Jill Dillard’s Birthday: Is the Duggar Family Really Involved or Just Ignoring Her?
Counting On fans are aware of the ongoing conflict between Jill Dillard and the rest of the Duggar family. Despite them not being very close to each other now, her family still made an effort to celebrate her on her birthday this year.
It’s unclear if Jill and the rest of the family got together to celebrate her birthday or if they just posted on social media. She did document a little get-together with her cousin Amy King. Amy and her mom Deanna Duggar went thrift-shopping with Jill on her birthday. This is something Amy, Deanna, and Jill do often.
Duggar family wishes Jill Dillard a happy birthday
Though they didn’t share a post on their main Instagram page, the family did share a couple of posts on their stories. They shared a snap of Jill and Derick. On the photo, they wrote, “Happy birthday, Jill!! We love you so much!”
They also shared a baby picture of Jill and used a “birthday girl” crown GIF.
The family hasn’t disclosed who runs the Instagram account. It could be Michelle Duggar, or it could be one of the kids who lives at the home. It was previously believed that Jana Duggar posted on the family’s behalf.
Katie Joy of Without a Crystal Ball calls this “Duggar damage control.” It’s possible the family is trying to make it seem like everything is okay between themselves and Jill. This post comes shortly after Josh Duggar’s arrest for the possession of child sexual abuse material too.
Siblings chime in to wish her a happy birthday
In the comments section of Jill’s birthday post, Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth writes, “Happy Birthday, Jillo! I love you!!❤️” Jinger Duggar Vuolo adds, “Happy Birthday, Jill! Love you so much! 💕”
It doesn’t look like any of Jill’s other siblings publicly celebrated her, but it’s possible that she got some private messages or texts from them on her big day.
In addition to the Duggars wishing her a happy birthday, Derick shared a special post dedicated to his wife. Amy shared a birthday post on her stories too. Plenty of fans chimed in to send sweet words to Jill on her birthday.
