    “More unraveling, less hiding”

    Flip the page, she’s hiding the only parts of this stupid thing that is worth sharing.

    A walking contradiction.
  2. .
    Invite - joy, stillness, love, listening, absorbing

    Let go - fear, distrust, rushing, despair, scrolling, tapping out

    “Loss on top of loss for my kids”

    Physical more nurturing less punishing (gee, it’s almost like we’ve talked about that here)

    Emotional more unraveling less hiding (WTF does that even mean?)

    Spiritual - more connecting less putting it off (?)

    Relationships - more honesty, less feeling inadequate (is that with Jill or with someone else…?)

    This stupid thing is assembling a picture book of Ali Edwards and Brandi Kincaid crap, with a bunch of surface level nonsense and staged pictures every once in awhile.

    I would be happy never hearing Emily's grating voice or Suzanne's equally but differently annoying voice ever again. Don's midwestern accent is also irritating.

    This!!!!

    OMG it was so hard to listen to them. Suzanne always came across condescending, Don’s “Graaaam-puh” always annoyed me (on top of the baby voice but that’s a given), and having to listen to Emily for hours in a social setting would make me immediately both depressed and annoyed, because of both how she spoke and what she said.

    The biggest group of dorkasauruses, and somehow they are loaded. Make it make sense.

    (Jill’s voice is in the Emily category for me, both depressing and annoying.)

    Not only did she screw up the show for all of us by eliminating the original cast and storylines, but she also screwed up the spinoff. Could have been dedicating herself to learning how to connect with her kids, buying a cute little house and doing major downsizing and decorating, dating and therapy and learning how to make friends and trying to have a glow up and heart to hearts with the camera about life and love and all the things.

    Instead we got…. Everything we got. It could not have been more poorly done. The delusion year (she claims to choose the divorce, she claims family is forever, she claims she has friends, kale diet), the depressed but lying about it years, pretending to care about that stupid house with the dumb projects and cheap furniture, lying about “budgeting”, the moon phases and tarot cards era, the stupid dancing and stupid guitar and stupid piano and stupid rollerblading stints. The rundisney Groundhog Days and Peloton Groundhog Days and pointless trip to the revenge “overlanding” vehicle Groundhog Days which all just roll into “The Real Life avoidance years,” and now that she’s been forced into real life, she refers to it as her number being called in the chaos lottery.

    So now we’re in the next cycle of, there’s no content worth watching because full time mothering makes her actually have to work a tiny bit and she’s obviously a princess, not a worker bee. So it’s just flailing and directionless. Passing the time but accomplishing nothing real.

    All of this could have been different for her, both before and after the divorce, if she had sought real mental health treatment, meds and actual therapy. Let that be a lesson to us all. I love my antidepressants and my therapist (and my life coach friend who tough loves me where my therapist can’t go there.) They make my life better, they don’t make me a failure, the way Jen acts like it would be if she had to seek real treatment. Quite the opposite, it has made her a failure to NOT engage in her mental health in a productive and honest fashion.

    What exactly does she even do that can be classified as “mothering” anyway? All of her time is spent on “self care.”

    From the second they were born, the very obvious emotional detachment was palpable and uncomfortable to watch. It’s utterly bizarre that she spends all of her waking hours reading up on how to love yourself and how to put stickers about loving yourself in a book, but didn’t actually ever check off the big to do: love the baby.

    If anyone ever needed to be on Wife Swap, it’s this loser.

    She said that all of this focuses her mind, soothes frayed nerves, helps her process her emotions and her life while she’s living it.

    These stupid videos might actually be interesting if she explained what that bull actually MEANS.

    A crutch for acknowledgement?

    And eventually put the phone down for the evening.

    She wrote down her “cortisol” shot. God she’s so stupid.

    These journals are just a shrine to Brandi Kincaid.

    This is the most embarrassing thing I can imagine having plastered on the front of a notebook. You can just scream "I have no self-esteem" for free!

    She says most of her two way prayer stuff is just telling herself that she’s worthy of love.

    She didn’t put the settings on her camera right for an overhead shot, half this video is blurry. :fist-shake:

    Tell us again that this is your JOB.

    How is it possible that she has the most special snowflake children in the universe but they managed to transition just fine to a household with a stepmother and step siblings, it’s daggers in her heart when they aren’t with her but they make her insane when they are with her, and she wants to act like she’s supermom (and her followers are all, “She’s such a great mom!”) but literally can’t figure out how to do dinners?

    And somehow someone decided it was okay to leave her with these kids 24/7?

    She’s showing exactly why she’s needed a nanny from the start.

    Why does she care what the binder looks like (boring and white without a rose gold coil 😆) when it’s just going to get shoved in a bin for several years?

    How can you “keep” memories, when you can’t be bothered to actually DO anything memorable?

    OMG those stupid chairs. Donny looks so uncomfortable. Why won’t she fix her stupid living room?!

    But for real I really appreciate the effort!!!

    Agreed! They never cease to make me laugh!

    I have never figured out how to post gifs, so I’m hoping one of my brethren bakers will help me out, but my favorite/cringeworthy one of all time is her nighttime skin care routine where she wipes something on her face while looking in the mirror, then looks at the camera, and does the slow mo grinch grin.

    I’d love to see what gets cut if this is stuff she thinks is okay to put on the internet.

    Who files first isn’t really relevant. She could have negotiated with him to file to save face, and he had left months prior with his iPad and not much else, so he probably didn’t care.
