Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

Our local morning radio drive guy went after Derrick this morning. He took offense at the remarks about Nate Berk  and family and pretty much called out that Derrick needed to look at his own house/family and get a job. I think this is going to bubble up pretty big. 

Ferrick has poked the bear too much. 

[GeeGolly]

I watched the hammock clip again. If you watch Sammy closely, Derick either lacks instinct or doesn't give a damn. Sammy is trying to get comfortable, mostly wanting to sit up. Most parents naturally, without thinking, adjust their kids as they squirm into a preferred position - Derick doesn't. And either Sammy is a very laid back baby or he already knows not to fuss and let his wants be known. I'm hoping he's laid back.

Oh and thanks Jill, for letting us know that your hammock, which is 6" off the ground, is secure. Not like an infant in a car seat balanced on a flimsy stroller or anything.

He probably already knows not to fuss. Did anyone else notice Israel's stutter when he was trying to explain to Derick why it was his turn on the hammock? His speech was very clear prior to that. Any bets on how much trouble he got into for arguing with Derick?

Please correct me if I'm missing something here but Derick had some nerve boo-hooing about people who have never met him criticizing him and his actions. Well, from what I can tell, isn't that exactly what he is doing with Jazz and now with Nate & Jeremiah? When did he meet them?...um, let's see, NEVER. Be quiet, Derick.

Another thing that is just wrong of DDD, IMO, is when he called their family a 'travesty', I think he is also insulting their daughter, Poppy. By using the term, 'family', he is bringing this little girl in to the mix. That is quite low of him. 

His in-laws think and have thought NOTHING of being on a television network that has various programming highlighting all walks of life. Why does he have a problem with it? Jim Bob and Michelle didn't mind one bit and now his sisters in law mind even less as they're skipping all the way to the bank to cash the checks. 

The last paragraph describes exactly how hypocritical this family truly is.

No, sometime after the initial wave of Jazz and before Nate. I definitely recall her sticking her nose in when Derelict has been told repeatedly to get a job. To the best of my recollection, she's echoed Derelict's "You don't know the truth."

I'm currently sitting on an ICE train on my way to Berlin (it's earlyyyyyyyyyyyyy), and they've WIFI. I haven't taken a train in decades so yay.

Dreck is a total, complete, utter and wholly fucking wanker. I don't use that word lightly. He is a piece of shit, really he is. He spends all his waking hours being angry, bitter and twisted and spews hatred and vitriol. If I wasn't blocked I would still not be wasting my time on there anymore, he's not worth it. He wants to live in his twilight world, he wants attention, so let's not give it to him.

I detest this guy on a level seldom previously seen. Even Smuggar seems nearly tolerable - well okay, he doesn't either.

Jill is an idiot who cannot function in the world, neither does she want to. They will continue a while longer but one day probably far too soon, their world will explode. I can see Dreck being nasty and losing it completely. Those poor poor children.

Derick needs to quit lounging around in the hammock and start potty training Israel.  That kid is over three-years-old and still wears a diaper in the daytime.  Jill obviously can't handle her stay-at-home-mothering duties sufficiently so Derick needs to step in.

I give them a pass on the potty training.  Izzy just turned 3 & it's hard to tell what he's wearing - a diaper, pull-ups or regular underwear.  Plus I read somewhere boys on average take longer to train than girls.  As I've posted before, my son was way past 4 when he got the whole potty training thing down.  It was definitely a control issue with him & he couldn't be bothered to stop what he was doing & use the bathroom.  I thought sure he would be going to kindergarten with pull ups in his backpack. 

As for Izzy, there's always Aunt Jana if his parents can't be bothered.

He might have insurance for himself, but I doubt he had insurance for Jill or Izzy because you know Jesus was going to take care of them and the fact Jill is the best, most special, blessed midwife of all times. In otherwords, neither one would have figure out something wrong could happen during her labor.

Plenty of kids, boys especially, don't potty train completely until after they're 3.  Something about how boys have more nerves and tissue to learn how to control.  But once they're ready, it's usually easier because they have a better vocabulary to understand what is wanted from them, and they're better able to make it known when they need to go.

My husband has a cousin whose son refused potty training because he was having too much fun playing, and he was stubborn as could be.  It took him until he was four before he'd use the potty, for a couple of reasons.  First, the little guy had learned to push his diaper down and pee on the back fence when he was playing.  His mom tried to corral him for regular potty breaks, but he resisted and would wait until he was outside again to pee. 

Since she was dealing with a sickly newborn, he got away with this for awhile until he got a bad diaper rash from pooping in his diaper and letting it dry on his bum.  Then his mom would have to scrape the poop off of him and put him in the bathtub to wash him off.  Soon he was pooping and then coming in and waiting in the bathroom for his mom to come clean him up, but if the baby was fussy he'd have to wait.  So he learned to get his diaper off and started climbing in the tub to wait.  After a couple of days he'd turn on the cold water and wash himself, then wander around in the yard naked from the waist down until his mom came out and put a diaper on him. 

Once his father and grandfather found him that way and laughed at "the little nudist", he decided that if he couldn't tape his own diapers on, he'd wear the underware.  But he only had a couple of pairs of those and once they were soiled, he'd have to hang around the bathroom for his mom to diaper him.  After a couple of weeks he decided that he'd wear the underware and come in to use the potty, then he could go right back outside with no diaper rash, no one laughing at him, and not having to wait until his mom had time to do the laundry.  It was a completely ass-backwards way to potty train, but that kid was ass-backwards his whole life.

Some of the Twitter comments mentioned his personality change.   His response is that he hasn't changed but the liberal media is to blame.  As if.

If the media could change a personality I think someone would have done something about the rabid stuff coming out of DC by now.  BZZT, try again loser.  Besides. if all one watches is Fox, how is he influenced by the liberal media?  

What is it with this guy?  He needs to take responsibility for his life and all the choices he has made.  Some people DO make stupid decisions in their 20s (and beyond) but what separates winners from losers is how you handle it, what did you learn, how are you going to change going forward.  He needs some deep personal therapy.  Stat.

Derick doesn't seem to understand that more people complained about the Duggars being on TLC than complained about Jazz.  That's why Josh was kicked off the show and Jim Bob and Michelle.  And Derick is mistaken if he thinks people didn't complain about Derick and Jill as well.  People were horrified to see Israel screaming his head off while Jill and Derick bound him in a tight swaddling when he was past the age of that being appropriate and comforting.  It was pure torture for Israel.  People were also outraged that Derick thought the two-year-old Israel was trying to "manipulate" him because he told Derick that he loved him. 

Jill and Derick got fired from SOS Ministries in May, 2017, and returned to Arkansas from Central America with all of their belongings in May. They've never been back. But, while still collecting donations, they didn't let the public know until August that they were not returning.  Derick now claims that he and Jill left the TLC show on May, 31, but just failed to announce that until now.  Sure, Derick.  Just like you lied when you said your church was sponsoring you as a missionary in Central America and that donations would be used for missionary activities, this is just another Dillard lie in a long list of lies.     

It is sounding like perhaps TLC said they weren't dragging their crew to Central America to watch Jill hand out small chunks of banana read or watch Dickweed do any more interpretive dancing so either get with the program and do something in Arkansas or walk along.  Maybe they said fine, pay these outstanding bills and you got yourself a deal to film us here and they were told, nah, we are good.  There are eleventy billion other Duggars who can do what you do (birth babies and be they will actually be a quiet homophobe) so you go do your thing.

Yes, some do. There's growing research on this topic. 

"A report in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 10 percent of men worldwide showed signs of depression, often referred to as paternal postpartum depression or PPPD, from the first trimester of their wife's pregnancy through six months after the child was born. The number spiked to a whopping 26 percent during the three- to six-month period after the baby's arrival. "That's more than twice the rate of depression we usually see in men," explains James F. Paulson, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at Old Dominion University, in Norfolk, Virginia, and lead author of the survey, which assessed 43 studies of more than 28,000 fathers worldwide."

"Experts estimate that one in four new fathers becomes depressed after the birth of their child, and a 2014 study published in Pediatrics found that depression among new dads increases by 68 percent during the first five years of baby's life."

https://www.parents.com/parenting/dads/sad-dads/ 

I think we are just now in the past decade or so starting to really understand the scope of & openly talk about postpartum depression in women, while still largely ignoring prenatal depression in pregnant women (which I had) & pretty much ignoring paternal postpartum depression all together.  I'm glad to see there is an uptick in men talking about PPPD & research on it.  We have a lot of work to do when it comes to prenatal/postpartum depression for both sexes, it seems.

His life has not turn out the way he wanted it to since the day he started talking with JB in order to marry a Duggar daughter, and the need to go out in the world to turn the evil heathens to follow his way of thinking. Jill got pregnant right away, his job at Wal Mart did not turn out well at all, the molestation scandal hit the fan, TLC did not want to film him trying to save souls in Danger America, and Jill turn out to be clinging wife who has to have hand hold 24/7/365 and expect others to take care of her children.

One thing that has been bothering about Derick's Twitter rampage, is his response about what if Izzy or Sam was gay.  He claims that he would love the child, but I don't buy that.  He would force the child to undergo conversion therapy (or whatever name it will be rebranded 10+ years from now).  If the child refuses, Derick will cut off all contact.  I watch enough of RuPaul's Drag Race to know what will happen. 

The kid would be off to Alert so quickly it would be amazing.

Hmmm... I do not know if he is suffering from paternal postpartum depression, but I think Jill is suffering from depression after the birth of Izzy. Neither one of them seem interested in Izzy at all and seem to blame the poor kid for a lot of their problems. I think they both have some form of mental illness, but neither one will admit it and get the help they both need.

I admit I feel bad for Jill because her parents are idiots, and she suffered at the hands of JB, Michelle, and Josh. She is also married to a class A moron with the sensitivity of a wet washcloth sitting in dirty water for a few days, but when it comes to her so-called midwife work, pretending to be saving evil heathens, and the lack of intelligence when it comes to her pregnancy and the way she is raising her children, my patience and sympathy slowly slips away.

Here is the thing.  A lot of us had complete idiots as parents and didn't turn out to be idiots ourselves.  She is on her own, has seen how others live, has access to the internet (now) so she is choosing to perpetuate the idiocy.  She is choosing to live this way so while I agree their upbringing was horrendous, at some point we have to let the adults take responsibility for their idiocy as it stands now.  James Garner (for you youngin's, he was in the Rockford Files and The Notebook) had a horrible upbringing and rose above it.  People do it everyday.  I am not lecturing you BIGSKYGIRL (SORRY if it sounds like it!!!), I am merely venting that these people need to be held responsible for their lives like the rest of us.  If all my missteps were excused because I had absent/uninterested parents I would never have become a self sufficient grown ass woman.  My patience slipped away and flipped off the Duggars while it left the building!

For me, the thing that sticks out the most about Derrick is how he seems incapable of reacting in a healthy way when life does not got the way he planned.  I put a lot of blame on Cathy for this.  It does not look like he received the proper care after his father died.  To me, it looks like Derick and Cathy developed a sick codependent relationship where nothing is ever Derick's fault.  Also Derick deserves all the good things because he is a "super special Christian" or something.  When bad things happen, Derick does not know how to cope.  He is incapable of taking responsibility for his life.  Yes cancer sucks, so does burying a parent (or sibling, or spouse, or best friend) before their time, or we find that we married the wrong person.  No one's life goes the exact way we planned.  We all have things we must overcome.  Grow up Derick, learn to live with what you cannot rise above.

You are not lecturing me at all. I agree with what you are saying. I had a rotten childhood and was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression because of it. When my husband was first diagnosed and my lovely in-laws started pulling their crap, my PTSD and anxiety kicked into overdrive which help lead me to my thyroid disorder (patients with PTSD can end up with thyroid problems.) I still feel sorry for her being molested by Josh and not getting the help she obviously needs, but I still want to shake and slap her like Cher did to Nicholas Cage in the one movie and say snap out of it. I still hope one day she will finally wake up and seek the help she needs, but I am not holding my breath.

I do as well.  It is horrible that it happened and its equally horrible her parents did squat about it.  Can we line up all the Duggars and just do one long reception line slap?  Josh and his parents need a separate line where one can get do overs in case its not hard enough the 1st time.

Although I believe he apologized more for being caught, Smuggar still issued a statement over the wrongfulness of his actions, which is more than what I can imagine Derelict doing if in a similar situation.  Derelict is way more defensive than Smuggar ever has been and so at this point, I find Derelict less tolerable even though he hasn't technically committed any illegal actions.

It is sounding like perhaps TLC said they weren't dragging their crew to Central America to watch Jill hand out small chunks of banana read or watch Dickweed do any more interpretive dancing so either get with the program and do something in Arkansas or walk along.  Maybe they said fine, pay these outstanding bills and you got yourself a deal to film us here and they were told, nah, we are good.  There are eleventy billion other Duggars who can do what you do (birth babies and be they will actually be a quiet homophobe) so you go do your thing.

I've been wondering if Dillweed didn't demand that he and The Muffin get their own show and left in a huff when TLC laughed in his face but your idea makes more sense.  Either way, I think they're both delusional and don't get that they just aren't interesting. 

I'm a woman of my word, and I did watch Nate and Jeremiah's show.  They were on Trading Spaces which I normally watch anyway, and then I watched their show right after that.  I was very impressed.  They redid the home of a family of little people.  They did a wonderful job creating a home for the family that was both functional and beautiful.  They worked  hard to get it just right, and did more good for that family than the Dullards have ever done for anyone with their handing out Dum Dums and banana bread.  Poppy is adorable, and seems like a bright and happy little girl.  Izzy is the child I worry about, not her.

This is what I would love to do certain Duggar family members including Derelict. In the case of Smuggly, he may like being slap more than once.

 

'zactly what I was picturing!

Can I use my knee on Josh instead of a hand slap? :-)

HA!  Of course!

If I had TLC I would watch it as well.  I do NOT miss watching this family though.  I get the highlights from this board and well, Dickweed cannot seem to get off of Radaronline so I catch his shenanigans there.
