While I generally find the Duggars' views on gender roles reprehensible, learning to sew is a great skill to have, whether as a hobby or a career.  Sure, these girls probably weren't offered a chance

I dunno, it doesn't bother me like old dudes in banana hammocks.  But I am one of those weirdos who thinks pregnant women's bodies are amazing.  I also agree that Amy is looking darned good and I don'

Ah, yes, Duggar Family Official. So deeply concerned about the unborn.  But when it comes to the born-but-then-dropped-after-six-months-like-a-hot-potato-people, they don't concern you a bit

How does Amy know the posts are from "grown women". She's naïve if she thinks all IG accounts are what they say they are. And I hardly think comments like, I like his hair shorter, or he should lose the mullet, are "ATTACKING" a 4 year old.

So, so far Dax wants to be a YouTube star, wanted a mullet (when no one else has them), wants to enter a mullet contest, wants to perm his mullet and has all kinds of style.

This kid seems to know more about the world than the average 4 year old. And as far as style, half his clothes are freebie shills and the other half are thrifted. I can see Dax now, going through racks and racks of clothes telling Amy what he wants.

Why is it stage moms blame the followers/fans and not themselves?

Man, I am so torn on this one. One the one hand, Amy does have a point that Dax's haircut is really nobody's business, especially since there is just so much that you can criticize about Amy the parenting expert (ugh) and the way she's spoiling her son rotten. 

But here's the huge other hand: Amy has been chasing celebrity (both reality tv and social media celebrity) for over a decade. She is cousins with teens and young adults who were born on camera. Heck, she was the one defending her choice to have Dax's sm open to his 9,000 nearest and dearest and now she's all shocked pikachu that there are people who don't like her kid's hair and say it. I'll echo what others have said, if you don't like it, get the poor little knife-thrower off the internet. Oh, but no, can't do that, what else would Amy have to get performatively irate over now FF is in jail?

Didn't he also want to review toys?

Makes her want to stop posting?  Suuure.  She'll stop posting when pigs fly.  And I'm a grown woman and if I comment on that poor kid's hair, I'm not attacking him, I'm attacking Amy for using her kid for the fame she so desperately craves.  So if she so strong and she can take it, why is she constantly whining?

Attention. She feeds off any kind she can get.

Amy does know we've all seen the kid's birthday parties, right?

Between Amy's thrifting hauls, happy mail and outings, is there many days in a month when Daxxy ISN'T getting anything?

I got nothing to contribute except I would love for Dax to GET a decent haircut.

Dax is a very spoiled boy thanks to his relatives. He is going to give them a run for their $ as a teen. He is being failed by his relatives. Anyways I wish Amy /king pickle luck when they have to deal with consequences of their poor parenting choices.

Why does this make me think of the imagery on the Dukes of Hazzard car?

The only 'knife safety' lesson a 3 year old needs is to be taught not to ever touch one.  And parents should be keeping them out of reach in the first place.

Amy is completely clueless as to how terrible her parenting is.

I hope the kid doesn’t get hurt because his parents are idiots.

I'm more concerned about the other kids in the neighborhood.  What if he doesn't win the mullet contest that is so important to him?  Will he go all Anthony Perkins on the winner?

Poor Dax, he sounds like a complete terror. Imagine how unsafe it must feel to him to hold all that power. Amy doesn't get it - enforced rules and schedules allow a kid to move through their day with a cozy protection. Sure, a parent can be flexible here and there, but to let a 4yo rule the roost is so wrong.

Someone needs to DM Amy some parenting tips.

So, Amy, did you say "No capri sun or tv until after school/you get dressed?" I'm betting no. It's not harmful or the equivalent of the awful instant obedience game to start teaching about consequences. 

As much as I think home-schooling for religious/political reasons is abhorrent (I feel differently about other motivations), some primary teacher somewhere in Arkansas has seriously lucked out.

Amy seems to have forgotten that she is supposed to be the parent.  Kid only wants Capri Sun, he can have it after he puts on clothes and does school work.  Yes, he'll cry and whine, but no kid ever died from that.  I agree, this kid is screaming out for structure and Amy is not paying attention.  I pity any teacher who has to deal with him if she gets bored with homeschooling.

While not QUITE as sad as JillR's/Kaylee's post, Amy has made several errors in that post.

But the biggest problem is the way she's raising that out-of-control child.  By now, he's old enough to know what buttons to push, to get her to give into whatever he's demanding, and to disregard what little she expects from him.

That's what she should be doing!  Your last paragraph is spot on, especially.

She allegedly attended actual schools, but clearly they were subpar. 

The schools were probably fine. It's the student's responsibility to try and master the material. Famy was probably too busy with makeup and boys to bother with school.

....peed in the floor on accident? What a mess of a post. 

Yeah, and he "hid candy in the shower." Why does this tiny kid have access to candy to hide in the shower? Why was he running around unsupervised so that he could "accidentally" pee on the floor and Amy would slip on it later?

She seems to thing (like Jessa) that all these examples of her terrible parenting are just normal -- kids, right? -- moments, when they're so awful. At least she only has one . . .

I’m thinking he’s going to be an only child. Amy can barely handle him.

I hope they don't have another kid.  I don't think Daxxy would accept the fact he would have to share Amy's attention with a baby.

At this point it's my opinion that Dax would certainly not like another child in the mix and frankly, I would be worried about that baby's safety around him. This is quite a strong statement to make but from what Amy has posted about her child, it's on my radar.

Not only is Dax a terror, he seems to be about 2 years behind developmentally. The antics Amy described are how a 2 year old might behave when exploring independence. Of course usually not all in one day and knives are never involved.

No one is a perfect child, just as no one is a perfect parent. Most of us come out relatively fine in spite of some shitty parenting moments, but the dynamic between Dax and Amy is, IMO, is a recipe for disaster.
