It’s hard to keep up with everything going on in the world of the Duggars. And Jill Duggar is getting more attention than ever before thanks to her husband, Derick Dillard. Jill and Derick are no longer featured on Counting On, and fans have speculated that Jill had a severe falling out with her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle. Thanks to Derick spilling the tea on the Duggars via Instagram, we know more than ever before.

It seems all the drama and chaos might be wearing on Jill, too. She posted an Instagram Story showing a new skincare product she’s using, and some of her followers think she looks like she’s aging fast. Here’s what Jill posted and what her followers are saying.

Jill Duggar had a controversial start to her 2020

It’s already been a wild year for Jill. Since we rarely see her, Derick, or her kids, Samuel and Israel, on Counting On, many wonder what’s really going on with their relationship with the other Duggars. And Derick took to his Instagram at the end of 2019 to tell his side of the story.

A fan took to Derick’s Instagram to ask if he ever sees the Duggars anymore. To that, Derick answered that he does but “it’s just harder now because we’re not allowed at the house when JB isn’t there.” This, of course, sparked more conversation regarding the rules at the Duggar family home. And Derick claimed he and Jill need express permission to go to Jill’s parents’ house.

“Jill even had to ask JB permission to go over to the house to help her sister when she was in labor because her sister wanted her help, but Jill couldn’t provide the assistance until we got it cleared with JB,” Derick claimed.

Not only that, but Derick added that TLC pressured him and Jill into filming Counting On when they didn’t want to.

There’s evidence that Jill feels overwhelmed by her kids

This sort of attention is undoubtedly stressful for Jill. She hasn’t talked about the conversation on her own social media, but she did start up a P.O. box for fans to send mail to. And since she’s also taking care of her sons who are both under 6 years old, Jill is certainly tired — and she’s even mentioned the stress of taking care of her sons on social media.

“Today was another loooong day and the boys were a little extra,” Jill captioned her candid Instagram post on Dec. 17, 2019. “I bawled when my hubby walked in the door with these and just hugged me and reassured me. He’s the best…just sayin’!”

In another Instagram Story Jill posted in December, she talked about how she had to “cram down some lunch” while her sons napped “once I’ve made sure they’re actually asleep and not just pretending and waiting for the opportune time to sneak out haha.”

Could the stress of her parents and her sons be getting to Jill? On Feb. 18, she posted to her Instagram Story about how she’s changing up her skincare routine to freshen up.

“I didn’t have major skin issues, but I did see lots of amazing testimonies which made me wanna try it,” Jill said on her Story about Rodan + Fields products. “While I haven’t seen dramatic results … I have noticed my skin is a lot clearer & little aging spots are fading!” Jill then added a few before and after photos of her skin with no makeup on.

“She looks very exhausted and bad in both of the pics, how can she think that’s an actual improved after pic?” one Reddit user noted.

“All the Duggar kids seem to age really fast,” another wrote. “I think trauma ages people and the Duggar kids have lived very traumatic lives.”

“She only has two kids (which really isn’t a lot for her age by anyone’s standards) but she looks soooo worn down,” yet another added.

As long as Jill’s happy with her looks, that’s all that matters. But the more candid content she puts on the ‘gram, the more backlash she’s likely to get in the future.
