Jill and Jessa Counting On - Part 4

[choralcrusader8613]

Recap from Part 3:

Jana and Jinger are supposedly breaking jender roles by doing house repairs and selling cars.

Jinger's role in flipping the car is questionable.

Ben is snarky about the word babysitting when it applies to parenting his kid (gee, wonder why?)

Joy's "episode" is coming up on April 5.

The Duggars are as awkward as ever.

Take it away, y'all!

I can already tell that Joy's episode is just going to make me cringe even more than the previous episodes.

How many times do you think the words "ladylike" and "tomboy" will be used in the Joy episode?

why does tlc think that a baby shower for some unknown person is "the party of the year"? cringe worthy indeed...

[season of life]

Jana does stuff with treehouses and lights.

Jinger does stuff with cars.

What "masculine" activity do you assume Joy will partake in? I bet you TLC googles activities for guys and assigns one to each of the girls. Oh, and I bet you Joy isn't courting or interested in anyone either. Cuz so far, Jana and John haven't mentioned anyone.

[Hera]

So if the girls are doing "manly" things, does that mean the guys are going to do "girly" things in "their" episodes?  Because I'm sure somewhere there's a giant pile of laundry that JD can take care of.

Was Joy the one who on a long-ago episode didn't want to nap? And was told that you nap until you are 6 or something by Jessabitch? And then when she did say OK got taken to task for not saying "yes, Ma'am." Say it again, "yes, "ma'am."
My heart bleeds for that poor girl, and although she is 18, she is a girl

My synopsis for this series as a whole: Here's a whole bunch things the kidadults totally do (or don't do) all the time despite the fact that it's all either completely absent from previous decade worth of film we have on them or is in complete opposition to it.  But we swear this time it's for reals.

Also two things that I was thinking watching this: 1: I know others have said this but I have to comment on the utter lack of toys for either Spurgeon or Izzy. Izzy in particular seems desperate for some teethers. Seriously though, I've never seen a house with a baby with a toyless living room before Bin and Jessa's.  And 2: Are we seriously expected to believe that JB and Michelle were not involved in "Jinger's" car flipping or "Jana's" treehouse? (Quotes because they neither of them seem particularly involved in wither project beyond watching) Cause I'm not buying it.

Just finished reading part 3! Here is my  

1) I live in Texas and yes sometimes in the summer it was just way too damn hot to play (run around) outside. Fortunately, I grew up with a pool in my backyard and we lived in the pool during the summer. My mom didn't like us to be outside for too long during the heat of the day (12-3pm) because of 'sun sickness'. I am not quite sure what the real term for sun sickness or if it's just a regional term, but my sister had it once and she got extremely itchy, sunburned, and fatigued.

2) Yes only children are great. On the flip side, I am one of 5 kids and loved growing up in a big family. All 5 of us are close, my younger sister and I are seriously best friends. There is something about the bond of sibling that a friend just can't replace IMO. So family strife and discord isn't always the case in big families just like not every only child grow up to be an entitled spoiled brat that never had to share anything in their life.

3) This episode was hard for me to watch.... And I was a Duggar Huggar pre stumbling onto FJ after clicking on this link while googling courtship rumors, back when I thought they were quirky and I had a similar but very very lite religious upbringing and could relate  (I started watching 19KaC to bond with my mom who LOVES them still, what can I say she is a southern baptist and believes its wholesome TV) 

SO THAT IS SAYING A LOT

That was Johannah, but the two of them are very similar in personality.

Once every 11 seconds along with purpose to, season of life and like.

In this new season of life, I, like, can no longer be a tomboy, so I, like, purpose to be more ladylike and stuff.

[choralcrusader8613]

This stuff is why I am not playing the Duggar drinking game I made up. I would be dead.

NO DRINKING GAMES DAMMIT!!!

 You know how long it would take me to type up a Helpmeet report if someone goes down for alcohol poisoning?

HAVE MERCY!

"Role models", with regard to her older sisters.

Choral crusader, thank you for that!

I am hoping that I will never see a thread called Counting On, season 2.

Haha, I feel like this right now. I didn't have any orange juice for mimosas, but I did have watermelon juice.

Champagne and watermelon juice, tastes A LOT like Boone's Farm Strawberry whatever.

I have a feeling that with the Duggar clan...you either hold the baby or you put the baby in a swing/bouncer/in a pack n play. I'm sure they don't even know what the term "tummy time" means. So I am not too shocked to see no toys laying around.

patsymae - i have a question for you then- why did Ben act like that in kitchen - his motivation - thoughts 

[CreationMuseumSeasonPass]

Just sat through the 10 minute sneak peak for the upcoming episode. Sierra has been bumped up to TH status sitting next to Jessa. Andddd, the party of the year for a girl named Kristin we've never been introduced to before. Stop trying to make this happen, TLC, it's not going to happen! Lastly, the baby boy is going to be named Brecken. It's nowhere near Spurgeon territory, but I'm an avid skier, so every time I heard the name, I automatically added "Ridge." Breckenridge, Colorado DOES have some amazing skiing lol.

[Bad Wolf]

I knew a kid called Brecon, named after the Brecon Beacons in Wales. I thought it was a nice name. Who is Kristin?
