Nails and Mud

 What does a trip to the nail salon have in common with mud? Not much, but both are featured in Joy and Austin Forsyth's latest YouTube video. Joy and the kids join Jana Duggar and Johannah Duggar for manicures and pedicures. And later, the Forsyths meet up with Austin's parents and some friends for a mudding adventure.

  1. Gideon is 5 and still majorly sucking his thumb? Their dentist (if they have one) needs to have a talk with Joy and Gideon about what can happen if that keeps up. They should also talk to his pediatrician about any underlying reason why Gideon feels the need for that kind of physical comfort at his age.

    1. My son sucked his thumb until he was 12 or 13. And the dentist we saw never said a word to us about it.

    2. I am sure they take him to the dentist and a doctor. Every child is different. They go at their own pace. You must had been a perfect child that potty trained early and did everything on time.

    3. You obviously don't have children lol.

    4. A couple of years ago, Joy stated that Gideon's dentist told them that he already has some damage due to the thumb sucking. It did nothing for this little boy as his parents don't seem to care. The Sr Mr. Forsyth tried to coax him to quit this but wasn't received well by Joy and Austin. I agree that there is something else going on with this little boy that needs to be addressed. He also needs to go to a real school which would give him the attention he seems to need. Evie also is mimicking her brother with having her fingers in her teeth most of the time. Their speech also is behind.

    5. You are clearly not a Pediatrician or a parent. You think kids go by the book, ha, you got another thing coming.

      Delete
    6. It's not that serious. The majority of the time, there is no underlying reason. Most kids don't realize they do it. There isn't a whole lot a Pediatrician can do other than give the parents or guardian tips. 50+ percentage of kids will finally break the habit at 2nd to 3rd Grade.

    7. Who says they haven't discussed this with medical professionals? And why wouldn't they have a dentist? As adults, I'm certain they understand the ramifications of such behaviors in children. If not, after reading your post, I'm sure they will run right out and "fix" their child.

    8. The kids are adorable. Some children suck their thumb or fingers until they are much older than 5…why would anyone want to discipline a child and tell them to stop sucking their thumb..it’s their way of comforting themselves, I think it’s refreshing to see he does it in front of people and isn’t ashamed of it. I sucked my two fingers until I was 11, but because of family comments I did it in private. I probably could of stopped sooner if my brother hadn’t teased me.

    9. 7:36 this is partially untrue. They did do something about it and Joy took it seriously. Just because a child is having a hard time stopping, it doesn't mean Joy is doing anything wrong. You can take every tip from the book, but at the end of the day it's the child that has to stop. Forcing it will make them more nervous and do it more.

      Delete
    10. 2:16 and 7:36 are the only ones who get it and see the seriousness of this.

    11. It's a fact that thumb sucking for too long causes mouth and speech problems as well as skin problems on the sucked finger. Joy has a problem on her hands (well, on her son's hands to be specific) and seems oblivious to it. She usually learns things the hard way. Reactive parenting instead of proactive. She's going to have a hard time raising a big family unless she learns to stay ahead of things.

    12. Oh please! You can't be seriously OP. You have a few children and let's see how well they listen to you and the pediatrician lol. You sound like you missed your nap.

    13. An orthodontist can fix a thumbsucker’s buck teeth for about $5,000 when the kid is about 12. One house-flip will pay for all 3 kids.

      Delete
    14. Really, 7:36? You think school actually care about kids? Hahaha!! Thumb sucking doesn't seem as bad as teachers telling them they're the wrong gender!

      Delete
    15. @7:28 Wait til I tell my public school teaching friend that she's not teaching properly, because she's never told any kid that.

      Delete
    16. It's rare for that too mess up your teeth otherwise orthodontists will advise against all baby bottles and pacifiers.

      Delete
    17. 3:08- I know of some teachers who are pushing a narrative, rather than teaching what should be taught. If your friend is teaching spelling, reading, cursive, telling time using a face clock (not digital) great!

  3. Mudding? Frankly, I think these people need to grow up and do something more productive.

    1. I have to question why they felt it necessary to strap that young baby into the open ATV and take him along. If they were with Austin's father, his mother could have babysat. What they did was dangerous not only to themselves but especially to the kids.

      Delete
    2. Bogging (mudding) is so much fun for old and young alike.

      Delete
    3. @2:39 its called family time and people need more of that. These new generation of parents rely on others to raise their children.

      Delete
    4. Little Gideon looked terrified riding in that silly vehicle. Not a thing for small children. They are wreckless like most of the rest of their families.

      Delete
    5. 3:20 Isn't the baby a bit young to be expected to experience that kind of fun?

      Delete
    6. Look, they're making memories

      Delete
    7. @8:36 Leaving your babies or older kids with their grandmother while you do something dangerous in an open-sided vehicle is not "relying on others to raise your children."

      Delete
    8. @12:04 it wasn't like how you are trying to make it out to be. Wow.

      Delete
    9. It's not like they was racing and doing dangerous stunts 12:04. But a hard fact to swallow is that parents these days don't want to do anything with their kids.

  4. Always love a good pedicure and feet soak!

    1. Eww, all I can do is think of the bacteria that might be lurking in that foot tub. There's not enough bleach in the world that would allow me to put my feet in there after someone else's feet had been in it.

      Delete
    2. @2:19 well that's you. A good nail salon will clean those tubs thoroughly. It's usually more than bleach though.

      Delete
    3. Do you use public swimming pools?

      Delete
    4. Yes, particularly some Duggar females who don't seem to wash their feet on any normal basis. Remember how filthy Joy's feet were in that video of her finding a pair of shoes to wear for a "date" with Austin? The bottoms of her feet were black with filth.

      Delete
    5. My friend got toenail and fingernail fungus at a nail salon.

      Delete
    6. 2:19. You must not have much experience with pedicures. Rewatch the video and you will see there is a plastic sleeve covering the foot tub. Water is filled in these individual coverings so the person’s feet are the only ones that are soaking in this fresh water. After each pedicure the water is drained, old cover thrown away, tub washed and new individual cover put on. Most states require these safety precautions and the board of health makes regular visits to nail salons to make sure all state regulations are being followed.

      Delete
    7. 8:10 that means they didn't clean and do things properly😬

      Delete
    8. Plastic liners can have rips. The water spout is probably not cleaned enough (like ice makers in restaurants are always moldy and gross). That guy had no gloves on while handling the feet. No thanks!

      Delete
    9. 5:49 they usually don't wear gloves. That's because they clean their hands. You need to look on how a nail salon is run.

      Delete
    10. Doctors, Nurses and Pediatricians don't wear gloves either unless they are giving you a vaccine.

      Delete
    11. @7:51 Not always the case. But at least they're trained on infection control, better than a nail salon.

      Delete
    12. 11:22 Pedicure tub plastic linings are often not thrown away. Go around back some of the nail salons, and you'll see a clothesline attached to the building, near the dumpster, and on it are hanging plastic tub linings. Yup!

      Delete
    13. You don't know how well the salon was that Joy went too. So stop it. She has the right to do her nails if she wants.

      Delete
    14. 3:41 the plastic lining is always changed. Unless you work at a bad salon.

    1. Wow. I have seen non-rich people do this with this with their child. Calm down and go get some help. You obviously was neglected.

    2. They should buy a bottle of nail polish at the dollar store and call it a day. Rich or not.
