DIRTY WORK
Last month, sitting at a desk while he did schoolwork at home.
His desk was placed behind a potted tree in the family room as toys were strewn across the floor.
Not only did she face criticism because her son looked "so sad and lonely," but fans called her living space "messy."
One said at the time: "Everyone knows kids are messy. But JFC tidy up a bit before posting on Instagram. I would be mortified if anyone thought I lived in a pigsty."
Another wrote: "I will never understand why she doesn’t throw all that detritus and mess into a damn shopping bag and move it out of the shot before posting to hundreds of thousands of followers."
CRAMMED CAR
Not long after, the reality star was blasted when they uncovered an old scene from the TLC show of her riding in the car with her sister Jana, 32.
One follower screenshotted and reshared the moment on , where the sisters sat buckled in and chatting in Jessa's car as she drove.
They concentrated on the massive overflow of the mess that was visible between the two girls and flooding from the backseat.
The center console was packed with clothing, plastic bags, purses, paper, trash, and towels.
The junk overflowed all the way into both the second and third rows of the vehicle, taking over the entire car.
One commenter posted, "Honestly, I think the whole family is just desensitized to filth and mess. Every time you see a 'candid' shot of their spaces they’re always so so dirty!
"I think they’ve just accepted that 'that’s how things are when you have kids, oh well!' and are used to it."
JESSA FIRES BACK
The controversy over her messy lifestyle has ragged for years, and in 2017, the mother of four fired back, sharing a series of snaps of her extremely messy home, including a pile of laundry, a mountain of dirty diapers, stains on her bed sheets, and marker and finger prints on mirrors.
She captioned the : "This is real life, 'yall.
"Swipe left to see more pics of my house today in all its shining glory."
Jessa revealed that fans were looking at "6+ loads of laundry," a "side table that probably hasn't been dusted" in months, "dried spit up" on the bed, "Handprints on the mirror," and other such messes.
She ended her note with a little bit of positivity for anyone else who may be living this way, writing: "There's a never ending to-do list. Some of these tasks have been accomplished today, others haven't."
Then the busy mom went on the defensive: "Some of y'all may be thinking, 'C'mon now, it only takes a few min to dust or wipe down a mirror...' (but) the same is true of the needs of the little people in our lives.
"I might think 'I don't have time right now' but it only takes a few min... here and there. A few mins here, spent cuddling a fussy baby. A few mins there, singing lullabies as a toddler drifts off to sleep. 5 mins here, to read a book. 10 min there, engaging in imaginative play.
