Times Jill Duggar Dillard's Parenting Caused A Stir

As busy moms, the married Duggar daughters don't always have the time or energy to keep their homes spotless. (Plus, they don't have 18 siblings on hand to help them, as they did growing up.) As a result, some of the photos and videos they share on social media reveal cluttered floors, clogged toilets, and even piles of used diapers. The sisters shrug it off as being a more realistic part of life than their TV show offered or as an example of how they prioritize quality time with the kids over housework.

Still, it doesn't keep followers from being skeeved on occasion, as happened when Jill posted this shot of her young "breakfast helper." One commenter wailed, "Buttocks and feet on the kitchen counter? Why?" Another agreed, saying, "Nope, get him down now, too dangerous!"

Those in Jill's corner rolled their eyes at the critics, saying the counter could easily be disinfected afterward. An experienced mother added that it's important for children to take small risks. "It's okay to let your kids learn to trust themselves, and even fall from a distance that isn't going to result in death or broken bones," she explained. "You want them to learn how to balance, stop a fall, and fall safely."
