sixlets December 3, 2018 Share December 3, 2018 @kcrabtree, would you be willing to post your breakfast casserole in the small talk thread? I've gotten into the habit of making us breakfast on Sundays, but I want something other than eggs/omelets/bagels. Thank you! On topic-these two are really made for one another. No one else could put up with them. I have never seen a person who has to be glued to their significant other like Jill. I can't help but wonder if the molestation didn't occur, would we be seeing this level of cling? Does being attached to Derick make her feel safe? She could benefit from some therapy. And a divorce. 12 Link to comment

cdp73 December 3, 2018 Share December 3, 2018 12 hours ago, EVS said: I think Jill is really proud that Derick is in law school. If he makes it through (and that’s a big ‘if’), she will be the only Duggar daughter whose headship is a lawyer. I think that will be a big deal to her. I also think it will make Derick even more insufferable, but that’s another story. I think Jill actually believes she is helping Derick. Instead, she is probably just in his way, but I can also see the situation feeding Derick’s oversized ego because she is paying attention to him instead of the kids, and also because he can flaunt his superior knowledge of the law to her. I wonder if, unconsciously of course, Jill is desperate for Derick to get through law school as a FU to Josh who wanted to be a lawyer. She may be trying to help Derick "study" in the best way she knows how. Unfortunately, her studying skills from the SOTDRT aren't very helpful. 7 Link to comment

As a tangent I used to dance for a company and the main artistic director demands that all the women have their hair down to at least their mid-back and that it all be one length. The longer, the better. The straighter, the better too. You were expected to buy a wig or wear extensions if you couldn't grow your hair that long. You'd be honestly surprised at the amount of women that don't know how to take care of long hair. So many ratty ends. It looks great from a distance with loads of product but up close, yeesh. 5 Link to comment

That is a distinct possibility. In any case, it can't have escaped Josh's notice that Derick is living Josh's dream and it must be pissing him off. Although, we can't really be sure how serious Josh ever was about being a lawyer. It may just have been something he came up with when TLC and the fans asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. It's a nice, respectable ambition that would certainly make himself and his parents sound better than "Daddy's gonna give me a car lot to run". 4 Link to comment

McManda December 4, 2018 Share December 4, 2018 My hair isn't Jill long, but it's well on its way. And honestly ... I have a moment every day where I just want to chop it (outside of it desperately needing a general maintenance cut). It would just be so much easier. Unfortunately, my hair is on the thin side so it looks and feels better when it's shorter but my face is round so my face looks better when it's longer. I have a sweet spot of about a month where it's short enough to be healthy but long enough to be flattering. And because I'm awful at making appointments (but good at keeping them!) and scarred from a haircut where the stylist went faaar too short... my hair is currently probably in the same realm as Jill's. The difference is, at least I know that I should do something about it. 10 Link to comment
BitterApple December 4, 2018 Share December 4, 2018 Jill's too dumb to realize you can still have long hair without it hanging down to your ass. Even if she cut it to the bottom of her bra strap, that's still a ton of length. The problem she has now is there's no volume or movement because a) the length pulls it flat and b) there's no layers or highlights to create dimension. She looks dated and much older than 26. 17 Link to comment

They don't wash it, or condition it, or trim it, or anything else.

I hope some day one of the Duggar/Bates girls move from away from her upbringing in a non-cosmetic ways. Josie Duggar, not Josie Bates. Josie's hair isn't very long compared to her sisters' (and cousins) at the same age. It's also very fine. Granted they have no idea how to take care of her hair but that's a different story. It isn't uncommon with micropreemies to have issues with hair growth either. The five oldest Duggars daughters have been able to grow their hair to insane length, especially Jill and Jessa. Terminal length means that the absolute longest your hair can grow. I think Josie (even if they put a straightening iron through it) will be lucky to hit mid back in her teens. I often wonder if they will make a big deal about it if it doesn't grow. They did put fake pigtails on her... Jinger is the only one out of the eldest five that looks like she gets something done with it, even if it's just putting layers in. If any of the eldest five decided to lop off to bra strap length I'd be shocked. The only way that's happening with Joy is if Austin tells her to do it.

Hair as long as hers takes more maintenance than shorter hair does. It's the whole reason Alyssa Bates chopped off her hair after she had kids. SOTDRT logic for you. 18 Link to comment
