Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[EmeraldGirl]

Ok so what is this new fuckery? They’re cooking in a trailer attached to a gym? Dreck is teaching fundy basketball for a summer job? And she dragged the kids over there to cook and eat dinner?

I’m laughing at Dreck saying that Jill was making delicious bok choy. Cut to a very soupy looking pan and hear her say that she was improvising.

I think your right. Derick thinks he's all kinds of smart and funny by answering questions in a misleading and indirect way. 

Unfortunately Jill misunderstood him too. And it was filmed. 

If Jill is his benchmark, he'd be justified in thinking he's a fucking genius.

In DA, she posted a picture of her holding a baby girl in an orphanage.  She said they may come home "with one".

That’s a horrific thought. An innocent orphan being adopted by those 2. 

[floridamom]

I found their choice of words about adopting a child in the photo in DA a poor choice of words. It sounded like they were going to 'pick up a souvenir' from Central America and bring back 'one of those' to the US with them.

True that the choice of words sucks. Also true that it represents Jill's level of maturity and social awareness. She was introduced to those missioncations in developing countries by her dad - who smugly bragged to everyone he encountered about how many children he had. Including, IIRC, at least one woman who had survived several of her own young children. 

To this day, I believe that when Jill married Derick, her "dream" of being a missionary was an adolescent fairytale image of Jill the White Missionary delivering babies for the incredibly grateful brown people in some developing country, and bringing souls to Jesus. After all, in her world view, the point of those mission trips is to spread the Word about the Correct Jesus and convince "those people" there to worship him, thus saving their souls from the fires of hell. 

So the remark about "bringing one back" is totally in line with the especially insensitive self-centered views of her parents + the theology that's been pounded in to her all her life. Which she spent, until her marriage, cloistered in the  filtered, recirculated, and hermetically sealed atmosphere of the Duggar family house. 

ETA: Minus the "famous white midwife missionary" fantasy, the above IMO is true of the attitudes of all the Duggarlings including Jessa. Some of them may be more savvy, or at least more guarded, about how they speak, though.

Not far from the truth. A 'convert the brown Catholics' trophy.

As long as they stay firmly ensconced in their brown home countries.

And again, Izzy alone on the other side of the table. I don’t know why this bothers me so much - there’s no need to put a 5-yr old “in their place” every. single. time.

Honestly, that looks rad as hell though. I definitely want a train to deliver my food to my table! (Yes, i’m 5. no, I don’t care.)

Jill looks cute in pink — minus that stupid ass shirt underneath! Please, that’s a very modest v-neck T-shirt. 

I think Sam looks like John David.

Why buy a shirt you think is immodest? Just wear 1 shirt period.

Yeah, it seems so hot in summer in AR to wear two shirts half the time. Just wear one shirt that’s modest enough for her standards.

How else is she going to demonstrate her moral superiority and fashion martyrdom  if she doesn’t wear two shirts in hot ass Arkansas? Do you want her to look like every other Christian or something?  Jeez, it’s like being logical is better than being special.  (said in the most sarcastic tone imaginable)

[Ohiopirate02]

While I think Jill's modesty shirt is too much for that conservative v-neck, I do sometimes wear 2 shirts in the summer in NC.  I sweat, sometimes a lot depending on the day.  I have some nice tops that require more than a spin in the washing machine.  I do wear camisoles underneath them to absorb the sweat so I don't have to wash the fancy shirts after every wash.  

[DkNNy79]

Her boobs look really big - is she still breastfeeding?  Or trick of the camera with her being so close?

I have to wear camis under a lot of normal shirts because...DD's. 😢😢😢

I have D cups, so a cami also helps with making a shirt or dress more work/church appropriate.

Restaurant menu prices are similar to what I’d pay in NYC.

No way! Menu prices are about 1/2 - 2/3 what I'd pay here.

[Absolom]

I thought they looked pricey for what the place is.  

[Zella]

The menu prices for main dishes look pretty comparable to non-fancy sit-down places I am familiar with here in Arkansas. I have not been to Little Rock much so am not sure if there's usually a noticeable price difference between there and NWA. The only thing really made me raise my eyebrows was the appetizer prices but I don't usually order an appetizer, so that might just me being me. 

I felt really bad for Izzy in that picture that was posted. He just seemed so genuinely excited to be there--and I'm sure the trains were super cool to him--and to have his picture taken. Based on the way his parents often seem to treat him, I doubt the poor kid is made to feel special very often. 😞

If so, I’ll say that Jill’s hair needs far more than a trim. It needs a cut to lop off several inches. It would look much healthier—and she would look better.

There's still A LOT of hair (third picture):

[PradaKitty]

Well... the layers should help...

[FizzyPuff]

Uh I just remembered they like their hair long because of Daddy 🤢

[Zella]

Poor Jill. I know what she means when she says it's her first time having her hair washed at a salon, but initially it reads like she's just never washed her hair. Ever. 

I am glad she's trying something new. Baby steps, maybe? 

Edited July 23, 2019 by Zella

[PradaKitty]

Well, to be fair, I don’t think she washes her hair all that often...

[galaxychaser]

It looks better than before. My head itches just looking at her LONG hair. I can never imagine having that much hair.

[BitterApple]

Danielle must have been itching to hack a foot off that scraggly mane. I'm impressed with her restraint.

Jill's hair is definitely better, but she needed to cut more off. I looked at Danielle's Instagram and noticed she does really cute bobs and lobs. Jill would've looked great with a shorter style.

Edited July 23, 2019 by BitterApple

[libgirl2]

She could have lopped off a heck of a lot more. At least it looks better. 

[Absolom]

She can only take Jill so far so fast.  Remember Michelle after her salon visit leaping back to her old way as fast as she could.  If they go slow steps with Jill maybe it will take.

[galaxychaser]

I would have accidentally 🤪 cut off a foot of hair. Doubt she’d even notice.

[madpsych78]

I was initially thinking, "Jeez, how long was Jill's hair BEFORE?"

Then I realized that she said "trimmed." 

Echoing the others who have said that Jill would not miss one foot of hair chopped off. It would still be perfectly long.

Gosh, I'm 18 years older than Jill, and I don't have the forehead lines yet...

Her hair is a pretty shade of brown, and it looks healthy in the pictures. Imagine how much fuller and bouncier it would be if she cut it even to mid-back.

Facial wrinkles are influenced by genetics. We can't blame Jilly for hers. 

The overlong hair is on her.
