Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp

[emma675]

Joy kind of looks dead eyed. I hope she isn't dealing with PPD, I don't think this cult would offer her any proper treatment. 

[MaryAnneSpier]

No, they likely wouldn't. It's just an attack from Satan, and she needs to pray more and have more faith in God. "The World" says that depression, anxiety, and PPD are medical conditions; real Christians know that if they just place their trust in God, He will take Satan's hold off you and you'll live in the "Joy of the Lord" again. There's nothing better than not only being depressed, but feeling that it's because you don't follow Jesus as you should. I was raised believing this crap and it took many many years to overcome it.

I wonder if Giddy and Evy are at the big house with all the other kids, or are they with the Forsythe grandparents.

No, they're being looked after by Hannie at their lodgings in OK.

Joy looks tired and not really feeling this hunting trip.

That's Johannah. Jenny is blonder (and sadder).

Hunting trip was successful.

I don't understand why people are getting so butt-hurt in the comments. Austin said he harvested the meat. Do they think chicken nuggets grow out of the ground?

[Nysha]

My late husband was a hunter and we usually had deer meat in the freezer. The fall before he died 4 of our 5 kids filled their tags, I went hunting for the first (and last) time and filled mine and he had two tags that he filled. Those 7 dear filled two freezers and gave me meat for 4 years. That meat, our garden, and my bread machine made it possible for me to pay bills and not worry about whether to pay the power or buy groceries.

[rue721]

Yeah, I don’t have the heart to kill an animal, but I also don’t think it’s more moral to eat industrially farmed meat.

It does put me off that they seem to have so much *fun* killing animals... but they’re far from the only ones who enjoy hunting, so I guess I just don’t get it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't think the fun is killing the deer but in the camaraderie of being in a group in a camp situation. Some people think that's fun without the hunting aspect or with fishing instead of hunting. And...filling your tag is manly man stuff, even if your wife tags along.

Awww, the baby video was soo cute. 

[BitterApple]

Evy is getting much cuter now that she's filling out.

Did she really leave that infant in the recliner while she dragged that tree out of the closet?

Is she old enough to roll over ?

[zoomama]

 around 4 months is when they are able to roll over ….i was worried too. 

[emmawoodhouse]

Joy, it's Thanksgiving. Knock it off with the ads.

[Chicklet]

See that's the problem, infants don't read the books on development and those younger than the age they are supposed to roll over sometimes do it anyway. You really can't turn your back on a baby, specially if you are stupid and put them in a precarious place. And not in an infant seat or a stroller.

That's a good question.  🤔 Maybe a boppy pillow? That's all I've got. 

[iwantcookies]

Joy would look much better with 14 inches of hair cut off. 
 

Cute pics.

I like the jammies

I'm not sure. But it sure read like an ad.

[truebluesmoky]

I haven’t actually heard them say Evelyn’s nickname out loud. Do they pronounce it Eeevey or Eh-vy? Long or short E?

It's Eh-vee. Joy has said it many times. 😊

Not just a recliner, but a rocking recliner with her toddler son in the recliner next to her. While she had two different infant seats that Evie could have been buckled into for safety. 

ETA: She could have put Evie in the SnuggleMe she's hawking on Instagram!

Gideon has a bedtime, I’m impressed since Joy and siblings never had one.

But Austin grew up in a family for whom a strict "early to bed, early to rise" schedule was definitely enforced (if you go back to that old "world's strictest parents" (or whatever it was) episode. He probably continued enforcing that along with his work ethic.

[awaken]

Joy gave me an eye roll and a facepalm when I asked if they blanket train. I feel honored.

I think it's a legitimate question given Austin has defended the Pearl's abusive child rearing techniques and Michelle blanket trained some? most? all? of her and her siblings.

Thank you, I agree!  Both families have promoted and espoused the Pearls’ methods, and as far as I know, the offspring haven’t outright denounced it, other than Amy.

Not just their families. Austin himself has defended them.

This is a mistake that even people with an actual education make.  To me it sticks out "like a sore thumb."

Why this is worthy of posting baffles me...I guess Joy gets it?

[Nysha]

Maybe Austin wanted Joy to check for eyelash mites?

[floridamom]

SOTDRT strikes again? Do they not know that the sentence should read YOU ARE a....? You're is a contraction for YOU ARE. Your indicated possession. Really Joy, are you going to home school your children? I guess she will ship them off to Ben, the Duggar homemade schoolmarm.

Anna calls them a "dynamic couple." Please. 🙄

Think and thin? Guess she's not proof reading before posting.  Or that's how she really says it.

Not to mention that dress/nightgown is way too big for her.  And what is with posing in grass they all seem to do?

Edited December 6, 2020 by skipnjump
correct spelling

[Chicklet]

So in addition to all coming down with COVID they will all have lyme disease at the same time from all the posing in the weeds. Fun times.
