In normal families if the parents are away

kids throw a party and sneak in their boyfriend/girlfriend 

imagine if Jonathan came over to spend time with Kay alone…

 

I hope at least one of those kids tries to do something, anything that Jill forbids while they’re gone. FFS even just watching a heathen reality show.

Maybe this hotel stay was a gift from Jill's church. It would be worth the donation to get rid of her for two days. 

Wonder if Jill bothered to leave any food for the kids at home? 

How many gifts do the other church members and their families get? The Rods must have gotten their share by now.

Good choice! Surely Tim has hidden a couple dollars away for snacks? It’s just not normal for so many kids not to rebel a bit when their parents are out.

Jill doesn't want them to find out that not all moms are batshit crazy Plexus guzzlers.

You know, most parents do not accompany their children on their Senior Trips. But then again, most Senior Trips are for an entire class of 17-18 year olds and not just one kid and his brother. 🙄

I’ve got something for them. 
 

ETA - this comment was supposed to accompany that video of the anti masker.

Our Jellybean would like to debate you. 😃

Anybody else trying to check arrest records for members of the Bates family. It helps to know the first names for the various Bates. Lawson and Gil are both William Bates. Nathan is Kenneth Nathan Bates. 

If you have time and not much to do, you can try it.

I always cringe at how quickly the girls paste a smile on and giggle when BME turns the camera on them. I shudder to think of what would happen if one of them didn't smile on command.

The fact they don’t SAY anything gets me.

Love how Jill highlighted the "meal"of a pot of grease and burnt whatever. What a moment to remember!

It's a lot of the same photos and videos she's posted before. I skipped my way through most of it. There was a nativity play and some other stuff, none of it is worth your time. 

Genetics are a funny thing. I think the mini-Rods are nice looking kids. Some of the younger girls will be stunning. The boys could be really cute if they didn't look so underfed. The girls are victims of their mother's horrible makeup and hair. If they were left alone and got enough to eat, they would be a really nice looking family. Except for the parents.

If they do say anything, it’s in that high-pitched, breathy, giggly voice that gives me major creepy vibes.

I agree. I think most of the Rodlets would be attractive with proper clothes, a good haircut and a little meat on their bones.

Jill is bat shit but a nice looking woman. She has nice features, big doe eyes and decent skin from what I could tell. I can see how she passed on good genetics to her kids. 
 

David is SO unfortunate looking, but I could see him coming from a family of nice looking people and the features just came together “wrong” on him. We were discussing this in The Royals thread- how Grace Kelly (a great beauty) & Prince Rainer (fine as hell even with the hair loss) produced average looking daughters and a seriously homely son.

Oh Prissy. She hasn't changed at all in 10 years. Thankfully, this video is short.

Wow Prissy and TFDW even have matching wrinkles around their eyes! She still looks pretty good, maybe being generally clueless has worked out for her.

Jill just posted about a little boy overcoming eczema. Wanna bet she claims it was Plexus?

He looks like he is wearing pajamas. And omg Prissy sounds like she has marshmallow for brains. She's always been an airhead, but, wow! she sounds so out to lunch here. Like worse than usual.

Okay, so, bathroom + counting… my inner 8-year-old thinks “ha, ha, counting…number one, number two…” oh Jill, you have no idea the inadvertent thoughts you inspire with your Ministry of Counting in the Bathroom…

IIRC wasn't a grandparent the reason that that poor baby (Anchor, Anthym? Idk I can't keep the kids names apart)even went to the hospital. She was carrying on like nothing was wrong with the baby?

I am, too, so fearful for those children. Her husband needs to get her help but doesn't seem to be interested in that.

I can't remember the full story, but yes, she did carry on like nothing was happening. Like, the kid had completely lost the ability to hold her own head up and Karissa just took her to a restaurant to eat lunch. I think you might be right that it was a grandmother at the restaurant who was like "Um what are you even doing?"

I'm sure she left a couple cans of Campbell's soup.

Campbell's is too expensive to waste on kids. Store brand on sale is possible but only two cans. Maybe a loaf of week-old white bread completes the meal. 

I bet Jill loves to show the stay-at-homes photos of the go-carts, chicken wings and pizza, and the hotel. She has no ability to understand how much that might hurt the kids left at home with nothing to do but chores and nothing to eat but what the Not-Nuries can scrape up. As long as Big Momma is having fun, life is great.

oh but Nurie explained this to us while boasting how her great parents came up with the idea of special child of the week. When a sibling comes home with a chocolate bar and eats it in front of them, they are not jealous because it will be their special week too sometimes. Surely the same logic applies to senior trips.

i think they still do that. probably the only time they remember Olivia exists. they have pics of a random kid with them at various coffee shop or whatever.

the link for the Nurie story No Greater Joy is the Pearls - dang i looked at that today. they are apparently now advising doomsday prep.

How are we supposed to know what God has in store for Olivia, if Jill doesn't post about her?

[crazy8s]

olivia is left out all the time in jilly's posts. Hannah has started to be included with the older girls. so watch for her to move up when Kaylee gets married. the 3 younger waifs often appear together in pics. Olivia seems to not belong in either group.

[emmawoodhouse]

And get the poor girl some glasses! She's squinting when she is actually seen in pictures. This has been an issue for a couple years.

[ozziemom]

Bold prediction - we will see a post on SM all about Olivia and how godly, precious and obedient she is - sometime this week. Isn’t JillR usually on her way to Florida to sing and share their ministry by now? Did no one invite her? Did the Kellers figure out how to prevent the Rods from mooching off them?

[Cinnabon]

Why did Philip graduate in mid-January? Don’t her kids usually “graduate” with a group of other homeschoolers?

This was just his senior trip not graduation. The Rods seem to go on this senior trip whenever BME needs a little playcation and time away from the Barndo.

[crazy8s]

watch for Samuel to take his best friend Phillip on his senior trip next year. surely Phillip, who will turn 19 this summer. and Sammers who will be 18 next fall, will still be sleeping in bunk beds in the barndo a year from now.
