I am profoundly uncomfortable with their new-found constant staging of their daughter posing behind an umbrella, or a photo showing only the back of her head, given what Jinger's monster of a brother is in jail for.  Do they truly not get it?  If they want to shield their children - who have NOTHING to say about what they're doing - THEN SHIELD THEM.  Stop giving teases to thousands of followers, the vast majority who are strangers to them.  It boggles my mind every time I see something like this on their stupid page.

Also, did Jere delete the IG image of him sitting somewhere with a blanket over his head, captioned "I have a three-year old?"  Same sentiment applies even without a carefully crafted photo of Felicity.  Jeremy could be playing with fire.  Even if the odds are 0.0000001% that a disturbed fan is following them, those odds are still too high when it comes to their daughters.  I do not understand why Jeremy continues to insist on teasing his children to a huge group of strangers.  He is not protecting them, he is using them for clickbait.

/rant, but man, this makes me so mad.

Further proof that he's not very bright or very informed. And especially that he's so fixated on asking "Will this make me famous? Will this get me more clicks? More clicks! More famous! More clicks!" that he doesn't concentrate on anything else. 

I read several interviews with him when he played soccer -- from when he played in Finland and in New York. And in those interviews, he turned nearly every question toward the angle "I'm going to be a famous athlete that's hugely influential and that everybody knows."

His interest in talking about the actual sport was clearly quite low. Instead, he was fixated on how he was about to become this super-influential really famous guy that everybody would look up to. It was odd, to me anyway, to see sports stories with such a very strong focus on that (especially when the athlete in question wasn't yet actually famous or influential at al -- seems like most people are at least a little more cautious about yapping endlessly about how highly they value fame and how great for the world it is that they're famous when they haven't yet got any fame ....but not Jer)

And now I think we see the same thing over and over in his media presentation and his behavior, with his drive to become some really famous guy pretty clearly swamping all other considerations. To the point that he doesn't even seem to notice the other considerations that might exist. As here, with this repeated teasing of the girls to viewers.

His beard needs a trim. Doesn't he have a barber to the rich and famous on call?

So did anyone win this contest?  What's the prize?  A copy of The Hope We Hold, only lightly stained with mustard and mayo?

My guesses:

Biggest Dream: to grift every single thing we can, up to and including our girls' college education, breakfast lunch and dinner forever, Jeremy's hair plugs, unlimited pocket squares and fountain pens (natch), our own luxury airplane (not some raggedy Duggar cast-off hunk of crap), 365 pairs of new shoes per Vuolo per year, a home in Malibu, and Jeremy's face on the cover of GQ.  Additional items to be added as we think of them!

Our Fave Movie to Watch Together: whatever Jeremy tells Jinger that they are going to watch together!  Trick question, homeslice!

Fave Food to Eat When We Go Out: hahahahaha dude whatever's free, yo.  You know how we roll, bruh.

What Did We Want to Be When We Were Kids: Jeremy - a world-famous foodie influencer /model/pastor with a church the size of Rhode Island and a two-hour per day workweek (including lunch).  Jinger - my wife!  Hahahaha no seriously, that's truth, yo.  Peace!

Will play pickleball for food. 🙄

"So we're into pickleball now" made me laugh harder than it should have. It seems like Jeremy ends up abandoning all of his "interests" pretty quickly. I guess this is what happens when you use them as a substitute for having a personality.

Nevertheless, all his boytoys and Phase 10 cards and sriracha bottles weep in the corner, neglected.

He's been counting on one of them to magically win him a an extra 2 million followers, none of whom was already following Jingle. 

But each thing he tries disappoints. 

Can't figure out why this doesn't work.

Jingerbread shaped….

Remember the Fonuts? Lol.

[iwantcookies]

See we remember Felicity exists.

[Jeeves]

The specially shaped food got me thinking. I wonder if MOTY Michelle ever did things like that for her kids. Maybe when she only had a few of them. But I can't imagine that after the baby train started really rolling, she had the time or energy to do more than plop food down in front of her toddlers, while shoving spoonfuls of food into the one(s) still too tiny to eat on their own. And that assumes she hadn't handed the whole job off to one of her young daughters already.

AFAIK Michelle got off on being pregnant and nursing young infants. But she herself admitted to not having a "heart for children" - so I don't think of her being likely to indulge a toddler by trying to make the food cute. I see her as more likely to spend her time blanket training those tiny ones with the goal of making them instantly obedient to parental commands.

I wonder if the Sister Moms had the time or knowledge to create cute food for their assigned toddler siblings. 

Obviously Jinger picked up the idea somewhere, and good for her. Maybe she learned it at home as a kid. I don't know.

[GeeGolly]

Bento Boxes and cute food are very trendy right now. There's some crazy talented parents out there. No offense to Jinger but hers is close to a Pinterest fail.

[BradandJanet]

It looks as if Jinger tried to use a gingerbread girl cookie cutter. That worked for the meat but made the bread look like a snowman. 

I was a bad mother. Maybe once or twice I made cute food, but mostly food was served in its normal shape.

It never occurred to my immigrant, working class mom to do something like that and the only people I know now who do it are the ones who do it for for instagram content.

[CouchTater]

One of my sweet childhood memories is of my Auntie Honey (as sweet as her nickname implies) making Micky Mouse-shaped pancakes for my cousins and me for breakfast.  That was over 40 years ago.  She was obviously ahead of her time.🙂

[lookeyloo]

I did that sometimes for my youngest brother being that I am 9 years older. Also did it for my kids and grandkids sometimes. I don’t find it all that unusual. Posting it maybe. I still don’t like these people

Gosh, I didn't mean to imply that making food in cute shapes for toddlers is mandatory for good mothering! Sorry if I gave that impression.

It's just that seeing Jinger's attempts to do that for her kid, got me to wondering how much individual attention the Duggar 19 got when they were toddlers, from MOTY or their assigned Sister Moms. And I don't mean "individual attention" as a response to misbehaving or a blanket training session.

Yeah, same - although my kids loved the dino-shaped chicken nuggets but they came that way, lol.

If Jill did this, I would think - oh, how cute.  When Jinger does it I assume it's just for clicks and comments.  

[Quilt Fairy]

I confess I don't know what toddlers eat, but that is the most unappetizing lunch I could imagine.  Plain salad, plain piece of bread, plain turkey breast.  I hope she at least gets a bottle of designer water so she can gag that down.  

This whole "Moms compete to see who is the bestest super-Mom EVAH!" leaves me amused and exhausted.  I would have been thrilled if my mom cut my sandwiches on the diagonal.  

 

[leighdear]

What toddlers eat depends on the weather, their mood, how long they slept, how they feel about the color brown that day, how tight their underwear is, what mom is eating, if there are cartoons playing, if the plate is the wrong color, if they can count to four, etc, etc, etc.....

And that's just for ONE day.  The rules change every day.  EVERY.DAY.

I don’t think she ever cooked for her kids once the baby train left the station, did she? That was the sister mom’s responsibility, wasn’t it? I think I remember someone saying on one of the shows one of the little girls was hungry and went to MOTY for a snack and Michelle made her go find the sister mom. While Michell was right there doing nothing.

Would only confess this on an online forum and not to anyone I know IRL but I love those dinosaur chicken nuggets too. I don't even have kids who I can blame for me buying them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My granny used to let me and my brother get creative while making bread when we were little, and it was a lot of fun. The only one I really remember was when my brother decided it would be a good idea to make a snake dinner roll. We also did fancy Christmas cookie shapes. It was always in the context of working together on it, though, which is why it is such a fond childhood memory for me. 

I guess what I find strangest about all it with Jinger is making gingerbread man shapes in the middle of summer rather than the holidays. And the try-hard need to share it. Like, are they incapable of just having fun for the sake of having fun?

Both of their daughters are likely to have messed up relationships with food and weight with Jinjer as parents. 🥲 one obsessed with food and one who barely eats

I think Jill and Jinger both do it for the clicks. Although Jill floundered much more in the beginning she never gave up. It seems in almost every post Jill now asks the obligatory Influencers engagement question. Jinger's post do seem more pretentious than Jill's, but I think that has as much to do with their lifestyles, than followers or clicks.

My mom did that!  Mr. X had to visit a neighbor to see sandwiches cut diagonally.  He thinks it's elegant.

Jin has become all about the facade on social media.  I couldn't live like that.  I quit Facebook years ago.  I never shared much (paranoid, doncha know.)  Seriously, the moms today one-upping each other about their "perfect" lives and kids does not in any way appeal to me.  RFP has programmed his Stepford wife well.  

[Suzn]

I just discovered another way in which I was a bad mother!  I don't remember ever fixing cute food.  I don't think it ever occurred to me and certainly wasn't anything I saw as a child.

Expectations keep ratcheting up.

[crazy8s]

mr crazy8s always worked late on friday"s when our kids were young. from about age 4 on it was cook/create your own dinner. They went through a cooking cutter phase, but they did the cookie cutting of bread cheese etc themselves. As they got older and their cooking ability increased there were shaped pancakes. snowmen, spiders, snakes, mickey mouse. one child ventured into using food coloring and the various colored scrambled eggs often looked like vomit to me, but she cooked them herself and ate them every time.

My aim was to get them to learn about the kitchen and basic cooking skills. Which they did and had fun. I doubt anyone outside our home ever knew of that though.

Jill's posts of fun food with the boys may be for clicks, but to me seem/feel more authentic because Jill's cooking posts seem like basic cooking posts and we have seen the boys involved in helping with meals. With Jing the pics we see are them with food at a restaurant. Jer posing with a sign or a menu, JIng's prep that is never seen used in a meal. They could have at least got felicity's arm and a cookie cutter in the pic😂

[iwantcookies]

I miss Jinger posing/pretending to cook in fancy clothes in the fancy kitchen 

[BradandJanet]

Do toddlers eat pieces of lettuce covered in creamy dressing? The big salad and the sad sandwich don't quite fit together. 

Maybe it's Jeremy's lunch.

This may be a dumb question, but what do you do with the leftover parts when you cut the cute shapes?  Does that all go to waste?

As @ozziemom noted, we did see MEchelle feeding toddlers straight from a can. While the kid was lying down. I don't have kids, but even I can see that is a potential recipe for disaster. We also saw some Jslave "cooking" instant oatmeal to feed to one of the young kids by putting tepid tap water in it.

[BradandJanet]

Let's not forget the Duggars' famous TaterTot casserole: frozen TatorTots, canned creamed soups, milk, and cheese mixed together and baked in large pans and fed to all. I bet every Duggar daughter--including Jinger--can make that one in her sleep.
