Seewalds 36: Waiting for the Next Cute Kid Video or Photo

[SapphireSlytherin]

That bandaid looked as though it wasn't applied firmly. There was no screeching and no post-removal redness. I'll give a firm "A-OK" to that video.

I remember one of the Bates saying [Amy’s] car looked like an illegal pharmaceutical sales reps car on an episode of the show

 

I’m fairly sure that was actually one of Josh’s used cars, not Amy’s, that was around to transport everyone to Silver Dollar City. IIRC, Josh made the comment about his concern in his car was Amy, and Amy was waving her iPod around and saying she’d be just fine as long as she could drown our the singing.  The Bates’ comment was around the same point in that episode, but unrelated to Amy.

"Jordyn was the forgotten child for the most part, so that's entirely possible."

 

I remember an episode when for some reason Jchelle and everyone was gone and Jimboob was alone with Jordyn and Josie. They were all on this huge bed and Jboob just kept going on and on about Josie. And Jordyn was floating around on the bed and Jboob kept talking about how much Jordyn loved, loved, loved taking care of Josie. She was what--1? And not only taking care of Josie, but loving it, was her assigned role. Looking back, I'm mean enough to wish she'd bit him or something.

[Bobology]

That may have been the same episode where, at the dining room table, Jordyn gave JB the best squinty sidelook stink eye I've ever seen. JB was somehow left alone to babysit/parent the youngest.

I’d even support her biting him now.

I would support it, if it didn't make me sick to my stomach just thinking about the repercussions to her doing it. 

I'll dream about a grown arse (married kid) of his smacking him in the head instead. Their will be consequences but at least they are adults and "out from under his control" Or Jana as she walks her arse out the door...

The only thing I can see are her FILTHY feet.  You know how dirty that floor must be and all those smalls crawling on it? I'm not a germaphobe by any standard, I'm very much a bring me yer germs they don't scare me! But I can't handle filthy.

Of course- your cousin's toys are always much cooler than your toys, even if they are identical!

For all you know she may have been running around outside in bare feet.

Also the dirt would be good for their immune systems (current indications are that increased allergy rates are at least partially explained by a lack of bacteria in kids environments).

It's Christmas, they obviously had a ton of people over. Unless they were scrubbing the floors every two hours, there's no way to really prevent that.

And kids will find a way to get dirty no matter what.

That's okay, I hear kids are washable now!

Hahah been like that for a while. I'm 30 and my Nanny always said that I couldn't get into much that wouldn't come off with a good scrubbing!  I was the kid with the dirty socks, koolaid moustache, and twigs/leaves in my hair.

I don't have one pic of me little where my hair wasn't trying to messily escape barrettes/pony tail holders.  and there's a reason no one ever dressed me in white.

[AussieKrissy]

I was always grubby within minutes of being clean as a kid and now....

[AtlanticTug]

Yes the feet are filthy but the first thought I had was that I was cold just looking at them. Granted, I don't know what the temps are down in Arkansas at Christmas but we're all up in nice, toasty socks in the Northeast. My kids scream about their feet being cold as soon as they're out of their bath.

The toy is a Sea Patroller. My 3-year-old and all his similarly-aged cousins asked for one and got it. It's in the newest season of Paw Patrol so for them a big deal. I have to imagine that the M'Kids are watching the show if Meredith got one.

[Alice in Fundieland]

Jessa posted a video of some of the little kids making gingerbread houses out of graham crackers and other odds and ends. Meredith kept calling out, “See my house? Jessa, look at my house!” and I couldn’t figure out who it was until Jessa answered her. It occurred to me that although I feel bad for Meredith that Josh is her father, at least she has been fortunate to so far remain mostly out of the public eye.

I believe the Duggar house has a radiant heat floor.

[Chewing Gum]

Lol, even aunt Jessa can't keep Marcus and Michael apart.

The thing is- we have no real idea what kind of father Josh is nowadays. Is he strict? Checked out? Involved? Doesn’t care? Caring? Giving lots of leeway?

I couldn’t really say. Same goes for Anna by the way.

We're up in the (usually cold, except for now) Northeast and my aunt has BEAUTIFUL Italian stone flooring on the first floor of her house with radiant heat underneath because it gets cold. I definitely prefer to still be in socks in her house. You can still feel the heat through socks, but the floors do tend to be slippery with them so I get the appeal of going barefoot, too.

[SassyPants]

How often does radiant heating have problems that require ripping open the floor? The way it’s just layed in always made me leery. I have large, ply length ceramic tiles in my bathroom and I often wish they were heated.

That was our house Christmas morning... three 3 year olds opening presents is tough when we’re all learning how to share.

I grew up in houses with tile floor basically my whole life because I'm a Florida girl. On days where a lot of people would be coming in and out of the house (like Christmas gatherings) it's just gonna get a little dirty and particles of sand, dirt etc. that people track in stick to your feet.

I still consider tile much more sanitary than carpet. I despise carpet. A rug here and there is nice because I do like to sit on the floor sometimes (I don't have any rugs in our house because I don't trust our dogs not to be jerks at the moment). I just feel like carpet collects and traps things like dust and vacuuming only gives me some comfort. And it's not like you're going to have someone come in and deep clean the carpets as often as you could mop a tile floor.
