Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[tabloidlover]

Only Jill and Derick can make home look so sad

[Oldernowiser]

Derrick is....THIRTY????!!!

In Duggar years, that’s like 90. 

Especially as he has only two children to show for it.

(And doesn’t have a job but not important in Duggar World so never mind.)

Poor Sam and Yaaay. I want to take them somewhere with a bunch of color. Probably the nearest Lego store.

I just keep looking at those pathetic little strips of crepe paper hung vertically with no rhyme or reason from the room divider. No festive swags, no...anything. Just a few random strips of paper. Why even bother? Could anything look more half-assed? I mean, I get that she might not be able to muster up enough enthusiasm to properly celebrate, but if you are going to  put it on social media, this looks like positively begging for some pretty cruel criticism.

Except for Sammy's cute growling face, lol.  (Sorry Izzy, I do think you're cute as a general rule, but that's not a particularly stellar picture.)

[nightmeri]

Two things:

I don’t think up close and personal means what Derelict thinks it means. When observing court, it is not personal in any way 

I laughed out loud at the gift bag or sign or whatever that said “Hooray” for Derelict’s sad little party. Maybe Jill has moved on and will now only say hooray.  Or she is preggers and Yay and Sam have a new brother coming named hooray. Or, my NyQuil is kicking in and everything is funny 

[Sew Sumi]

Jill made her nasty spaghetti pie for the occasion. She posted a pic of lots of beige food in her stories.

What in the ever-loving fuck is that in the pan?!?! It looks like Lance Henriksen's android blood in Aliens. Except I think that robot gore might have been more appetizing. 🤢🤮

So he had an early birthday lunch yesterday, a birthday dinner today, and now needs an entire birthday weekend to celebrate himself?

Saw this on Facebook tonight and thought of those poor children.   And those pics of Derelict look like the after shots of a bad party

Boy, Derick & Jill sure do love themselves. That wall is covered with photos of themselves.

Those poor little boys. Jill's house is still a mess.

I've noticed that that seems to be a Gothardite trait--all decorations are essentially a celebration of themselves and only themselves. I recently rewatched an old episode (was feeling masochistic; it was the one where they were redecorating the guest mansion for Derick and Jill to stay in when they arrived home from El Salvador), and Jana and Jessa were having an argument over art on the walls. Jana had hung generic art on one of the walls for the color they brought to the room; Jessa took it upon herself to replace the pieces with photos of the family because "those have nothing to do with us." (Why does *everything* have to be about them?) In the end, Jana managed to win out.

It wouldn't even occur to me to adorn every inch of my house with photos of myself or my family, but I guess when you have no interests besides yourselves or Jesus . . . <shrug>

Along with the occasional shrine to Confederate war "heroes".

[BigBingerBro]

I don't have an issue with the Olive Garden seating arrangements.  The table isn't that huge and Deralickt could easily reach his long monkey arms across to the kid's plate and cut his food or feed him or whatever. The kids didn't appear in any distress, so I don't get the "poor thing" comments.  I'm not defending these people, but if the kid needed assistance, I'm sure one of the parents could easily switch sides.  

They won't be winning any home decor awards, that's for sure.  I'm surprised Jana "Joanna" Gains-Duggar hasn't been conscripted to come over and redo the home on the Duggar dime.

Deralickt should be much heavier based on the food Jilly feeds him.  Tapeworm from scary America?

Not to mention it looks like there is a picture of Smuggar in the separate brown/gold frame.  Nothing like looking at your molester brother 24/7.

It REALLY looks like she's trolling us by slapping together the most unappetizing, stereotypical stuff (canned soup mush and pasta...basically all they eat)!!! But alas, I don't think she's smart enough for that. Poor Jill. And her poor family, having to eat this! I do think the spaghetti pie is the first dish of theirs I would try if I had to eat one of them, and maybe the finished product looks better, but this picture looks...unappetizing, to say the least.

I used to get profession pics of my kids every year. Every time they would try and sell me giant canvas prints of them. I finally told them, please stop, I live with my kids and don't need practically life-sized portraits of them adorning my walls.

They just stared at me like I was an awful parent.

He is one arrogant s.o.b., that’s for sure. Let’s see how that holds up in ten years.

[Brown eyed girl]

Here’s the recipe for Spaghetti pie just in case you want to make it for your hubby tonight. You’ll be the #bestwifeyever. 

Jill didn’t cook it Cathy did. Where are the spices and garlic? The sauce is just tomato paste and water. 🤢. At least she could’ve served a salad and garlic bread with that mess. 

Edited March 9, 2019 by Brown eyed girl
Cathy cooked this mess , not Jill.

[Oldernowiser]

Is it just me or are the proportions way off? That’s some intense tomatoeyness for only six ounces of spaghetti and that’s a ton of sour cream and sausage. It wouldn’t surprise me if the sour cream curdled with that much acid from the tomato paste. 

But hey, I’m a heathen. What do I know from God’s special peoples’ casseroles.

[JoanArc]

This is the saddest dirty thirty I’ve seen.  I wonder if Jill was feeling passive aggressive when she put that Pathetic balloons and streamers up.  Or, better question, does she ever not feel passive aggressive?

Der  is such an ass. “When we get to see each other” -  dude, you live together, practically on top of each other 24/7,  and have no outside friendships. You’re joined at the hip!  It’s OK not to see your spouse for eight or 12 hours a day.

He left out “without those messy noisy small humanoids around” after “when we get to see each other.”

But that’s his implication. Just guessing but not.

My law school never had “field trips”. I just find that weird. 

That hovel sure is a huge come down from the first house Jill and Derrick lived in.  I guess she’s not Jimbob’s favorite anymore.

I think he's really pissed at Derick and that has won out over his fondness for Jill. I'm sure he still loves her (Jim Bob, unlike Michelle, does seem to have some sort of affection for his children), but he has probably stopped indulging her, since any generosity to her also benefits Derick.

I think it's more the other way around -- Derick doesn't want any more of his in-laws largess. Those houses aren't "free" and they aren't even cheap -- they come with thick, heavy, binding strings attached.

I took a field trip in Law School to a maximum security prison (for my Crime, Punishment and Social theory class).

Happy 30th Birthday Derick!

Mar 9, 2019 | Family Blog, Photos | 0 

Just wanted to hop on here real quick and say happy birthday to the man of my dreams! We enjoyed a sweet little family dinner last night with Derick’s favorite spaghetti pie and a movie, a fun breakfast with donuts this morning, and we are planning to spend the evening together (he’s having to study this afternoon  ) while Derick’s mom has the boys. 

Babe, I’m blessed beyond measure by you and I realize this even more the longer we’re married! ❤️

[dargosmydaddy]

WTF is the Duggar deal with sitting on tables?!

Why is Derrick in particular-- a grown-ass man-- sitting that way?!

[JoanArc]

That’s just....the saddest birthday spread. What’s that picture of three kids, Der as a child? Nice green salad. Jesus Jill, go on Pinterest and learn how to set a freaking table. I know you’re in law school by proxy, but try to find an hour in your busy day for style.

Did Jill make a handmade Netflix ‘n Chill card for him? Old popcorn? A store bought cake? I’d rather my spouse forget my birthday than drop something like this on me. In fairness to Jill, birthdays were a biweekly event in her home, so I can see her not getting it. Now Der should call Cath and point out how she risked her life to have him.

Those handmade signs wouldn’t be so sad if they were colored by the kids and something they came up with on their own, not a woman in their 20’s. I can’t picture myself sitting at home coloring signs for my husband. We’re both grown ass adults. 

The worst part of all of all of this is they have been celebrating #besthubbyever #lawstudent for days, and their kids get an afternoon.

[cmr2014]

Everything about this is just insanely sad -- and this is what Jill manages when she tries

The party decorations are ridiculous.

The pictures on the wall are insane. Jill simply has no eye for anything -- I've never seen a collection of dozens of small pictures haphazardly arranged on a wall that way, and now I can see why.

The table looks like crap. Does she really not own a bowl? Is it really necessary to serve the "big green salad" in tupperware on the dining room table?

Jill looks like crap. If this is a special dinner, could she really not bother to put on a cute outfit? We know that she has some reasonably cute clothes now -- are those clothes just for selfies?

I'm glad Izzy has some pajamas -- something his mother never had -- but it seems like he's never out of his pajamas at home. 

As far as sitting on the table goes, I don't object as much as other posters to the Duggar habit of crawling all over the furniture, but I don't get this. Is there really no place in their home where they can gather for a photo without sitting on the table? Are we supposed to think it's cute or charming or something? And, like all Duggar photos, there's a composition problem -- why does Jill need to stand so far away to get this shot? Why do we have to see all those peripheral pictures and chairs and  things?

🙄🤣 the D-man really has gone full Duggar, hasn't he?  It's enough to have the Duggars espousing this idiocy... remember when folks were hoping and thinking that he had enough awareness to know that "Jill teaching the kids at Playskool" was going to lead to grown-up morons? 

On the other hand, if Barnacle Jill really does accompany him to every class and outing, you can see where he's getting the impression that she'll know everything he does...

Well, thanks to @ginger90's post we now know the answer to this question, though to that I say; What in the world?  (For my own part, I was about to guess that Jill doesn't know about composition, because for about 5 years now she's had to worry about fitting 45 people in a picture; and she probably doesn't understand Burst mode or whatever its successor is.)  

We saw Sammy using his Rube Goldberg creation to surmount and crawl around on the table; and them laughing about it.  We've also seen and/or heard about countless cases of young folks crawling around on furniture at the TTH.  They really expect us to believe now that disrespecting furniture was a "special Duggar treat"? 

I'm waiting to see Jessa, Jinger, et al weighing in on the comments section, because gurl, really?
