I'm actually usually pretty cool with gross stuff, but it's impossible for me to read your OP without triggering my gag reflex!  But hey, kudos to you for the vividness of your description.

Step stools, have they ever heard of step stools?

[floridamom]

I'm sorry that J'Tyler has to take violin lessons too. I feel a bit sorry for this boy as he has to become 'one of them' while living there. I wonder what his thoughts and feelings are about their restrictive rules? No more school and friends, no sports, no TV, no movies, etc. I hope he's ok.

Hannie no longer gets to dress in (cuter) little girl clothes.  She has graduated to the older girl Duggars' wardrobe staples of baggy knits.

I'd be a little excited if I was Hannie - seriously - she must have a slew of clothes to pick from that will only fit her. Until she stops growing she'll have her own wardrobe. I wonder if Jana will still live at home by then.

[floridamom]

Another thought here....What if Tyler just doesn't like the violin and prefers a trumpet or the drums? It's sad that they ALL had to conform and take violin lessons. I don't believe for one minute that ALL 19 children loved the violin and loved performing like circus seals in their awful family concerts that were sprung on those poor elderly people in their audience at the nursing homes.

Seriously! Why must they always plant butts on their kitchen counters? My mom would have skinned us alive for that and I don't disagree that is appropriate. With a household of seventy-eleven kids, having step stools is an absolute no-brainer. Which, I suppose, explains why the dimwits don't do it--they do not use brains.

Yup, that's Hannie.

[cmr2014]

I wonder if J'Tyler is happy there? If he came from a chaotic home, he may find the chaos and disorder of the TTH familiar, and find the irregular meals, haphazard schooling, and irregular bedtimes normal. Still, I would think that if his home life was bad enough for him to be removed, he would probably benefit from some actual care and attention. 

[drafan]

Oh my....sitting on counter tops, hair everywhere, no gloves, eating other finger food while baking, probable licking.....ick, ick, ick. Wonder who will be "gifted" with the corn-syrup-coated Cheerios?

Jyler is a cutie. Looks like a young Jason Bateman.

[floridamom]

Let's see, that actual care and attention will come from Jana, no doubt.

Well, I don't watch the show, but given what I read about Joe's wedding, I wonder whether for some time now it hasn't pretty much applied from Joe on down, to at least some degree ....

Although some of the others have gotten that bonding from other older sibs who are now among the married, I guess. Like Joy with Jill and Jenny with first Jill and then Joy, for example.

I didn’t include Jer and Jed because they are actually adults.

[BitterApple]

Poor Hannie, she looks like Josh's twin. Hopefully it's just one of those tween girl awkward phases and she grows out of it.

J'Tyler probably loves life at the TTH: sleep til ten, no school, no adult supervision, no homework, a steady diet of junk food etc.

Hopefully the lad won't get plenty of acne with all that junk food  & the Duggars poor hygiene.

I agree. Tyler's a cutie. I hate to think of him paunchy, pasty and pimple-ridden at the tender age of 17.

But they forced him to play violin!  On Duggar Family Official, the poor lad was playing at a Christmas recital.

I took it as an autocorrect of "laddie", though I may be wrong...

LOL! Autocorrect didn't even occur to me. "Laddie" makes sense.

FU Internetz!!!!! We threw a party for Jordyn! 

And what's with Mechelle and the apron all of a sudden? She fools no one. 

[louannems]

Jordyn couldn't stand having Michelle touch her.  She actually recoiled.

[ginger90]

Why the heck was Jim Bob holding on to her like that? That was one sad little girl .

[madpsych78]

Those arms held up to her chest. She looked so tense. Up until the birthday song Jordyn only half-smiled a couple of times and both times were in response to something Jim Bob said.

[cmr2014]

Wow! And they posted that?

They really are just clueless. Unless they're trying to shop a new show about some really terrible parents whose own children hate them, I don't know what that was about.

[Panopticon]

“Happy birthday, Jordyn. Stand here while a woman who is apparently a stranger to you monologues for ten minutes about how important it is that your present was cheap.”

[SMama]

Boob held her in that manner because Jordyn is just one of his many possessions. They no longer have 19 JSlaves Show but FFS get the girl a brand new outfit! MEchelle squealing about He will provide (or whatever the hell she said) my ass. They are rubes, cheap jackasses. UGH I can’t type anymore because my cursing will get me banned. That was one awful hostage video.

Edited December 20, 2017 by SMama

[ozziemom]

Who were all those random people? Some strange looking “sweet friends “?? Plus Michelle hardly could remember what she cooked for Jordyn. Lots of um, um. What a fake. Poor Jordyn seemed completely over the whole thing.

[louannems]

Was it a whole year ago when Michelle also made a horrible video of Jordyn's birthday?  It was in n a very noisy restaurant and none of the Duggars were even paying attention to Michelle.  Even worse, I remember Jordyn just standing there totally detached from Michelle and she was miserable.

[queenanne]

Apparently they’re too cheap to offer meat of any kind to a group that size, because you notice they said Jordyn only requested vegetables, which I find unlikely unless she has actually turned vegetarian.

[StaceyNotStacie]

Jordyn looked so detached from the situation. Her expression made me wonder if she was on the spectrum.

Michelle needs to throw

Michelle needs to throw flour on her face to act like she's actually been doing something.

Wow...that was pretty heartbreaking. And who were some of the random people sprinkled throughout when the camera panned through the room? None of the looked interested enough to get up and join in the "festivities". I think I saw Joe with Kendra sitting on his lap,though it was has to make out. Possibly Jill/Dill- the camera moved too fast to tell,  though there was a young'un in the general vicinity which might have been Iz. And who was the guy with the goatee & hoodie who got whizzed by on the way back to the birthday girl?

In any case, poor Jordyn looks completely lost. She's such a beautiful little girl, too...honestly heartbreaking.

That little half-smile she gave toward the end unaccountably reminded me of Stephen Fry...which is probably just another example of my tendency to find really random similarities between completely unrelated people, but there was just a sweetness there which tweaked at my heart.

[Albanyguy]

She looks like she knows perfectly well that all those presents are going to be snatched away from her and put back into storage as soon as the camera is turned off (assuming that they're not just gift-wrapped empty boxes).

 Nah, I think Jordyn is just a wise little girl. When it comes to her family, she already knows what's up.
