I think the post is really cute and I think it's wonderful that Jinger seems to really enjoy watching Felicity growing up and developing her own personality. IMO that really sets her apart from the other Duggar parents. I also don't think they use Felicity as a "prop". There is no difference between Jinger and Jeremy's use of instagram and the other parents I follow on there. Personally I would never post a picture of my child on any social media platform, public or private but I know that many, many people disagree with me these days.

I also don't see the problem with the Mozart concert. It was his birthday. IMO you don't have to study on your birthday evening / night and how amazing is a concert like that? I would enjoy a gift like that very much.

Tough crowd!  She's wearing modern shoes with closed toes, pants, and a shirt that literally calls back to her family's ridiculous rules and there are still 35 things wrong with what she's doing.

I’m not sure I believe Jinger even writes these posts herself.

She writes the first draft and then hands it off to Pastor Studly to proofread.  3/4 of what we end up reading is written by PS.

I agree. 

Guess what couples that age post, in my community?  Pics of their kids. 

Guess what couples that age post, in my community?  Pics of food they eat & coffees they drink.

Crazy how bizarre Jing & Jerm are for posting that stuff too!  Almost like normal people!  *LOL*

Most of the time I don’t think their using her as a prop but now and again I’ll see a photo (usually Jeremy’s) where she looks like the prop sadly.

Except they're posting it to a million followers with obvious plugs for various freebies they've gotten.  I know a lot of folks who post that stuff too, to maybe a couple hundred others total, all close family and friends.

We're talking apples and oranges when comparing Jinge/Jer's social media presence to the typical millennials.

That's illogical though. So because they have followers they shouldn't post things that would normally be a focus for a couple their age? I'm curious as to what people would like to see from them. If they just posted messages about church and religion related things, I think they would get lambasted. So they post a lot about "fun" stuff they are doing, and they are lambasted. What should their social media look like? Or is the argument that they shouldn't be on social media at all?

My friends post all kinds of pics of their kids. Usually with nothing written with the picture or maybe one line. The birthday posts are usually accompanied by, is walking, loves peaches, says dada, etc. Very much like an online baby book.

J's & J's posts don't feel spontaneous at all. They definitely feel staged. The posts feel very purposeful in setting a tone and image.

To me, it is illogical to think it is one and the same to post that stuff to a million virtual strangers vs a circle of friends and family one knows personally.  Most celebs, at least those who aren't trying to monetize their internet presence, don't post much about their kids at all on their public pages, and if they do, they are careful with how much they share.  I presume many of them have private Instagram and other accounts known only to their friends and family where they post privately for those who know them personally.

When I read the captions on Jinge and Jer's posts, they sound to me like they are targeting them at strangers, people who don't know them but are following them mainly because Jinger is a Duggar.  None of what they post reads like anything that would be directed at JimBob and Mechelle or Jinger's siblings.  It's all generic and put through the same meat grinder as other 'influencers' trying to make a buck.

I say let them enjoy every free coffee, luxuriate in every free hotel room, reap every reward, raise that cutie kid, collect every follower and take advantage of every underwritten trip they can.  Good for them figuring out how to do it all!

I'm happy with my life far away from theirs, so their activities have ZERO impact on me, aside from providing some amusement down here in the cheap seats. 

I just don't take everything they do personally.

Jinger has been put through the wringer for her entire life because of the circus her parents  chose to live in.  She’s more or less living life the only way she knows how to live it, with a couple of concessions for the way she dresses and where she lives.  They probably know they’ll get snark no matter what they post (see all of the Duggar girls once they got social media), so why not get free stuff out of it and live the best life Jinger has lived?  Are they being phony and hypocritical?  Yes.  Are they any different than the other phony and hypocritical social media posters?  Not really.   I’ll take their Instagram life over political, racist, and judgemental posts.

EXACTLY. And they make money from their IG/Blog. So by featuring Felicity, YES they are using her to make money. 

I personally know every single Facebook friend I have. I very occasionally post pictures of my daughter ( and it's usually a picture of the three of us, on holidays) . I still sometimes wonder if that is ok. JInger is just doing what she was taught growing up, sadly.

Of course, if I felt compelled to have my picture taken as often as a lot of the Duggarlings feel compelled to have theirs taken (and for consumption by millions of people, to boot), I think I'd probably stand stiffly and smile funny quite a bit, too... I mean, how can you keep from thinking, "This again?"

Is that picture recent? Jinger looks great, but yes, those smiles are very strained and forced.

Doesn't look like recent hair to me....

I have to laugh over the fake smiles. One of my sons, the oldest male grandson-19- and now the 16 year old granddaughter do it too.  I say “stop with the fake picture smile”. So maybe it’s not unique to the Duggars. And y’all know I am not a fan.

Jinger has made a few videos in her insta stories of Felicity walking. They actually are really cute. They went to see Jeremy at "school" and she was waving at someone and even said "hi". She's adorable and is loving walking.

Lissy is Miss Personality!  When she walks by that office and waves and says “Hi!” to the person, my heart melted.  I love that little girl.  I feel the same way about Gideon.  They’re both precious.

Hence the value to advertisers and big tech of the new "disappearing" media. We have to keep checking back all the time to make sure we don't miss anything we'd like to see....

All so very true.  I don't want to miss anything.  I "curious watched" the Duggars for years so long ago.

The paps caught Jinger in short shorts yesterday. They weren't hoochie level, but they weren't pedal pushers either. Lots of thigh was exposed. If Boobchelle saw the pics, they would have stroked out, especially Mechelle.

I saw the pics. By Duggar standards she might as well have been wearing Daisy Dukes.

They look like regular shorts to me.  They aren't bermudas, but they aren't short where there is danger of butt cheeks hanging out like Daisy Dukes or booty shorts.  They're kind of mid-thigh and only an inch or two shorter than some I wear.

Yeah, I m ancient and I wear some shorts that are only a couple inches longer than that, too. (and around the house some that are even shorter, come to think of it). But I'm pretty sure people are saying short shorts "by Duggar standards," not by the standards of any of us normal people. And -- more to the point -- also quoting the  several headlines and gossip-rag social-media posts today that have breathlessly billed them as "short shorts"! 

I confess I was surprised when I read a "short shorts" headline, then saw a photo and saw they were actually just "shorts." 

But for people who have insisted on sewing pillow slips to the hems of skirts that skim the knee or even hit 'mid'knee" and refuse to let small girls go out in 95-degree weather even in bermuda shorts or a skirt without leggings underneath it, I'd say those five-to-six-inches-above-the-knee shorts on a grown woman definitely qualify as "short shorts." Meeechelle and JB wouldn't let the skinniest four-year-old girl on the planet go out in shorts of that length on the hottest day ever recorded, unfortunately.

Is Reverend Useless just standing there watching her as she's loading something into the vehicle? How chivalrous! LOL

About the shorts--yeah, I'm sure her parents are flipping out about that, but I think she looks nice in them.

But why is she wearing shorts and him a suit?  He must have been on a break from school and met up with her for lunch. I’m glad that she’s been able to so easily shed her upbringing - it gives hope for the siblings left at home and tells me that she never really internalized at least the outer trappings of her cult.

TLC preview for next season of Counting On is up.

In it, there is a Jinger/Michelle TH with Jinger wiping a tear. It's edited to look like they are addressing the "Jinger wearing pants" controversy, but for all I know the actual show will have that footage be in reference to Mary's death or something like that.

The Duggars have forever preached their modesty standards. Its obvious that Jinger has adopted her own standards. She has exposed her clavicle and shoulders, then her knees and now her thighs.

Instead of saying Nike, Jinger is now a Nike. What a slippery, slippery slope. Next thing you know she'll be the centerfold in Men's Eye-Trap Magazine wearing a skirted one piece bathing suit.

I hope JB & M are at home hanging their heads in shame for failing Jinger in this way.
