If he had attended 4K, he would already be beyond her teaching.

Jessa is a pathetic hillbilly try hard.

 She doesn’t try THAT hard.

Sprugeon is better off teaching himself. If he were to actually be going to school, he would know how to write all his letters and some numbers too.

Did she photoshop MEchelle's head? Sure looks like it..lol

 

 

[Growsonwalls]

Meechelle's ratty brown hair blends perfectly against that brown couch. Ew.

The look on whichever Seewald sister's face that is looking at her sad mess of a birthday cake is priceless.

[madpsych78]

I think that's Jessica. And young Guinn looks just like Jessica (especially in that third pic). 

You can also see that while Spurge clearly inherited Jessa's hair, he does resemble Ben in the face a little bit.

Either that or Loli is short for Lolipop Head.

I share an anniversary with Guinn and Mike. However, I didn't have a honeymoon baby at age 20. He'll, I was nowhere near ready to marry anyone when I was 20, let alone have a kid.

Baby Ben looks like Archie Markle Windsor

Neither were they. 😁

[ouinason]

That is quite the messy strawberry shortcake in that pic of Ben's family.  Birthday girl looks horrified by the implication that she might have to touch it.  🙂

I think Ivy looks like Jinger 

 

[GeeGolly]

Wow, it took Jessa awhile to do this. She did it with Spurgie practically out of the womb. Ivy's eyes are not deep set like Jessa's, but they do look alike. Much more so than Jessa and Spurge.

"Lolli" always puts this in my head.  MEchelle probably didn't teach about adverbs. Just per-pen-dic-u-lar.

Every time I see one of these posts trying Hard to prove the spawn looks like you (or like this showing a ton of pictures to beat it into the ground) my only thought is, No Shit Sherlock! Of course they do it’s your Fng child!

You can never provide too many recipes for something that doesn't need a recipe. 

 

[GeeGolly]

In true Jessa fashion, after her miserably failed attempt at a cooking video many moons ago, she let's Jill try and figure out the world of SM, waits awhile and then tries again, because she figures anyone will look better than Jill.

[leighdear]

I don't think potato baby looks like Jessa at all, except for maybe eye color.  Poor thing.

I don't either. I think she looks like Bin.

[BOOgen3]

I can’t believe I just sat here and watched someone cut up a sweet potato. With the sound off.

Josie Bates also did an IG story about oven baked fries. Is it the Fundy cooking lesson of the month?

Same thing happened with Jana and Jingle and the dinner-roll recipe a while ago.....Maybe it's a consequence of all that parroting they were taught to do at their Gothard DRT Academies....They're programmed to just follow the leader....

And it doesn't occur to them that posting the exact same thing as other people that your followers also probably follow is not going to make you interesting to anybody....

Jill did the baked fries recipe as well, but a year ago.

I think the Bates and Duggar females don't really know how to cook many things, so they all post the same recipes/cooking videos

I love pretty much everything Spurgie does.  I think he has the cutest little personality.

Yep. And also bored right out of him......He should have friends and be spending at least a little time in groups and in school-type situations by now, in my opinion. But it looks as if he never will. 

Jessa and Bin are doing better than my worst fears for them. They read books to the kids and try to do some enriching things.

But in fact neither of them knows enough or will learn enough about what enriching things there are to do a really good job of that, long term and in multiple subject matters.

Bin's too dim to be of much use educationally, although I do think he means well in that regard.

And Jessa's always going to have her attention divided between Spurge's education and the care of the younger kids. I expect he's going to spend the vast majority of his "school" time sitting at a computer filling in blanks. And eventually it'll bore him silly and make him hate school as much as I think his mother probably does, deep down. 

Send him to school, Jessa. (although I'm sure she doesn't have enough money for that...)

He and Henry are close enough in age it's not too bad. And right now everyone should be social distancing. I also hope the kids are able to go to school at some point later and when things have calmed down.

The cake looks like it got dropped on a floor then put back together. Really sad cake lol.

[GeeGolly]

Well let's hope Ivy and her brothers know more math when they're adults than, I have ## siblings and eleventy million cousins.

[crazy8s]

I wonder if Spurg will get a watch for his birthday

but where would Jessa find a watch for him that runs only on Duggar time??

How old is Ivy exactly? I know she's not yet 1. At any rate, she appears to be on track in this skill.

She turns one in the next couple weeks.

I don't normally bother predicting Duggar pregnancies, but I'm kind of thinking Jessa might be soon if she's not already. I know there was a bigger space between the last two, but... I dunno, just a feeling.
