What a self-centered selfish beetch, can't even let her own daughter have the limelight for a hot minute. "MEE!! MEE!! LOOK AT MEEE!!!"

This is why I hate watching the kids (semi) launch. We sit here trading all these high hopes of who's going to escape, reject fundyinsm whole scale and write a tell-all and instead we just watch kid after kid follow the same sad, messed up patterns. Of course no-one helped Nurie. Forget JOY, they've all lived and learned Mahmo, Yourself, Jesus(performatively).........................Others

It is sad. Jill has spouted for so long about the diligence and obedience of her children. Along with posts of breaking Timothy's spirit through strict and consistent discipline for even the most minor infraction. Then the glowing reviews of how ALL her children honor their father and mother.

None of them will venture far from mama. Heidi will soon be spending all of her days at the barndo while Tim works, just like Kaylee seems to do. Samuel will save enough money to buy a starter house near the barndo for him and his girl. They all will continue to show up for the mandated once a year family vacations with mama.

Nurse looked tired she should be sitting down at home in the air conditioning. Nathan looked like he was annoyed with the trip to the beach.  Probably because he knows Nurie  is tired.   Why didn’t Jill encourage her to stay home and take her older  kids to the beach without her?

Jill would still have her phone in her hand, after digging it out from the bottom of her purse, and do nothing.

Nurie looked tired and frustrated.

Because Nurie staying home from the beach excursion is not in the script for the episode of The Jill Rodrigues Show that Jill was video-ing for social media that day.

Starring Jill. Featuring Favorite Child Nurie and her brand new baby girl - JILL'S FIRST GRANDDAUGHTER!!!! MIDDLE-NAMED AFTER HER!!!! With a large supporting cast of JILL's children, JILL's grandsons, and JILL's sons-in-law.

Because that would involve Jill thinking of someone beside herself. And Nurie and the baby not being there would ruin Jill's photo opp.

She is so incredibly selfish.

JFC Jill - GO HOME!

Not sure where Nurie lives, but virtually nowhere in Florida is more than an hour from a beach.  However, that poor baby is what, a week old?  And Nurie just a week out from the stress of labor and delivery.  And with two other, very young kids who need a lot of care and attention.  Temperatures in Florida have been well into the 90's all week.  There is no way a trip to the beach in that kind of heat was beneficial in any way to Nurie or that little baby.  Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are real and people who are already not in tip top shape are particularly vulnerable, like new moms and infants.

I feel sorry for Jill's other kids, but, since we all know Jill isn't going to be helpful in any dam* way at all, I hope they've at least been helping look after and play with their little nephews who are already experiencing a big adjustment with a new baby in the family.

The last thing Nurie, Nathan or any of their kids needed at this moment was for this plague of locusts to descend upon them.

Then it’s up to Nathan to say something. He’s enabling and allowing this shit. 

[satrunrose]

Yep, Nathan wasn't hanging on to the toddler behind Nurie, or pushing the stroller, or carrying the bag. That's three strikes before we even get to "I'm sorry, Jill, but Nurie and the baby are tired. You can take everyone else to the beach."

[GeeGolly]

I'm guessing Jill is setting Nurie up. She's assuring Nurie's reproductive system and bladder drop. That and she wants pictures of everything she 'created'.

From afar Jill hits every criteria for NPD.

I’m not defending Nathan when I make my comment below - because  he didn’t say no to this in the first place.
 

However, he’s shown in the video behind Nurie.  It appears to me that he had just gotten done dragging  in the big cooler.  Most likely with junk on top of it/ that was sitting beside it in the video. So I don’t think he was doing nothing.   One of the other girls has Newman. 
 

I swear if there was a field anywhere near them, Jill would have Nurie out  in it.  Because Jill thinks it’s sinful for other women to  rest after giving birth.

With luck that selfish gene might run strong in one of the kids, enough to say "ya know what Mahmo, you aren't the center of the universe, I am, see ya later I am out of here."   

[libgirl2]

A week after birth is not necessarily the time to go to the beach. Nurie should be at home cuddling with her newborn and her two children, Nathan at her side. Jill could even be entertaining the little ones and giving them a break. Maybe she could make a meal, help do laundry, clean house.... no instead it is all a big photo op. Sorry, I would tell my mom to go to h--- is she did this. Then again, my mom would have done this. 

When I had my c-section, my mom came over to make meals, help me out with the new baby as my husband had to go to work, even staying over a few nights the first week. She was not an intrusion at all. I loved her more for it. I had never even changed a diaper before, she used to nanny and was such a big help. 

Nurie looks exhausted but Jill doesn't see the discomfort of others, she has no empathy. She is no help. 

Edited July 21 by libgirl2

[andromeda331]

JOY doesn't stand for Jesus no matter what she says. It sands for Jill Others Yes-men/women.

[CalicoKitty]

I can see the post now---"Nurie's strength was restored after childbirth and she was feeling great when she went to the beach with the whole family less than a week after giving birth--thanks to Plexus.  She is taking Plexus regularly, and my new GRANDDAUGHTER is calm and tolerates intense heat and a lot of noise thanks to the Plexus she is getting through mother's milk.  Sign up to be on my team now!"

[Salacious Kitty]

And when Jill panned around with the caption of how the two of them "snuggled babies," the only person holding one (Newman) was Tessie. Naomi was in her carrier, not cuddled by anyone. 

[BetyBee]

I think Jill has never had a close in age friend. She forces her children to be her "BFFs" and pretends that she and Nurie are contemporaries. She has no thought of being a friend or even of being a Mom, whose instinct is to care for her children. She's a real piece of work.

They have not been with the Keller family for a whole month. They were in WV for the 4th of July, where we can assume the Foster family or Ma and Pa Noyes paid.

They also had two grift stops along the way.

But seriously Mama it is time to go back to your beloved Amish country.

This sounds like the time the stink bus was on tour in North Carolina, and Jill was looking forward to visiting TV actor Andy Griffith's "homeplace," Mayberry. That day, everyone, except Jill, but including David, came down with a bad stomach virus. Nevertheless, she insisted they get dressed to go out and do the tourist thing with her. She even had to put on the girl's makeup because they were too sick to do it themselves.

Everyone was miserable, but Jill had a great time seeing the sights and taking lots of pictures. Of course, it wasn't just her idea. In her words: "[The kids] were able to salvage enough strength to go into see the sites. They did NOT want to miss out on Mayberry! – FUN!" Sure, Jill. 

If Jill wants to go somewhere, everybody has to go. She is incapable of thinking of anyone but herself.

Thankfully they were able to pose for mama's camera because they are obedient.

My mom would have made home made chicken soup for me. She would have comforted me. Moms do that.  Jill is just a brood mare. She isn't a mom. Mothers are comfort. Fathers too.  I guess that makes David a stud???? Yuck.
