Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[Marshmallow Mollie]

No way no how would I give my kid anything with dye if it had been only a couple of hours since the kid last vomited. I would not want to take the chance I would be cleaning up green jello vomit.

[PradaKitty]

Not to mention bright yellow/orange goldfish vomit!!!

When my son was small one night for a snack he had string cheese and Cat/Dog shaped cheez-its. AFter he was asleep for a couple of hours I went to check on him. It smelled bad in his room and I asked are you okay. He said fine. It wasn't. It took me YEARS before I would give him either item or even eat them myself. Ever try to wash cheese out of sheets? Doesn't work.

They could be original goldfish, which are not brightly colored. Who knows!

Israel lying down while eating goldfish, or anything else, is brilliant.

Maybe as part of Sam's escape plan, Yaaaay had to get sick so that he wouldn't snitch about said escape plan to the male and female guard.

(Seriously though, Sam really looks like Stewie here.)

 I guess we're limiting our field to guys since we're talking about preachers? But Jessa has them all beat when it comes to articulation, I think. As far as I'm concerned, Nostrils ain't never gonna live down "etiquacy."

[Oldernowiser]

Okay, I’m not a parent nor an “influencer” (gag). But do normal people post about their kid vomiting and take photos of them when they’re sick?

Something else for poor Izzy to tell his therapist some day...

Israel woke me up this morning saying he was about to throw up! 🤢We made it to the toilet before 🤮, then it was 🛀 time and back to bed. No more loss of fluids for a couple hrs so now it’s popsicle, goldfish, jello and 📺 time! 
Btw, this Indonesian jello is the best! I forgot I still had some...thanks @jennishartono and @jonathanehari 
Now, hopefully the rest of us stay well! 😷 
Note: Growing up we got popsicles as rewards, or when there was throw-up or blood....we do this in our house now too. 😊

WHY all the childish emojis?

[galaxychaser]

Because Jill is a emotional stunted adult aka a big child?

I agree people should post less pictures and stories about their kids on sm. This stuff is forever. If I had kids I wouldn't even post pictures of them period.  Kids lives should be private.

[GeeGolly]

Jill posts that she hopes no one else gets sick, yet the non-sick kid is practically sitting on the sick one.

And no, we never called popsicles "rewards" for throwing up or bleeding or stopping throwing up or stopping bleeding. We gave popsicles to encourage fluids and add a few electrolytes after a stomach bug or flu.

@DangerousMinds 🤢🍧🙂🤣😂

[Zella]

Doesn't Jessa usually do all the emojis within her posts? I feel like Jill may have stolen that from her, but maybe I'm just confused. I'm not feeling well myself, so obviously I'm here to make myself feel better by judging the Duggars. . . . 

[graefin]

I'd think a dehydrated kid would be better served by Pedialyte. Doesn't a popsicle have more sugar than anything else? That'd just make dehydration worse.

Some IV's have sugar. Not an MD and don't no when saline vs dextrose makes sense though.

Although we did use it, Pedialyte is expensive. We'd also make homemade Gatorade popsicles.

This just floored me! I know it's hard to really isolate a sick child from everyone else, and others may catch a bug (stomach bugs seems to be the worst) regardless of what you do. But Sam is sitting on top of Izzy! What a moron!

I didn't realize it was expensive.    I used to keep 2 bottles at all times when we had  children.   Of course, that was in the dark ages before they had it in popsicles , but you can get those at Target or Walmart for about $6 for a box of 16.  I think you have to order them, but you can pick them up at the local store.

I never could understand why Derrick didn’t just go back to school to get his graduate degree to become a CPA. It should have been easier for him since he had the undergraduate degree already, would have probably taken less time and CPAs make good money!

I would think so, too, but if he is a perpetual student he may do that after law school.   I know many people who are lawyers plus other degrees like doctors, nurses, priests, and CPAs.   I have no idea what type of grades he had, but to get in law school you need good grades plus a high score on the LSAT.   I think he is probably a good student, but lacks stick-to-itness in the real world.   There are various ways to do law without much interaction with people.   writing appellate briefs (which I love to do)  is one.  I don't expect him to become Perry Mason or become a partner in a fancy firm.

Deertick isn't going to a law school in the top 50, so his LSAT score only needed to be average.  I don't know how accurate this is, but it was interesting....

https://magoosh.com/lsat/2016/lsat-scores-top-100-law-schools/

Is he attending in Fayetteville?  Because they were tied for #88 in 2016.  With over 50% acceptance rate.  I'm betting most of us here could have made it in.

OMG!! I remember, years ago, having the kids suddenly contract a stomach bug shortly after they happened to drink red Kool-Aid. And us in a rented house with off-white carpeting.  I ended up having to use bleach to get the stains out, then trying to mix up subtle shades of dyes to bring the spots back to something approximating the carpet color. That was the end of anything with red dye in our household. Never had to deal with the green.

Wow, I was shocked at that acceptance rate;  I am used to schools with 35% or less.    I  had a 47, but the scale was different back in the middle ages when I think 48 or 50 was the top score.   I wonder what the bar passing rate is?

I guess I shouldn't have said a high score, maybe just a decent score for the school.   I am not fond of Derrick, but I hope he makes it through. 

I have given up hope that any will fly the coop any time soon.   At least Jinger is living out of state.    When they first started the original program, Josh spoke of going to law school which was a pipe dream for him at the time with his pathetic home schooling and no chance of a college degree in sight.   I know Josh is a jerk, but  I wonder if he would be less of a jerk if he had received a good education and gone to law school.   I would think living in DC surrounded by so many people with advanced degrees would have caused resentment toward the parents who limited his education. 

I guess I will pin my hopes on John David with his airplane;  I think his wife is an RN so at least she values education.

It’s not normal to do, but it is common. I always want to be like, let’s post of a picture of you (the mom) sick on Facebook and see how you like it. 

[cmr2014]

The picture with Derick carrying Izzy on his back is the first time that I've ever seen Derick show genuine pleasure in the company of his son.

The picture with Sammy in the tupperware makes me nuts. Is Jill really that incapable of understanding what is and is not an appropriate surface for a child to stand on?

Bummer.   Well, I can always hope she will go back to school and get the RN.   I just hope they don't try to have zillions of kids.  I hope getting married will be an advantage for them.  And maybe set an example for the younger ones that it is permissible to marry later.

Could Izzy's stomach bug be from something he ate (like his mother's cooking?)

I wish they would just buy a damn TV so the kids won't have vision problems from squinting at a laptop.

reminds me of one woman's exploits that I follow online. She's in her late 30's and very morbidly obese (very!). She's a total narcissist who cannot admit that her weight is a health issue, and 'works' as a motivational speaker about weight issues. Her big shtick is that no one can lose weight and keep it off - ever! She's a complete grifter with no real job, and lies about having a degree and work history. She claims be an elite athlete, but never works out. She is in year five of a two year plan to run an IRONMAN triathlon. Oh, and now she's homeless - using air b'n'b for shelter.

Until the Ironman part, I thought you were talking about Whitney Way Thore...

It will take a couple years (assuming she has no College pre-reqs done). Now's the perfect time - no kids, no need to work, and TV money to live on. Then, when the TV show is gone and Jim Bob Enterprises isn't paying so well, Abbie can be sole breadwinner, or even put JD though school. I know, I know, I dream.

Agreed. My kid had a stomach bug last week that started about 2 hours after he ate some oreos. When he started spewing black my first thought was "Do exorcists make housecalls to Jews?" before I remembered the oreos. 

I just hope poor Sam didn't catch anything from sitting right on top of Izzy! that'll definitely mess with his escape plans.

I forgot about that! Yes, I guess I was thinking in their field only guys would be preachers, but Jessa does articulate relatively well within their group. Jinger has come close in more recent episodes, I thought she was pretty articulate in the episode where she gives birth to Felicity.

You were right about that. Females do not preach the gospel or lead churches in the theological circles the Duggars and adjacents belong to.

The grey outfit looks like something you wear in jail or insane asylum. It’s hideous color. Might look better in bright red or black.

Me, too. But in another color.

Never.

ETA: The problem with that kind of flimsy knit fabric for a jumpsuit is that you stretch a seat pooch into it the first time you sit down. Then it drags around behind you like your butt is a foot lower than it is. Not great.

Is Jill trying to relaunch herself as a wannabe fashionista?  and where is all the $$ coming from if no one in that household is employed for all these clothes? I can't believe she would generate that much traffic flow to these stores to get the clothes gratis?

[FizzyPuff]

I like the grey jumpsuit it looks very comfy, I'd wear that around the house, not on a date though. Also nursing stuff? I was thinking whose she nursing then I remembered Sam 😊 Bottom picture the Top & Jeans are nice the shoes however not to my taste but whatever if she likes them then good for her.

That jumpsuit is the most hideous thing I have ever seen!!! First thing I thought when I looked at the picture was, "eeeeew!  Where did she get that old lady shirt?" I tried to reason that it could be a cardigan, and stared at it, trying to picture it on the hanger at Loft or somewhere, but decided for sure that no, it must be old lady apparel. Not a good reaction when the whole point of the picture is to sell that garment!

here are my issues with it:

1. The buttons and cut (when you can only see the top) are really old lady looking. 

2. Jill is a thin girl, yet she looks "thick" (and not in a good way) in this jumpsuit. 

3. The color is not flattering on anybody. Sure, lots of people wear gray, but with another color. A jumpsuit should be in a good whole-body color. 

4. The material looks like sweatpants in the legs. Which...yeah...because the whole thing is sweatpants material. Which is why it would be fine as just a cardigan, but looks weird over the whole body. IMO this material shouldn't be used for jumpsuits, but especially gray, because it makes it look too much like sweats. 

5. Since we have established that it's sweatpants material, a belt makes it too fancy. 

6. Buttons are FUGLY. 

[Ohiopirate02]

I'm not a fan of Jill's second look.  Those jeans are too big for her in the thigh,  no one should see that large of a crease there.  She needs to either size down or get a different cut.  Also, she looks so stiff in the outfit, probably because none of the pieces are her style.  She needs more boho clothes and not that geometric mess.  I also have no words for that jumpsuit.

I know what you mean!!! Every time she wears jeans, she looks fine from the knees down, but the fit is terrible above the knees. I think she is scared to wear the size that she really needs to wear! Also, there are many other kinds of pants she could wear that might fit better. I almost never wear jeans; I just don't find them that comfortable. I'd rather wear regular slacks.

Being an "old lady" doesn't mean I wear crap like that.  I think it can be ugly on its own merits or lack thereof without condemning the old to wearing it..  It looks like it would be warm and comfortable to sleep in for winter, but beyond that I don't know what purpose it would serve.  I can't imagine anyone wearing it to go anywhere.  Poor clueless Jill.

You're right! Definitely no offense to anyone who is up in years. The truth is that no one should be wearing this hideousness!
