I don't know why, but it grinds my gears when married women with children talk about going on a "date night." Hey Jill, guess what? You're married. You're not dating. You've never dated. You don't even know what dating is. And eating takeout food at home isn't a "date."

/rant

Plus how is it a date night when the kids are sick? The date night thing makes me stabby too. And isn’t Jill the expert sushi chef now? Or was that fake news?

[cdp73]

I don't eat rice so I could be wrong but that seems like an awful lot of rice in just one meal.

That's my question too. I've never heard of anyone having a date night when their kids are sick.

How much do you think that takeout cost? I bet Jill is expected to keep to a budget, but he can spend money as he sees fit.

I'm eyeballing the rice portion to be one half cup.  It's hard to judge by looking at the picture.  I've kept 65 lbs off for 13 years by doing weight watchers.  I love all types of rice: brown, Jasmine, bastami, and black.  I use a one cup measure for my rice.

I hate those posts with incomplete sentences.  She says "when the kids are sick and (jackass) picks up take out."  Ok so then what??  Do the skies part and angels sing? Do you wonder how you'll pay the bills from the take out??  Do blue fairies fly out of your behind??  WHAT HAPPENS???

The other rants got me started!!

Usually the rice in the sushi is filling enough for me. I don't eat a separate serving.

I love rice, mainly white. I know I should eat more brown but I'm part Spanish, we love our white rice.

I get a small container of white rice with mine cause A I’m a pig.  B my dog loves rice   But for a normal person that seems a lot      And I guess that meal is easily 40 dollars

Lemme hear an  "Amen" to your post.

You are so right esp when these two have never officially dated.

I was wondering the same thing.  I don't do Sushi so I wouldn't have a clue but sure it's not cheap. Will someone venture a guess?  Hoping the sick boys got some chicken soup out of Date Night.

This sushi does not look too expensive.  They are not getting the prime cuts of fresh fish, but rolls filled with rice and some sort of sauce to disguise the inferior fish.  A lot of the Japanese restaurants around me will have buy 1 get 1 roll which is a lot of sushi for $10-15.  It looks like they got some kind of meal deal, so it might be around $30 for everything.  In my area we have a plethora of fast-food Japanese which is mostly Hibachi with some sushi.

We have a hibachi place nearby that has really good sushi. Half the place is hibachi, the other have a very nice sit down sushi restaurant. Its my go to place as its on the way home. WE also have an Asian mall about 45 minutes from my house. They have a wonderful food court with Korean, Japanese etc.... foods and  take out sushi/sashimi that is so good. Whenever we go, I have to have something.

Jill. I get that you are trying to be supportive of Derick, but YOU. HAVE. NEVER. MET. RICK. How can you miss him?

Honestly that post would make more sense coming from Derick.

Long time lurker, first time poster but this photo made me so mad. The amount of plastic and styrofoam used for one meal for only two people is crazy!! I doubt these two recycle and they probably just put all of this crap in their trash. I also wonder that food places in the US still package their meals like this.

Welcome out of Lurkdom! Surprisingly fast food joints use mostly paper and restaurants use Styrofoam. Sadly in my area Styrofoam can't be recycled. Are you not in the US?

I may be hallucinating (I did do a lot of drugs in the '80s), but didn't Derick once post an obnoxious message about how much he loves and misses his "sister-in-law" Jubilee? As I recall, it was accompanied by a picture of an extremely tiny baby's foot that he claimed was Jubilee's, but that somebody here discovered was a stock photo. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

[Sew Sumi]

Yes, it definitely rings a bell. Had she been a viable fetus, I wouldn't have a problem. However, Michelle miscarried long before viability. I thought it tacky to hold a memorial service, attended by hundreds of leghumpers. 

Be more like the Bateses and plant a memorial tree. Calling Jubilee a SIL is ridiculous.

This was Derick’s tweet:

Jubilee wasn't a stillbirth. She was a late-term miscarriage (18 weeks, IIRC).

Does he miss his brother-in-law Caleb, too, or does that not fit his agenda?

That depends on where in the US you are. Many areas in my part of California have made it illegal to use Styrofoam for take-out food, precisely because it is horrible for the planet. But no Duggar has ever cared about the planet.

Yes, but don't forget the ammo box coffin.  That's what made it classy.

Also, why did Jubilee take Jill's foot and what did she do with it?  Maybe she was getting back at them for all those servants' hearts they have.  They really should leave the servants alone and let them keep their hearts.  I mean, it's tough enough being a servant.

The post will consider courting with a purpose, but don't expect anything but side hugs until the nuptials and then all the babies god will allow.  If it really likes you, tho, it might consider a little hand sex.  It's a godly post, not a whore!

[Oldernowiser]

That’s not a foot. It’s a hand. So, per usual, I have zero idea WTF Derrick is bleating on about.

Yep. DC is my home. Kind of ironic to see all the obnoxious out of town teens in their fetus heartbeat hoodies casually pass by and ignore dozens of panhandlers to make  their way to Chik-Fil-a. Yeah I know, politics and small talk yadda, yadda, yadda. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Thank you! No, I live in Europe but watched the Duggars when I lived in North America a couple years ago. In Europe single-use plastics will be banned by 2021 and everyone around me is trying to reduce the use of plastic as much as possible. I haven't seen a meal like this in a very long time.

[galaxychaser]

Dereck looks just like his dad.

[BigBingerBro]

The use of "hubby" makes my skin crawl too.  I have an ex-coworker on FB who likes to think of herself as a regional Martha Stewart (but no where near it) and constantly refers to her husband as "hubby" - they also go on "date nights" basically whenever they eat out (they are retired with adult kids)  She once threw a "I'm-going-to-divorce-you" style fit when her husband introduced her as "the wife" while attending a company dinner.  He was more than likely getting back at her for constantly calling him "hubby".  He has a friggen name!  Use it!

Anyway, it doesn't bother me as much when Jill uses it for some strange reason.  I also hate sushi.

[Caracoa1]

Jill must be teeming with jealousy over Jessa's pregnancy announcement.  If it's possible for her to conceive I guarantee she will be pregnant by the end of the year.

[galaxychaser]

The sushi probably cost $20 per person.

I love sushi and splurge once a month. A nice big roll with raw fish is $14 at a supermarket.

Ugh I hate people who are like that on Facebook!!!! Reminds me of the obnoxious, popular girl from high school who married a doctor who could easily be an Abercrombie model, and picks on every little thing he does on Facebook. Oh yeah, and calls him cuddle bear. She's always pitching a royal fit and then updates us on whatever he's doing to "make it up to her." It's just nauseating! I don't get why some guys put up with that, while others are terrified to commit to anything. Plus this dude is sooooo hot that while she's garden variety pretty, she married waaaaay up. Don't get it! /rant

Give it time...hot male doctors have all kinds of options for, how to put this, alternative companionship. Sounds like Mrs. Cuddle Bear is headed for the First Wives Club.

Bringing this back to topic...I just wish Jill was headed there as well. Derrick isn’t half as great as he thinks he is or a tenth as great as she says he is. She could do better.

Pretty much every guy I've known who was drawn to bitchy/snobby/drama-queen women always had major issues themselves, no matter how good they looked on paper. What's that saying? Water rises to its' own level?

[Barb23]

There was a segment on America's Fuuniest Videos that showed a little boy at the zoo.  I wasn't paying that much attention to the video funny but I had to do a double take when the mom asked the boy  "Are you having fun?"  She had a sing-song voice just like Jill's.

And here we were, all the girls in class reading Clan of the Cave Bear in 5th grade and no one batted an eye. I may have gotten some slightly skewed ideas about human sexuality from that one lol. I dearly wish I could be a fly on the wall should Jill or any of the Duggar daughters ever get hold of that series and read it since even perfectly innocent romance novels are considered "porn for women" by their ilk. Didn't Jill go to a teenager's birthday party at one time to lecture the girls on the importance of avoiding even fictional romance lest they'd accidentally give away pieces of their heart to the hero or something?

[Sew Sumi]

And IIRC, she mentioned Sarah Mally's wretched Prince Charming book. She'd already IDed that tome as a favorite in the episode when Michelle schlepped some of her older  kids (and Jordyn under a nursing poncho) to a grade school.
