I guess her brother in law deserves an award for not cheating on his SEVERELY broken necked wife  now that she's useless  (according to Jill at least ).

I wish I could work up some outrage at JillyRod using her sister's accident (with a bloody freaking picture!) as a way to drum up sympathy FOR HERSELF, but I can't say I'm surprised.

She is vile. Loathsome.

[charmed1]

Where do these people even go besides church, Walmart, or some random Po’ Folks restaurant?  I rarely go into stores or anywhere for that matter, and I can’t imagine how inconvenient it would be for people to drag their entire families with them, let alone concern themselves with other people’s looks or family dynamics. Especially when people are worrying about where their next meal is going to come from.

[riverblue22]

During Covid, aren't people leaving the kids at home most of the time, and sending just one person to the store? I know my 4 year-old granddaughter goes out so rarely that she gets excited about getting to wear her mask somewhere! Jill is beyond narrow-minded~

[iwantcookies]

Jill and family go everywhere as a family of 14. No one stays home . And none of them seem to be wear masks often. I don’t think they stay home often.

This makes me angry. They don’t deserve anyone’s thoughts and prayers for their challenging time. They brought it on themselves and have no shame flouting guidelines and endangering others, and their own children. 

I wonder if any of them have long term damage from covid; that’s more scary than  handling the illness.

Jill, you are a fucking twunt. Families come in all shapes and sizes. I guess she thinks it’s ok for men to be fat, but not women. And that bleached, fried hair and insane hooker makeup is ok, but not blue hair. I hate her.

Jill edited the post to read "sloppy" rather than "fat." She must have gotten a barrage of tubby hubby posts on FB. 

[Oldernowiser]

So Kaylee is a bitch or Mama just put words in her mouth.

They all need To get over themselves. Or in words they might actually deign to read, 

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

Proverbs 16:18

From a Godless Liberal, no less.

[Portia]

Wow, I think Jill's actually outdone herself with the hatefulness of that post. It's more than hateful; it's stupid. You know, my youngest daughter has a beautiful "traditional" family: wife, husband, 8-month-old baby. They're even practicing Christians. But If the Rods visited here they'd never see this correct-seeming family because (a) the parents juggle jobs and childcare, and (b) they mostly stay home because there's a fucking pandemic going. That baby has never been to a restaurant or Walmart. Never.

And what in God's name is wrong with a grandma tagging along? I would think they'd be in favor of multigenerational family activities. 

Edited to add: I kind of wish the Rods would come to town, because if my daughter (the married heterosexual Christian who's also a politically active liberal feminist and a helluva debater) got wind of Jill's homophobic, MAGA, patriarchal nonsense, she'd tear her a new one. And I'd sell tickets.

Fuck Jill. 

Raising her children to be judgmental assholes. Its folks like Jill that make this country divisive.

 

Actually Jill, that tattooed, fat lady with blue hair, out with her mom and friend is not a single mom. She is a babysitter, watching the kids of two dads, who are at work.

Father 👨🏽

Father 🧔🏽

Children 👶🏽👧🏽

I see what you did there, Jilly😄. Throwing your least favourite NotNurie daughter under the bus this time, just like when NurietheOriginal claimed to whine about slutty women dressed in trousers.

You know what? You are overweight, your huasband is morbidly obese. Your children are underfed and dirty, dressed in ill-fitting rags that are filthy. Your house is mismatched, with cracked and broken furniture. Your cooking consists of pizza and the occasional slop. Your make up is frankly both unsettling and horrifying. Your bleached hair needs to be cut off.

..................and yet YOU seriously feel you can judge others? Nah........

Incidentally, if men weren't such arses at lot of the time and would grow the fuck up and face up to their responsibilities, a lot of women wouldn't be quite so much in need. Imagine that. See also under "your obese husband who has no job"

Why doesn’t she see families when out?  That’s bizarre, I see them everywhere. Insulting “fat ladies” when her husband is huge?  And blue hair when she colors hers?  What would be wrong with a baby or children being with a fat parent and their grandma?  I assume everyone in their godly church is thin?  

She looks okay for a mother of 13, but she's packing on some pounds now.  She shouldn't be so judgmental, but then, she wouldn't be Jill.  And yes Jill, I really believe that Kaylee said that about the fat tattooed mother.  Just like I thought that Nurie called women who don't wear dresses sluttish.

How does this harridan know that those "sloppy women with children and grandma tagging along" aren't saved? She presumes way too much. So she's judging based on appearance.

Let's see if we can return the favor to Jill? 

She dyes her hair an unnatural color (for her), she wears sluttish makeup, she has too many children to care for fully, her spouse is morbidly obese and jobless, they beg for food, they don't wear masks when any sensible person does.....any more?

If only lightning struck her computer. Well then the house would burn down and someone might die but that's God's work in action she would say?

Well, what else have the girls heard? All their lives their lives their mother has judged people harshly.  I bet they have never heard her say anything kind about someone who looks different and because they do not go to school they have no other model.

Exactly, if a young child actually said those things; it is indicative of poor parenting that Jill didn't correct her and tell her that criticizing the appearance of others is wrong.

Also, in the 1950's ideal family pic that Jill posted, the mother figure has sluttish bare shoulders.  Jill should've asked Jana Duggar to photoshop a tee shirt under her dress.

Or as King James wrote in Matthew 7:1:  "Judge not, that ye not be judged".

Jill better hope we never run into each other in public because I don't know if I could restrain my temper or my slapping hand. What a hateful, judgmental, evil bitch. She doesn't need to go looking around for Satan, he's staring right back at her in the mirror.

Jill's children struggle daily to please "Momma". Thus, NotNurie will of course make a judgmental comment that she knows will please the everlastingly judgmental Jill. The girl will not have a thought of her own until she is married and even then her thoughts will be those of her husband. I feel so hopeless for those poor, underfed children! And it seems the boys are even worse off than the girls 😞

I have two different friends who lost their husbands to cancer when they were in their 40's and were left with young kids.  And, you know what, I often accompanied them to movies, to dinner, to amusement parks to help handle their kids.  I guess Jill would disapprove.

Every time I read Hosanna's name, my head starts background singing Oh Susanna. 

Mine starts singing a church song from my childhood:

Praise him! Praise him! Shout to the lord with a voice of praise."

Unfortunately, that is the only part of the song I remember and it's going to hang around all day!

I am a grandma.  I love to go out with my daughter-in-law and granddaughters (pre pandemic).  I was not aware this was wrong.  Thank you for enlightening me, Jill. 

By the way, you look like a retired stripper, and you are judgmental, evil, and the anthesis of a real Christian.

Jill, the two kids in the 1950's suburban family are probably the only two the family plans to have. They are not into creating an army for God. They are busy buying electric appliances and televisions, however, as post-war consumerism ramps up. 

A single worker could support a family, buy a small house, and get their kids educated in the 1950's. That's no longer true as capital is being sucked out of the working classes to provide trust funds and stock portfolios for the very wealthy. This is being done in part by the brand of politicians Jill admires. 

Most people then and now want to provide a future for their kids. Jill and her sloppy husband are the real outliers since their children seem to be an afterthought. 

 

[Chicklet]

Most people want their kids to be better off financially as well as educationally, but that's no concern of our hateful Jill. She and tubby only care about themselves. And appearing as "christian" as possible.

Yea in quotes cuz she has no idea of what that means.

[FizzyPuff]

Oh Jilly Bean those two women you saw with a baby were a lesbian couple (I would love someone to say that to her, watch her head explode). Also what’s the problem with a grandma going shopping, with her daughter and grandchild? Don’t even get me started on judging someone’s appearance has she looked in the mirror. 

[Ohiopirate02]

Jill is also conveniently leaving out the time of day she is out shopping.   Dad is at work 11am on a Tuesday and can't go with his wife and kids to Aldi.  Or 2pm on a Thursday.   The Amish men can because they are self employed. 

And also, most 1950s dads did not go with the wife and kids either.   The image Jill used is of a family at leisure. Shopping has never been a family leisure activity,  usually.   I know many families in my area who shop at Walmart together on the weekends.  Jill's argument would have been stronger if her scenario was a Saturday afternoon at the park.  The premise of the meme and her diatribe is still fundamentally wrong though.

[Liddy52]

Jill needs to realize that she has posted pictures of herself and her daughters out at coffee shops, etc. Perhaps people who saw them in the coffee shop thought that Jill was a single mom and judged her just as she is judging others. Not that I really think anyone other than Jill would be that hateful. 

[EVS]

I can see how seeing a grandma with her blue-haired, tattooed daughter and grandchild would be threatening to Jill. It might mean that grandma raised her daughter to be her own person and accepts her for who she is, as opposed to Jill’s conditional acceptance of her children as long as they are obedient robots. In return, the tattooed daughter may want to spend time with her mother even though she probably has friends and a life of her own. Jill’s children, on the other hand, are forced to spend time with Jill, due to their isolation and Jill’s control of them. 
 

As a former teacher, I have seen all kinds of families. I have seen wonderful traditional families and dysfunctional ones. I have also seen many wonderful non-traditional families. One of my best parents was a lesbian raising her ex-girlfriend’s special needs niece. She was a better parent than Jill will ever be. Jill is so threatened by anything that doesn’t fit her narrow views and, IMO, uses her interpretation of the Bible to justify her fears and ignorance.

Jill is everything about the English that the Amish rail against. But as I said before, Jill is a lazy thinker. It would never occur to her that the Amish judge her.

I’m also in Ohio, but not Jill’s area. Our stores have signs stating only one member of a household at a time should be shopping.
