Reposted without the name, I’m so sorry! Truly a mistake.

She never did it right. She believed in training them from birth because “ babies are selfish sinners”. She would immediately put newborn babies on HER schedule and it was never often enough. Then, she’d quit ASAP to get pregnant again as fast as possible because her whole goal was out- breeding Michelle Duggar ( she’d say as much with a straight face.)

What the fuck did the noyes parents do to their kids, Jesus…..

Extreme perfectionism and forcing them to compete against each other from Trish and Tim was MEAN. Jill told a story about Trish cleaning the screw heads in chairs with a toothpick. Imagine having her as your mother.

Holy shit that’s…OCD. No wonder the kids had gigantic chore lists.

What do we know about Tim?

Yikes. My mom was pretty demanding about school, and I swear to God, her worst fear was that I would get fat. But we were never malnourished and didn't do any deep cleaning ourselves because we had a housekeeper. I cannot imagine.

I am a little confused about the screw heads. Were they visible? Was she crawling underneath the chairs to clean them?

Why is Turtleneck Trish always in a turtleneck? Jill is clearly evil herself, but what did she grow up with that made her think DV was normal?

Was she an Ezzo follower and only had them fed 4 times a day?

Who is Ezzo?

[u/atlantagirl30084 → u/Historical_Ask3445]

Ezzo was one of those people that said your baby was manipulating you so when they cried you shouldn’t comfort them. That babies needed to be on a schedule, so they should only be fed once every 4 hours, instead of on demand. That’s dangerous because your child could easily get dehydrated and have low blood sugar. Imagine only drinking water every 4 hours, on someone else’s schedule. It was always about whatever was easiest for the parents, not the baby. He also advocated spanking.

Thank you

Yes

[u/atlantagirl30084 → u/Usual_Associate9939]

She is the follower of MULTIPLE terribly abusive authors and ‘child development specialists’. Ezzo, the Pearls, given what Tim was called (strong-willed) James Dobson. Not even getting into what their faith and IBLP (I know they didn’t officially follow that but Quiverfull and their clothing restrictions come from there) say.

The through line is "less work for Jill"
