I have been a fan of this show since it began, but is anyone else growing weary of the over-the-top conspicuous consumption that seems to be a focus now?
These absurdly extravagant parties, Christmas trees/decorations, mega toys and room redecorating seem to be answering a perfectionist need in Jennifer more than being for the benefit and enjoyment of the kids.
I get it that starting a family later than most people is something they want to now enjoy to the hilt, but come back down to earth.
They go to the store to get party stuff and end up coming home with an armload of toys for Zoe who then promptly IGNORED them!
Nancy what extra toys did Jen buy for Zoey?? Jen let Zoey ride a rocking horse at the store but they didn't come home with it. All I saw Jen buy was the small stuffed animals she wanted for party favors and the only toy Zoey ignored was the Teddy from Will.
PS. Why don't you go visit the SVU board? There's a rumor over there that Brian Cassidy was Gay!!

Boy you guys hit it right on!!! Will and Zoey are both becoming very SPIOLED. I agree they buy them anything they want. Bill even stated that whatever it takes to make his little girl SMILE. His little girl is turning into a little monster even Grandpa is noticing it and no one does anything about her little tantrums. Sorry folks those kids need some dissapline bad. Jen and Bill let both kids walk all over them, it's like the roles are reversed - kids have all the authority. I get tired of Jen talking to the kids like they are 30 years old. She's the adult she should be telling them what to do not the other way around.
omg I couldnt agree more, zoey has turNed back into a little demon, when jen closed the gate to the stairs so zoey couldnt go up, zoey swatted jen's backside with some folder or something she was holding, jen didnt put her in time out or anything, all she did was say ZOEY KLEIN.
Why is it that everyone is ganging up on Zoey, WHEN WILL HAS BEEN A MONSTER, FROM THE WORD GO!!! I don't recall anyone on these social media sites, bash the diaper wearing and, will eat anything, when he took it upon himself, to take goldfish snacks from the pantry. He not only took them but, he also opened them after being told not to. Zoey sees how he gets away with murder, so she's learning from his bad behind!
As for that party, Zoey deserved it and, I've heard NO COMPLAINTS about either one of Willie's parties and, for once this was for and about her and not Willie!!!!
No one is "ganging up, on anyone least of all Zoey.

Is that anyway to talk about a child? Even one you don't like?? Stop screaming like a Banshee. Ok ...Will took some food out of the pantry without asking. Last I heard taking food without asking is not a Capitol crime. I think every child has probably done it once or twice.
Zoey sees how he gets away with murder, so she's learning from his bad behind!
Will, as far as I know hasn't murdered anyone. He's a small child with food issues that will most likely be addressed by his parents in due time.
As for that party, Zoey deserved it and, I've heard NO COMPLAINTS about either one of Willie's parties and, for once this was for and about her and not Willie!!!!
No one ever said Will didn't deserve a party. Some posters feel that the parties in general are being overdone for BOTH of them.
Why do you feel it's necessary to come onto this board and start screeching about what a hateful brat Will is? If he bothers you that much why not stop watching the show? I also notice that this is the only board you post on? Is this the only show you watch?

How would you know Will eats like a horse? Last episode Will had one yogurt pop. That's not eating like a horse.
They had to get a regular car so he can get in and out of it himself because he is too damn heavy. NOBODY can pick up including Bill anymore. He's too big.
How do you know that is why they bought a "regular car"? Bill can't pick Will up because he had back surgery.

IIRC on the page before this one, someone referred to Zoey turning BACK into a monster! Now is that any way to talk about A CHILD, TO YOU? Its about time Zoey receives some extra special attention on their part because, Will hasn't always been on the receiving end, when it comes to their attention and, this is exactly how he wants it. But he is not their only child and, the sooner he knows this and face it, the better.
I can't believe I'm responding to you but I guess you never passed out trick or treat candy. I've seen many a kid ranging in ages grab more than one piece.
Oh but you'll come back with a witty comeback that when you pass out candy only one is taken because kids in your neighborhood blah blah blah were raised better.
As you well know, she's the consummate expert on all things, but especially so on child rearing. Wish I'd borne some of those Stepford kids they produce in WA - those teenage years with my boys sure would have been a lot less stressful.
Good parents don't let their 15 year old son sexually molest five underage girls multiple times and grabbing candy isn't a crime like Josh Duggar did and kids are going to grab candy even if they have good parents its not end of the world it Halloween were kids get candy and get extra candy
You never hand out candy to very many kids Halloween do you? there are children who grab more Halloween candy than Will and sad to see a grown woman pick on a 5 year old child and also pathetic the you who don't have any children pick on Will and Zoey
Bet that went over well that night in bed with his wife. I smell divorce coming.
I wonder how many couples get divorced over the wife throwing too many children's parties?? Let me take a wild guess Nancy.. You've never been married right?? reply share
Funny how someone who has NEVER even been in a relationship has so much wisdom to impart, huh? She sure knows lots about lots of stuff - particularly how other people should raise their kids.
My point exactly - you are the parent if your child needs to put their shoes on they need to mind and put their shows on. Mom and dad shouldn't have to beg their kids to do anything.

No they shouldn't. They ASK their kids if they want a time out! WRONG. you don't ask. You tell. NEVER ask a child something that you don't want a "no" from. Jen and Bill need parenting classes badly.
Jim Bob and Michelle need parenting classes more than Jen and Bill because their son Josh is a child molester who sexually abused his four underage sisters for years with Jim Bob and Michelle knowing what Josh was doing to his sisters and that Jim Bob and Michelle ignore the older girls when they told their parents what was going on and that Michelle abused her children when they're babies by blanket training them.

It's a message board, folks, people should be allowed to express differing opinions without trading insults. Calm down, hydrate...and eat some fruit.
I had not heard any of this stuff about the Duggars but I have not really followed them or their show, but if it is true -- what a shame.
A Southern friend told me that her large family became aware that a brother-in-law was behaving inappropriately with some of his teenage nieces. So at the end of a family dinner, her oldest brother who is the head of the family said that they had become aware "that there is a danger in this family." He then went on to say that if that behavior was ever repeated, the person who was guilty of it would be buried in the corn field that could be seen from the house.
You know a lot of these people start BS with those, who are not kissing the butts of these people and, it's not right for you expect everyone else to do the same. This couple should expect to receive some feedback, that's not going to always be favorable to them. They are also not the best parents in the world either. You people have put them up where they don't belong! They are human beings like the rest of us but, they are not SUPERHUMAN.
You should be ashamed of yourself and, you should be asking a God to forgive you for making such a nasty comment, to someone like that. That wasn't even called for and you know it! SMDH
Cardianl42 has done the same to posters here telling them their husbands are sexually abusing their children and cardinal42 has also told poster they deserved to be aborted and that posters parents should be shot for giving birth to them.
cardinal42 isn't innocent like you thinks she is, and that she on her fourth account and that she telling posters to kill themselves.

There is no hiding of the companies/hotels, etc. that provide services to the Arnolds. Even listed at the end in the credits. Freebies galore...nice for the Arnolds.
NegativeNancy, you DO accept freebies, you live off of the government. When was the last time you worked for anything. You volunteer at a hospital. Stop lying!!!
These shows are like the performers are trained monkeys. The handlers keep throwing things for them to play with, into their cage, and the audience is supposed to find all that cunning and cute.
Why go to a zoo and just look at the monkeys sitting in their cage when you can give them toys and tires and such, to make it more entertaining?
If a camera was trained on this crew just living mundane lives like every other peon, no one would watch. Throw them an extravagant party, cart them around to all kinds of interesting places, and the audience will sit there with smiles a yard wide. Why, I don't know, but some do love watching the monkeys.
