McManda August 9, 2018 Share August 9, 2018 3 hours ago, Totally said: An actual bowl of lettuce ? My eyes are rubbish but is there anything else in there, not that I can talk, my husband thinks onion and lettuce makes a salad ? To be fair, I've been on a Caesar salad kick this last week and because I don't like anchovies that makes it just lettuce, parmesan, croutons, and dressing. I suppose the difference is that I'll eat it as a side with protein and maybe fruit, or put chicken on top to make a chicken salad, but still. At it's core it's basically cheese, lettuce, and dressing. ??♀️ At least Jill is eating something not greasy yellow? 5 Link to comment
BitterApple August 9, 2018 Share August 9, 2018 It's funny because I think Derick and Jill would absolutely love to go their separate ways, they're just convinced the world will end if they don't hang themselves on the cross for their relationship. I can see Jill moving back to the TTH, dumping the boys on Jana and resuming Sister-Mom duties while Derelict hightails it into the jungle and visits on holidays. They could both potentially be happy, but they'll spend the next forty years miserable for the sake of Jesus instead. 13 Link to comment

Marshmallow Mollie August 9, 2018 Share August 9, 2018 Which is why none of them will divorce. If Anna didn’t divorce Josh and worked through adultery, surely the rest of them can suck up incompatibility issues (Duggar cult logic, not Marshmallow logic). What an awkward way for Jill to hold that salad bowl. Does she have permission to post the Voeller recipe that is from their cookbook? 8 Link to comment
queenanne August 9, 2018 Share August 9, 2018 Unfortunately, the Jill recipe isn't actually healthy because she's visibly drowned it in dressing. Ironically this is the way that restaurants do it; some sous-chef is in fact dispatched to don rubber gloves and lovingly massage dressing into each coated leaf, but nutritionists always include the caveat "Now remember, if your salad is drowned in dressing it's not "actually healthy", as some dressings can include more calories, salt, and fat, to the point where you might as well be eating a cheeseburger." (Not judging! I myself vastly prefer my salads with dressing massaged into every leaf. I don't like "bitter" or "green-tasting" things. It's in fact one of the banes of my existence, that I can't be happy with the dainty "now girls, just dip the tines of your fork in the dressing you've had healthfully served on the side" carolings.) 6 Link to comment

Christina87 August 9, 2018 Share August 9, 2018 It's sad because when you barely allow your kids to know someone before marriage, statistically, some are not going to turn out happy! I have a friend who made the same kind of mistake...met a new guy before she was even officially divorced and moved in with him after like 2 dates, got engaged in like a month (first thing she said was, "if we don't work out, I can sell the ring!") and was still seeing another guy behind his back after the engagement! However, it does seem to be a happy accident, because now they have been married almost two years, and have a great marriage. Just by luck, SOME of the courtships are going to work out, but a lot won't! I would never encourage others to make the choices my friend did just because she got lucky. Another thing I have wondered about is the fact that the Duggars aren't marrying people exclusively who grew up Gothard. I wonder if hardcore IBLP bigwigs would have an easier time accepting that the Duggar girls are quite limited in what they could do. I think Derick thought Jill would be useful as a midwife, probably expected her to work, and imagined that her lack of education wouldn't stop him from pursuing his dream. However, he grew up with a working mother, and attended a real college, where he saw lots of people in regular relationships with career-oriented women. Someone who grew up Gothard, on the other hand, would never have experienced this, and wouldn't mind their wife being useless as long as she was producing babies. At the same time, Jill would probably THINK she'd be happier if all Derick wanted was to constantly impregnate her (which thankfully doesn't seem to be happening). As awful as Joy's marriage to Nostrils seems, I don't think they're disappointed with each other. Nostrils has someone who will give him babies and follow his lead with the houses, and Joy has a provider. They probably aren't happy, but also less disappointed in each other than Jill and Derick, since they are getting exactly what they signed up for! 14 Link to comment

The New Testament is filled with passages in both the Gospels and Paul's Letters talking about following Jesus is not easy and your reward for doing so would not be found on earth. Why should Jill expect to be blessed while on earth? I don't understand this disconnect between what is found in the Bible and the expectation of earthly blessings. 12 Link to comment

My SIL, left her husband for a man and came home around Thanksgiving. By Christmas, the man she wanted to be with was out of the picture and she had a new boyfriend. He was at the family Christmas party, calling my FIL by his first time like they were old friends. He was helping her with her daughter as if he had been around for years. My husband didn't even meet my son until I had been dating him for about a year. By July, they were married a year later divorced. There were police calls, suicide attempts..... and she found out he was gay. Isn't the saying marry in haste, repent at leisure? It a true saying when you don't believe in divorce. All these people marry in haste, some will work out others will not, but too bad, you're trapped. 11 Link to comment
MyPeopleAreNordic August 9, 2018 Share August 9, 2018 (edited) My husband and I started dating when I was 18 and he was 20, but didn’t get married until I was 25 and he was 27 (and we lived together for the last 3 of those years before we were married). We knew each other REALLY well by the time we married - we knew each other as “kids” and became adults together. We went through deaths of family members and a natural disaster (Hurricane Katrina) together, so we’d seen how the other reacts when the going got tough before we were married. I can’t imagine marrying someone you haven’t known for a long time and spent a LOT of time with ALONE, especially since the Duggar’s culture doesn’t allow divorce. It seems like a really cruel thing to do to kids/young adults to promote marrying someone you’ve “courted” for 3 months and have never spent a large amount of time alone with. It seems like likely setting a lot of them up for failure and heartbreak but without the option to extract themselves from a failing marriage/decades of hurt, and it seems like caring parents would want that for their kids (but I know Fundies gonna Fundie). I hope the kids end up lucky and they grow with their spouses and hope that the first guy/girl to a come courting was indeed their soulmate, but...we can just look at some of the marriages and see that what each person wants/expected in the marriage was different...Jill and Derrick seem to be a good example of this.

Christina87 August 9, 2018 Share August 9, 2018 I think she expected to be the super fertile secondcoming of Michelle, able to easily get pregnant and have tons of kids. Of course, she has never thought about the costs of raising such a family, or whether she'd be a good mom, or she'd enjoy it, or DERICK would enjoy it, etc. All she knows is that script, which she aced by getting pregnant immediately! However, it appears that Derick is enforcing some sort of birth control, whether abstinence or something else, especially with that comment that they would have a baby next year, and along came Sammy! I think at this point she maaaaaay have realized being a parent isn't all sunshine and roses, but I'm not sure. She may think if she had a baby a year, things would be perfect once she got old enough to have sister moms! 10 Link to comment
DragonFaerie August 9, 2018 Share August 9, 2018 There is a part of me that is actually worried about Jill's mental health if something did go horribly wrong with Sammy's birth and she can't have any more children. I mean this is her whole life plan. Mission for Jesus while being a helpmeet and pumping out a ton of kids. If she can't have kids, and seeing these 2 on social media, I don't think they need more kids. Jobs, yes. More kids now, no. Then I wonder how she's coping. Her hubby has gone into crazy land. They've lost her income with TLC. He "graduated" and got a "license" that gives him literally nothing. No one wants to support them to go harass people into become their version of Christians. I wonder when her laundry room breakdown is coming, and I'm guessing sooner rather than later.
