While Jim Bob and Michelle Dugar raised their 19 children to be fairly close, Jill Dugger has broken out of the pack. As one of the oldest Dagger sisters, her entire life was put on the small screen by the TLC show. But she is now coming forward and explaining why she is away from reality TV and opting for her own family that her parents would not allow.
Jill seems to be ignoring family events as well. As Dugger posted a video of the Dugger family’s autumn festival, and Jill doesn’t seem to be present.

Jim Bob and Mitchell are known for their huge gatherings at home, and we’re sure global epidemics won’t stop them in 2020. While many of their children and grandchildren were enjoying the Thanksgiving feast at their home, Jill and her husband, Derrick Dillard, left the celebration. And they explained their Thanksgiving plans in their own YouTube video.
“Derrick’s mom won’t really be able to travel to Oklahoma to see the family on Thanksgiving, so we’ll end them and keep our limits under our Arkansas guidelines,” Jill explained. She and Derrick then confirmed that they would host less than 10 people at their gathering to comply.
Given the extraordinary 2020 circumstances, we cannot forget that Jill and Derrick also ate other dugouts during the 2019 holiday season. As Derrick explained, Jill needs Jim Bob’s permission to move into a large family home.
Jesse Duger posted a video of his family’s fall celebration – and Jill wasn’t there
Thanksgiving is upon us, which means the holiday season is in full swing. Duggers had a different celebration – and it was their autumn festival. As she posted a video on her YouTube channel in which she and her husband Ben Sewald as well as their children Jim Bob and Michelle were going to the place. Ben Pie would judge the contest, and several stations were set up around the yard where children and adults alike could hang out by creating art.
As the camera explained to me, “Today, we are having a family autumn festival. “We’ve just arrived at the big building here, we’ll set up some tables outside. [We] Kite making, pie contest, wood splitting. It will be fun. “
Then Jesse shared that it was the idea of Josiah and Lure Ren Dougger – and it really came alive. Once the nightfie was over, the Duggers all rode around the farm property in a wagon pulled by a tractor to sing a Christmas carol.
Jessa and Ben, Lure Ren and Josiah, Joy-Anna Dugar and Stein Forsyth, Joseph and Kendra Dugar, and all of Dugar’s young children who still live with Jim Bob and Michelle, were all present. But Jill and Derrick were not.
Jill did not comment on Jesse’s Instagram post about the festival
Jill and Jesse are both frequent social media users, and it’s not uncommon to “like” and comment on each other’s posts. It doesn’t look like Jill had a conversation with Jesse’s post about the fall feast.
Some other members of the dress family and Jessa’s friends commented on the post, though.
“It was so much fun !!!” Anand-Anna commented. “Thanks for documenting this!”
“This was so much fun !!!” Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna Duggar, also commented, as she, Josh and their six children were present.
We’re not sure why Jill didn’t participate in the family fun, but it has something to do with what Derrick discovered in the past. If Derrick is right, he and Jill need Jim Bob’s permission to attend any family event at the big house. And Derrick has also hinted to Jim Bob that Jill doesn’t have a negative impact on younger people.
So, will Jill and Derrick see the Duggers for Christmas? We’re not sure – but we fully expect the couple to celebrate on their own.
