By the looks of her social media posts, the Dillards are a happy and well-adjusted bunch.
Photos of her three sons figure prominently as well.
But in the last couple of years, posts featuring her children have shown them only from the rear.
The choice has left lots of fans disappointed they can’t see the boys' cute grins anymore.
One post from July 2023 sparked an entire debate on the subject.
“[Y]‘all act like you’re the Kardashians,” went one comment.
Another said, “Just don’t show them at all.
More like super dangerous.
“This is irresponsible and disturbing.”
Responses to the post on theDillard family websitewere considerably kinder.
“It’s sad how restricted children are these days.”
“Congratulating you on making family decisions regarding school!”
“I thought he was thriving in public school,” mused one.
“Why take him out?”
Another hoped the Dillards had indeed removed him from “that indoctrination hell.”
Just bc a child is doing school work at home doesn’t mean homeschooling necessarily.”
The photo shesharedshows the preschooler holding up an ice cream sundae, complete with whipped cream and cookie toppings.
Some followers thought the gesture was sweet literally!
and said they, too, offer ice cream and pizza runs as a reward for good report cards.
Others were soured on the idea.
“I would suggest maybe sticker rewards,” she said.
Another echoed, “I love any motivators other than food!
Kids helping cook is great, but kids on the counter?
One commenter wailed, “Buttocks and feet on the kitchen counter?
Another agreed, saying, “Nope, get him down now, too dangerous!”
An experienced mother added that it’s important for children to take small risks.
“You want them to learn how to balance, stop a fall, and fall safely.”
Does Jill still play the ‘obedience game’?
Jill explained it was a game her mother used to play with her and her 18 siblings.
Arepostof her Insta Story drew mixed reactions.
Others, however, were horrified.
“This ‘obedience’ training is outrageous!!”
“You are not raising dogs, these are children.”
