Jessa Duggar Got Mom-Shamed for Letting Henry Play Outside Barefoot
Gosh, it's always something with these guys. On April 26, Jessa Duggar shared a very sweet video of her sons Henry Seewald and Spurgeon Seewald playing outside on a warm spring day together. While at first glance it's totally innocent, fans took issue with one tiny detail… the fact that one-year-old Henry is barefoot. Watch the video above to see the clip, and fans' mom-shaming comments about it.
"Toddlers. ???? So cute to watch them discover all the little details in their world! ?," wrote Jessa in the Instagram caption. While some people complained, plenty more thought the video was cute and Henry was perfectly safe. "Someone is going to b—h about Henry being barefoot. IGNORE THEM!! Those are two happy, healthy, well cared for little boys. You're doing a great job raising them," said one passionate fan. Another agreed, writing, "Loving that he has no shoes on! Best way for toddlers to become stable when walking and they feel the ground beneath them!!! Great for his immune system too!"
But while most kids will be fine outdoors without shoes, there are still dangers. Bug bites, bacteria, rusty nails… things can definitely go wrong. This fan shared her scary story to warn Jessa: "When my daughter was little she always wanted to be barefoot. I was a new mother and didn't realize the dangers. She got a bad infection on her foot and one of her toes had to be amputated. May God bless you & your babies." Yikes!
Meanwhile, Jessa doesn't show herself in the video at all, except for a quick glance of her reflection in the glass door. Fans are dying to see her belly, since as In Touch reported, she's expecting a third baby, and seemed to admit it herself recently. Since Henry is finally walking, it seems like the perfect time to welcome another little angel!
