I feel so bad for her kids. She shouldn’t be putting this on her children’s shoulders. What if she had miscarried? Would he then blame himself? We know she blames the kids every time they get sick. She tells them it’s due to sinning. So if she had miscarried, would he blame himself? Those poor kids.

Yep. And it’s not actually true either. We know they hired out plenty of stuff. If she actually made a list of the stuff they hired out, it would be long.

She could have actually had the kitchen designed so it would be easier to prep for meals and clean up afterwards.  I see nothing like that

I don't think her mind goes to functionality because she's not using that space for much. She's all pretty! Shiny!! NEW!!

She mentioned in a story yesterday that she had to clean some poopy diapers so the boys are nearly four and she still isn't toilet training them.  They will stay babies for a couple more years

I would be getting that looked into (ie seeing a continence nurse), that's unusually late to be still in diapers, particularly with older siblings. If she can't see that that is a problem it's a bit of a worry.

Ugh, she is constantly reminding everyone that they built the house themselves. 🙄

I think Joy is one of the siblings that was critical of Jill when she pulled away from the family the way she did, and they may not have much of a relationship right now. Don’t see any interaction on social media, though I know we don’t see everything. That would be a shame if that was the case, especially since Jill was there for Joy when Joy lost Annabelle. 

Joy commented on the IG post. Saying she was heartbroken for them or similar. She comments occasionally, the usual “ how cute” about a kid pic or whatever.  All the married daughters seem supportive of each other.  I don’t think we can really judge off social media interaction, or even photos together. They are all busy, with lots of small children, and most of the events we get photos of are crowded with not everyone present necessarily in the picture. They may text or send each other funny memes or get together for coffee and we know nothing about it.
