Popular Post Teriacky April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share April 2, 2022 When it was announced that Derek was going to law school I figured he would wash out in his first year. I am impressed that he was able to complete school and sit the bar twice, especially with a family (not to mention his wife’s extended family of undereducated yahoos) and other obligations. I also sat the bar exam (California) twice and trust me, that was HARD! Kudos to Derek (and Jill)! 27 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4651-jill-derick-the-kids-moving-on/page/1287/#findComment-7378402

Swimming lessons would require that the kids be out of her immediate sphere of influence for an hour a week. God only knows the "pro-Satan" message the swim instructor at the Y could impart in that time. 3. I don't think any of them really associate swimming with fun. Swimming in a lot of clothing isn't fun, and I would consider it dangerous (I wouldn't let a kid in my care swim fully clothed unless I knew he was a strong swimmer).

I think this seems likely, since Jill describes herself as only mastering the doggy paddle because she “slacked off.” With a trained teacher or involved parents, “slacking off” wouldn’t have been an option. Some adult would have made damn sure that she picked up potentially life-saving knowledge regardless of whether she was self-motivated. Jill implicitly blaming her child-self for her insufficient grasp of a valuable skill made me mad at Boob and J’Chelle all over again. 25 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4651-jill-derick-the-kids-moving-on/page/1287/#findComment-7380837

SMama April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 (edited) I initially questioned why at least Israel was not in swim lessons. Then I took a good look in the mirror. SBaba had the same swimming trajectory as Derick. Two days after meeting SBaby we were at the hotel pool and SBaby was so comfortable that he got her to place her face under water. Father and daughter never looked back. At home we had access to the community pool and SBaba took care of the swim lessons. When SGirl was five we decided to sign her up for swimming classes. SGirl did the water safety, then swim lessons, and already had good free and backstrokes. The swimming teacher asked us what we wanted for SGirl, because she didn’t see the need for us to pay for private lessons when she would easily qualify for a swim team. It had not occurred to us that she was ready. The teacher was right, SGirl has been swimming competitively since. If Covid gives us a break, SGirl is going to take the Jr. Lifeguard training this summer. We have told her for years that being a lifeguard pays much better than flipping burgers, and working outdoors is a plus. So I can see Derick doing the same with his kids since like begets like. It would be nice if Derick works with Jill now that she wears normal bathing suits. It has to be freeing not being weighted down by that awful modest, maxi dress. Izzy and Sam (and hopefully the Dillard cousins) in competitive swimming would be so good for the family. If it happens it will create a greater divide between them and the Duggars cousins.

ginger90 April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 From an article about Felicity taking swimming lessons when they moved to California: “Our oldest set of kids, they learned how to swim. They took swimming lessons,” Jim Bob said. “And then the younger kids have all got a lot of time swimming at a house that we owned for a while that had a swimming pool in the back yard.” But a few of the middle kids didn’t get the chance to spend much time splashing in the pool, the parents of 19 explained. “There’s a few of them that probably don’t feel really comfortable getting in the water,” Michelle said. A couple of Jinger’s siblings confirmed they weren’t exactly expert swimmers.
