Happy Birthday Zach
ReplyDeleteIt is also Jedidiah and Jeremiah Duggar's 21st birthday today.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Zach 🎉. Also wanted to wish Gil a early Happy Birthday. 🎂
ReplyDeleteThis habit of “decorating” small children with bows and hair gel is interesting. The kids themselves don’t care. Bradley wouldn’t even know what gel was if his mother didn’t use it on him.I wonder what the point is.
ReplyDeleteThe point is to look good. Never to early to teach self-respect, which does involve proper grooming.
DeleteWhy are you so obsessed with posting about the parents “decorating” their kids. Little kids couldn’t care less about fashion or hygiene, so it’s their parents JOB to take care of that. It’s completely normal. If the parents let their kids walk around looking unkept, I could understand you posting about that, but you’re complaining because they makes sure their kids look nice? It’s so weird, and you need to stop.
DeleteWhy are you making a big deal about it? It really isn't. We live in a world full of variety, from God's vast and varied nature to the huge variety of personalities, cultures, styles, and tastes in people. Part of living in a free society is that we have the liberty to wear our hair or dress our kids however we choose. I don't have to dress my kids like their kids or your kids. I don't have to wear my hair like you or anyone else. It's great, really.
DeleteIf the kids don't care, why do you?
DeleteI wonder if they’d know what clothes are? Maybe they shouldn’t clothe them.
DeleteI wonder if they know what healthy food is? Maybe they should just give them candy.
Yet another pathetic comment from some one that just wants to complain about this family. LEAVE!!!
Small kids don’t need this stuff to look good! They are beautiful just the way they are. And bows and gel have nothing to do wirh hygiene
DeleteResponse to 7:04 PM. MO- I don't think it's very nice to tell someone to "leave" a sight because they have an opinion that is different from yours. I find that all the comments are interesting, even if I don't agree with the person. And telling them not to post, well that's just nasty. :o(
Delete2:42, no, they don't have to have bows or hair gel to look good. I agree. But it's also fun, harmless, and legal for a parent to use them with their child.
DeleteThis habit of commenting on how families groom their children or 'decorate' them is interesting. The readers don't care whether you comment or not. Some posters wouldn't know whether a comment is justified or not. I wonder what the point of negative commenting is. Really.
DeleteI wonder what the point is of commenting in a derogatory fashion, repeatedly. Some wouldn't know a compliment from a putdown. I find the need to comment negatively is interesting.
DeleteBradley’s hair is fixed like his dad’s. There isn’t anything wrong with that! I would rather see a child with hair gel than one who has greasy hair from a lack of cleaning. Hair bows are pretty. Again it is better to see kids who look well taken care of... clean and healthy!
Delete@9:23- You’re having to make quite a stretch to find fault with this family. Why does it concern you how other people choose to dress their kids or style their hair? You must be incredibly bored.
DeleteHappy Birthday Zach! Hope you had yummy food and a delicious cake.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Zach
ReplyDeleteWishing him a super exciting birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought comments that were insulting or in poor taste weren't allowed, but I've seen multiple comments like that lately. Just be kind. It truly isn't that hard. Remember everyone has feelings.
ReplyDeleteI agree with December 31st, 2019 at the 11:02pm. It’s like she said. Be kind, don’t try to hurt or ruin anybody’s feelings! You don’t know what they’re going through. There are why too may bullies in the world. And unfortunately I think it’s starting to carry onto forums like this.
DeleteIs Whitney still working as a real estate agent or was that just for the show?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm sure they just made her a real estate agent for the show. 🙄
DeleteI truly think the world of this family. I hate seeing negative comments being made, causing others to jump in and defend the members of the Bates family. They are a kind, loving family that lives their lives in a Godly manner. I think they set a wonderful example for parents and children. I say thank you, Gil & Kelly Jo & all your children and the rest of your extended family. Your show has meant a lot to me, especially this past year!! We live in western Tennessee, and I keep a close eye out when we are traveling through your area in hopes that I might meet a member of your family in person.
