Ok, watched it. Can’t stop laughing at the first few seconds when Fern is holding a pair of handcuffs. Then they are swiftly taken from her, as if Jessa will think we might think they are her and Ben’s. 🤣🤣

Other then that, boring. 

RIP Birtha. 😂

Henry looks so much like Gideon, except for the nose. Fern had no idea how to eat a smash cake. I'm not into a giving kids sugary treats all the time, but has she ever had a cupcake?

IMO, smash cakes are one of the dumbest ideas ever.  I’ve never understood the appeal.

Fern was flicking green icing all over and you just know it got splatted on the floor, the sides of the high chair, curtains, walls….  So gross!  Messy!  We just gave our one year olds a sliver from  the real cake.

Jessa doesn't like cake, so no one in her family gets cake.

She's really a killjoy isn't she?

It's the Big House. I doubt the frosting would be noticed.

She's wholly without humor or enjoyment in, well, anything.

I watched the vid...Jessa is so disengaged..no animation. she needs to watch Daphne Oz for pointers..its like she puts " do a video" on the list..and hurries through it as fast as she can..then she marks it off the list and moves on...

Does anybody really think Jessa has an actual "To Do" list?

I can see Jana having one, especially if it's a Magnolia Market "To Do" list, purchased from Joanna Gaines herself.

She’s just happy people are still clicking and watching her dull videos so she makes more $$. She has no incentive to change until she loses clicks.

Not sure who else was there.

J'Tyler was helping Jordyn put the cake on the high chair. A random toddler was wandering around who was probably Maryella. In the still pic of Boob and Meech with Fern in the montage at the end, there are two little girls sitting in the distance behind them with their backs to the camera-- one is probably Fern, but the other was super blond. Might have been Maryella again, but the hair looked lighter and more abundant, so maybe one of Kendra's girls?

The constant "Fernie"s in the video got to me a bit, but Jessa only called her "sis" once, so that's an improvement. The stark white playhouse with its neutral tassel accents was just sad. Give your kid some color! Fern is adorable, though. As was Henry and all his helpfulness; he even got to be the cameraman at one point and was narrating his shot choices!

I heard “sis” at least twice and that was two times too many. All the Fernie Wernies was annoying too. It was amusing when Jessa referred to the decor of the little house as fitting in with the decor of the rest of the house, ie bland and boring.

I think they went for that little house because it is just plastic pipes and cloth and can be taken apart and stashed away easily if they want to use the space it is taking up, which is a fairly big area in the living room.

I’ve seen the same little house pop up in a few other “influencer” videos. Someone mentioned that it was a Prime Day special for $60.

On what brand? Her house decor is a brand? She’s full of nonsense words and phrases like Jinger, and both sound ridiculous.

And there it is. Her “brand” is completely humdrum and run-of-the-mill. Sounds about right.

[madpsych78]

The highlight of that video was Henry. He does appear to adore Fern, perhaps more than Ivy or Spurge. 

[CalicoKitty]

That playhouse is cute.  When I was small, my aunt sewed a "house" made out of cloth that fit over a card table.  It had a door flap that opened.  It was easy to store away because you just had to collapse the table and fold the material.  It was fun.

That is the bigger one Fern will move up to in a few years, after she sells the starter home in a yard sale.

Mostly they didn't even seem to bother with a box... the doll carriage got covered with a random rug and blanket. Like, I realize she's a baby and doesn't really get the concept of wrapping, but it was still hilarious to see them grab the blanket when they realized the rug was too small.

He recognizes her as another "second" (second girl), lost kid, and realizes they need to band together. Hope they escape the cult together someday, too.

Please indulge me while I continue to laugh my ass off over this. Jessa is nothing if not predictable.

[Trillium]

Someone needs to tell Jessa that “basic white girl” isn’t a brand. Not that everything is ugly, some of it I might like. However I’m aware how super basic it is, not pretending it’s my “brand”. Lordt

Those two could make Fifty Shades of Grey look boring. 

Jessa has always been no fun. None of the Duggars are fun, but she's really bad at it. Even JBoob and Jchelle have creepy smiles. 

Does every married Duggar have a kissing picture of them and their spouses in their homes?

Fern is probably Henry's "buddy" whereas Ivy is Spurge's.  

[ranchgirl]

I just watched the video.  The handcuffs make another appearance around the 2:57 mark when Jessa is talking about the "door" to the playhouse can be tied back.  The handcuffs are hanging right by the "door" and Ivy jiggles them.   

Also, during cake time at the big house, Jim Bob says, "Its a girl" at one point and Jessa does a voice over that says, "That's not an announcement".  Weird.  There is a blonde little girl standing with Ivy when Fern gets the cake.  She has a pacifier in her mouth.                            Is that Maryella? 

[Madtown]

Jessa has a video on Instagram. Here are some screenshots. She made it seem it was a rough go at homeschooling and she needed to go out with them and get coffee. The kids did some school work, Spurgeon has mismatched socks on and he danced with Ivy. Everyone loved the mismatched socks in the comments.

Two comments that cracked me up.
One was a lady that said:
"Good for kiddies to be with other kiddos and a teacher too"
Jessa said back:
"They get to socialize with people of all ages, which is beautiful! And their class teacher/student ratio is 1:4, which is pretty fantastic. Lots of one on one time and attention to each individual."

Another person asked. "Is Jessa pregnant?"
Her response: "No she is not pregnant. Unless you know something she doesn't"

[Cinnabon]

Jessa knows absolutely nothing about education.

Does Ivy ever get her hair combed?  It looks like a snarly mess.

Those are natural curls!!   Just like Spurgeon's rat nest.

It needs a morning detangler or leave in conditioner spray and gone through with a good wet brush.  Probably some styling would help it look better through the day.  

[Lady Whistleup]

Jessa is so defensive about the homeschooling. 

[auntieminem]

Spurge and Ivy dancing again.  Maybe she should put them in dance lessons. They could be the next Derek and Julianne Hough and get on TV again.

You're a teacher, right? As a teacher myself, I am appalled at her "education." She's just throwing workbooks at them.

Yes I’m a teacher. It makes me sad that Spurge is 6 and still coloring workbooks.

I blew up the picture to try and get a look at his workbook. Looks like he might be doing shape matching. That's tomorrow's lesson in my kinder class.
