There is a growing concern among the viewership over this, seemingly, persistent issues inside the Duggars' oversized household. And, it looks like the reported fall out between the two sisters will continue to keep going on and on, pretty much like the size of this beloved American family on TLC channel's documentary cum reality TV show "19 Kids And Counting."
According to an article by OK Magazine back in December 2014, the rift between Jessa and Jill has spilled over onto the issues of their real estate properties. The report hinted that Jessa might be envious of the bigger and fancier home of her sister, as compared to her humble two-bedroom, one-bath house.
After tying the knot in June, Jill and her husband Derick Dillard moved in to their new $1.5 million mansion, courtesy of father Jim Bob Duggar. The patriarch of this Christian version of the Kardashian family is into the real estate business, and he acquired the 4,000 square foot estate in 2012.
The gorgeous home sits comfortably on a knoll, overlooking a huge driveway and a sprawling wide lawn. It is two stories-high and has four beds.
Shorty, thereafter, Jessa and Ben Seewald settled in their smaller house after their November wedding ceremony. The home was a hand-me-down from her older brother Josh Duggar and wife Anna.
A source told OK that Jessa won't be in a huff as she's already used to the fact that Jill has always been the favored one. "She's used to Jill getting pampered... It doesn't faze her at this point", the source said.
Previous reports cited that the issue between the two siblings stems from the fact that Jill's wedding came first and has gotten more attention. This did not sit well with Jessa because she was dating her then boyfriend Ben six months earlier than Jill and Derick. And, the issue was compounded when Jill got pregnant ahead of Jessa.
Just a few days ago, and not even a year into the marriage of Jill and Derick, the couple was happy to announce that they have a new addition to the family with the birth of their first child, baby Israel David, on April 6th.
People.com reports that the couple who began the "courting", in contrast to the usual dating process, back in November of 2013, welcomed the bouncing newborn (9 lbs. and 10 oz.) at 11:49 p.m. on a Monday evening.
The TLC broadcasts "19 Kids And Counting" every Tuesdays at 9pm, Eastern. The birth of baby Israel will be shown in a two-hour May 5th episode in time for the upcoming Mother's Day celebration.
