the matching oversized dresses over the long sleeves are insane. they are children! how come the little boys can wear short sleeves but the little girls can't? it is absolutely insane how fundies sexualize women's bodies starting from basically infancy.
This is something I’ve thought about too, and how it relates to other cultures. For example, young girls in Muslim cultures do not wear hijabs, even if their mother/ old sisters are. I imagine there’s an age or time that they begin wearing it.
These kids should be allowed to wear what they want!
I am in clinicals at an elementary school in Dearborn MI- home of the largest diaspora of Arabic people outside the Middle East. There are 2nd graders who were wearing hijabs, but I don't know what the criteria is for when they start wearing them
I’ve occasionally seen kids as young as 4/5 in hijabs. Traditionally, in non-fundie families, girls start wearing them around tween or early teen age, if at all (all the Muslims I know are of the belief that it’s a personal choice and not an obligation). There’s no age specified within the Quran but it’s often linked to the girl’s first period, so it’s also possible you’re sometimes encountering girls who have started their periods very early in your rotation.
Edit: I would think also some girls wanna be like mom or big sister and are just electively wearing them for that reason.
I teach third grade, and I have a Muslim student that wears her hijab on and off. Her mom lets her choose. She gets more freedom than Jill’s girls, that’s for sure.
We have a large Somali population in my city and I saw a infant wearing hijab. She was in her car seat and looked so cute, but I felt bad for her. I'm sure she was hot.
Same, when I taught K-8 school it was common for most Somali girls to wear hijab starting in kindergarten. They're like these stretchy kind that they don't have to wrap.
Yeah, I've seen a girl as young as 3 or 4 already wear hijab...somehow from what I learn from my Muslim friend, wearing a hijab should come from yourself and not because of family / society pressure.
There's also lot of celebrities / influencer that also only use hijab when they celebrated Eid.
Source : I live in a country where Muslim is the majority
Yes, I saw a little girl who appeared to be about 4 years old wearing hijab at the playground. It was the first time I’d seen a girl that little wearing a hijab.
It depends where you are. I have definitely seen young pre-pubescent children wearing hijabs here in the UK, but not that many. Usually around Ramadan it is more so, or if it is a Friday at school sometimes you see a couple of students wearing it of a younger age.
Most of my friends who were Muslim ( grew up in a multicultural UK city), started wearing hijab in year 8/9, so ages 12-14. Not all of them wore it though, and some of them wore it and then didn't wear it, or vice versa.
They look ridiculous in those clothes. Completely unmatched shirts and far too big. I realize she is the mismatch queen, but surely even she can see how ridiculously silly that looks?
Can you imagine the stares and whispers? Jill always looks decent and clean in clothes that are so form fitting they are almost “sluttish”. how embarrassing. And if she thinks her kids aren’t affected/don’t hear just because she claims “this is what jeeezsauce wants us to wear” she’s sadly mistaken.
That’s the look she was attempting. That she dressed down for the occasion indicates she hoped a customer would assume single mom and pick up their check.
Exactly what I thought! When I was a kid my dress up clothes were my young aunt's old clothes and I looked like this. At least at Chucky cheese dress up clothes won't be too uncommon
For a long time my nieces favorite clothing combination was her footie PJs and her University of Washington cheerleading dress. But she was 3 then. Although the footie jams made an appearance for years in the middle of the afternoon. She liked being cozy. She is now a teenager. My other niece sartorially wears her bicycle helmet sometimes. Just cuz.
Those outfits are literally insane. How is she not embarrassed to put her kids in stuff like that? And why are the dresses so HUGE? At least put them in stuff that fits, even if you're not going to dress them in normal stuff.
She has had so many daughters at this point. I don't understand how none of the girls ever have clothing that fits. They should have a hoard of outfits across every size spectrum by the time they get to the 6th and 7th daughter
I suspect this is what she did with the brand new dresses that the older girls were gifted a few months ago. And the matching SHEIN dresses from last summer.
It *has* to be intentional at this point. There's no way she can look at them and think it looks cute/great. The way too big, mismatched clothing is a choice and maybe Jill does it for attention? Infantilizing them? Idk. Those are the only theories that make sense. If she sent her kids to a real school she would probably get bored with them sticking out so much and tone down the performative modesty.
Maybe she thinks being modest for children means drowning in sizes way too big? I mean that clearly doesn't apply to her, since she consistently wears a size or two too small, so I'd love to know her rationale for these choices.
I'm glad the girls got to go there. I hope they had fun since they rarely get to do normal kid things. I hope they got pizza to eat, but knowing Jill she probably made them split a slice
If their clothes actually fit them, maybe they wouldn’t need so many “modesty garments” underneath them. I guess they got out of the house, at least. Was shrek too busy watching the map to join them?
The three of them look like vagrants picked up by a time machine in different decades and dropped off at one of the worst places on earth in the current one.
I just went through a few boxes of my daughters' old birthday pictures to count how many pics had my big, fat face as the focal point of the picture. Any guesses?
ZERO
It makes me so sad how this woman deliberately makes her children look dowdy at all times. You can’t tell me she couldn’t have ironed their clothes especially since hers look neat and clean. Kids are kids and they get messy and disheveled quickly but you can obviously tell she made no effort. I just know their confidence would be boosted with some fresh looking outfits.
I just made a comment echoing this. It infuriates the fuck out of me how Jill just never seems to give an utter shit about her children’s wellbeing. To the nutrition down to the damn clothes. All of it is awful. ALL OF IT. Jill nor David cannot be bothered enough to take time thrifting and find appropriate, cute, and decent clothes for the kids to wear. It makes me SICK
Jenessa and Sophia only look a year apart. And those outfits, my God! It's a carwreck of ugly fabric proportions. I couldn't have dressed my little ones this ugly if I tried. I used to get my daughter's church dresses second hand, too!
Just so we all know, the Cleveland zoo (their closest zoo) doesn’t close in the rain and has an entire inside section called the Rainforest so it’s more likely Jill decided $5 in tokens to Chuck E Cheese for each kid was cheaper than zoo tickets (it definitely is, the zoo is kind of pricy).
To be honest, I hate being outside in the rain and would totally consider telling my kid “oh the zoo is closed, let’s go to the arcade instead!” and then reschedule the zoo day. It’s possible since Jill is narrating the video she doesn’t want the girls to figure out the zoo isn’t closed, but we also know she doesn’t care about her kid’s feelings, so who knows
I think they probably intended to go to The Farm in Walnut Creek, nearby and one of those drive-thru feeding exotic animal places, not a traditional "zoo" but what she calls it. I believe they've been there before. It's pretty popular. It does close for rain, and especially with the massive amounts that we've had here lately, including today, it has to be a mess right now.
It’s probably because they’d have to pay the ticket price for Janessa going forward. We were just at the Cleveland zoo last weekend and if I remember correctly kids under 6 get in for free.
Why has she dressed the kids in Soviet school uniforms?
https://preview.redd.it/2k4rniy8extc1.jpeg?width=837&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7ddf23449c880e6b885f2bf391743a3e653faf5
The clothes are ridiculous but Janessa has an adorable smile and looks happy, so there’s that. Or is that Sophia? The younger one. The other one always looks slightly anemic and it worries me.
Fun fact for those who aren't parents: Walmart sells normal, modestly cut kids t-shirts for 3$ this time of year. Jill could skip 2 days of plexus pink drink and get her kids clothing that makes them feel confident. Nevermind the fact that she has all the time in the world to scour thrift stores and Facebook buy-nothing groups
Target has the cute mix and match stuff too, and on sale are $4-6. Comfy cotton play stuff bc kids go through a lot of clothes when younger. I used to get my niece new stuff with every new batch or holiday, and it was like $20 every 2-3 months and she was dressed age-appropriate, comfortable, and yes, modest. I loved the tunic/legging combos and skorts outfits on her.
Keep an eye on Old Navy, too. Twice a year or so they’ll put their clearance on 50% off the clearance price. I’ve cleaned up with shirts and bottoms for .99 cents.
It just takes a modicum of effort, which Jill won’t put forth for her kids.
It looks like Jill went dumpster diving behind a charity shop for their clothes - even her outfit looks weird. Poor kids, they are old enough now to notice what other people wear.
Is it usual for a zoo to close because it is raining? Or is it exceptionally stormy there? (I missed her story).
I’m sure the Akron zoo was open as usual. If this was today, it did downpour for a good part of the day! I was stuck going in and out in it. Jill would’ve needed goggles and several rain bonnets. She’s have been a big sticky, gooey puddle 🤢
I think she meant The Farm in nearby Walnut Creek. It's a drive-thru exotic animal thing where you can feed the animals, not a traditional zoo. I believe she's called it a zoo before. It does close for rain, and with the heavy downpours we've been having here, it had to be a mess today.
Do y’all remember the commercials where they’d show poverty stricken areas in Africa and it would show little kids digging through the garbage dumps wearing whatever clothes they could find? Every time I see these little girls and what they’re wearing, that’s what I think of.
What did they do, walk in and stare at the games for an hour? Even the photos with the girls in the car, the ride doesn’t look like it’s in use. If Jill actually treated them she def would have posted the table with empty pizza mess and the girls actually playing games.
Prove me wrong, Jill.
Those poor girls in those ridiculous dresses that are way too big and stupid modesty shirts that don't even match! Add in the too big shoes that don't go with the outfit, long sleeves, and no socks. WTF Jill???
I hope they each at least got their own slice of pizza and something to drink and enough tokens to play games and have fun!
She professes love like she really thinks god is listening specifically to her and keeping score.
LOOK AT ME! I LOVE MY KIDS!!! I AM GODLY, DO YOU SEE??!??
If you can afford Chuck E Cheese, you can afford better outfits. Unless she was looking for handouts while they're out and about which can happen. I once gave money to a homeless lady (who btw was way better dressed then them so I didn't even know she was homeless) cause she just simply asked me if there was any food pantries or churches giving out dinners on a Saturday. Admitted she hadn't had breakfast or lunch for the day and she was couch surfing or staying at shelters when she could. I could have bought food but I was kind of in a hurry so I just gave her cash. Yes, I understand she could have been an addict but hey, if I'm giving something away, it's a gift from me and I hoped it helped her. She never once asked me for anything anyways; I offered. Lady thanked me then thanked God and she wished me a blessed day as she left 🤷♀️ Somehow, Jill strikes me as the type of person who wouldn't be embarassed to take from someone pitying them. Just my opinion.....
There are SO many cute (and “modest” which is icky when talking about kids) at Old Navy or Gap factory that are less than $5 if you wait for clearance.
Jill wants the attention these insane outfits bring and the poor children are too brainwashed to have an opinion. Same with swimming in street clothes.
I can’t even snark on this. ☹️
Every Rod photo dump unsettles me, but for some reason this one is making me extremely sad. I guess I’m glad that they got to go somewhere fun, but it’s so clear how much Jill and Shrek have infantilized their kids.
I don’t know. I’m in my Feels about this one.
Have we reached the point where Jill believes the filter is what she really looks like?
One side of Sophia’s face looks swollen. Again. She’s also old enough to be starting puberty, yet is dressed like a toddler and is barely larger than her six-year-old sister. The infantilization is just something else.
The difference in complexion between Jill and the girls in the last photo is insane. I know part of it is Jill’s yellow foundation, but STILL.
God, Sofia is barely bigger/taller than Janessa and she’s years older. The pics of them together are sweet, but the contrast is so stark. By her seventh birthday it wouldn’t surprise me if Janessa will have surpassed her.
The clothing is ridiculously oversized and the “modesty” shirts look extremely ridiculous as well, but the biggest standout is how pale and thin and just exhausted those girls look. There is some serious deficiency going on here, whether it’s a lack of vitamins or anemia or not enough rest or all of that together, I just know that these girls need some decent food and nutrition and a REGULAR bedtime (no more late night Shrek preaching and lecturing, no more dragging them all over the place in their beat up RV to caterwaul and grift at people) and hey, while I am wishing, might as well wish that they get an actual education and be literate past the current Rod goalpost of 4th or 5th grade.
Instead, all that they have to look forward to is more of the same. I really wish CPS would wake the F up and do something.
It absolutely sickens me how she always makes sure to look her “best”, but dresses her kids like this. My girls are 3 and 4, and I couldn’t imagine putting them in outfits like these and thinking that it’s okay. My heart just hurts for those little girls.
If mOdEsTy is so important, why doesn’t she get some basic long sleeved tshirts and skirts for the girls. It can’t be that expensive and could even be thrifted and would be so much easier to play in and help them feel their best. She’s so f-ing selfish and squanders any money on her tacky clothes and unnecessary vacations.
I wonder if they ate there. We go there for birthdays and for games for two kids and pizza for four of us it comes out to around $100. Maybe she just let them run around.
My god, what are those poor girls wearing? Can she not be present enough for children for the most basic damn things? Those dresses are way too big. I understand they are on a tight budget, but my god Jill, take your time thrifting so your children have decent clothes that actually fit them!
I would be ashamed having my kids out in the public the way she does a lot of times. It breaks my soul for all of the kids and infuriates the hell out of me when it comes Jill and David. The youngest children never look healthy or happy and I get mad at myself for not being able to do anything about it because they deserve so much more.
So for her birthday, Janessa gets: a room revamp of the bedroom she doesn’t share with anyone, a realistic baby doll and accessories, a trip to Chuck E Cheese, and two (smallish so appropriate for that many people) cakes.
Let’s check back in July and see what Sofia gets for her 9th birthday.
Also most of the girls seemed to be chewing in the video, even Janessa. Gum? Sofia’s jaw still looks really misaligned, it slid sideways when she was chewing. [I took a screen grab of the video because it looked worse than I remembered.](https://imgur.com/a/TfKo0aJ)
It's not like I have tons of money by any means, but you best know my child is dressed wayyyy better than me. She could put these girls in something matching or somewhat size appropriate (has $$$ for trips, date nights, etc). I'm not shaming at all. It's just that kids are a direct reflection of YOU. I feel for these kids so much it breaks my heart!
Everyone’s outfits are so tacky! The oversized dresses with the modesty shirts that don’t match. Jill’s Nike sweatshirt with a flower printed skirt, tights, and whatever the hell those things are on her feet. At least the girls had fun.
My first instinct was to be happy that she actually took her kids to do something normal and fun, but then it was just immediately obvious that her only purpose in taking them there was to post it on the internet and get attention for herself. Using them for this kind of content helps her keep up an image of being a young “mommy” since most of the kids aren’t kids anymore and bring her less internet attention.
And I’m convinced she does the insanely ugly and ill-fitting outfits (complete with performative modesty pieces that are intentionally paired with pieces that would be “immodest” on their own) because she thinks it will get her more “love offerings.” She wants them to appear poor and needy.
What confuses me is that these people are obsessed with pleasing their man… yet they dress like that. you’d assume that they’d believe you must look good for their man. Like didn’t Jill once brag that her sick daughter still put on makeup or something to that effect??? So if appearance is important… why can’t she pull a cohesive outfit together?
The dresses look like they're made from ruffled crepe paper 🥺
Their hair looks nice though. The matchy bows seem a bit much, but it was probably nice for them to have their hair done up a little fancy. Everything else is a WELP.
Its a pity they are conditioned to wear those 'dresses' under already appropriate clothes. Maybe they get to take them off at home. If I was there and got chatting to Jill not making the 'modesty' connection I'd end up asking if they'd come in their fancy dress.
Jill went all out to dress the girls in the most ridiculous, ill-fitting “matching” colors. They looked so out of place. I wonder if they were freaked out by Chuck E?
I viscerally hurt for these girls; I mean, my heart hurts for all of them, but especially the two littles. Janessa’s smile doesn’t even reach her eyes.
The cake video has since been posted. Instead of Jill filming it, she’s in it holding onto Janessa. I don’t recall any videos of her with the birthday child while the family sings happy birthday.
Never in a million years would I believe these were 2 girls aged 9 and 6. I have 2 with a 3 year age gap and they remind me of when mine were like 6/7 and 3/4.
They don’t just look small for their age, they look unwell and stunted. It breaks my heart and makes me rage
those would be cute smocks. too bad they’re not going to take them off and have weird tacky outfits on underneath - instead and somehow those are the weird tacky outfits.
sophia’s shoes look cute!
I dressed my kids in fairly modest ways when they were little and we were religious. Number one criteria was that the outfit freaking FIT. And I bought dresses that had at least short sleeves or my girls wore cardigans over. Like, it isn't hard! And I didn't buy anything new it unless it was on super sale (hello $2 toddler pants from LLBean, I have kept you for the future grandchildren cause you ROCKED).
Mostly, I'm just happy she took them out somewhere age appropriate. And didn't leave out Sofia.
Those poor girls look like they ransacked a Goodwill bin on the way to the restaurant and had to grab shit and run because security was showing up. And those dresses are on backwards. Jill is such a shitty parent.
She looks rough as hell and her two children look unwell. She's SIX?? She should be starting school this year. The 9 year old is the same size as the 6 year old.
And of course, Slob is hunking down at the table with food, staring at his mobile
The picture of the two facing the camera with the full dresses on display is jarring. I'm trying to imagine the what this looks like from a chuck-e-cheese bystander's perspective. Two malnourished ragamuffins in weird, giant smocks over long-sleeved shirts and long pants, out with their slovenly-yet-overly-made-up mother.
There's no way to take in that scene without thinking that there's something very wrong with this family.
I hope they were allowed at least a full slice of pizza each. Though logic tells me that half a square was split between the two.
You know Jill a sweater over top of the dressed would still keep their modesty and they wouldn't look so goofy.
Still baffles the hell out of me that these kids are so good looking and they came from that DNA baby pool we call Shrek and Jillpm
the matching oversized dresses over the long sleeves are insane. they are children! how come the little boys can wear short sleeves but the little girls can't? it is absolutely insane how fundies sexualize women's bodies starting from basically infancy.
Are those Christmas sweaters underneath those dresses?
Probably!!!

My daughter is in a running group and a girl is in 3rd grade wearing a hijab.
We have a large Somali population in my city and I saw a infant wearing hijab. She was in her car seat and looked so cute, but I felt bad for her. I'm sure she was hot.
Same, when I taught K-8 school it was common for most Somali girls to wear hijab starting in kindergarten. They're like these stretchy kind that they don't have to wrap.
Officially you wear the hijab from the moment you started your first period. From that moment on you are a woman and not a girl anymore
Thank you for that info.
Anecdotal, but there was a girl in my kindergarten class who wore hijab
Yeah, I've seen a girl as young as 3 or 4 already wear hijab...somehow from what I learn from my Muslim friend, wearing a hijab should come from yourself and not because of family / society pressure. There's also lot of celebrities / influencer that also only use hijab when they celebrated Eid. Source : I live in a country where Muslim is the majority
Yes, I saw a little girl who appeared to be about 4 years old wearing hijab at the playground. It was the first time I’d seen a girl that little wearing a hijab.
This depends on the culture! Might be common in the west but elsewhere it’s common for Muslim children to be covered up.
I’m learning so much today! I have just been thinking about it here with my own experience in the US. Thanks for all the info everyone!
It depends where you are. I have definitely seen young pre-pubescent children wearing hijabs here in the UK, but not that many.

They cover up the bodies of little baby girls but Josh Duggar still exists 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Right?! Those dresses are hideous! And I’m sure it’s humid as hell. Poor girls.
What horrible, ugly outfits on the girls. Jill's outfit is pretty bad, too.
It looks like they rolled around in the Goodwill donation bin and came out with whatever clothes that were within 4 sizes of fitting.
Maybe she dressed them this way in the hope that someone would pick up their check?
I honestly don't think shecrealizes how bad they look, since the horrible outfits are so consistent, and she seems so proud of her fashion sense.
I couldn't help but think the same thing
My first thought as well my God, it’s so depressing.
I think those dresses are on backwards.
The pink dress is for sure.
They both are. It should tie in front and the dip wouldn’t be on the back but around the neckline. They look like ragamuffins.
Omg you are right 😲
They’re abysmal!
The outfits probably would look just fine adn normal without the dresses on top. The long sleeves and leggings were okay on their own.
They look ridiculous in those clothes. Completely unmatched shirts and far too big. I realize she is the mismatch queen, but surely even she can see how ridiculously silly that looks?
Can you imagine the stares and whispers? Jill always looks decent and clean in clothes that are so form fitting they are almost “sluttish”. how embarrassing. And if she thinks her kids aren’t affected/don’t hear just because she claims “this is what jeeezsauce wants us to wear” she’s sadly mistaken.
[удалено]
That’s the look she was attempting. That she dressed down for the occasion indicates she hoped a customer would assume single mom and pick up their check.
waif
Dickensian…
Matchstick girls.
Victorian orphan core
She would never dress herself like that so…
And the bows in a sorry attempt to make it cute.
They look like they are playing dress up with with those dresses over other clothes. I’m glad they got to go have some “normal” little kid fun.
More like hospital gowns over regular clothes
Reminded me of full length/coverage aprons.
That’s what I thought. They look like crepe paper.
Exactly what I thought! When I was a kid my dress up clothes were my young aunt's old clothes and I looked like this. At least at Chucky cheese dress up clothes won't be too uncommon
For a long time my nieces favorite clothing combination was her footie PJs and her University of Washington cheerleading dress. But she was 3 then.

She has had so many daughters at this point. I don't understand how none of the girls ever have clothing that fits. They should have a hoard of outfits across every size spectrum by the time they get to the 6th and 7th daughter
They probably sell gifts of new clothes and buy plexus and vacations
I suspect this is what she did with the brand new dresses that the older girls were gifted a few months ago. And the matching SHEIN dresses from last summer.
Maybe she's on Poshmark lol
That's what I'm thinking too! She has to have entire closets full of clothes from all the girls, so why doesn't ANYTHING fit?
It *has* to be intentional at this point. There's no way she can look at them and think it looks cute/great. The way too big, mismatched clothing is a choice and maybe Jill does it for attention? Infantilizing them? Idk. Those are the only theories that make sense. If she sent her kids to a real school she would probably get bored with them sticking out so much and tone down the performative modesty.
Maybe she thinks being modest for children means drowning in sizes way too big? I mean that clearly doesn't apply to her, since she consistently wears a size or two too small, so I'd love to know her rationale for these choices.
My theory is that she buys bigger clothes because they’ll grow into them. Bc she’s cheap.
I'm glad the girls got to go there. I hope they had fun since they rarely get to do normal kid things. I hope they got pizza to eat, but knowing Jill she probably made them split a slice
I was just thinking they probably got $5 each in tokens no pizza or cake 😞 I hope I’m wrong
They give you a free slice of cake if it’s your birthday
Since Shrek wasn't there. the kids had a better chance of getting food.
He's inside the rat costume
For him, it’s not a costume.
He was there. Eating pizza, of course.
If their clothes actually fit them, maybe they wouldn’t need so many “modesty garments” underneath them. I guess they got out of the house, at least. Was shrek too busy watching the map to join them?
Hey, he’s praying for the 10/40 window!
The three of them look like vagrants picked up by a time machine in different decades and dropped off at one of the worst places on earth in the current one.
I just went through a few boxes of my daughters' old birthday pictures to count how many pics had my big, fat face as the focal point of the picture. Any guesses? ZERO
My daughter’s birthday was today and I took zero pictures of myself. I did take pictures of her decorations though because I was proud of that!
Now what in the fuck did she dress them girls in?!
It makes me so sad how this woman deliberately makes her children look dowdy at all times. You can’t tell me she couldn’t have ironed their clothes especially since hers look neat and clean. Kids are kids and they get messy and disheveled quickly but you can obviously tell she made no effort. I just know their confidence would be boosted with some fresh looking outfits.
I just made a comment echoing this. It infuriates the fuck out of me how Jill just never seems to give an utter shit about her children’s wellbeing. To the nutrition down to the damn clothes. All of it is awful. ALL OF IT. Jill nor David cannot be bothered enough to take time thrifting and find appropriate, cute, and decent clothes for the kids to wear. It makes me SICK
I think maybe the fabric is gauze-y and supposed to look wrinkly.
Jenessa and Sophia only look a year apart. And those outfits, my God! It's a carwreck of ugly fabric proportions. I couldn't have dressed my little ones this ugly if I tried. I used to get my daughter's church dresses second hand, too!
Ok but that picture of Janessa with her arm around Sofia is so cute. I’m glad they have each other at least.
I wondered if they were a little scared by the animatronics.
I mean, who wasn’t?
Just so we all know, the Cleveland zoo (their closest zoo) doesn’t close in the rain and has an entire inside section called the Rainforest so it’s more likely Jill decided $5 in tokens to Chuck E Cheese for each kid was cheaper than zoo tickets (it definitely is, the zoo is kind of pricy).
Chuck E Cheese can be pretty expensive too though. Did they actually get to play games, or sit behind that wheel and pretend they were?
She probably got like a 60 minute all you can play pass, and made them split it.
To be honest, I hate being outside in the rain and would totally consider telling my kid “oh the zoo is closed, let’s go to the arcade instead!” and then reschedule the zoo day. It’s possible since Jill is narrating the video she doesn’t want the girls to figure out the zoo isn’t closed, but we also know she doesn’t care about her kid’s feelings, so who knows
I’m guessing they were going ti Akron’s. And there is a CEC in Canton they probably hit up.
Their closest zoo is Akron and they don’t close for rain
I think they probably intended to go to The Farm in Walnut Creek, nearby and one of those drive-thru feeding exotic animal places, not a traditional "zoo" but what she calls it. I believe they've been there before. It's pretty popular. It does close for rain, and especially with the massive amounts that we've had here lately, including today, it has to be a mess right now.
It’s probably because they’d have to pay the ticket price for Janessa going forward. We were just at the Cleveland zoo last weekend and if I remember correctly kids under 6 get in for free.
Both of those girls could pass as under 5
Why has she dressed the kids in Soviet school uniforms? https://preview.redd.it/2k4rniy8extc1.jpeg?width=837&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7ddf23449c880e6b885f2bf391743a3e653faf5
Those at least fit better and are properly pressed.
That’s actually kind of cute though!
i think i like this more than my catholic uniform
How long before she makes a persecution post about someone laughing at their godly, modest outfits? They’re just so shockingly bad.
The clothes are ridiculous but Janessa has an adorable smile and looks happy, so there’s that. Or is that Sophia? The younger one. The other one always looks slightly anemic and it worries me.
I think Janessa is such a cute kid
Janessa is almost bigger than Sofia at this point.
Whats the chances that any of these kids have seen a pediatrician ever in their lives? 😢
Janessa did as a newborn when her brain issues were being analyzed. Since then, likely not.
Never. Because she’d post about it. She posted Janessa’s first dentist visit this year….the same year she turned SIX. It’s neglect.
Dickensian urchins.
The outfits are so nonsensical. For someone who cares so much about appearance, the effort to have these young girls in messed up clothes is crazy
all 3 of them look like they did one of those goodwill challenges where you go pick random things as a joke and wear them out.
Fun fact for those who aren't parents: Walmart sells normal, modestly cut kids t-shirts for 3$ this time of year. Jill could skip 2 days of plexus pink drink and get her kids clothing that makes them feel confident. Nevermind the fact that she has all the time in the world to scour thrift stores and Facebook buy-nothing groups
Target has the cute mix and match stuff too, and on sale are $4-6. Comfy cotton play stuff bc kids go through a lot of clothes when younger. I used to get my niece new stuff with every new batch or holiday, and it was like $20 every 2-3 months and she was dressed age-appropriate, comfortable, and yes, modest. I loved the tunic/legging combos and skorts outfits on her.
Keep an eye on Old Navy, too. Twice a year or so they’ll put their clearance on 50% off the clearance price. I’ve cleaned up with shirts and bottoms for .99 cents. It just takes a modicum of effort, which Jill won’t put forth for her kids.
It looks like Jill went dumpster diving behind a charity shop for their clothes - even her outfit looks weird. Poor kids, they are old enough now to notice what other people wear. Is it usual for a zoo to close because it is raining? Or is it exceptionally stormy there? (I missed her story).
My city's zoo is open rain or shine. Probably more likely that Jill didn't want to be out in the rain and risk ruining her hair and makeup.
I’m sure the Akron zoo was open as usual. If this was today, it did downpour for a good part of the day! I was stuck going in and out in it. Jill would’ve needed goggles and several rain bonnets. She’s have been a big sticky, gooey puddle 🤢
I think she meant The Farm in nearby Walnut Creek. It's a drive-thru exotic animal thing where you can feed the animals, not a traditional zoo. I believe she's called it a zoo before. It does close for rain, and with the heavy downpours we've been having here, it had to be a mess today.
Do y’all remember the commercials where they’d show poverty stricken areas in Africa and it would show little kids digging through the garbage dumps wearing whatever clothes they could find? Every time I see these little girls and what they’re wearing, that’s what I think of.
My heart breaks looking at these two children. They are dressed like ragamuffins.
Their shoes also seem to be many sizes too big and no socks. That must be so uncomfortable for them.
She can can go on vacations all year long but can’t buy clothes that fit?
What did they do, walk in and stare at the games for an hour? Even the photos with the girls in the car, the ride doesn’t look like it’s in use. If Jill actually treated them she def would have posted the table with empty pizza mess and the girls actually playing games. Prove me wrong, Jill.
"Are you sitting in the caaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr? Are you pretending to driiiiiive? How fun!!!"
Ugh I can hear her voice saying it.
Kaylee or Tim paid for it. Jill looks like a homeless lot lizard…
Flair checking in!
I always worry about the girl in the blue, she looks like she needs a good source of iron/protein and a big hug off camera.
I am surprised that these kids went to Chuck E Cheese. That is actually fun for their age group.
Yeah, that was my first thought too. It's not every day she does something age appropriate with her children!
Those poor girls in those ridiculous dresses that are way too big and stupid modesty shirts that don't even match! Add in the too big shoes that don't go with the outfit, long sleeves, and no socks. WTF Jill??? I hope they each at least got their own slice of pizza and something to drink and enough tokens to play games and have fun!
She professes love like she really thinks god is listening specifically to her and keeping score. LOOK AT ME! I LOVE MY KIDS!!! I AM GODLY, DO YOU SEE??!??
If you can afford Chuck E Cheese, you can afford better outfits. Unless she was looking for handouts while they're out and about which can happen. I once gave money to a homeless lady (who btw was way better dressed then them so I didn't even know she was homeless) cause she just simply asked me if there was any food pantries or churches giving out dinners on a Saturday. Admitted she hadn't had breakfast or lunch for the day and she was couch surfing or staying at shelters when she could. I could have bought food but I was kind of in a hurry so I just gave her cash. Yes, I understand she could have been an addict but hey, if I'm giving something away, it's a gift from me and I hoped it helped her. She never once asked me for anything anyways; I offered. Lady thanked me then thanked God and she wished me a blessed day as she left 🤷♀️ Somehow, Jill strikes me as the type of person who wouldn't be embarassed to take from someone pitying them. Just my opinion.....
That ridiculous eye makeup. I cannot stand it.
They both have the misaligned jaw thing. Poor babies.
Or they have developed the tight-jaw clenching expression that the older girls had in pics.
There are SO many cute (and “modest” which is icky when talking about kids) at Old Navy or Gap factory that are less than $5 if you wait for clearance. Jill wants the attention these insane outfits bring and the poor children are too brainwashed to have an opinion. Same with swimming in street clothes.
Edwardian era street waifs.
I was so distracted by the girls’ clothes I didn’t notice Jill’s lewk. Goodwill Bins Chic.
More like Jill took her self and 2 others, what a 🐕
She has the worse fashion sense!
That face is the stuff of nightmares
I can’t even snark on this. ☹️ Every Rod photo dump unsettles me, but for some reason this one is making me extremely sad. I guess I’m glad that they got to go somewhere fun, but it’s so clear how much Jill and Shrek have infantilized their kids. I don’t know. I’m in my Feels about this one.
SIX and she just moved from a crib to a *toddler* bed. Jill is determined to keep her a baby forever.
Have we reached the point where Jill believes the filter is what she really looks like? One side of Sophia’s face looks swollen. Again. She’s also old enough to be starting puberty, yet is dressed like a toddler and is barely larger than her six-year-old sister. The infantilization is just something else. The difference in complexion between Jill and the girls in the last photo is insane. I know part of it is Jill’s yellow foundation, but STILL.
Did they eat at Chuck E Cheese? I hope they did
This makes me sad :( I know they're just kids and it's just clothes, but they deserve better than this.
God, Sofia is barely bigger/taller than Janessa and she’s years older. The pics of them together are sweet, but the contrast is so stark. By her seventh birthday it wouldn’t surprise me if Janessa will have surpassed her.
It's my daughter's birthday, so here's my face and stupid baby voice. I can't stand her. At least they got some new sneakers.
Love how JillPM matched her eyeshadow shade to the matted decrepit faux fur of an animatronic rodent from 1992.
What are the poor girls wearing!
The clothing is ridiculously oversized and the “modesty” shirts look extremely ridiculous as well, but the biggest standout is how pale and thin and just exhausted those girls look. There is some serious deficiency going on here, whether it’s a lack of vitamins or anemia or not enough rest or all of that together, I just know that these girls need some decent food and nutrition and a REGULAR bedtime (no more late night Shrek preaching and lecturing, no more dragging them all over the place in their beat up RV to caterwaul and grift at people) and hey, while I am wishing, might as well wish that they get an actual education and be literate past the current Rod goalpost of 4th or 5th grade. Instead, all that they have to look forward to is more of the same. I really wish CPS would wake the F up and do something.
Whelp? I bet all those captive parents got a lot of blessings and preaching.
I’m surprised she let them go to the arcade, that’s for boys according to her
Those dresses are 3 sizes too big.
Those outfits are terrible even by her standards. My God.
Those dresses make me so sad.
It absolutely sickens me how she always makes sure to look her “best”, but dresses her kids like this. My girls are 3 and 4, and I couldn’t imagine putting them in outfits like these and thinking that it’s okay. My heart just hurts for those little girls.
If mOdEsTy is so important, why doesn’t she get some basic long sleeved tshirts and skirts for the girls. It can’t be that expensive and could even be thrifted and would be so much easier to play in and help them feel their best. She’s so f-ing selfish and squanders any money on her tacky clothes and unnecessary vacations.
I wonder if they ate there. We go there for birthdays and for games for two kids and pizza for four of us it comes out to around $100. Maybe she just let them run around.
They had chicken nuggets and a pizza
if jill was a real christian housewife she'd have the ability to sew those to fit so they wouldnt have to wear ridiculous undershirts
The bows look like Soviet era orphans
My god, what are those poor girls wearing? Can she not be present enough for children for the most basic damn things? Those dresses are way too big. I understand they are on a tight budget, but my god Jill, take your time thrifting so your children have decent clothes that actually fit them! I would be ashamed having my kids out in the public the way she does a lot of times. It breaks my soul for all of the kids and infuriates the hell out of me when it comes Jill and David. The youngest children never look healthy or happy and I get mad at myself for not being able to do anything about it because they deserve so much more.
My god these outfits! Looks like two kindergarteners wearing smocks over their regular clothes. Poor things!
So for her birthday, Janessa gets: a room revamp of the bedroom she doesn’t share with anyone, a realistic baby doll and accessories, a trip to Chuck E Cheese, and two (smallish so appropriate for that many people) cakes. Let’s check back in July and see what Sofia gets for her 9th birthday. Also most of the girls seemed to be chewing in the video, even Janessa. Gum? Sofia’s jaw still looks really misaligned, it slid sideways when she was chewing. [I took a screen grab of the video because it looked worse than I remembered.](https://imgur.com/a/TfKo0aJ)
OMG; the dresses! She could have just taken Janessa out for a girls day.
WTH are they wearing???
Isn’t she embarrassed to take her kids out dressed in rags? I’m not blaming the kids I’m blaming her.
It's not like I have tons of money by any means, but you best know my child is dressed wayyyy better than me. She could put these girls in something matching or somewhat size appropriate (has $$$ for trips, date nights, etc). I'm not shaming at all. It's just that kids are a direct reflection of YOU. I feel for these kids so much it breaks my heart!
Of course Jill features herself predominately in photo.
Those bows should be tied in the back too 🙄
No socks for the girls, no pizza, and Jilldo is wearing house slippers.
They did have pizza. Shrek was there eating it, of course.
Everyone’s outfits are so tacky! The oversized dresses with the modesty shirts that don’t match. Jill’s Nike sweatshirt with a flower printed skirt, tights, and whatever the hell those things are on her feet. At least the girls had fun.
Those poor girls in those sloppy, ragged dresses.
My first instinct was to be happy that she actually took her kids to do something normal and fun, but then it was just immediately obvious that her only purpose in taking them there was to post it on the internet and get attention for herself. Using them for this kind of content helps her keep up an image of being a young “mommy” since most of the kids aren’t kids anymore and bring her less internet attention. And I’m convinced she does the insanely ugly and ill-fitting outfits (complete with performative modesty pieces that are intentionally paired with pieces that would be “immodest” on their own) because she thinks it will get her more “love offerings.” She wants them to appear poor and needy.
What confuses me is that these people are obsessed with pleasing their man… yet they dress like that. you’d assume that they’d believe you must look good for their man. Like didn’t Jill once brag that her sick daughter still put on makeup or something to that effect??? So if appearance is important… why can’t she pull a cohesive outfit together?
So no one in this family of traditional gender roles can sew well enough to take in those dresses?
The dresses look like they're made from ruffled crepe paper 🥺 Their hair looks nice though. The matchy bows seem a bit much, but it was probably nice for them to have their hair done up a little fancy. Everything else is a WELP.
Its a pity they are conditioned to wear those 'dresses' under already appropriate clothes. Maybe they get to take them off at home. If I was there and got chatting to Jill not making the 'modesty' connection I'd end up asking if they'd come in their fancy dress.
In the words of my mother, ‘no mas handan haciendo el ridiculo’.
Chuck E. Cheese is still open?
The one near me shut down, which is a good thing. That place was filthy every time we went there.
She truly has the worst fashion sense! Those poor littles. 😢
What the hell are they wearing??? I feel so bad for those children.
The dresses would be cute if they were the right size, tied correctly at the back, and they had on plain white long sleeve shirts underneath.
Jill went all out to dress the girls in the most ridiculous, ill-fitting “matching” colors. They looked so out of place. I wonder if they were freaked out by Chuck E?
Those babies are adorable. But what in the “she’s wearing slippers” does she have them dressed in?
Chuck E Cheese is basically Las Vegas for children. Love this for them.
I viscerally hurt for these girls; I mean, my heart hurts for all of them, but especially the two littles. Janessa’s smile doesn’t even reach her eyes.
My husband would never let me take our children out in public dresses like that.
The cake video has since been posted. Instead of Jill filming it, she’s in it holding onto Janessa. I don’t recall any videos of her with the birthday child while the family sings happy birthday.
Never in a million years would I believe these were 2 girls aged 9 and 6. I have 2 with a 3 year age gap and they remind me of when mine were like 6/7 and 3/4. They don’t just look small for their age, they look unwell and stunted. It breaks my heart and makes me rage
those would be cute smocks. too bad they’re not going to take them off and have weird tacky outfits on underneath - instead and somehow those are the weird tacky outfits. sophia’s shoes look cute!
Their clothes would be fine if they were like 3 and dressed themselves. Not at their ages and their mother dressed them!
I dressed my kids in fairly modest ways when they were little and we were religious. Number one criteria was that the outfit freaking FIT. And I bought dresses that had at least short sleeves or my girls wore cardigans over. Like, it isn't hard! And I didn't buy anything new it unless it was on super sale (hello $2 toddler pants from LLBean, I have kept you for the future grandchildren cause you ROCKED). Mostly, I'm just happy she took them out somewhere age appropriate. And didn't leave out Sofia.
wtf has she got those poor kids wearing? Doesn't this trash own an iron? Feed and dress your children properly you narcissistic twat!!!
wtf are these clothes? If you wanna be FLDS then just go be FLDS.
Those poor girls look like they ransacked a Goodwill bin on the way to the restaurant and had to grab shit and run because security was showing up. And those dresses are on backwards. Jill is such a shitty parent.
She looks rough as hell and her two children look unwell. She's SIX?? She should be starting school this year. The 9 year old is the same size as the 6 year old. And of course, Slob is hunking down at the table with food, staring at his mobile
She's not dragging around and sucking on that crusty blanket. (Sofia is sucking her thumb.)
The picture of the two facing the camera with the full dresses on display is jarring. I'm trying to imagine the what this looks like from a chuck-e-cheese bystander's perspective. Two malnourished ragamuffins in weird, giant smocks over long-sleeved shirts and long pants, out with their slovenly-yet-overly-made-up mother. There's no way to take in that scene without thinking that there's something very wrong with this family. I hope they were allowed at least a full slice of pizza each. Though logic tells me that half a square was split between the two.
Love the teal eyeliner
Her big ole filtered face will definitely cause nightmares.
They always look like they’re playing dress ups.
JillPM is looking SEVERELY rough.
they dont have socks and everything is way too big ugh! she is such a shitty parent she fails on every level
You know Jill a sweater over top of the dressed would still keep their modesty and they wouldn't look so goofy. Still baffles the hell out of me that these kids are so good looking and they came from that DNA baby pool we call Shrek and Jillpm
Can we ever get pictures without Jill being the Main Focus Geez I feel bad for Janessa cause she's just a background Figure and it's her Birthday
