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.

[Salacious Kitty]

I see they edited out the mullet. 

[Future Cat Lady]

"I'm not like my uncle who exploited his kids for fame and money" 

[Lisa418722]

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.

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.

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. 🙄

[GeeGolly]

Matthew McConaughey's son just got permission to have IG. He's 16.

Amy is a liar who lies. She's aiming to make Dax into a money making IG kid. Like @Salacious Kitty said, he's 4. Four year olds don't know what SM is unless someone tells them. And even then there is no way they can come close to comprehending what it really is.

How long until Amy has Daxxy throwing knives at a board covered in balloons?

He doesn’t even need to know about social media yet, ffs. 

[BetyBee]

It will be interesting to watch as Amy becomes more like Uncle Jim Bob every day, at least when it comes to exploiting her child. Yet she finds (posts) fault with Jim Bob whenever she feels the need for a bit of attention for herself. WTG Famy!

[questionfear]

When my son was 6ish he wanted to do video game walkthroughs like he saw on youtube. So I set up a tablet and let him "film" himself playing video games. 

The only person who has those videos is me. Because he was 6. And he was playing pretend like we all did. 

Dax has no concept of what it means to be an influencer, and if he is asking for those kinds of things it's because he's imitating what he's seeing. He'd likely be just as happy with an "adventure" photoshoot sent to Deena alone or just made for time with his parents. 

[andromeda331]

Not surprising that Amy's a stage mom. She tried for years to make herself happen but it never did. Now she's trying to make Dax happen.

[graybrown bird]

The plot to "Gypsy" never gets old, unfortunately.

[oliviabenson]

I’m not a parent: but ai ai ai, girl you need help parenting. She is failing her son. Daxxy doesn’t need SM he needs an attentive Mahmo. Instead he has a manager Mahmo who is trying to make him famous. 

[GeeGolly]

Someone needs to ask Amy if she's opening a separate bank account for Dax to put part or all of any money earned in his own account.

One they can't withdraw from to say, pay back taxes or past due rent.

Nope would be my guess.

I really hope Jill Dillard is staying far away from Amy.  She has gotten toxic between running to the tabloids and now pimping out her kid.  I hope Jill realized that Amy is not above selling images of Jill's boys as well.  Maybe Amy should cut back on buying plastic junk and her husband should cut back on the edibles and they would be able to pay their bills without selling their kid's image.  And cut that stupid mullet while they're at it.
