Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House

"Thanks for making me go on Fox News and minimize what was done to me."

"Thanks for instilling the belief in me that I could give birth to a big baby at home and nearly bleed to death."

"Thanks for not educating me, it's saved me so much heartache."

[louannems]

Thanks for trading in my education for suitcase -packing skills, and color coordinated wardrobe skills.

This RIDICULOUSLY LONG love letter from Jessa to Daddy is sort of a FU internet letter!  Canned butter beans with ketchup!  BBQ canned tuna?!?

Wow, that's a whole lot of thankfulness related to god. One would think 3 or 4 lines would cover it but 50+ ? lol. Clearly Jessa is trying to prove that she 'is too' well educated and articulate. Too bad she's also  a redundant lousy liar.

[Sew Sumi]

Thanks for setting me up with the teenage toilet scrubber. I couldn't have chosen a guy more easily dominated.

I'm actually surprised she used the word 'summation'.

 

 

"for forgoing the common holiday focal points and making Christ's birth the center of our Christmas, and His life, death and resurrection the summation of our "Easter" celebration."

[Sew Sumi]

In that context, it's fundiespeak she's probably known since she was packing for her first family trip to ATI camp.

My lord, she's pompous. The judgement simply oozes out of her words.

Is this list with a dominant gawd theme a thing now? Derelict started this crap.

Maybe the Duggars are trying to start up a Christian Buzzfeed with all these lists. I'll start them off.

Looks like Jessa's pissed now that Jinger's announcement took Ms Stank out of the news.

Jessa is pissed!  She's gonna one-up by showing off Spurgeon 's crawling!

Typical Jessa, but dang that baby is cute!

He is a lively happy cutie.  I hope they don't knock it out of him.

I knew she'd do something like this. I called it...Hi 5, Louannems!  That kid us so darn cute tho.

[Sew Sumi]

Jessa is so darned predictable, isn't she? She just can't help herself. 

[Arwen Evenstar]

She just can't...

What on earth is wrong with this family?? I realize there's no answer to that. But if you are choosing your daughter's husband and you already have 2 unemployed bums as sons in law, do you really sign up a 3rd one? I'm not criticizing him getting cut/giving up on soccer. He obviously worked hard to play D1 and play professionally. But sometimes you get hurt, get old, or there are new kids on the block and careers end. It doesn't seem like he's playing now -- though who knows maybe he's on the tail end of a career and will get to squeeze out another yr or two on limited contracts.

I've know guys who were drafted to the NFL and then for one reason or another were cut before the season started. 100% the difference between those who are doing well/productive and those who are just lolling around re-living their glory days -- was how quickly they put together a plan and executed. Those that were able to say -- that was great, I'm glad I got to play in the NFL for 4 months, most guys don't even get that, but now it's time to put my degree to use and build a career -- just overall became productive adults. Here it seems like he hasn't played in 2+ yrs. What exactly has been doing? A BS ministry? And I say it's BS bc if he was an actual minister with a seminary education, he wouldn't be ministering via Seewald YouTube videos. He probably met Seewald somewhere along the BS ministry road and decided -- this dude's life isn't bad. He doesn't work, doesn't pay bills courtesy of his father in law and he bangs his hot wife all the time, sign me up with one of her sisters bro. Of course when Ben told Jessa, Jessa made sure to line up her bestie Jinger bc she's hot and attitudy, as compared to Jana who Jessa considers a dud -- bc she doesn't see her classic beauty or nurturing wifely qualities.

Spurgeon isn't alone with the terrible name.

Jinger Vuolo. 

That is really bad.

I looked into what Jeremy does and posted about it over in the "Lonely J's" topic. 

[Sew Sumi]

There are links to his church, preaching, and testimonies from members who prayed away the ebil ghey. This guy is nuttier than a fruitcake. Otherwise, prime Duggar material. THANKS BEN! 

[sometimesy]

That Spurgeon is so happy and cute. He is like a baby seal on an iceberg, just flopping along and making squeaky noises, haha.

I dunno. I suspect that these two are so blatantly inaccurate that even Jessa couldn't write them down.

[Tabbygirl521]

I think it will be odd/interesting/entertaining if this ever-growing squadron of preachin' SILs are spewing different versions of whatever their so-called religions are. I doubt we will get consistent messaging from each as an individual, let alone with each other. Will the Littlest Duggars pay attention and become confused? Will they begin to realize that differing, if still weird, belief systems exist and are being tacitly condoned, since these boy preachers have been allowed into the family? Do I need some coffee so I can start making sense about this?

I get what you're saying. I think ultimately boob would wrangle them all in of they go too far off the reservation.

Taking my reply to the Old Time Religion topic.

[parisprincess]

I just read Jessa's list and had to snicker at most of them, especially where she thanked JB for reminding the kids to "treat others how you'd like to be treated" and teaching them "the value of hard work".  In reality, he taught them to have no tolerance for anyone who doesn't share their religious views, and the only two of the adult kids who have ever worked are Josh and JD.  None of the others have ever had a job, and now it looks like they've added three more guys to the unemployed Duggar family.  What a bunch of overachievers, said no one ever!

[Arwen Evenstar]

Thanks, Dad, for humiliating all my brothers for being curious about their own bodies. 

[Marigold]

So jessa is quiet on social media since the big JinJer announcement?

That's not like jessa. Did I miss something? 

[auntieminem]

She did post the video of Spurge kinda crawling and I saw today there was a video of her fixing a rather odd baked ground meat with sweet potatoes and onions.

Here is the potato video!

[Muffyn]

Do  people usually eat the skins on sweet potatoes?  If so, shouldn't you scrub them first?  Also, the meat blobs are so overcooked they could be used as hockey pucks.  I guess the idea of cooking the potatoes and onions for a while, then adding the meat was too much to handle.  Guess I won't be dining at Chez Spurge.

[Arwen Evenstar]

Chez Spurge...love it!!!

What Spurge was doing is called creeping.  It's a stage before crawling. 

[lookeyloo]

I had trouble with the video but saw up to the part she put the ground beef in.  I wash my sweet potatoes before we bake them and coat them in olive oil, bake at high heat, and then we eat the entire thing, skin and all.  Delish.  I will give the Seewalds this amount of credit - they are eating fresh food, not fried.  Looking at the two of them, seems like they are trying to be their version of healthy.

[Catlyn]

I don't think Jessa likes cooking. The way she handled the knife and meat was awkward. Why not wash the potatoes and onions, cut up, season them and put in the oven for baking. Just brown the meat (not quite done) and then mix the whole thing together and finish baking. The meat wouldn't be over done and would be able to be mixed thoroughly through the potatoes.  I guess in the TTH they need things fast and it would be one less pan to wash.

Yeah, she handled that knife as though she thought it was going to turn around and attack her. I was surprised she didn't lose her grip on it. She definitely doesn't seem comfortable around kitchen implements yet, so one has to wonder how much actual cooking she has done since being married. Surely it has been long enough that if she was chopping ingredients every day or two she would have gotten to the point of doing it more by muscle memory than trying to figure out how to finagle that knife and not cut herself...

[Marigold]

Jessa has done 2 or 3 cooking videos now. It's definately a way for her to stay relevant. Buuut, I smell a cookbook!

Teresa Giudice style: I couldn't even boil water when I got married and here is how I learned to cook. You can too!!!!

Jessa can throw together some sloppy recipes and it will sell.  Not a best seller but it will pay the bills. Hey, maybe even Sierra with her awful desserts.  

Something is up with the cooking videos...

[Henri205]

Looked like a greasy mess.  And I could be wrong but were those disposable plates?  GRRRRR.  

[Barb23]

All's I got from the cooking video was poor Spurge.  Being squeezed in that chair with his chubby legs didn't look comfortable.  He wasn't complaining (crying) but he's probably used to being in it.  At least he was on the floor & not teetering on a countertop or table.

Just keep throwing shit against the wall until something sticks, I guess.

That's not a recipe. It's a crime against nature.

[BitterApple]

What the fuck is that recipe supposed to be? It looks like two day-old hamburger patties crumpled up and thrown on random vegetables. Jessa's struggle dish is the stuff Internet memes are made of.

Why doesn't she just buy a beginner's cookbook?

$5 says she's involved with Jinger's wedding food somehow. I smell chexmix and flat RC Cola!

[Arwen Evenstar]

You think Jessa is trying to get on Food Network?  They have a large crop of LGBT chefs and company employees, so she'd gave to keep her trap shut, but who knows maybe if she actually befriended a gay man, she might get in touch with her humanity and change her outlook.  Funny how selective they are when money is involved! The  same network they prostitute themselves to has a show about Jazz, a transgender teen, another group of people they don't like. Oh the hypocrisy of it all!
