Is that window in the background boarded up? (I'm assuming it's a window anyway because of the curtains). Whatever the white cover is, it looks too stiff and solid to be blinds to me, but maybe it's an American thing?

Have the Dulls ever posted a picture of their new place where you can see actual daylight? All their home photos looks rather dark and dour to me. Maybe they're going for cosy.

Um, WTF? Not only does that look strange and uncomfortable, but the hat and "swaddle" look awfully warm for indoors. And the second picture is just...???? 

Maybe she's showing him the photo of swaddled Iz on the phone. "Look, buddy, yours is less uncomfortable!"

Maybe Derrick's gofundme is really for Sammy.  It looks like he is being held hostage by some crazy woman with really bad hair.

We're missing Josiah, Joy/Austin, Jeremiah (although Jedidiah is there), James, and Justin.

I find that odd because James was in one of the other Thanksgiving pictures on the blog. You'd think if you were doing a big family photo like that you'd make sure ALL the family who was in the house got in it, but I guess in a family as big as the Duggars, they really might not notice. Good for James, if he managed to escape for some alone time.

Maybe James was taking the picture. 

That note was probably to keep all the littles off that staircase.  Isn't that a gate at the bottom of it?  Lots of rugrats there, so the note actually makes sense.  Because even with all those adults around, there probably wasn't anybody really watching them.

I don't know which one James is, but if he's post-puberty, I hope he got some alone time, and does it make me a dirty old lady if I also hope he wasn't caught doing what, in most young men, comes naturally?

Ma and Pa Kettle never gave a shit about their children. They featured them on those damn staircase pictures just to let the world know they had 19 kids... and counting. Their focus now is on the grandchildren and it looks like they are all there. They also focus on parading the married couples to show how godly they are. Because the in laws chose to be with THEM on Thanksgiving. Joy blew that one out of the water for them. Not sure when the picture was taken because Benessa spent Thanksgiving with the Seewalds.

The more I look at these pictures, the more it disturbs me. Also, why does he have a hat on indoors?

He has on a hat, thick-looking pants, and that "swaddle" and Jill is dressed in seemingly-lightweight short sleeve tee and skirt....someone in that pic is either too hot or too cold.

And yeah, that's not normal "swaddling." I only swaddled my babies when they were trying to sleep....and I didn't swaddle them like THAT. WTF.

Nope all they care about is whatever would get them on TV and now its whatever will get them back on TV. It was through their kids. Now its through their grandkids.

I wonder why the upstairs are off limits?  I can't be dirt or filth because the Duggars are immune to that.  Is someone being held hostage up there?

Voilà, the photo I christened “The Screaming Grub”.  This is the one where The Dillydumdums swaddled poor little Izzy, at the age of 9 months in Central America in the summer, no less

And then took a picture of him and posted it online. 

 

Wasn't it just a year or 2 ago when Jessa was preparing for what was obviously going to be Thanksgiving dinner but called it a "Harvest Festival" or some such instead?  At the time posters speculated that the Duggars didn't even celebrate Thanksgiving.

I'm glad someone else commented about the dark, dankness in DerJill's apartment. I thought the same thing. Don't they put lights on at night? Why not post a photo with some daylight in it? What the heck is Samuel all bundled up inside the house for? Jill is wearing a short sleeved t-shirt and a very light weight skirt. Poor kid. She really needs to know that her skirts need a hem...you don't TAKE THE EXISTING HEM OUT and wear it. She and DDD are some of the most sloppiest people I've seen lately. I bet the TTH stinks with all of those dirty diapers 'just left' where they are...in the living room???That's why Jessa had a pile of them on her bedroom furniture..she doesn't know any better. Filthy TTH.

Purely speculation but Sammy's head in the hat pictures looks a lot bigger than the no hat picture...maybe his noggin needs some reshaping and the hat is hiding a medical helmet? Then the arm swaddling might be to keep him from pulling at the straps. (Not even thinking zika, that horse is long dead)

The noggin helmets are too big to hide under that hat, based on the little ones I've seen with the melon shapers.  I thought she was using a baby wrap perhaps, then looked closer. Those poor babies.

It is so obvious that Derick and Jill have mental health problems.  No snark. I would say it no matter who they are.  Neither one of them is doing well emotionally. 

It’s been obvious for a long time, but nobody in their circle of influence would allow it to even be mentioned, let alone letting them know it’s okay (as in no shame) to get any other help besides telling them they “need to pray more” or “work on their contentment”.

I noticed that right away about Jill's skirt!  She just took a pair of sissors and chopped the hem off!  Looks like she wanted to shorten it.

When my daughter was in highschool, during her goth years, she was forever hacking away at her clothes and resewing them back together, creating "unique" pieces!

I suppose it is possible they put the hat on his had on a whim and decided it was picture worthy. I know that I have taken goofy photos of my daughters. The little one was Princess Leia at 8 months complete with a Leia bun wig. The wig lasted about he length of time it took for a photo then I took it off. Let s hope Samuel's hat was the same. I also think Samuel looks comfortable in his swaddling which tells me it's something they regularly do. However, that doesn't make it appropriate or acceptable to swaddle in that manner. It seems much like blanket training swaddling style. It seems less about the comfort of the child and more about the control of a parent. It is lazy parenting. Want your kid to go to sleep? Swaddle him until he gets bored enough to sleep. Want to teach your toddler not to do something? Swaddle him as punishment until he is fearful enough to not do it anymore. lazy, mean and self serving. And Jilly muffin? Wash your hair.

Jill can dress however she wants in her own home. They are entitled (I guess) to their own bad parenting, too. Why, though, just why do they keep posting this shit on-line? This is their brand, and their livelihood, and it's just a disaster. What are they going for -- certainly not clean-cut, young Christian family. How about hip young Christian missionary family? No, not really.

The pictures from the U of A were nice, and they're now completely undercut by this mess. The Dillards insist on portraying themselves as slovenly and lazy adults with a bizarre "alternative" parenting style. they really need to start curating their posts better.

That explains the first picture, which could have a "Look at my goofy baby" vibe to it if it were not for the second picture, in which Jill seems to be going about her day while Samuel is wrapped up like I don't know what, and would seemingly quickly become overheated...
