    That stupid house was the pinnacle of Jen’s impulse shopping.

    Terrible layout, WAY too big for her and two part time circumstances, so many things that scream cheap flip, the vertigo-inducing bathroom tiles, the mausoleum fireplace, the kitchen with no pantry and awkward useless cabinets, and all the money she dumped into countertops and moving the laundry and whatever else it is she got done.

    She rushed that so much, I’m partially convinced that she rushed because Don was in an apartment and she wanted to appear to be the more responsible parent or some fake nonsense.

    If Paula is a real person, then she also needs to be treated for believing in this pseudo relationship she has with a “content creator” who doesn’t give her the time of day. It’s bizarre to be someone’s online bouncer when you don’t even know them.

    She’s got no voice and she’s got the kids. We’re not getting a scolding. She’s going to play pretend in her cult like nothing ever happened.

    There was 96 comments when I went to bed and 104 this morning. Some of those comments have over 150 likes. Wonder if Jen's videos ever get that many likes anymore?

    That YouTube ad revenue from more views than she’s gotten in months will help her keep the lights on!

    That comment she responded to isn’t even “not kind”. Maybe she’s in a financial mess is something a friend wonders about another friend.

    Her Patreon description says it is “a safe space to gather and share our stories. We, the wonder crew :hearty-laugh: , honor kindness, value connection, and love whole-heartedly. You are welcome here.”

    Nowhere on her Patreon page does it say you can’t WONDER about what is going on in the creator’s life. Is it only a safe space for Jen?

    The phrase keep the lights on means enough money to break even at a business, maintaining the current (or bare minimum) level of operations. Being able to pay the bills at the end of the month with nothing left over.

    Her Patreon does not keep the proverbial lights on. The Don dollar$ do. (And if she truly has the kids for months on end, he’s likely giving her a lot more child support to do it.)

    The Patreon money doesn’t come anywhere NEAR covering her travel expenses, much less all of her spending on other things related to her “content” - crowned athletics outfits, Peloton subscription, advent calendars, all the crap in her “office”, the list is long.

    Her Patreon money might cover her property taxes, and some of the expensive salmon, but not much else.

    FINALLY her patrons are calling her out! That was such a thoughtful and well stated comment, that first one.

    This is what FRIENDS do, Jen. They call each other out on their sh*t sometimes. Real friends aren’t blind praise machines.

    And what is up with talking about people in a “not so kind” way? You mean like Paula claiming people are easily offended by ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING?

    Oh, friends, freedom's not a state like Brown vs The Board of Education. Freedom is a state of mind. And,I am blessed that we are on the journey together, assuming I am able to keep the lights on here at the WWC.

    Every time she refers to it as the WWC, it’s giving playing pretend school with her dollies in her bedroom, age 8. I’m dating myself here, but like when any of us would borrow a parent’s adding machine and clipboard, maybe some rubber stamps, and play “office.”

    Like she’s the president of the Babysitters Club and is holding the weekly meeting. A fan club meeting.

    It is arrested development in real time, weekly.

    She’s gotten more views on that video than she has gotten on any other video in months.

    It’s not the stupid travel anyone is interested in. It’s Jen’s lack of perspective.

    She has a “boo boo” :10:

    Oof, the YouTube comments are a dumpster fire for Jen.

    I'd love to know why she's always gripping her kids in photos. (I don't say hugging because it's not a hug, it's a full on death lock!) Is she scared they'll run away if she doesn't? It's not a nice look. 🫤

    Overcompensating.

    The same way there are daggers in her heart without her kids (but in reality momming is hard) and she only ever wants to be with her littles (but parenting them full time equates to having your number pulled in the chaos lottery) and of COURSE she’d prefer to be home and not traveling but her heart hurts without her kids (but she’s obviously distraught to not be traveling for a month or two.)

    AKA gaslighting.

    It’s interesting that on Instagram, Patreon is described just as lifestyle content.

    She doesn’t mention that she uses it as her own personal clique, as her “safe space”, the place where she supposedly gets real and where she claims to be praying for everyone and doing things as a we.

    Probably because she knows if she described it accurately, nobody would join. She’s no dummy.

    That in and of itself needs psychological evaluation. If people pay you $5 a month, you tell them when you’re not going to be home and you show them more of your kids and your house and you claim to care about them as individuals and be connecting with them when all you’re doing is clicking like on a comment on a video.

    7 on 7 off is a very normal 50/50 split, particularly when the parents live close by and kids are as young as the circumstances are.

    It would also help Jen with her traveling.

    Don can’t order her to stay home during her non-custodial time. I don’t even think a judge could order that, it would violate her personal liberty. These are NORMAL kids and as much as Jen grates on our nerves, she’s not abusive or neglectful in the legal sense.

    Don also can’t force her to have the kids for longer stretches, for any reason. He’d have to go to court for such a thing, a judge would have to sign off on that, and child support payments would have to be adjusted. Getting an advanced degree is not a reason to not see your kids.

    For as much as y’all hate on Jen for all of her exercising when the kids are with her, how on earth would you think it is at all okay for Don to voluntarily shirk his parental responsibilities for an advanced degree or to somehow teach Jen a lesson? That would be disgusting and would be grounds for her to take him to court.

    Most custody agreements give the other parent first right of refusal. The default would be that if Don CAN’T exercise his custody rights, they would go to Jen.

    So the logical conclusion here is that Don is unable to exercise his custody rights. A surgery would not preclude that unless he was inpatient in the hospital for an extended period of time. He has a wife and a nanny to assist during his custody time if he is physically unable but is at home, and he does have the right to utilize them to be able to see his kids at home.

    If he truly is not seeing them for weeks or months on end, it is because he’s physically unable to, AND IS NOT HOME, either due to a medical reason or a legal reason.

    The Peloton subscription is like $60/month.

    She just bought more DVC.

    The RunDisney trips are expensive just for the travel and the race itself, then she spends even more money on ornaments, more shirts, more ears, Gideons, all the things.

    Her Patreon income for one month can’t even cover one of her trips.
