I'd think Jill would know if Izzy had an accident bad enough to damage his teeth. Then again, it's Jill. Maybe she heard Izzy crying and told him to suck it up, buttercup. She was probably recording a video at the time. If he wasn’t in the frame, she didn’t see it. 🤷🏼♀️ 1 3 Link to comment

If they're not thinking about Jesus 100% of the time; if they don't always love a sibling; if they aren't always cheerfully obedient; if they feel anger or resentment toward a parent (or, in this case, a child), they become confused and terrified that they are "bad." There's no one that they can confide in because they're sure that the others don't have these terrible thoughts. They have no frame of reference from books, movies, friends, etc. to give them some perspective that these kinds of thoughts are pretty normal. I agree. They grew up with Jesus 24/7 and have maintained that into their adulthood. They are married into it as well. All their "friends" are the same. What else do they really know? Maybe Jill would like to put the boys in a pre-school, but feels she will be shamed. We know Derick when to school/college. Why can't her boys? Maybe they will when they are old enough for kindergarten. I just wonder if these Duggar girls with kids, often wish they could do some "normal" things in life, but fear JB, MEchelle and their siblings will knock them down for doing so. 1 8 Link to comment

It looks like ribbons braided or woven in but I doubt that. I'm sure she has all kinds of tangles, knots & matted portions underneath that mop, sick or not. A portion of my hair got matted & knotted up once when I was sick in the hospital. It was awful & my sister ended up cutting part of it out & mine was only shoulder length. Too bad Jill's wasn't bad enough to need cutting off. ETA: think I figured it out by enlarging. Is it just the lighter background showing thru? Edited September 21, 2019 by Barb23 5 Link to comment

And she may love them, but she doesn’t like them She’s a bad mom because she is burned out from being a sister Mom and a buddy Mom for pretty much her entire life ( as far back as she can remember). She thought she was getting out of that at least for a few years because she didn’t really think she would get pregnant on her honeymoon. She thought Derick would somehow manage to be around all day like JB( since JB has a ready made work crew). Instead she’s a stay at home Mom without a clue and a husband who doesn’t either. She doesn’t remember what Michelle’s life was like when the sister Moms were under 7. Edited September 22, 2019 by mythoughtis 13 Link to comment

The part Jill has conveniently forgotten is that her mother had 7 kids in about 7 years and a nervous breakdown in the laundry room before she got other people, including her very young daughters, to do all the messy grunt work of motherhood. It was another 4 years and 4 kids before Jim Bob ran for state Senate and Michelle started getting positive public attention for having all those cute kids. And then another several years and several kids before "14 Kids and Pregnant Again" aired and Michelle started getting positive attention nationwide, plus the family started to climb out of poverty. 20 Link to comment

Like MeChelle, Jill thought she would pop out babies every year and then hand them off to her sister moms. I think Jill didn't plan on her sisters getting married so soon and having blessings of their own. Maybe Jill even expected the younger girls like Hannie and Jennie to step up and sister mom since they are now older than Jill herself was as a sister mom, sort of like a screwed up circle of life thing? 11 Link to comment

I know a lot of posters on here think Jill is unattractive, but I don't think she's a bad-looking woman at all. She has very striking eyes and is pretty when she's not making those weird-ass faces. She just doesn't know how to help herself look nice. And she could totally lop off a foot of her hair, still have very long hair, and it would look so much better. I say this as someone who once had hair as long as hers. 30 Link to comment

I'm one of the people who consistently says that Jill is less attractive than her sisters, but that's not because she's inherently unattractive. She obviously thinks that her long, unhealthy hair is attractive -- it's not. She wears her hair up occasionally, and it looks nice. Maintaining super-long hair like that is time consuming and as a #boymom, she doesn't seem to have the time to take care of it. She could cut it (a lot), or wear it up, but she should try to find something that she can maintain. Her clothing choices are awful. She has no sense of style, and no ability to gauge what looks good on her. But, in true Diggar fashion, she has no interest in input from others. She would have to ask for -- and accept - input from others on her fashion choices. She doesn't really take care of herself. We see some half-hearted effort, but it appears that she mostly eats garbage, seldom bathes, and is unwilling to carve out any time for herself for any type of self-improvement. She's constantly mugging for the camera with her "surprised face" and her plastered on smile. This goes a lot deeper than the other issues and is the result of Gothardism and a lifetime on reality TV. She would need to get in touch with her real, actual feelings and what actually makes her happy. That would probably involve a lifetime of therapy (that she's not willing to consider), and some real self-reflection (that I don't think she's capable of performing). 27 Link to comment
