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

[floridamom]

Those multiple beds are in a clean, cheerful room and are properly built. Jessa's....not so much.

I swear, I hate to think about that "bunk" bed Jessa built. It's scary to think of the dangers presented by a badly built bunk bed. I can only hope that someone who knows even a little about wooden structures and safety, has looked at it and made it strong and stable.

FFS, get the bike out of the living room before taking pictures.

What! I thought everyone had a bike in their living room, where else would it go 😜

Those life-size pictures are monstrous!  I wouldn't be able to be in that room long.  She topped Jill for awful pictures.

The ones with Jessa and Ivy & Ben & the boys is a nice photo, but the blown up one of them kissing 🤮I don’t think is appropriate for the living room. If it was a smaller photo on a stand somewhere I think it’d be fine but big blown up like that I’d put in in the master bedroom.

Yeah, I'm genuinely scared that Ivy and Henry are going to get crushed by that collapsing bed one of these days.

Jessa seems to be working out her issues by living EXACTLY as her parents did, or at least how they claimed to. It wouldn't surprise me if she were pushing for Ben to run for office, just like her father did.

Can you imagine BunkBedJed! and Ben, when BBJ turns 35, running for Prez/VP on the Fundamental Christian party?  🤣

Not only is it a bike in the living room, but a perfectly color coordinated bike with everything else in the pic

 I mean, she has a flimsy shelf full of pots that could fall down and kill her in the middle of the night. And that’s just with adults. I’m sure the kids will probably get a shelf full of daggers and acid.....and lots of glares from Jessa that it’s safe and appropriate.

Don’t give her any ideas 🤣

She might built an extra bedroom herself 🤣

Yes she does.  Didn't the Duggar kids also used to ride their bikes inside the TTH?

[CalicoKitty]

Not only bikes in the Big House, but roller skates, too.  There were scenes of a kid, maybe Joy, who was rollerskating on the tile kitchen floor while carrying a glass casserole dish.  And Giddy's bike has been shown in the pantry at the Big House.  I really can't imagine how filthy that house must be.

[GeeGolly]

At least at the TTH they could actually ride a bike and roller skate. In the mold house they'd no sooner get going and then have to stop - because walls.

All of the pictures need to be resized smaller and middle picture should be a group family picture with Ben holding Ivy and the boys clustered around Jessa. The kissing picture should in a small frame on Jessa's death shelf.

[Joan of Argh]

A lady I used to work with had a blended family like the Brady bunch they had 9 kids total and they were living in a small condo with 2 bedrooms and a little flex room that had a closet but no window…they were saving to buy a home, she actually built narrow bunk beds inside the closets for the smallest kids and then regular bunk beds in the 2 rooms for older kids and chests of drawers for each child…..she had a huge clothes rack out in the garage for everyone to hang clothes.

The older kids made their beds in the morning before school but the little kids didn’t need to make their beds, they just closed the closet doors.

I’m waiting to see if Jessa starts putting beds in closets as their family grows.

Exactly the one of her and Ben kissing should be in a small frame maybe 5x7 and preferably placed in their bedroom.

one large family picture of them with the kids would be ok in the living room

The pic of them kissing isn’t appropriate for the living room plus they look soooooo awkward like a brother and sister kissing not a married couple.

Jessa made such a big deal out of their first kiss being private and maybe she was right since even after all these years and 3 kids they still don’t look like they’re used to kissing, they look like a couple oddly placed statues 🥴

Kids do not want to see their parents kissing!

In our family it was the laundry basket.

[ozziemom]

I’m envisioning Jessa’s house with hammocks hanging everywhere like on a submarine! You could really pack the kids in that way!

No baby yet?  I know she never gave an exact due date but it seems like we are approaching a length of gestation similar to that of an elephant at this point.

This scan is from the middle of February. Can anyone guess about how many months it is? Aren't anatomy scans done at around 20 weeks? If Jessa was 20 weeks then, she should be ready to deliver any day now.

Jessa just posted an IG story schilling pillows. Oh, and they have a giant kissing photo on the wall in the bedroom too.

The actual scan was done on 1/25. She's due any day.

Yikes, so she may be in her 42nd week. I can't see any reason Jessa would delay the birth announcement too long, this time around. Even if TLC is still around,  I think they may be publicly pausing their association with the Duggars. 

I'm going with Nora Michelle or Barton James.

 

[YupItsMe]

Posted today on YT. They are (or were) camping…

 

[Bridget]

She's not going to be content until those kids all hit their heads on that stupid shelf above the bed in the master bedroom. The anxiety I felt while watching HER KIDS was overwhelming.

Also, Spurgeon doesn't like sweaty pillows. 

I guess when your hair is too long and your clothes are always too snug, sweaty pillows isn't a far stretch. Those poor kids.

[SMama]

Sos she dresses Ivy in a dress with a big bow, and leggings to go camping.  What exactly did they do?

The kids’ PJs too tight as usual

Could Ben be more checked out?

[BitterApple]

This video wins the award for "Most Awkward Product Placement Ever." Right, Jessa, a five year-old is really invested in the kind of pillow he sleeps on. I'll give credit to Spurge though; he recites his lines like a perfect little show pony.

Henry's speech is soooo garbled. I can understand Ivy better than I can him.

The kids singing Davy Crockett was adorable.

In all her videos, Jessa comes across like a single mom and Bin is the disinterested boyfriend who tolerates her kids and occasionally does something useful. Why do they continue to have children when they clearly can't stand one another? 

 

 

[Madtown]

Jessa selling pillows...Spurg looks thrilled. Probably wondering if he is going to share that bed with all 3 of siblings one day...

 

[Cinnabon]

PLEASE tell me it’s not “My Pillow.” 😆

Going camping in the heat while being full term sounds like a horrible time. Imagine if she gives birth in the car or the tent???

Sleeping on the ground at that point in her pregnancy, sounds like a nightmare to me. Also, she sure seems to like her boys to pee all around the campground, everywhere but the bathroom! Even checked out Ben noted that the bathroom was nearby!

[skipnjump]

Why does Spurg always have sweaty hair?  Do they not have air conditioning in their house?

The temperature was mild when they were camping, in the 60’s and 70’s, according to Jessa.  That’s perfect temp for camping.  I wouldn’t have wanted to be out in the wilderness during a 3rd trimester pregnancy.  That just doesn’t seem like a very smart decision to me.

I was confused as to why both Henry and Spurge had wet hair at bedtime during the camp out.  Were they made to take a shower at the campground?  

[xwordfanatik]

Hair hanging in my face/eyes is something I just can't stand.  I hate seeing on those kids, too.

Ben, do yourself and your kids a favor, and PLEASE go get snipped.  You obviously have your limits, and having a checked-out dad is doing those existing kids no favors.

I only know this because I’ve babysat for a lot of little boys:  Little boys love to pee outside, although I have no clue as to why they love it.

She tries to keep up with her big brothers.  When my sister and I were growing up in the country, we ALWAYS had shin bruises.  My mom and I were looking through old pictures last week, and we both commented on the bruises in almost every picture.  Little kids run into things, fall down, bump things while climbing, etc.

[BitterApple]

I noticed Jessa said a critter was outside their tent because the kids had tossed marshmallows around. I've never been camping, but isn't it sort of a general rule that you're supposed to keep your area tidy and not leave food out?

Aside from raccoons or possums, I wouldn't want a campsite crawling with ants because something sugary and sticky was all over the ground. I would've made the kids clean them up before they went to bed.

Now we know why Jessa joined the influencer ranks selling pillows today. Hoo boy, money is going to be TIGHT! 

Expect her to try to crank out a YouTube video every week now.
