Apparently Dax is a product model. But they photoshopped out his mullet. 😁

Amy protecting her son……Ads for Walmart, and 9,234 followers from her “small circle” on his Instagram. It’s funny that the account only follows 17 people. She posts so much about him on her Instagram.

I know!! I searched my Kindle book. The word "cousin" doesn't appear, nor does "Amy."

I'm thinking that Jill has learned the hard way that Amy is not someone to trust. I would have enjoyed being a fly on the wall when Amy realized there was no praise for her, let alone mention, in the book. LOLOL

I don't know if this goes to this topic, but Pickles has some documents which say that Tyler is no longer living with the Duggars.

[auntieminem]

In Touch is reporting it as well but their source is WOACB.  Curious after all these years his grandparents want custody.

I can see it. Tyler is almost an adult and while he still needs parental figures, he doesn't need physical caretaking in the same way he did when he was a kid. I'm interested to see who originated the change and I feel badly if the kid is having another upheaval if it isn't what he wants, but can you imagine life in the TTH right now? The Lost Girls in the "sit around and wait to get married" season of life, Anna and the Ms maybe realizing that J'Inmate isn't coming home, JB (and Michelle?) who between SHP and Jill's tell-all are now fighting with Josh to be the villains of the Duggar story, the remaining Howlers mostly out of the house and Jana...Jana-ing, I guess. It's not where I'd want to be if I had any other options.

And the poor kid receiving no real education, only cult indoctrination. I’m so happy for him.

So am I. Hopefully his seven years of "homeschooling" doesn't hinder him now that he's at a real school.

I hope they get him some private tutoring to help him catch up to his peers.  I would hate to see him give up on school because he's so far behind he just gets frustrated.

Tyler can spell perpendicular just fine thats all he needs, thank you very much!

I remember how my geometry class got a kick out of how our teacher pronounced it perpen-dic-a-ler.

I wonder how Meech pronounces "nuclear?"

I just remembered he used to say "figger" for figure.  This was in New Jersey, and we wondered if he might've come from the South.

Amy certainly needs attention from strangers.

[satrunrose]

I'm so glad that someone who needs to post on social media about surviving a day of mothering has decided that early childhood education/homeschooling is the path for her. 🙄

[oliviabenson]

So Daxxy is totally going to be an only child 🤣

[ginger90]

Amy says she’s getting all kinds of messages about writing a book. Gee I wonder why? Perhaps because she said it? “My story would be completely different from Jinger and Jill’s “. Anyway, she goes on to say it’s about Jill and Derick right now, and then pans to her mother, who is not very convincing.

[ALittleShelfish]

No one is asking for this, Amy.  Unless the messages are more "You're not writing a book, right?" and "Hopefully you don't feel the need to write a book"... then sure, maybe some snarkers "asked" lol

[Future Cat Lady]

“My story would be completely different from Jinger and Jill’s “

No shit, you're not the one who grew up in a cult and you also have no story to tell.

[oliviabenson]

I rather she write a parenting book… Basically it will be a guide to the reader on what NOT to do while raising their blessings.

That is too funny! 

[oliviabenson]

Once again she is trying to keep her 15 minutes of fame going using someone else. 
 

Jill needs to ditch Amy and her aunt.

Are the messages voices in her head?

I guess if everyone has a story to tell, then we should all write books. Guess what Amy? Your story (and probably mine) are not going to be NYT best sellers! 

[GeeGolly]

If Amy is going to write a book she should go through her history of SM posts, interviews and Duggar show appearances so she doesn't end up with a third or fourth version of stories she's already told.

Yet another Amy crusade.  My understanding is that Jill and Derick spent a lot of hours working with the ghost writer to get this story to its endpoint.  I doubt Amy could stick with it for more than a week before she got bored and quit.  Also, just because publishers are contacting her (publishers could be two, not necessarily a bunch) doesn't mean she will get a deal.  They want something that will sell which Jill had in spades.  Amy, not so much.

I interpret this as "Amy contacts 100 publishers and 2 responded" (likely with "please go away").

Or, she's investigating self-publishing and deciding which kind will gain her the most attention while losing the least amount of money.

I see they edited out the mullet.

So, Amy, are you putting the money Daxxy earns into a savings account, maybe a future college account? 
Yeah, he would have to have a non-Amy teacher/educator in order to be able to think about going to college in the future.  

[CalicoKitty]

 I hope none of his modeling jobs have anything to do with knives or scissors.  And I hope the director is very patient.

I see some similarity, particularly with the hair color.  Here's a picture of Ron Howard before Opie when he was in The Music Man, probably at age 7.

 

[ginger90]

While having her wine, or whine, she shared how her son has changed since he turned 4. She began by saying she will always be proud of her “little model and the things he does”. She says he had been really easy, and respectful. Now he won’t hold her hand in a parking lot, says no, and wants to use “big big knives”……”today he kind of slapped at me”. She went on to say they do gentle parenting and he lost some privileges, they took away some of his toys, “for tonight “.

Does Famy not remember all her previous posts? If they just took away some toys he probably wouldn’t even notice. Seems like he’s been obsessed with knives for awhile but hey, a hard day for mama. How relatable she is to all the other mamas./s

[Absolom]

Lesson to Amy:  Just because a four year old asks or demands something is not a valid reason to give it to them.  Grandson wanted hang gliding lessons when he was four.  They aren't mature enough to know and understand these things.  That's why the adults have to make and enforce the decisions.  ::smh::  I think Amy's interpretation of gentle parenting is close to not parenting.  

[zoomama]

not to defend her lack of firm parenting but she is probably a bit traumatized by what she saw her cousins go through over the years.....even the simple (not nice or kind, just as an example) blanket training. God knows what else went on there over the years that we will never hear about. she is going to extremes the other way and wont realize her mistake for many years probably. we who are older and wiser (and in my case, have learned from our mistakes) can see the writing on the walls.

Amy wasn't nearly with her cousins, as much as she likes others to think. Amy went to public school, lived with her mom and had her own friends. I'm sure she was exposed to typical parenting more often than anything she happened to see when she was at the Duggar home.

[Zella]

Amy is fundamentally full of shit. (She's a lot like dear Uncle Jim Bob in that way.) I don't think she spent anywhere near as much time with them as she lets on. One of my favorite things about Amy is how much her story changes when it suits her. At times, she claims to have been there constantly and have witnessed everything and claims only an NDA hampers her ability to reveal all the tea she's sitting on. And then other times, she's basically like "Who dis? I barely know these people." I am sure the truth is somewhere in the middle, but I suspect the fact she was Deanna's illegitimate daughter who went to public school meant they largely saw her at family events rather than her being a frequent visitor to the Duggar home. 

[ginger90]

Amy had made her son’s Instagram private, with “only close” friends and family following (close to 10,000) according to Amy.

She made it public again (9,147 current followers) and posted this in her stories:

He also got another modeling gig. 

[GeeGolly]

Amy is JB in a dress.

[Salacious Kitty]

Total stage mom. 

[ginger90]

This is the self proclaimed “child advocate”.

[ginger90]

No doubt in response to comments, Amy explained they will monitor the account and block anything “negative or inappropriate. She ended with, “It’s just a way for him to kind of enjoy social media in a safe and healthy way.”.

[Salacious Kitty]

He's 4. He can't even read yet. He shouldn't be anywhere near Instagram. 

MOTY there, Famy. 🙄
