Jessa Duggar shows off messy house with spilled food & toys on the floor after she’s slammed for ‘not cleaning up’
JESSA Duggar and husband Ben Seewald have shared another glimpse at their home family life – and again all fans could focus on was how messy their house is.
The Counting On alums posted a video of their kids eating ice cream, and as cameradad Ben panned around the table, the families littered living room floor was revealed in the background.
Scattered on the carpet were various toy pieces and building blocks. A pint-sized slide occupied the corner.
On Reddit, fans called the family heads out for their lack of motivation to clean.
One fan noted: “Jessa seems too depressed to wash spoons tbh.”
While another countered the couple are : “Too lazy and important to do dishes.”
Another was hopeful the kids would not follow in their parents footsteps: “Henry is making plans to get the f**k out of there.”
Jessa has come under fire on more than one occasion for having a messy house.

DIRTY WORK
Last month, She shared a photo of Spurgeon 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 Reddit, 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 post: “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.
“Not trying to pit a clean house against interaction with kids– sometimes both are possible, tho often they do seem in opposition to one another”
