More proof that Jill smothers her kids’ partners when they are just “courting” and not yet engaged. DIL to be? And since when does she refer to herself as “mom?” It is a welcome change from mama/mamma/momma but I don’t recall hearing “mom” before.

I am quite she was was as self-centered and overbearing as she is now.  I imagine she wasn't too well liked in school.   She is exhausting to be around.   People don't want to be around others who are energy vampires.  But of course Jill would spin it as "persecution" for being so dogly.   Instead, of " you are so annoying, just shut up for 10 minutes would you?"   

I agree.

I suppose the worst case actual scenario was that she was bullied. I suspect that she showed up at cosmetology school after years of being homeschooled and assured she was the dogliest and Jesus' favorite. And interacting with others only at home and at church. Which would hardly equip her to deal with ordinary everyday interactions with instructors and the other students. Especially if her personality was as loud and proud and in-charge as it is now. That could have activated some mean girl measures against her. I'm not an apologist for bullying, but of course we don't know what really happened to Jill. She could be crying "persecution" over just not being included at a lunch table, or being the object of some unfriendly comments, or not be praised to the skies. Or just tolerated by the people around her, and not becoming the teacher's pet in any of her classes.

So chances are, the other students in her Cosmetolody classes were normal. They may have smoked, swore, dressed to trend and overall did not exemplify Jillzilla’s overzealous beliefs. Not to mention, she may have had a male teacher who was “wimpy” and therefore sinful and not worthy of her attention. I can see Jill complaining that none of the students and teachers obeyed her demands to comply with her dress, speech and behavior demands and the school leadership telling her to suck it up or get out. Persecution!!!

I'm hoping  for N'Jilla or N'jillo for a future Nurthling.

Jill was in a vocational ed program so she was among high school students and maybe a few older people. Despite her persecution, she finished the program and received her license. She worked for a short time in her aunt's home beauty salon. Hunk was eyeing her in church, and at some point she gave up the idea of a profession and decided to be a model housewife and mother. 

Personally, I think she has failed at hairdressing/cosmetology, housewifery, and raising children, but that's just my heathen opinion.

Jill is only notable for one thing, which is being willing to do the dance with no pants with her hunk.  She sucked and sucks at anything else she did/does.
