Back in October of 2017, Jessa Duggar posted photos of her "messy" house in an effort to demonstrate to fans that she’s just so relatable.

Despite her wealth and fame, she understands the challenges of raising young children, and falls behind on a lot of things in life.

Not surprisingly, this backfired hard on the mother of two, who was promptly roasted to a crisp by an army of angry mom-shamers.

Fans slammed Jessa for raising her children in unsafe conditions, and she certainly gave them enough material.

They cited a ton of dirty dishes and a full diaper pail as risk factors that could potentially make her two sons sick.

Jessa didn’t respond to the criticism.

Some of her most devoted followers came to her defense, though, rightly arguing that the house really wasn’t in all that terrible of a state.

One would think that after being mess shamed by thousands of concern trolls, Jessa would refrain from posting any photos or videos.

At least ones that showed her house. For a while.

One would think. But earlier this week, she proved that the haters can’t get her down by sharing this video of her youngest son, Henry.

"Henry discovered a new game last night," Jessa captioned the clip, shown above … and yes, fans were soon all over her for it.

As a sort of pre-emptive response to the inevitable backlash, Jessa assured fans that steps were taken to ensure Henry’s safety:

"(And daddy came to aid by moving hard objects from the fall zone and padding the area with pillows and blankets)," she wrote.

However, this being the Internet in 2018, fans still saw cause for concern, or an opportunity to give s–t to a celebrity.

"What he is doing is potentially dangerous though," wrote one follower.

"Plus it is teaching the wrong way to use a slide. He chews on tags, water bottle caps, misuses the slide." 

"SMH, can’t they parent these kids?!!!"

The comment refers to a recent incident in which Henry was seen chewing on a tube of ointment in a brief online video.

This is the second child endangerment controversy in as many weeks for Jessa, who was recently criticized for allegedly allowing her children to play near a busy highway.

In actuality, the children were playing under adult supervision in Jessa’s backyard, but the house is situated near a highway.

That was all the ammo fans needed to launch a full-scale assault on her parenting abilities, a new pastime on Instagram.

We’re guessing Jessa will probably be taking a break from social media sometime in the near future, though you never know.

She’s been known to clap back.
