Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[Ohiopirate02]

I know Jill has lead a sheltered life, but who needs a consensus on a diaper irritating their child's skin?  If you are cleaning the kid's skin properly and using the diaper rash cream of your choice and the child is still getting a rash, then change the brand of diapers.  It's not that hard.  She has 18 siblings and at least of them has to have some kind of skin sensitivity.  I grew up in a home where dryer sheets were never used and we only bought certain brands of laundry detergent because of my dad's skin.  I've only strayed once with a free bottle of Gain and will never do so again.  

I am beginning to agree with those posters who suspect that JB has paid money for a social media whisperer to help the family monetize their profiles.  Obviously they got the cheapest one and only had them work for a few hours before one of the 19 is now the Social Media Marketing Expert (tm).  There is a way to be relatable that is not humiliating your children or "friends."

Um, why not ask Mother Of The Year?

It could also be the wipes she uses.  Granddaughter was allergic to some chemical used in every brand of wipe until my daughter bought Water Wipes.  Changing diaper brands and being compulsive about keeping him clean and dry is an excellent beginning.

Someone angling for a Vegetables and Carrots influencer job to score free diapers.

I go along with a hamster because it reminds me of the scene on Designing Women when Bernice said she was tired of people asking the parents what the want. The parents would usually say we do not care as long as the baby is healthy. Bernice said you would care if the baby is a hamster.

Okay...I think she might have said gerbil. My answer is the baby will be a hamster or a gerbil.

I used to watch Designing Women with my mom when I was elementary school aged. That show was so far ahead of it’s time & still so relevant today.  Too bad Jill and the other Duggar daughters never got to watch it growing up. 

And how does Jill not know about diaper rash questions- she raised several of her siblings! And I thought she was doing cloth diapers. (I did them with my eldest until he was about a year old, but my husband and I also worked full-time and our daycare wouldn’t allow cloth diapers, so we switched to disposables with baby number two, who is 17 months younger than baby 1.)  Jill has no job outside of the home and I think her apartment has a washer/dryer in the unit. What happened to cloth diapers? (They make cloth pull-up-type diapers for babies Sam’s size.) I don’t personally care if one uses cloth or disposable (and disposables made my life a whole lot easier, no lie), but aren’t the Duggars supposed to be all about frugality and wasn’t crunchy-for-Jesus midwife-ish mama Jill all into cloth diapers at one time? (Not to mention that if one is going to have multiple babies, cloth diapers really cut down on cost (although I tend to think/hope Izzy and Sam are it for Jill).

How many babies has she already raised/lived with? She can’t just ask her family about this? Looking for attention?

When my youngest was still in diapers he got awful rashes suddenly from Huggies. I switch brands to an organic kind and the rash went away almost immediately. 

What I did not do is post on social media asking for options. It doesn’t matter if 69%, 99.99999% don’t have issues, HER kid does. Is she not going to change brands because her poll says most people don’t have issues?

Figure it out Jill.

Jill: Mama it’s me Jill remember?

So, Jill let Derick leave the home unescorted, and was then punished with a plague of insects?

I loved Designing Women! I remember after I had my son via c-section, I was at home watching DW. It was the episode where Charlene psychic tells her that  she is going to marry a certain man who ends up being really gross. I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to pop a staple!

My house has so far been spared from hand foot mouth virus (coxsackie), but I have heard a weird blister diaper rash is an early sign.

[Jynnan tonnix]

If nothing else, I wish Jill was aware that killing bees is not a good thing. They will never sting unless they are threatened or provoked (they themselves will die if they do), and this planet needs every bee it can get right now. 😢

Jill the terminator. Taking out terrorist bees and wasps with one single blow from her fly swatter.

[CalicoKitty]

Here's a tip, Jill.  If you spray hairspray at the flying object, its wings won't work and it just drops to the ground.  Then you pick it up.  Also works for spiders.  They can't walk anymore and just fall down so you can pick them up.  No smushed bugs on the walls.

ahh, yes hairspray, the choice of many of my friends in my teen years to kill bugs! 

[CalicoKitty]

I should point out that I am not afraid of spiders or bugs.  I usually try to get them outside. But there are times when they need to be dispatched quickly, so they get the "treatment".

At the risk of sounding like something out of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", I use Windex. Only on flies, though. But when I get a bunch of flies in the house which like to congregate on windows, a few well-aimed blasts of Windex will kill them pretty rapidly even if they manage to fly off at first. And I get clean windows into the bargain. Works well if they land on the counters, too.

And many years ago my second son, who will turn 50 this year, had a terrible diaper rash.  I was a stay at home mom who used cloth diapers and was diligent about changing him.  I changed detergents no help.  I asked the pediatrician who had no kids and was no help and finally got an anti fungal cream to use which did help.  Now how in the world did he get a fungus on his areas?  He didn't go to daycare and I washed the diapers in hot water.  Anyway, it finally went away. Some things happen.

Lots and lots of people are making comments like yours on her IG post.

When Jill is trying to look badass and not cutesy or squinting you can see that she actually has very pretty eyes. She can be quite attractive when she's not making her usual stupid faces IMO.

[BradandJanet]

How did poor Jilly manage in Danger America, where the insects are large and numerous? Derick must have been away from the house doing interpretative dances at least some of the time.

Windex also kills ants in seconds.   Learned from my uncle who owns a pest control company.

What a wuss. And yes, a drama queen.

[EVS]

I actually have a bee/wasp phobia so I kind of empathize with Jill. What annoys me about her posts (and Jessa’s) are the “who else?” questions at the end   To me those questions just seem like they are just trying to get people to comment to raise their social media profiles and potentially make more money off of them. 

Disclaimer:  I am barely on fb, so I have no idea if social media really works that way, but it seems like they want comments for some reason. I posted my opinion on fundies and social media in the “sweet fellowship” thread.

I hate those desperate “who else” comments too. Are they so desperate for validation? Trying to convince the public they are just like them? Because for years they claimed to be so very different and superior.

[bigskygirl]

I seriously doubt getting stung by a bee would cause a person to use crutches unless the person had a serious allergic reaction. She is so full of herself trying to attention and sympathy.

 It’s one thing to say you have  a bee phobia, it’s another to go on an overly dramatic rant how she has the right to kill them because she got stung once and it hurt y’all!! And trespassing! How dare they fly in her air!  

She needs to either stop posting about every minor detail of her life, or ignore the criticism. This rebuttal is not going to help her case. Perhaps she needs to go to a few more classes with #bestlawstudentandhubbyever.

Exactly. Suddenly they want to be relatable, but because they are so sheltered, they just aren’t to most people, like this post of Jill’s or Jessa with the dirty diaper pile on the dresser. Jill seems to miss with the majority of her posts, including her awful recipes, yet she keeps trying.  She’s kind of like the definition of insanity, lol. Jessa just gets defensive and now posts preemptive snarky comments on her posts.

I was dying on a toe by a bumblebee when I was about 16. I was on vacation without my parents visiting family friends. My foot swole up like a balloon so that the only shoes I could wear were flip-flops. We had to scale back  the sightseeing because there were no crutches in the house or visits to a doctor for a shot. So yeah, I'm skittish around certain flying insects, but they don't get in my place, so it's not a high level of concern. I bet Jilly Muffin had Derelict looking for the wasp nest the second he got home from school.

[sixlets]

Every year, like clockwork, we start seeing the first wasps of the year.  I had one in the master bedroom wake me up (it was stuck in the window), so I made all three cats get out and closed the door.  Mr. Six took a peek when he went up earlier, but our little friend wasn't around.  I was stung by a wasp last summer, and that is so horrific pain.  I called the on-call nurse associated with our insurance, and she assured me that I would probably be ok, but I had to look for the signs of anaphylaxis for 4 hours.  I've been stung by bumblebees, but Mr. Six has never been stung by anything.  With three cats in the house, I take no chances with any type of bee/wasp/hornet.  They break and enter, I kill.  Everything else gets take outside to continue living.  

With Jill having two small kids, I can't say I would have done anything differently. I know they are a vital part of our ecology system, but I wouldn't take that risk with kids who may or may not be allergic.

I am severally allergic to bees and had a very bad reaction when I was 4. My foot swole to the size it is now and I couldn’t walk. It was awful. A bee sting could be fatal to me- of all things I don’t blame Jill for how she reacted here. Bees or wasps are not to be fucked with they are dangerous.

I wouldn’t have a bee/wasp nest on my property. I would call the exterminator ASAP to get rid of it. I think that’s reasonable.

Yeah, I mean, there's plenty of legitimate things to criticize Jill over, but IMO, swatting a few insects isn't one of them.
