QuinnInND January 31, 2020 Share January 31, 2020 My twins will be 4 in April, and they haven't used a sippy cup or bib in over a year. The boys are far too old for that nonsense. I'm glad they get to go on play dates. Being around other kids and playing is good for them. Sam looks so cute with the omelet. Jill looks good on the pic with the red shirt. As for the TTC, whoever said tots should be crunchy can have them that way. I hate crunchy tots and fries. Yes, I'm odd. I never got much to eat at home, but my mother was a good cook. I never got more than tablespoon full of each item, but what I got was tasty. 2 1 Link to comment

Because he makes fellow water drinkers look dishonest. Because it's technically stealing and Thou Shalt Not Steal. And because I don't like JB. 48 Link to comment

JoanArc January 31, 2020 Share January 31, 2020 Jill’s upgraded to Corelle plates! Hopefully that’s a permanent change that breaks from her past, even if she has to actually wash dishes now. Maybe Derreck did the math and showed her how much cheaper it is to actually own plates and silverware and glasses Vs disposables. He didn’t even have to become a dirty environmentalist to convince her! 18 Link to comment

SMama February 1, 2020 Share February 1, 2020 Jill has an advantage must of us were lucky to do without. When she wed and left the home (5 years ago?) there were still much younger siblings around. JB & M have mellowed in some ways, but they surely are still crushing their children’s souls, dreams, and individuality. Add the fact that if true she can no longer visit the TTH at will. The golden daughter reduced to ask permission to visit her childhood home. Jill may be incapable of insight, but with the right guidance she may be able to recognize things are not as normal as she was led to believe. She seems to be reading about boundaries and toxic relationships. Jill has posted things written by others that apply to her situation, I’m hoping for baby steps. Of course I could be completely wrong. 23 Link to comment

lookeyloo February 1, 2020 Share February 1, 2020 Maybe Jill is gaining insight. Hope so, for her sake and for those boys. I wonder if she longs for the TTH and begs to come over, or, she is beginning to have an inkling of all that, and while she might miss some of the younger kids, is just going to "let it go". I also wonder if she and some of the other Kidults, such as Joy, Jesse, Joe, etc. find ways to get together off campus, or do they have to clear it with daddy dearest. 17 Link to comment
Jynnan tonnix February 1, 2020 Share February 1, 2020 2 hours ago, GeeGolly said: I'm not sure Jill has enough insight to realize her childhood has similarities to that post. Yes...hard to figure out what Jill's response to this was all about. Was it beautiful because in her mind her parents were somehow still as perfect as they portrayed themselves as, or beautiful because she has come to realize how many of these things happened within their own family with the result that the kids don't have the relationship with JB and Michelle that they might have liked? The Duggar offspring pretty much all spout the party line about what wonderful, caring parents they have, who gave them so many wonderful memories of growing up, and I think that, for the most part, they actually believe it. I'm sure their childhoods were not altogether devoid of good moments, and those combined with the lessons ingrained into them left them with overall impressions of having grown up in somewhat privileged circumstances compared to the ungodly masses. Then again, Derick seems to have really soured on the Duggar ways since back in the day that he sought out JB as a prayer partner, and passed this feeling on to Jill, so who knows. I do think that they are definitely working their way out of the cult, though, and while I still don't like Derick, and wish he had gentler means of getting his points across, I think that at the end of the day he has been sort of pointing her in a slightly better direction. 16 Link to comment

She’s kind of blind to the fact that her kids are, well, kids, who require actual parenting. Of course, as always, it is hard to blame her as she no baseline to determine what a normal life is.

I think Jill reads posts about parenting and 'reflects' how she is parenting, and is going to parent, not how she was parented. 7 Link to comment

If Jim Bob really is ostracizing Jill, I'm sure that he's going to make sure that none of the other kids meet up with her on the sly. Since none of them are allowed to leave the compound without an "accountability partner" anyway, all he has to do is make sure not to pair up two kids who might both be sympathetic to Jill and might conspire against him. I'm not entirely sure, however, that Jill is as unwelcome at the TTH as Derick claims. I think that he's the one who's really banned and that Jill has to call ahead for permission to come over, just to assure her father that she's not bringing Derick with her. This would fit better with Jim Bob's paranoia and obsessive need for control. You don't complete disown a child who displeases you because then the child "wins", i.e. the child is now free of your influence and you can't give orders or keep tabs on them. Instead, you maintain contact and keep holding out the possibility of "love and forgiveness" once the child has been sufficiently punished and submits to whatever conditions you want to place on her.
