I’m probably in the minority here, but I really liked when current social media posts were shared, even with minimal commentary. I don’t follow many of them on social media, and don’t really desire to. It was nice to click on the thread and see what the latest shenanigans the fundies are up to. Many of the pics spur new conversation. ?‍♀️

The only reason I have Tumblr is to follow the fundie blogs and catch up on the pictures. 

I see I missed another episode and again missed absolutely nothing.

Another week, another waste of an hour.  Between this and daylight savings I lost 2 hours this week.

TL/dW - NOTHING HAPPENED

Kendra’s Got a Secret

*Not so much of a secret considering she had the baby Saturday…

Joken’s house

Kendra explains that joe is at work and she’s making “a surprise” for him.  She pops chicken in the oven and explains that she only had ONE TEST left and they’re expecting! YES! She couldn’t believe it! Now she has to keep it a secret until she can tell him.  The plan is to make dinner and ask him to pick up ice cream and she’ll serve it in the bowl she’s decorating… with her middle finger!

stickers.thumb.jpg.8ddfa1df2d9b211b7f119b6bc6c82b13.jpg

Because everyone has food safe “we’re expecting” stickers on hand and the time to make bowls while your kid chews on a wooden spoon

spoon.thumb.jpg.b753a44f9d6174b35a2e429a77cc5764.jpg

She explains that she’s putting edible glue on the stickers to keep him from accidentally licking the plate clean and eating the sticker.

We are treated to a close up of a Garrett diaper blowout in the kitchen.

After a wardrobe change Garrett chills in his bouncer.  Kendra thinks it’s so funny that she’s a mom because she’s so young.

Joe gets a call from Kendra “at the lot.”  It’s not super busy, 4-5 people.  He’s worked there for a few years selling and fixing cars.  She asks him to leave early because dinner will be ready early.  He needs Josiah to cover for him.  She asks him to pick up ice cream for dessert.  Kendra giggles that he’s clueless and “hopefully won’t suspect anything.”

BENESSA’S HOUSE

Jessa is due in 11 weeks.  They need to maximize their space because they have a great backyard but no way to get to it. They’re putting in a back door and a deck.

Producer asks how space has been an issue – flashback to the original Duggar home as boob and Michelle tell us all about their new house and how awesome it is.

Ben jokes you’d have to start 2 days out to shower people for church.

Jessa explains that she’s in nesting mode and “most” pregnant women get nesting mode where they get a rush of energy to get it ready for arrival.

Ben explains that she has repainted the living room, given away furniture…

Jessa says everyone benefits because things get clean and projects get done.

Duggar brothers are “working quickly to install the door because there’s a Duggar party in 2 days (of course)

Jason is in charge because he’s a house flipper now

houseflipper.thumb.jpg.8d674ad682b5db282b56c028ae0b1df4.jpg

They argue about depth and jerking arms.  Jessa yells to “pull out a little bit.”

They rip off the siding.  Ben kicks the drywall…

They get the door in.  Jessa loves it

door.thumb.jpg.0f222fbec9e21bbe4cb8a39b1fd85c99.jpg

Next they’ll start the deck and let the posts set overnight.

COMMERCIAL

JOKEN’S HOUSE

Kendra continues cooking enough food to feed 11 people.  Joe comes come “go big or go home” with pickles!

Kendra feeds Garrett and asks Joe how work was.  It was good for a Thursday. 

TH – it’s hard to stay calm because I wasn’t eating.

She says she will get the ice cream because they have to “get going.”  Kendra is so nervous to tell him that she drops it on the floor.  She manages to get some in the bowl and serves it.

Joe eats… she eats…

TH – he normally eats so fast and at any point he’d find out!

Joe – I saw something like a twig or a piece of grass in mine

Kendra cackles HES SO CLOSE!

Joe remarks that he’s never seen the bowl.  Kendra tells him to look at it.  He says “really, is that right?”  They hug and she tells him that she’s 5 weeks. He tells her to finish the ice cream.

TH – I’m not usually emotional so I didn’t tear up but I was happy.

Kendra – We are so happy, Garrett brings us such joy we’re happy to bring another one.  We now have to tell the family!

SAN ANTONIO

Jinger is taking a “stroller stride” class with felicity.  Jinger thinks there’s a lot of pressure on moms to do and be everything so it’s nice to come together with other moms to come together and share struggles and challenges. 

Jeremy drops her off

Jinger  - I like the class because it doesn’t interfere with everyday life. I don’t need a babysitter. It’s important to have time with other moms.

Jinger is wearing leggings under a skirt, BTW

skirt.thumb.jpg.2beaac84ece0fba92299f33feb3009ff.jpg

THs of things you give up as a parent – sleep, time with  your spouse etc. You gotta make time with other times for “romance.”

JInger runs with felicity with Jessa and Ben talking over about getting “us time” to talk/read/pray.

Felicity starts crying and another woman pushes her while Jinger does her lunges.

COMMERCIAL

BENESSA’S HOUSE

Justin, Jason, and Jedidiah are going to work on the door/deck.  Jessa and Ben are going to take Henry to the Dr and spurgeon is staying behind to “help.”

Spurgeon loves to hang out with his uncles at the big house. Producer asks “who’s your favorite uncle?”

“Daddy”

spurge.thumb.jpg.b1ef507caa02a8954c42a633cf1542ab.jpg

Jessa explains that spurge gets his uncles confused and messes up the names, except Jed.

Benessa heads to the dr with Henry.  She reminds them to keep the back gate shut. They teach spurge how to use power tools.

powertools.thumb.jpg.4f1591396c5c153d20880523a0ca1d4c.jpg

At the ENT dr because they think Henry has some speech delays and they want an opinion.  Jessa says that since he was 18 months he hasn’t communicated like the others.  He isn’t catching on and can’t talk/communicate what he wants. He grunts and points.

They check his ears

Jinger th – I definitely compare felicity to other kids her age.  You can’t compare too much because every kid is different.

Jessa th – as a mom it’s easier to dress out and ben is level headed.

They see the dr.  Jessa explains that he has some speech delays.  He had a bad tongue tie which was clipped.

Producer boob/Michelle – what about Josie?

With Josie we had respiratory specialists. She had to learn to suck and swallow

Kendra – we took Garrett to a chiro.  We fixed it with a few treatments.

Dr doesn’t think Garret’s hearing loss is an issue (no loss).  This is the time to focus on getting his speech development going.  He’s not behind, he’s on track. It’s just a speech issue and they should see a speech pathologist.

Michelle – learning about it helps take away fears. They’ve done a good job.

COMMERCIAL

BENESSA’S HOUSE

Spurgeon is hiding under a toy slide eating an ice cream sandwich.  He got it from the fridge and tore the wrapper all over the floor.  Apparently they were “busy” on the deck project and he was unattended.  Jed tells him he has to ask him next time and pick up his wrappers.

They bring him outside to “keep a better eye on him.”  Spurge tells them that he has a poopy diaper.  None of the guys want to change his diaper.  They text to see where Jessa is.  She’s only 5 minutes away. They decide to wait.

Jessa returns and she’s told about the poop.

Jessa TH – toddler diapers are especially disgusting. I wouldn’t expect the boys to change it.

A bird “anoints” ben

birdpoop.thumb.jpg.f222272d5fc5ab79024ab801a1ba73b2.jpg

He says he’s going to go take a shower.  Jessa jokes that she should take spurge in the shower too.

They finish up the deck and the sun sets.  The next day… the deck is “done.” They are proud of themselves.

Jana comes over, she’s wearing black.  Jessa is wearing pink and ben blue.  They decorate and Jessa explains that they’re playing games.

Jessa explains that Jana, JInger, and Anna know what the sex is (gender). 

Ben arrives with pizzas.  The Duggars arrive.  Jordyn doesn’t think they’re going to tell because she’s on their buddy system and she doesn’t know.  That’s kind of sad…

COMMERCIAL

More parking on the grass

Jessa says it’s like when they all take a trip on the family bus, very tight.  Anna is in the mix but joshly is hiding. Kendra says that she’s going to announce too.  Jana tries to herd the cats into the living room.

They ask questions per the game.  This is a SNOOZER

Lauren TH – jokes about maybe jess slipped and said “he was kicking” one night when they went out

JD TH – sympathy weight is an old wives tale and it’s ridiculous. He’s eating too much.

Ben complains that he’s had to brew coffee outside because of her food aversions.

Jana barks out more rules

Jessa explains that they aren’t telling the “gender” tonight, but opens the floor to others who have “special news.”  Jessa explains she had a hunch.

Kendra TH – when Jessa opened the floor she decided it was the perfect time.

Joe announces and everyone claps. Jessa says that she thinks it’s a boy (um, she’s like 6 weeks…)

Boob says he has 12 “going on 14” grandkids.

Producer tries to get Tyler to tell her if there’s a secret coming

NEXT WEEK

JinJer apt hunt in LA

Duggar “family fun” night so they’re going camping

Lauren has an “announcement.”

Of course ‘the boys’, including his own father, don’t change poopy diapers. ?

So Benessa host a sex reveal but then tell everyone they’re not going to reveal?

Ironic that they aired Kendra announcing the pregnancy after she gave birth to Addison. I wonder if Lauren will have her baby by next Tuesday...

That screenshot of Jinger, though. ?

The Duggars are so dull that far too often these episodes have pooping as a plotline. They're literally boring as shit.

How many episodes are in this season. On google the episodes only go up to the marriage bootcamp episode but none of the episodes mention anything about Mary's funeral.

It's a literal shit show.....

At the very least they could  have walked spurge in the shower and had him take off the dipe and throw it in an open trash bag. They wouldn't have had to touch anything- just hold the bag wide open and then turn on the water (and set the temp).

That was my thought exactly. I teach 3 year olds and it's a school rule that all students *have* to be potty trained.  We do have some that have accidents/are still working on it, but absolutely none of them are still in diapers.

The boys mentioned that Elijah was helping them with the deck. (I swear it sounded like Jlijah; not sure if that was their accents or a family joke.) He wasn’t onscreen because he’s not part of the cast. Then Anna was at the pointless gender guess party, but we didn’t see Josh. It made me wonder if their parties feature JB announcing, “Would non-cast-members please go in the kitchen for a little while? Jill has some snacks in there for y’all!”

Every single kid is different.

I have four kids some trained well before 3 and then there’s my son who turned 3 in September and won’t even look at a potty. We try our best but short of tying the potty seat to him we can’t exactly do anything to force him.

It happens with time and it happens when the kids are ready.

Miniway was so stubborn with his pottytraining. We started trying to use the potty when he was 1 but he always refused it. He was almost 4 when he finally stopped with the diapers. He’s been pretty much completly dry since then, at night too. Only had a handful of accidents.  

I think it’s good Jessa doesn’t push Spurgeon before he’s ready but who lets someone walk around with poop for longer then nesessary? That’s just shitty. Was Ben actually there? And did she really include him in ”the boys” she didn’t expect to change Spurgeon’s diaper?

Iirc Jessa and Ben have said that Ben is a good sport about diapers in the past... Maybe she was playing to the cameras? She does that more than any of the rest of them.

She's so bossy and Ben is so amiable that I find it hard to imagine that they'd let the kid suffer on purpose. She'll absolutely angle it for some convoluted show gimmick though.

She also mentioned that they needed to get Spurge moving with potty training once she was pregnant with Ivy, but wasn't rushed about it.

I had a client who’s son wasn’t potty trained he was close to 4. He was suppose to go to camp in the summer of 2014.  Not sure if he was fully trained but he went to camp only because this family had money & the camp didn’t want to piss the family off.

I thought Ben was with Jessa at Henry's appointment? I could be wrong, I didn't watch the episode, That is just what I got out of the recap.

My middle child was also almost 4 before he potty trained. He day and night trained at the same time and only had few accidents once he was done, mostly when he was busy playing and didn't want to stop long enough to use the bathroom.

And thus Jed gets his first major endorsement. Vote for Jed Duggar, the only lost boy to stand out to (one of) his nephew(s). Sort of.

My daughter was fully potty trained by 20 months. She hated having a dirty diaper, when she realized there was another option she was fully on board with it. My son is only 14 months, but I can already tell that he'll be in no way ready to begin potty training at the same age my daughter did. He could surprise me, I guess, but by this age my daughter was getting frantic the second she had a dirty diaper and he still could not care less.

Jessa previously said on Instagram that she was going to follow Michelle's method of not attempting potty training until the child is old enough to take off their own pants and pull them back up. I kind of disagree with that. Developmentally, a child could be fully able to know when they need to pee or poop but still unable to employ the fine motor skills involved in dressing and undressing themselves. I wouldn't hold a potty capable child back for that reason.

Ben was with Jessa and when they came back a bird pooped on Ben and she joked showers for both of them. Ben wasn't refusing to change him his uncle's were, Jessa was almost home when they called and Spurgeon said he was fine waiting.

Yeah, my oldest also potty trained super early. Somewhere around 20-21 months w switched to underwear but she had been waking up dry for months before that. She was one of those kids that hated having a wet or dirty diaper and she was very much on schedule. She pooped every night right before bath time so I started just sticking her on the potty while I got the bath ready. In the morning she would wake up dry and again, we just had her sit on the potty right away and she would go. But my son just didn't show any interest at all. So we just waited. And waited. He potty trained right before his younger sister was born, so about 3 months before he turned 4. My youngest was somewhere in between, not as easy as her older sister but ready long before her older brother. I think she was a bit over 2 1/2.

I had the exact opposite school of thought. Early potty training is more parent training, IMO. My kids trained at 3. Because I told them there would be no more diapers after 3. And that was it. Every one was developmentally ready and able to take off their own clothes- putting them back on was sometimes a struggle. Night time they were dry too.

Most of my kids PT around 2.5. I had heard girls are easier so tried a little earlier with my daughter. It was like a year of PT as a result. I’m a firm believer in waiting until kids are totally ready and capable of negotiating pants.

I imagine by the time they were 20 years old, all of the Duggar girls had changed plenty of diapers. Even before they had children of their own. Obviously this was not the Duggar boys' jurisdiction.
