Jessa Duggar Opens Up About Handling ‘Rude' Comments Amid Her Current Pregnancy With Ben Seewald
Jessa Seewald (née Duggar) opened up about some of the 'rude' comments aimed at her as she and her husband, Ben Seewald, get ready to welcome baby No. 6. The former 19 Kids and Counting star, 32, said that while she's never had someone 'come up to her face and be nasty or rude,' she has experienced negativity from critics in the comments section of her YouTube videos. 'I have heard a lot of rude and unnecessary comments but generally those are just online,' Jessa said in a Q&A she posted on YouTube on Thursday, May 8. 'You know people may comment under this YouTube video and be like, 'Oh, you're breeding like rabbits,' or 'You're crazy,' or 'Are you trying to follow in your mom's footsteps? Are you going to have 19 kids?'' She continued, 'But, honestly, my mom is my hero. I love her, I adore her, she is my role model in so many ways. Her patience, her love, her gentleness [and] her kind speech. She is the golden example of a mother, in my opinion. So, when people say, 'Do you want to be like your mother?' I'm like, 'Yes, please, Lord, help me.'' Jessa said that she was grateful that no one she was close to ever gave her 'flak' or offered up unwanted advice and opinions. The former reality star then offered up some tips she'd received on how to handle naysayers on the internet. 'Some advice that I recently heard on this topic that was super helpful to me was somebody saying that oftentimes, we can set the tone for how people receive our news,' Jessa explained. 'When we say something like, 'Oh, we're expecting,' or 'We're so thankful for this baby. We're so grateful,' that definitely sets a different tone for how it's received versus [saying], 'We're definitely done after this one.'' She went on, 'I don't think it's wrong to say certain things, but I know that sometimes we can cater to how we think other people might receive the news in the way that we present it. So, if we think people might judge me for having another baby, we might be quicker to present the information in a way that's, like, backpedaling or apologizing for where we are in life.' Jessa also admitted that it helps that she and Ben, 29, know that they can't 'fully control' opinions from other people and said that recognizing that helps them not stress about the negative comments. 'We don't live for those,' she shared. 'It's not other people's approval that we should want most, but I think that we can definitely influence in the way that we share information [and] maybe how other people will perceive and receive.' Jessa and Ben first got engaged in August 2014 before marrying just three months later. They welcomed their first child, son Spurgeon, in 2015, and over the next several years, they continued to add to their growing family with Henry, Ivy, Fern and George. In March, the couple announced that she was pregnant with baby No. 6.

Women Ditch Friend on International Vacation After She Has Visa Issues. Then She Asks Them for a Refund
A woman has turned to Reddit for advice after she and her friend left their third travel mate behind due to visa issues. It all happened when three friends planned an exciting trip to Egypt and Switzerland with a layover in London. But, their adventure rapidly crumbled when one of them was denied entry into the United Kingdom. The poster recounts how she warned her friends, Jessa and Ellie, to complete their Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before leaving. Unfortunately, neither listened to her advice. It wasn't until they arrived in London that they understood the gravity of the situation. 'Border agents told them they needed to do the ETA immediately or they would have to be back on the next flight to the US,' the poster explains. While Ellie's ETA was approved within minutes, Jessa's application dragged on for hours. 'It turned into one hour and then two hours and then almost three hours later of us waiting at the airport. [Then] she's hit with a denial,' the woman writes. Related: Woman Who Ditched Chronically Late Friend Who Missed Party Bus Says She Was Called 'Selfish' for Leaving After an Hour The denial of Jessa's ETA threw their carefully planned trip into chaos. The friends had their flight to Egypt scheduled for the next day. However, border officials informed Jessa that she would not be allowed to transfer and would have to return to the United States to apply for a standard visa. Jessa suggested that her friends abandon their trip and return with her to the United States. But, the two friends were reluctant to do so as their next tickets were non-refundable. The poster writes, 'Mind you, we are on the basic economy tickets with Delta, so if we leave, we lose money that we can't get back.' After careful consideration, the two friends made the difficult choice to continue their trip without Jessa. This decision affected everyone involved as the poster details the financial arrangements they had made for the trip, including shared accommodations, flights and excursions. Related: Teenager Leaves Parents on Caribbean Island to Get Back to Cruise on Time: 'They Missed the Departure. By a Lot' The situation was further complicated when Jessa requested reimbursement for her share of the non-refundable expenses. 'I was able to cancel 3 excursions for a full refund but she wants us to come out of pocket and repay her and I don't think it's fair,' the woman states.

Now the woman is struggling with feelings of guilt and uncertainty on whether she and Ellie did the right thing leaving Jessa behind. Many Redditors have sided with the woman and Ellie on their decision to continue the trip without Jessa. 'You warned her, so her mistake isn't your financial responsibility. Nonrefundable costs should be hers, not yours,' writes one user. Another shares, 'Her not taking action is her responsibility. No reason for everyone else to suffer just because she got denied. She goes home and learns a lesson. Next time get all the approvals before leaving for another country.' Read the original article on People
