Wait, she needed a friend to tell her taking kids outside to play is something she could do to tire the kids out? Seriously?

If my parents supported the person who sexually molested me as a child AND also profited from a show that portrayed them as God fearing, loving, better than everyone else parents AND then shunned ME?

I'm not super good with floor plans or the size of baby furniture, but there's no way that Jill actually put the kids in the walk in closet next to the master bedroom?  It appears to be tiny and there are no windows shown.  I've never met a women with small children who wanted them sleeping on another floor.  I'm not saying it's a closet, but it makes more sense based on the size since the other two bedrooms look normal (if small) sized.  I read way too much of the old Emily crazy mom blog to not think this is possible.

I think there's a window behind the grey chair.  You can see an edge of molding. The red thing and the  brown thing seem to be makeshift curtains.

If they got different furniture, people would just gripe about where they got the money for it! Honestly, I heartily dislike the Duggars in general and the Dullards in particular, but they just can't win. 

I get what you're saying. I think it's the hypocrisy that so infuriating. They can't win even when they make the rules.

Buy a house, but in cash only. No debt! No student loans, either. NEVER EVER.

Boldy announce plans, then have no follow through.

Be honest and open, but don't answer and direct questions.

Children are a blessing and the highest calling in life, but treat them like they're, at best, an annoyance.

Work a job for yourself that you control. Except everyone has no visible means of support, and winds up working for others.

Buy things used, except when brand new things just appear. No thrift store clothes when there is Citrus and Lemon.

Put yourself and your spouse first, unless it's planning family size or getting an abortion. Then you're just a murderer.

Claim to have everything figured out, but show you're incapable of introspection.

I could go on, and on.

Not a Duggar in sight helping with the move. Is this move not Boob approved so not one of Jill’s buddies could be spared? Also since TLC is not filming, no decorating by Jana or Jessa, I guess if it’s not going to be on TeeVee it isn’t worthy of the Duggar’s time.

Duggars don't help you move. They just come and redecorate your house when you aren't looking. Stick the stuff you like most in a closet.

I remember when I was a kid my mother would often rearrange furniture just to break monotony and/or freshen the place up.  My father was super-cheap so we rarely got new furniture.  I always suggested putting the dining table up against the wall, just because i thought it was different, but it also opened up some floor space and made the room appear bigger.  My mother flat-out refused to have the table up against a wall.  I now can understand why.  I wonder if J&D feel that is provides for more open space in the room?   

When I was a teenager, my best friend and I would always be rearranging our rooms. We lived in the same model home and our rooms were the same in the house. I can't believe we would move dressers and beds! It did make things interesting for awhile.

Years back, I moved 7 times in 13 years.  While unpacking in most of my kitchens, I would shove the table against the wall, since it being in the middle was inconvenient and kept getting in my way.  When everything was unpacked, the fridge replenished, the floors and counters cleaned, the table went into it's proper place.  It always worked well for me. 

They however, are idiots, so they may be just be fans of irrational furniture placement and the table-against-the-wall is intentional.

I hate admitting this, but my table is currently pushed to the wall...for 1 reason. I have a toddler that runs through and is accident prone. The table has sharp corners. I push it as far back as I can to give her more room and to save her head/eyes from the corners. Make no mistake though, when we have guests, the table is pulled back to the center of the room, under the light like it is supposed to be. 🤷‍♀️

We own a 3-story townhouse with 3BR/1BA.  Our dining room table with a traditional leaf that can be as needed.  If we put that table under our light fixture, nobody would be able to go into the kitchen, as that door separate the dining room & kitchen is quite narrow.  We will use that table for a family gathering to put food down to do a spread, but we don't eat at ti.  My inlaws have the same problem.  They would lose living room arrangements if they put that dining room table under their light fixture.  

In this case, it isn't a new house.  It's the people living in them.  The only thing that Derick can win at is sucking the life of everyone he comes in contact with.  Including his own children.

There are so many things to pick on with these two, that I can't get worked up over the location of a table.  She has two small children.  They tend to run and space is a good thing.  I did the same thing in college with a large table and that was so my dogs could have more room to run.  I can't ding her on this.

My dining room table is, has been, and always will be against the wall.  It makes sense in my home.  You may not like it, or approve, but different strokes for different folks.  Doesn’t make  my choice “wrong.”

Since there are no toys in the bedroom & pictures of their former living room showed shelves of toys, I think the bedroom is for sleeping and probably where naughty boys are sent. I don't have a problem with siblings sharing a room, especially when they're so young. The idea that every child had to have his/her own room is a very recent one. When I was young it wasn't unusual for siblings to share a bed, too.

Yesterday afternoon the one guy did some insulation work around the front door. He said whoever put the door in did not do it right. Which should be a lesson for Deredick and the rest of the clan. Watching someone do a job because you are too cheap to pay for someone to do it right the first time, and thinking you can do it after watching someone else do it is not a good idea. My husband did put in the storm door, and he did it the right way. I could picture Deredick and Jill attempting to fix things around the house and not doing it right.

Also, my brother and I had to share a room our entire childhood into the teen years even though we had an extra bedroom.  That room was reserved for the 1-3 guests we had visit each year.  It eventually turned into my dad's "den".  It was basically a man-cave that allowed him to watch whatever he wanted on TV.   I have a feeling the extra bedroom will be Derralict's office/study room.

Also helps avoid traffic patterns getting too set and dust settling behind large furniture.

I don't like to defend Jill and Derelict, but I don't see anything wrong about having the table against the wall.  It may be the best use of the space; it doesn't look  particularly roomy and the table may get in the way of the best traffic pattern.  Also, it's fine for the boys to share a room.

Yes I agree. It bugs me that Sammy is sitting so far away from anyone by the window.

This is my only concern as well. He’s shoved in the corner with no adult next to him to help if he needs it. All so Jill and DDD can sit by each other. 

Your marriage will not fall apart if you sit on opposite sides of the table. And if it’s that fragile, you have way bigger issues than table placement.

Since Dillweed is so busy studying for upcoming finals right now, anyone want to guess how he will be spending his summer break? Working? Going to Silver Dollar City? Unpacking? I’m guessing he will be too overwhelmed from all his studies that he won’t be doing anything productive. Besthubbyevah!

Hopefully he's looking at an internship to help him actually get a career going or at else at least some kind of paid employment.

Yeah, I know this is Derick so he'll probably take Jill and the kids to DC to protest something or head out of state to go "soul winning" to already Christians.

I'm thinking there are some very religious lawyers out there for him to intern with.  His public beefs with TLC & Jaz aren't necessarily seen as negative by the type of lawyer he wants to be. 

Some of the serious conservatives would probably love to have a clerk that could ferret out all the ungodliness and abominations being perpetrated by the heathens looking to sue their righteous brethren.   Deertick is vicious enough to be that ferret.  He's just a tool, in so many ways.

If this is true, then Jill may actually end up having a decent life - 2 kids and if Dreck ends up making a good living as a lawyer. She may be pretty comfortable financially and have some time and money to “find herself “

I highly doubt Jill wants to find herself, her only goal in life (thanks to her parents brainwashing) is to have lots of babies for Jesus.

 Michelle mentioned being offered one a few times, and the Declining every time. 

I wonder if Michelle was offered a hysterectomy a few times because the drs/nurses could see she was a total nutter.

I seriously doubt Deredick does get a lot of peace and quiet to study. Jill probably knocks on the door because she cannot be away from him for five seconds.

I am surprise she is not whining about the big move and not having any siblings around to help her.

It’s sad that her siblings hasn’t helped her move, We’d know if they did because she would’ve posted it all over social media.

First of all the name Deertick quacks me up. Second ferrets and tools can be useful in some cases. Deertick is certainly not useful.

 I do not think it is sad her siblings did not help her move. She is suppose to be responsible for herself and her children. Her siblings do not owe her anything. I bet if the situation was reverse, she would not want to help one of her siblings move.

And I wish God would hit one of the them with lightning or with a two by four. God has been sending them messages for a long time, but neither one of them is bright enough to figure it out.

Re: Michelle It's less likely that they would do a hysterectomy and more likely they would do some sort of tubal ligation. It's often offered to women with large numbers of children, especially if there are health concerns. (By the time, there are double digits, it's almost a given there are health concerns.)Michelle's history of pre-eclampsia would make it more like likely. It's particularly offered if the woman is having a c-section. 

As for Jill's siblings helping with the move, they may have been busy that weekend. A lot of them were at Big Sandy, which was this weekend.  Anyway moving's a process, and she may have more help this week settling in.

Check-in for Big Sandy was yesterday afternoon. The Duggars likely left Sunday night. Plenty of time to have helped Jill move all the way up through Saturday. It's not like the Howlers pack for themselves, if Duggar history holds true. 

Oh heck, it’s not like the Howlers have anything else to do!

If Michelle was ever told to have a hysterectomy for any reason whatsoever, we'd have heard about it as she and JB would have to brag to the world how they refused to stop the baby train despite the doctors' recommendations and risk to her life.  Pretending they would court death for Jesus is part of their schtick.

I have also found that suggesting things like birth control to folks who seem a couple sandwiches short of a picnic doesn't seem to work.  If anything, they'll refuse to do it just on principal.  I doubt anyone ever suggested a hyst to Michelle, but I am sure someone at the University of Arkansas discussed the risk to her life, the risk to the baby  and told Michelle it would be best not to have more kids.  And, as we know. Michelle ignored that in hopes of having #20 and being able to brag about the special miracle God gave her when the heathen doctors told her otherwise.  Worked out just as expected, too.

You have just describe the Duggars in a nutshell so to speak. Michelle thinks she is so special because she kept having babies after being told what the risks were. Got to build God's Army don't ya know.
