But she didn't post about Joe and Kendra's girl, or did she?

That's what I'm thinking - that TLC pays some sort of "Duggar Family Trust", instead of a batch of individuals; which means he can negotiate for everybody.  How/if this continues to work when everyone reaches their age of majority, I do not know.  

If JB controls who gets what, and reading between the Derrick bitter lines that’s exactly what happens, then what keeps them all “sweet” is whether Big Daddy will cut off the cash.

As the family gets bigger and the post-Joshgate checks get smaller, this could very well get ugly.

Lots of quarries around me.   Just saying.  

It's a combo of Dreck being a naive doofus that was 'wow I'm going to get laid!' mode and and also being what he thought was a fine upstanding Christian man (though really he's a self righteous prick) that has led to his current situation.   Whenever I think I might feel sorry for him, I think about his sledding into the cat.  Then I get over my sympathy.    

That's about the size of it. No doubt. 

But, as i so often point out, Bin joyfully and very deliberately pointed him toward the cat and gave him a mighty push in its direction. So when you drop your sympathy for Der, we should all be fair and drop it for Bin as well (if we're feeling any) because they absolutely were equally responsible.

They did it, of course, for the reason you state "wow, I'm going to get laid." Both totally blinded by that -- And, I suppose, with some reason, since before and during the anti-cat push, they were surrounded by Duggar women and girls, screaming and giggling in high-pitched voices "Git eeem! Git eeem!" 

That's the Duggar ethos right there......

.And while what Der and Bin did pisses me off, I do think that, left to their own devices, it's likely that neither would even have thought of doing it, let alone actually doing it ....

It's the empathiless, arrogant, nasty, petty, cruel regime of Duggardom, led by JB and Meeechelle (with a side of Bill Gothard), that's the worst culprit in all of it. As usual.

Actually, aside from the misaligned mouth, Derelict looks the most like he did pre-surgery in that pic. 

OK, so Jilly posted a congrats to Joe and Kendra, but not Josiah and Lauren? Interesting. I don't think we can attribute this one to Jill's separation from her family. (To be sure, I don't think Jill is really estranged from her siblings, or from Michelle for that matter.)

I think the Duggar kidults have very limited knowledge of real world, contracts and finances, so they didn't even know what they are agreeing to or what are their options.

But their spouses on the other hand I think know more. At least Jeremy, maybe Derrick. Lauren surely not

I remember the Duggar homefooling had a course on contracts Michelle bragged about. Maybe the lesson was never to read anything before signing. 

Derick had a paying job as an accountant with a large company. He quit or was fired for taking too much time off.  Derick chose to go with Duggar/TLC money to fund his dreams, and he got burned. If he finishes law school and passes the bar, at least he can get a normal job again. He can go after JB and spill some dirt, but other than revenge and some magazine exclusives, he's not apt to achieve much. Derrick is no Clarence Darrow, and he needs to grow up and realize he and his plain wife are just not that special.

He definitely doesn't look as disturbingly sickly and skinny there.

Holy crap, a nice picture of Derick and Jill?! Has hell frozen over?

Jill looks very nice in that picture.

Jill hanging out with the Seewalds while Derelict is at his conference.

[galaxychaser]

Not one yay! 

Yay! 🤣🤣🤣

[PradaKitty]

Why do people think I want to see pictures of what they’re eating?

[Sew Sumi]

I don't mind pictures of a chef's gorgeous creation, but half-eaten plates of food? Just no. 

I also question Jill having to accompany Derelict all the way to Little Rock. Why couldn't she just stay home like normal people? She could have taken the kids to see Cathy if Mima hadn't seen them in a while.

I’m glad Jill got to spend some time away from hubby and kids. Kids had fun with grandma! Probably ate an apple.

I really don’t care for expression sweet friend.

Maybe Derick has learned to put his best side to the camera. I thought all  photographed celebrities knew this.

It's in his eyes - the same creepy look.

True! But I do think his actual face itself looks less skeletal. 

[PradaKitty]

Hmm.. They sure look happy when the kids aren’t around. 

[awaken]

Hmmm,  I didn’t realize jill had a relationship with the seewald family? At least not enough to hang out with them on her own!

Wheee, can’t wait to see her modeling the new fashions!

It's truly so sad that they are stuck in such a rigid belief system, free from any sort of introspection or critical thinking. I wish they could admit to each other that they find the kids annoying, and do something to fix it. There are sooooo many lifestyles out there besides traditional gender roles! If they could just admit there's a problem, they could find a lifestyle that works for them. Jill should be able to say she needs more help with the kids, and wants to pursue a job for part of the day. Derick should be able to also vocalize what about the kids annoys him...maybe their noise level while he is studying...and agree to help Jill with consistency and routines. It just sucks that they both stay so clearly unhappy, while resenting their kids, when there are other options. They will one day look back and wish they had enjoyed their kids more.

I don't think she does. I think it's more about Jill not being "allowed" to EVER BE ALONE.

If she has one minute of time that isn't accounted for, she needs to fill it up with "fellowshipping" with any of the tiny group of like-minded people she's allowed to interact with.

[ginger90]

Jill is at a loss when she has “free time”.

[EVS]

My husband was telling me today about an old Saturday Night Live skit. It was a commercial spoof for a product called the “Love Toilet”. I immediately thought of clingy Jill.

Hopefully this link works.

Ha, I watched that when it originally aired. I'm not sure Jill needs any ideas on how to be even more clingy, though.

I have no problem with Jill dropping the kids off at Cathy's to follow Derick wherever he goes. I'm pretty sure Cathy gives Israel as much love and attention that she gives Sam and has fun and age-appropriate activities and expectations. She might be fundy, but she seems to be a good grandma.

Ha, totally remember that from when it was on SNL!  Can see Jill doing this as one of her special intimacy activities!

Oh my! I, um, have a story about some people who could use the Love Toilet but will take it to Prayer Closet.

This reads like someone who is trying to convince others that she's not desperately drowning. She's trying to make light of the issues, but I don't buy it. Just because you complain in a somewhat lighthearted tone doesn't mean you're not at the end of your rope. 

If jill hasn't had any more kids yet because she realizes she can't handle the job, then I have much more respect for her than I ever thought I would!

[ginger90]

“They’re in trouble”, take a picture. 🤦‍♀️
 

Why is it “they’re”, when it was Sam??

Edited November 18, 2019 by ginger90

[galaxychaser]

If there is birth control it’s because D insist on it.

[PradaKitty]

Didn’t you know? Izzy’s job is to keep Sammy from doing anything “bad”. 

[Sew Sumi]

Well, given Sam's track record of mischief, Izzy is doing a poor job! 

[sheshark]

I never got a kid-free weekend until the youngest went away to college. And it wasn't torture.  Nor would I have taken toilet pictures, or allowed my kid to put the toilet roll in his mouth.  #TwoBoysandAGirlMom

[GeeGolly]

Does Jill ever watch her kids when they're at home? And where's her mommy-sense? 9 out of 10 times I would catch my kids before they got into mischief. Like if it was too quiet, or I heard sounds from the bathroom, or I heard whispers, a chair scraping along the floor ...

How much lotion can one person rub on?

The older Israel gets the more he looks like his dad.

Jill with whatever this is, Jessa blasting Spurgie for peeing his pants while potty training, I’m so grateful Im not growing up in this age. 
(and that my parents do not care about social media.)

[JennyMominFL]

I was house hunting  with a friend in the UK and we saw a bathroom that had 2 toilets, both facing each other. They were clearly toilets not bidets. We were very puzzled

[SMama]

I’ve never encountered anyone so proud of their incompetence. Look at me! After one bathroom oops I don’t bother to watch my child closely and he is using the toilet bowl to wash his spoon. YAY! Fucking moron. They have baby proofed the door to Derelict’s office, why not do the same with the bathroom, and any other areas that may lead to mischief.

[Sew Sumi]

It's obvious to us, but apparently the thought hasn't occurred to either of the Dullards.
