JILL Duggar shared adorable photos of her sons spending time with their paternal grandmother as her battle rages on against her parents Jim Bob and Michelle.
The Counting On star has consistently defied her father’s strict rules over the past several years, causing strain on their family unit.
Jill, 30, took to her Instagram stories on Monday to share sweet photos of her sons spending quality time with her husband Derick‘s mother.
The reality star snapped pictures of her mother-in-law as they enjoyed fall activities to embrace the coming season.
The TV personality shared a photo of her sons, Israel, six, and Samuel, four, as they played and cuddled with their grandmother on her porch, captioned: “These boys love their Mima.”
In another image, Derick’s mother, Cathy, had a conversation with her grandsons as they enjoyed the cool weather.
The boys played in a horse-shaped rocking chair while their grandparents rested, as Jill insisted: “Mima and Bawpaw’s toys are way more fun than ours.
“Btw, this is the coolest high chair, rocking horse, desk!” she gushed.
The TLC star also documented a mother-son moment as Cathy and Derick hit the kitchen to whip up some soup for the family.
NOT SEEING EYE-TO-EYE
Jill’s posts with her husband’s parents came as no surprise as she has been somewhat estranged from her own family for many years.
The 16 Kids & Counting alum grew up in a fundamentalist Christian household, where her parents Jim Bob and Michelle enacted strict rules for their children.
The girls of the family were forced to wear modest clothing and not cut their hair, while all the children were not allowed to watch TV and spend time online.
Jill has long since abandoned the strict lifestyle that her parent’s set forth and has gone so far as to talk candidly about sex, drink alcohol, and wear short shorts on occasion.
‘SATANIC ORIGINS’
Earlier this month, the young mother continued her rebellion as she filmed herself shopping for Halloween decor.
She showcased some of her finds including scarecrows, wicker baskets, and a horse costume for her toddler Israel.
Jill shared a photo of all of her new decorations, telling fans: “Found so many great things! Can’t wait to decorate!”
“Sam is so excited about his horsey costume,” she added.
However, her outing came as a shock to Duggar fans the family has been against celebrating Halloween due to their religion.
The Arkansas family of 21 has claimed the holiday has occult and evil practices associated with it.
In 2011, Jill’s mother Michelle Duggar wrote in a now-deleted post: “While we do go to pumpkin patches and corn mazes, we don’t do the Halloween thing.
“From the beginning of our marriage, we just kind of felt like we didn’t want to celebrate that holiday. But we enjoy the harvest celebration.
“Our church fellowship has had different celebrations through the years that we’ve been a part of, ones where the children can play games and receive candy and toys and do all kinds of fun things, like a cakewalk.”
Jill’s brother-in-law Jeremy Vuolo has also spoken out about the holiday, claiming that the “satanic origins” are “disturbing.”
