I seriously love Israel’s enthusiasm, and am sad that Jill’s poor and limited education doesn’t allow her to express enthusiasm in any way but by saying ‘yay’ over and over

She's uneducated, yes, but she's also very dumb. Compare her articulation to Jessa's, for example.

Israel is really cute in that video.  His language skills are age appropriate and he's so excited about his birthday cake.  He really looks like Derick, but he's cute anyway.    Jill doesn't seem to listen to him much.  

 

Jill seems like the kind of mother who focuses her energy on children she hopes for in the future rather than the two lovely boys she already has. For her, motherhood is about being pregnant.

This might be one of the most awesome backhanded compliments ever!

It's funny how Jill and Derrick aren't on the show anymore but they get the most board activity as they desperately try to stay relevant and in the public eye while he proves his "worth" as the leader of his family and future super preacher/missionary.  I wouldn't be surprised if he pictures himself as the next Billy Graham, and he probably thinks he deserves to reach that level of recognition.  Meanwhile he's OK living off grifting the fans for donations and spending his wife's interest earnings (if and when JB loosens the purse strings and lets them dip into that money).  Of course even Billy knew when to be discreet and when to temper comments so he didn't alienate the audience he was trying to reach, Derrick has absolutely no filter from whatever thought he wants to roll off his brain which is exactly why he has and will continue to slowly alienate all but the most devout fans.  If he had a clue he'd being handling things the exact opposite of how he has been.  Missionary 101; do not insult or degrade those you are trying to "reach".  Pushing them away with holier than thou disdain doesn't exactly scream come to my side you'll love it here.

She absolutely doesn't listen to him!   When she had the idiotic post from them in the car with Derick wearing the idiotic hat....  She was trying to get Israel to respond to her question while he was busy trying to explain that he had to take his shoe off due to the ROCK in it!    Meanwhile, Derick was ignoring the entire conversation.   PARENTS OF THE YEAR, FOLKS.   

It is so sad because time after time, I have noticed that they don't really listen to what he's trying to say.   Jill tries to tell him what to say instead.   They clearly don't think Israel has anything of value to say.   Too sad.

One of Izzy's birthday photos on the Dillard's site is labeled "celebrating at the big house with Jill's family."  They got that right, the "Big House" is a prison for the Duggar kids. 

[Barb23]

Some thoughts after perusing thru the Dullard's site:

Sammy is sitting in the high chair in one of Jill's videos.  I'm figuring the birthday boy got relegated to the high chair across the room for his birthday party since there wasn't much room at the table.  Like others have said, they couldn't even make room for him at the table when they did the cake.

Besides the plain white undershirt Derick was wearing at the dinner, he also had on a pair of dark gym-like shorts. I guess he has taken on the Duggar way of getting dressed - just grab whatever is handy. Jeremy  probably had a coronary when he saw how sloppily Derick was dressed.

I wonder if Jill & Derick think about the spacious nicely furnished McMansion they left behind.  Now they are living in a small apartment with two kids.  It doesn't even have a separate eating area like most apartments do since they are always pictured eating at the table in the kitchen.  But then again, maybe less is more (and best) for this family. (No offense to people who live in small apartments.) 

I'm hoping Izzy will be allowed to go to a Christian preschool since he seems so bright & to meet kids his age. I would think Cross Church would have some type of program since they are a big church.  Even going to Sunday School would be great for Izzy. I wonder if he's allowed.

The apartment looks really cramped and cluttered. I know grifters can't be choosers, but they must be going stir-crazy in that place. And to think, if Derick had kept his Wally World job and hadn't gotten his family booted off the show, they could've owned their own home by now.

I wonder why they had two separate parties.  Is there some reason Derrick's family couldn't attend the gathering at the TTH? 

It just seems a bit strange they had this sad little party at the cramped apartment with the Dillards and then this other, seemingly much bigger and nicer party, at the Duggar house. Is Cathy on the outs with Jim Bob and  Michelle or something?

It just occurred to me ... they don't show Derrick in the pics or video of the Duggar party.  Hmmm.  LOL  Maybe he was holding the camera.  Surely it couldn't be that they had to have two separate parties because the two sides of the family can't be under the same roof ... Could it?

Sammy looks very cute being excited for Izzy, without having any idea what either of them are excited about.   They seem to have good and loving interaction.

I'm no fan of Cathy, but I'd prefer the smaller party with my side and a better chance to interact with the grands over the zoo at the Big House.

They really could have! They could own the beautiful Stoneybrook house that they first lived in, near Wally World, and Derick could do missioncations in his own free time. Barnacle jill would also have HAD to learn some degree of independence. Plus, if they had had prenatal care and insurance through Wally World, they probably wouldn't have had such awful birth stories, and jill could maybe have her litter of 19. Their life started out so promising, and then went completely downhill!

I don't think it's that atypical. In-laws sometimes just don't "click" for whatever reason and it's easier to just have separate celebrations than try and plan one big one together. It's also possible the Byrums wanted time with Israel alone to spoil him (i.e. give him a ton of gifts that maybe he wouldn't get at his other party and they didn't want anyone to feel bad) and didn't want to compete with his other set of grandparents. They also may not have been able to attend the other party because Cathy and her husband both still work (AFAIK) and the big party could have been at a bad time. Plenty of non-conspiracy reasons, lol. I rarely had a birthday party with both sides of my family attending, but that was mainly due to the fact that one side of my family lived very far away. 

Interesting theories ... I wonder how Boob and MEchelle feel about it, though. 

Assuming that you are right and Cathy and her husband wanted a smaller separate party for the essentially "innocent" reasons you suggest (timing, one-on-one time with Izzy, lavish piles of gifts being over the top compared to what the Duggars give), I could still see Jim Bob and Michelle side-eyeing Cathy and her husband preferring to not attend the shindig at the TTH. If there wasn't tension before, this surely created some.

The idea of timing things around a job doesn't exist in the Duggar's world so I can see them not appreciating such a consideration. Despite this, given that neither Jim Bob or Michelle have jobs (nor do their kids attend school), they really should have been willing to accommodate the schedules of Cathy and her husband (and the son and his wife).  Was someone unwilling to collaborate or compromise? 

I also doubt the Duggars are able to appreciate the idea of wanting one-on-one time with a child (for obvious reasons).  And it seems like Cathy actually watches Israel a pretty fair amount of the time.  I'm not sure this rationale for having a second party would carry much weight for Jim Bob and Michelle. Nor would the idea that they couldn't come to the party because they just had so many special awesome gifts they had to stay away, lest they show up JB and Michelle and leave all the other little children feeling shortchanged. I think they would find that insulting. 

Nope. They clearly hate each other.  LOL I'm just joking, but I could actually see there being a lot of tension everyone just wanted to avoid. Derek managed to get Jill and himself fired from the show. JB apparently kicked them out of the Fancy House (I presume). Cathy is all in on Derrick and his twatter escapades, some of which have called into question the financial stranglehold Jim Bob seems to have on everyone. Things were probably already uncomfortable, and the pterodactyl Cathy and her husband requiring a private party for Izzy's birthday likely didn't help matters.

Many people live in small places and manage to survive, but we are talking about the Dullards here. Plus the fact, Jill thinks she is all that when it comes to care for pregnant women, so I do not think she would have gotten some decent prenatal care even if she had the chance and had insurance. Remember she is a top notch midwife, so no need to go to a real doctor who has the education and know how to take care of her and her unborn baby.

Haha that is very true! Jill thinks she knows best. When I think about their lovely McMansion, the main thing I remember is light...light everywhere. They had so many huge windows, and I remember all the scenes they filmed looking like a beautiful summer day. Their new apartment, on the other hand, looks so dank and dark. The imagery is definitely very appropriate! I could just hear my high school English teacher saying, "describe how the light and dark imagery reflects the state of their marriage." I live in a one-bedroom apartment myself, but it doesn't look like a crypt. I don't know if they prefer to have it that dark, or if there just aren't enough windows, but I would certainly get depressed in there!

Just think how it would look if they actually put things away!  It may not be as cramped if they knew how to use closets/drawers etc.

To be honest, could her immune system take being at the big house?  I wouldn't want to be around that many slovenly people who don't prioritize cleanliness with a MY immune system and I haven't had her health problems.  Isn't cleanliness next to godliness a thing?

I agree the chaos of the TTH may be something Cathy wants to avoid.

Good points! I think Cathy is retired and I don't know about her husband. Dan definitely works, so he probably had to work. Then Cathy would want to spend time with Derick and Dan together and their families. That seems logical. 

[BitterApple]

Agree with the above comments. Cathy is whackadoodles, but anyone who doesn't want to spend time at the petri dish known as the TTH will always get a pass from me.

With that said though, I live for speculation and unsubstantiated rumors, so I'll happily believe there's a family feud going on. 

[floridamom]

After watching Israel's birthday 'cake' video, I too, saw that Jill's house is a mess. I don't think she takes the time to put ANYTHING away. What a mountain of pots, pans and dishes she has next to the sink. How much does she cook for basically TWO adults and little Izzy? Sam doesn't count yet.

 

I never knew that "Jiffy" made cake mixes. I noticed only their corn muffin mix. Wouldn't a box of Jiffy cake mix be a bit small for 7 people?

I certainly hope that these two idiots, Jill and DDD, know that staying in ONE PLACE for a while would be in their children's best interest? Israel would soar in a nice little school with children his own age and SOME TIME AWAY from Jill every day.

Yes, Cross Church does have a preschool, I looked it up.  I think Izzy should go there now, and have interactions with other children and other adults.  After all if it's good enough for Derilick, shouldn't it be good enough for their kids?

Yes, which is why Jill's cake looks like Cookie Monster took a shit on a plate. Just a squat blue cowpie which, I noticed, they presented to the birthday boy backwards, with the decorations facing the camera instead of HIM. Because taping the scene for posting is more important than their son's actual experience of the moment. Izzy had to pluck the decoration from the cake to turn it around so he could see it. Sheesh.

And while I'm bitching about the cake, how about you light the candles before you plunk it down in front of him instead of waving the barbecue lighter in his face? 

p.s. the cake would have turned out blue if you had separated the eggs you used, Jill. Yellow yolks + blue food coloring = green cake. Egg whites + blue food coloring = blue cake.  I like how you obviously kept adding more and more blue coloring hoping to get rid of the green, lol. It was the gloomiest birthday cake I've ever seen!

No way will they do this.  The fee is $25 per day plus a supply fee of $60 per semester.  They would much rather spend the money on themselves ─ like on Jill's airfare to go on trips with Derick's class (where she's not needed and not wanted) or on eatiing out because Jill can't be bothered with learning how to cook.

While I can see them not doing it because well money and they have no job, I could actually see Derilick and Jill starting a gofundme for Izzy to go to preschool.  And that's scary on so many levels in my brain.

I can easily see them starting  GoFundMe to send Izzy to pre-school, or to buy Jesus books for orphans, or to help disaster victims overseas. The end result, of course, is simply funding for Dillard Ministries to fly around the world on missioncations and for "date-nights" at various mid-priced restaurant chains. Unless they move away from NW Arkansas soon, Izzy will be attending the SODRT with his cousins in a few months.
