Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[GeeGolly]

It's sad if Cathy is only now following CDC recommendations for her own benefit. My kids and their friends, who are in their 30s, most of whom are very healthy, have all holed up in their homes, not only to keep themselves healthy but to support their communities at large.

It's folks like Cathy and the Caldwells who put themselves and their communities at risk.

Wake up America, this isn't only about you.

Oh definitely. We actually had an appointment set up a week or so ago and cancelled it before  stay at home was ordered. We’re both asthmatic and it’s only hair. Hair can wait. 

Thanks for letting us know that. I was feeling kind of edgy this morning about so many people who don't seem to be taking this seriously enough (see those comments to Cathy above as an example - Yikessss). I was just talking with a neighbor who has asthma and you can bet your *ss she's being very careful right now. Be well!

some of the comments on cathy's post of the boys having the picnic though

r1teri -I’ve heard that the sun kills the virus

and

elijahs_mimi -If non of you are sick, you don't have to do this.

 

I was glad she responded about one of them.

I'm glad she is being cautious. I hate her beliefs, but she clearly adores both those boys. This week is spring break and I was supposed to have my grandkids for 10 days and the only thing that makes not seeing them bearable is knowing I'm doing it to protect me, them, and everyone else.

No worries, Jeeves. We are all edgy these days! In addition to the asthma I’ve had multiple episodes of pneumonia and my roommate is fighting brain cancer. We are being extremely circumspect.

I heard that ladies in some part of Florida demanded that hair salons stay open.  I hope that isn't true?  As for me, I may get to see what my real hair color is nowadays (over half grey/white.)  No big deal.  

I won't believe that the plastic appearing news reporters on Fox, CNN, etc, aren't sneaking in their hair and nail stylist into their homes until I see their dark roots and raggedy nails.

I get this. We had to postpone our trip to see the grands. They are in a Seattle suburb and are all staying home.

Who cuts a child's hair in their KITCHEN where they EAT?   Then they let the child brush the cut hair off onto the floor?

The patio is right outside, and the cut hair would blow off into the grass.  Where it wouldn't wind up in the FOOD!  

OMIGAWD, how can these idiots survive daily life?

I am licensed to do hair and used to do all my friends/family at home. It was always the kitchen.  You don't want any wind, you want to be able to control light and it is super easy to clean.  You just make sure everything is put away.

I suspect many of the negative reactions to haircuts in the kitchen relates to the Duggar reputation for lack of cleanliness more than anything else.  Most of us can't picture Jill, or any of the Duggar's, cleaning a kitchen thoroughly enough after a haircut to make it once again suitable for cooking and eating.  Just my opinion, of course.

I feel ya.  A few months ago a friend asked me how grey my hair was and I said "I have no idea".  I think I'm going to find out now.  Even if I had the opportunity, my stylist is my age (60s) and had a heart attack and triple bypass surgery less than a year ago.  No way I would risk her life for my roots.

That is completely true.  In general it isn't a bad thing.  If you are Duggar, it is a don't.  Plus they have so many THINGS in their kitchens.  

[Temperance]

I thought what Cathy said at first was that she was trusting in God, but I didn't think she was going out and breaking the quarrentine.  I put her in a slightly different category than the Caldwells, who outright called it a hoax.

My dye job can't!! Lol! Seriously,  I do my own but use a product for allergies that i get at a beauty supply store. They are closed and I'm out of it. I will have to risk the itching this time.

See if they are delivering.  My local beauty supply is (it is one you have to have a license).  If you are comfortable with delivery.

As of last week, Sally Beauty was still shipping. I stocked up! LOL

The boys get a bunk bed! And some heavy metal music accompaniment! 🤣

 

[Ijustwantsomechips]

No way in hell I would bring those used mattresses in my house nowadays with bed bugs and all, but I’m glad the boys seem happy.  We had bunkbeds as kids and it was great.

[Future Cat Lady]

Assembling a bunk bed without instructions?

Used mattresses?

I find that a bit scary.

[crazy8s]

haha Izzy

"Sam thinks my bed is going to crunch him, but it's not"

it does look like they at least put the mattress protectors on - I do hope they bought those new

Why keep the crib?

[Sew Sumi]

I thought they gave the crib to Joe. I was confused to see a crib.

in the pics when they moved in the house wasn't the cramped boys room the crib, a toddler bed, changing table and the giant chair?

[Sew Sumi]

They gave away the crib after the house tour. Or so I thought.

Thanks for the correction! I'm still wondering why there's still a crib, though.

[GeeGolly]

Jill freaking decorates her master bath, but there's not one picture or fun curtains in the boys' room.

And like you all - used mattresses (from a stranger) are gross.

Expect a band aid baby next year. I  heard from a friend that they are really having problems.

A friend of Jill's?

[PikaScrewChu]

I would be very surprised to see another baby from these two at this rate. Derick still has a year of law school left and afterwards there is passing the bar and articling. Yes that can all be done with a baby in two, especially if your wife is a stay at home mother. Derick does not strike me as the type that could deal with it and Jill is a bit clingy at the best of times. 

Not to say that Jill isn't holding out hope. I suspect Derick is done, short of an "oops".

Let's just say that it is a Male friend of mine who is going to a certain school where his friends wife could become the same thing as he is because she was in class almost as much as her husband.

Do tell

 

[Temperance]

Jill is still a Duggar and it's not that surprising that Duggar is pregnant. Especially since both Jill and Derick dropped hints last year they want more. 

[kokapetl]

Any band aid baby is likely to be conceived when Derick starts working 60 hours a week as a lawyer. 

[JoanArc]

Well, if they did go to couple's therapy/counseling together, it probably doesn't indicate the healthiest relationship.

I hope Jill is also getting some one-on-one counseling without Derick listening in.  But it's probably Christian couples counseling - spouses can't keep any secrets from each other.

Derelict said the counselor was a licensed therapist, so there's some hope that Jill is getting real help.

I hope so. For Jill's sake and for the sake of them as a couple.

At least Jill seems to be taking covid-19 more seriously than some of her relatives

I have no idea why Lauren tagged Jill, but that’s not the same crib. Both are black and similar in style but the crownpiece on the back set of rails is scrolled on Derick/Jill’s and straight on Josiah/Lauren’s.

That reminds me of the early episode of Mad Men, where Betty Draper had a session with her therapist and, as soon as she walked out the door, the therapist called her husband to tell him everything she said. Of course, that was the bad old days of the 1960s and it would be considered unethical and illegal today, but I wouldn't be surprised if things like that still happened in Fundie circles.

Izzy is 5 today!

Looking for Teddy Bears in windows?  Is that a game Josh made up to look at women's boobs when they were kids?  Looking in others windows is very peeping tom Jill.  Super creepy.

it is all over our news - people putting teddy bears in windows so kids out for a walk with just their family can find them like a treasure hunt

[Jeeves]

Yep. The teddy bear hunt is happening all over the country and in Canada. It may have started in Canada.

Thank you for the explanation.  That is better than what I was imagining.  My mind went to a super creepy place.  Probably because her brother is super creepy and I watch too much ID network. 

[Zella]

I don't drive by any of the residential areas in my town, but even in my small town, there are apparently nearly 100 bears up for kids to spot in these bear hunts. It might be one of the more comparatively normal things Jill ever did, judging by all the people I know who are doing the same thing with their kids. 

[QuinnInND]

We did the bear hunt yesterday here in the DC area. We've got one in our window too. The kids loved it. Happy birthday to Izzy. And the window needs to be shut, Jilly. 🤦‍♀️
