Dereck has a foot fetish?

🤮🤮🤮

Jill has posted photos of him giving her a foot massage and polishing her toes on more than one occasion, so we've speculated that he has a thing for feet.

Also, in an episode where a bunch of Duggars all went to have pedicures, Derick's face was positively orgasmic during his own pedicure.

Now we know where all the lotion goes. . . . 😖

I feel sorry for anyone who has to touch his feet.

I didn't get the photo of Derick standing with the leftovers either.  He looked so proud! I guess I'm just happy those plastic containers weren't the serving containers!

Poor Izzy looks so upset in the group picture; I'm hoping he didn't just get a spank.  That's what he looks like to me.

He looks like he either got a spanking or was promised one as soon as the guests left.

After looking at some of the Friendsgiving photos and other photos of the group of friends they hang out with does anyone think Jill and Derick belong to some sort of fundie recovery support group? Not that they've broken completely away from the fundie church, but that all these  friends (not "sweet friends" which I noted) wear pants, they all seem really young, and something about the self-help books Jill's posted that she's been reading and some of her posts about leaving abusive relationships makes me think that this particular group of friends might all have had some traumatic experiences within the fundie community and for whatever reason need a support group while still being in the safety net of the fundie community. I have no idea if it's true, just a hunch. 

I only say this because the other day I read an article about an Evangelical activist who is very vocal traveling around the country saying that Evangelical churches do not do more to stop abuse and mistreatment of women. And she's working with pastors and fundie communities to stop the conspiracy of silence than can feel like a prison for people who are struggling. 

[Sew Sumi]

I think they're simply friends from church. Someone tagged Jill's female friend in the comments, saying that she didn't realize she'd had another "blessing." So yeah, church.

You know, you might be on to something. Even if it is not a formal group, I could see people with similar backgrounds still banding together as an informal support group or just bonding over a shared experience. 

I went to a conservative Christian college in the Ozarks, and it was not hard to find people who were still religious to some degree--often quite devoutly--but were still rejecting aspects of their sheltered fundie childhoods. So, yeah, I can totally see her finding a group who may well have also come from sheltered homeschool families, if not exactly IBLP.

I don't care if her aprons are frumpy.  My grandma wore the same kind.  They cover your clothes really well and often have nice pockets to hold stuff.  As long as it serves the purpose, frumpy or not, I'm ok with it.

Jill should have saved that for a weekday. Derelict was studying, and he posted about the kids bursting into his office to show him the houses (after Sam had eaten his).

It sucks that they interrupted his study session but I love that they’re getting to do normal holiday activities!

Derelict doesn’t sound too crabby about the interruption, so YAY! They must have done their Dullard Thanksgiving yesterday with Cathy.

Maybe this is vintage now, I haven’t seen these aprons in ages.

Yes, I saw pics of them watching the OSU game on their big screen.

Did Jill add Common Cowboys across the post again? Still makes me laugh.

Indeed she did:

[McManda]

Does Jill not know the difference between "common" and the contraction for "come on"? Because once is say it was auto correct but twice is suspect.

To Jill: "common" =\= "c'mon". 

[Sew Sumi]

Maybe that's how it's said at OSU? That's all I got.

[3 is enough]

I don't get it.  If they are ok with the boys watching the parade and various kid shows on the laptop, why not just get a decent sized tv?  They are so affordable, especially this time of year.

[GeeGolly]

Jill threw the bib on Sam after the whole thing was done.

And gingerbread houses are okay, but remember kids, Derick wants you all to know, Santa isn't real.

All that said, I too agree that Jill is becoming Fundy-lite.

[Absolom]

Following her headship's lead as she's been taught, she's going plain old SBC.  That is an improvement over Gothard for sure and could lead to ending homeschooling for the kids.

I bet Jill doesn't want one, too much competition for Derick's attention.

[QuinnInND]

It's nice to see the boys doing something normal!  I think their houses are adorable. And I was surprised Deertick wasn't angry they disturbed him. Which is a good thing. I'm glad they're not afraid to bother him. 

[awaken]

Glad to see them doing a normal activity! Although of course she’s leading them on in the video- “do you love it?! Where’s your candy?!”

At least she listened and doesn't have one on Iz.  Maybe we can all send her parenting tips via Instagram.

[cmr2014]

Derick has seemed tons happier recently. He seems much more engaged and less irritated by the kids, and he isn't mocking Jill. I wonder if he's agreed to another baby and is getting more lotion time?

OMG, I had no clue that's what she meant. That's so sad.

I want to know if Jill bleached the tub after she thawed her turkey?

I know I would have the heebie jeebies knowing a raw turkey was anywhere near where I bathe.

In the video, it looked like the turkey was sitting in a cooler inside the bathtub.  Doesn't seem any different than thawing it in the sink to me.  I would hope she scrubbed the tub before bathing the kids though.

But, my bare ass doesn't sit and bathe in a kitchen sink😉. It's just my personal, semi-OCD hang up. Personally, I am not interested in a turkey thawing in my tub, in a cooler or not. I'm bored at work post holiday, so just looking for something to poke at.🤭

Where are they going to learn about boundaries?  Jill probably encouraged them to show him right then 

[PradaKitty]

Maybe Derrick is nicer because he’s finally out of pain? Or... he’s got some mood elevators!

Yeah, because gotta grab those photo ops.

[Growsonwalls]

Jill's spelling reminds me of many of my students who are extremely low-level readers. They often spell things phonetically. Like they'll say "close" instead of "clothes" because that's how they pronounce it. Or "tryna" instead of "trying to." 

Only difference is my kids live in extreme poverty. But then again I guess it's fair to say that the Duggars kept their kids in extreme poverty -- not materially, but educationally, emotionally and psychologically. So it's not surprising that they exhibit some of the same behaviors (the freeloading, lack of understanding of what to put on social media, horrid grammar) of kids who actually are brought up in extreme poverty.

[Sew Sumi]

I really think that Jill got that spelling from Derelict. I think it's an OSU thing.

I don't love the clothes, but Jill looks so much better than usual.  Whoever took these pictures, along with whoever handled her hair and makeup, deserves to take a bow.

That top looks like it was constructed from the hides of dead Teddy bears.

I'm not sure about thawing turkeys, but kids and adults have become ill after bathing in tubs that weren't scrubbed clean after bathing pet reptiles. I used to bath my babies in the kitchen sink. It was scrubbed clean before and after their baths.

[Sew Sumi]

I never knew that about bathing reptiles. You learn something new every day on this board. 😀

Is that where the usual bibs come from, too?  Hopefully Jill has done away with those, at least for Izzy.  

Another cash grab from the placemat place?  I really wonder how much these internet "influencers" make from posting those places.

No the bibs are Baby Bjorn, you can get them at Target/Amazon. Definitely not religious. I had them for my oldest and he’s 13 now...and he still wears it. 
 

j/k He stopped wearing it well before he was two. But they were awesome at catching food and easy to clean.

Ha I need to wear a bib. I’m a messy eater to this day. 

[PradaKitty]

Although Jill looks healthy nd clean in her most recent modeling” photo with the giant brown/beige sweater, that pose is asinine. She’s posing like a 3 year old.

No way. He's dumb, but in a different way then Jill. Those boys are domed (doomed) without a real education.

[Growsonwalls]

Derick can spell. Derick can write in complete sentences. Ben Seewald can spell. Ben can write in complete sentences. Jeremy Vuolo can spell. Jeremy Vuolo can write in complete sentences.

The lack of education in the J'slaves compared to their fundie spouses is sad. And from my experience over time it does cause a huge rift in the marriage. It's not an obvious rift like violence/infidelity/alcoholism/drug addiction. But it's more insidious, as husband and wife have less and less to talk about. 

Those old marriage manuals that urged wives to "read newspapers" while their husbands were away at work so they could talk about the day's events when he came home are sexist but they had a point -- home and hearth aren't enough to keep a marriage happy. You do have to be able to talk about things on the same level. 

It's why I think JB and Michelle in their disgusting way have a strong marriage. They are on the same ignorant, simple level. And it's why I do have hope for Jill and Jessa. Jill I see reading self-help books and making 'sweet friends' outside of the TTH circle. Jessa also seems to read non-fundie related books to her kids and watches non-fundie entertainment. They are trying to branch out. Jinger is actually the one I worry about the most. Other than expensive tastes and professional photography I don't see her really trying NEW things.
