Jessa Duggar slammed by fans for letting sons Spurgeon, 4, and Henry, 3, use huge knife while cooking
COUNTING On’s Jessa Duggar recruited her young sons to help make a Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup recipe, but fans were not happy with the job she gave them.
Spurgeon, 4, and Henry, 3, were given a large knife to chop ingredients with while Jessa recorded them from across the room, making her followers “so nervous” and “scared.”
Though many found it super cute to see the brothers working together on this recipe with their mom, they couldn’t get past the giant blade the the kids were wielding in the video , 27, shared.
It all started off safely enough with the boys washing the celery in the sink, but then they took it over to the cutting board and Spurgeon started chopping.
Then, it was Henry’s turn, and Jessa even said he was “new to the skill,” and that was clear for followers to see as he had “an improper cutting technique” and was holding the blade with his two hands while using it.
One Reddit user commented, “Big yikes,” while another said it made them “nervous.”
Others pointed out that they “don’t believe standing across the countertop while taking photos of young kids using an improper cutting technique is considered safely monitoring.”
Jessa, who also shares 11-month-old daughter Ivy with husband Ben Seewald, is only heard in the background just cheering on her kids, just like she did a few weeks ago when , which also upset fans.
The comments directly on the star’s Instagram video were very much the same, with more people “terrified” of seeing the young children with the big knife.
Another Reddit user said: “Jessa is not an overly cautious parent and neither are her siblings, so not shocked.”
This comment is likely referring to some of the Duggar siblings being slammed recently for “ditching all precautions,” including her sister Jinger, who was called out for amid the coronavirus pandemic.
One user on Reddit wrote: “Sorry, but no. People need to stay home. If there are other people at the park and you can’t avoid them, go home.”
Another criticized the family and said: “They weren’t social distancing, in the videos they are seen side-by-side and brushing up against large groups of people.”
