Fans are ganging up on Jill Duggar after she shared photos of a seemingly "homophobic" book. The former Counting On star is teaching her sons about sex, even though they're basically still babies, and the parenting police are not having it. "Want to teach your kids about the birds and the bees before someone else does, but you don't know where to start?" she captioned the snap. "Someone in our small group told us about these books (4 book set) and we love them!" Watch the video above to find out what people are saying. The description for The Story of Me reads: "It's never too early to begin giving your child a practical understanding of his or her unique, beautiful body and why God designed it to be exactly the way it is." The parts that really seemed to rub people the wrong way, though, were, "Why God wants each...

Congrats are in order for Derick Dillard! The former Counting On star was said to be attending The School of Law at the University of Arkansas this fall — and now we have confirmation: He's in the campus directory! According to the anti-Duggar Facebook page, Duggar Family News: Life Is Not All Pickles and Hairspray, "Derick amazingly did get accepted to law school," the admin wrote. "He starts on Monday. Please Don't email him and feed his persecution complex. Thanks to my insider source for the info. I still can't believe it. Lol!" Or please do email him because it would be hilarious. Credit: University of Arkansas Previously, the page revealed that the father-of-two was "giving up missioning, whatever he did at Cross Church, and God, to attend a secular law school."

Family drama! A new report claims Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar were so fed up with their son-in-law, Derick Dillard, they had to confront him. "Everything that Derick has said has caused the family bad press," a source told Radar Online. In fact, the entire family is "pissed off" at the father-of-two because they don't like "what he says and how he says it." Icymi, the former Counting On star was fired from TLC after sharing his unwarranted opinion on I Am Jazz star, Jazz Jennings. Last August, he tweeted, "What an oxymoron... a 'reality' show which follows a non-reality," before adding, "'Transgender' is a myth. Gender is not fluid; it's ordained by God." Unfortunately, Jill Duggar's husband didn't stop there. He later claimed that he harbored no ill will toward Jazz — even though he referred to her using the wrong pronoun. "I want to be clear. I have nothing against him.

Wait a sec — are Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard still married? The former Counting On stars have had a stressful few months, to say the least, and now Jill is hinting that they may be on the rocks. The mother-of-two took to Instagram Stories on Thursday, July 26 to reveal she's "loving" a book titled, Letters to My Daughter: The Art of Being a Wife. According to Amazon, the piece explores the ups and downs of relationships and discourages divorce. "Radio personality and bestselling author Barbara Rainey knows firsthand the challenges newly married couples face," the descriptions reads. "Dismayed by Hollywood depictions of marriage and the seemingly easy solution of divorce, she sees a desperate need for a voice of experience, a mentor who has been there and understands — and can encourage, coach, and care." Hmm... Credit: Instagram Of course, there are plenty of reasons the 27-year-old could (and should) be angry with her husband.

Grab your backpacks and bagged lunches because Derick Dillard is going back to school! The former Counting On star — who was fired for his transphobic comments on Jazz Jennings in November — is reportedly hitting the books after nearly a year of being unemployed. A source close to the disgraced dad recently revealed he's attending the School of Ministry at Cross Church in Fayetteville, Ar — the same church that his in-laws, Jim Bob and Michelle, go to. "Derick does work with the college ministry. He's not an employee though," the source dished to Radar Online. "He helps with whatever's needed." They added that Jill also helps, but it doesn't seem like she has much say in the matter. "She's his wife, so Jill's ministry is pretty much whatever Derick's ministry is." Recently, Jill took to Instagram to share a snap with her boys, Israel, 3, and Samuel, 11 months, but Derick was noticeably absent.

The pants-wearing, tattoo-loving, shoulder-showing, nose pierced child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar once confessed to the ultimate sin: Stealing.

Recently, the mother-of-two has gotten herself into hot water — and no, not because she's been rebelling. Although we're sure Jb isn't too pleased about that! Earlier this month, Jill was slammed for showing off her messy home. The former Counting On star gave followers an inside look at her living room in a post with her oldest son, Israel — and it was a disaster. "A good mom's house looks like you teach them to clean up when they are done. It isn't that hard actually. I have taught many kids over the years, when you are done you put it away,...
