| QUOTE (GrownUpStickerBook @ 21/4/2020, 02:30) The way Jen talks to her children—when she even bothers—is what concerns me. Constant baby talk from a parent keeps children from developing good language skills. I’m not sure Jen actually talks baby talk, but she does use a high-pitched voice that I would tune out if I lived with her.
I knew a child whose mom reinforced her mispronunciation of words because she thought it was cute. The child needed speech therapy when she entered school. It didn’t take long for her skills to improve once she heard words pronounced correctly. Maybe Donny will catch up.
Psychologically though—not sure those kids have a chance.
I wouldn't allow anyone to use baby talk with my daughter. I can't stand it and it's really annoying, plus it serves no purpose. My daughter is almost 4 and very intelligent with an enormous vocabulary. Donny is definitely behind and would do well with early intervention. As a teacher, I've seen students enter EI and thrive! Jen needs to get her head on straight and help her son, and pay attention to her daughter. |

Yeah, strained oat water definitely not as creamy and rich as milk. Because I’m actually a 14 year old boy....”nut milk bag” made me  I showed my mom some of the pictures of toys everywhere and asked if that would have been ok with her when my brother and I were little. She said “we’ll kids are gonna make messes while they play but when I told you to pick stuff up I would have only told you once. If you didn’t pick stuff up it would have gone in the trash.”
When my daughter makes a mess and won't clean up, I tell her "Five minutes." That means get off your ass, clean up your mess, or what is left out is mine. It ends up in the basement until I decide to give it back. I had quite a few of her things down there this past week! |

| QUOTE (Depl @ 17/4/2020, 21:53) So she won’t use her daily free time during naps for Lives. But she will do them when the kids are there so the internet can see CC be annoying. What a great mom
I tried to watch it, but Charlotte was being very annoying. I know she just wants Jen's attention. And Jen was so mean to her in the vlog by showing Donny eating his cupcake and Charlotte having to finish her dinner first. Not everything has to be vlogged. |

| My daughter is nearly 4 and has been home for the past month. She misses preschool, her teachers, and her friends. My husband and I explained that there is a sickness and that's why her school is closed and she cannot come to the store with us.
I've been keeping her busy with a preschool skills workbook, some pages I printed offline, and fun YouTube videos for exercise. She's learning to ride a trike- her feet just make it, lol - and when the weather is nice we're outside. |

| QUOTE (PrettyNeatDivorce @ 12/2/2020, 19:53) QUOTE (deltaburkefan @ 2/12/2020, 07:48 PM) Someone posted in the last thread that surely it’s not possible that Jen could read a few self-help books and blow up her marriage.
But I believe it. Jen has no sense of self, no identity. Her identity is whatever she is trying to be or whoever she is copying. Jen didn’t like makeup until she saw TiffanyD use it. Jen didn’t like Disney until she joined the Rosses. She has no sense of self to anchor her. Jen is always searching for the things that will give her something that constitutes an identity and make her finally happy. She read divorce books and saw how much better Glennon Doyle’s and Ali Edwards’s lives are after divorce, and she decided that Don was the problem and without Do, she could finally find the life that would make her happy. It’s just the biggest, most destructive manifestation of a pattern she’s always had. I agree 100% that she was influenced by books and quotes. She is a cult leader's dream because she is s easily influenced.
I'm waiting for the video that starts out with, "Hello, friends. Let me tell you all about my new religion, Scientology. Or is it Sky-entology? You know how bad I am at pronouncing things!"
I haven't watched much Jen lately but y'all have been keeping me up to date. If Jen imploded her marriage because she read some books, then all I can say is, Wow. I don't care much for Don, but I thought they'd stay miserable together. |

| QUOTE (martiniflightlikedon @ 12/1/2020, 22:58) I think she's probably just happy she doesn't have to hide anything anymore
This has been brewing for so long and I'd imagine the initial sadness about it has transitioned
But I also think they both honestly wanted this and needed this and they're feeling some relief
I'd imagine this is such a shock to a casual viewer/fan of hers
The bakery has had the inside scoop for so long -- even the Hayriders knew there was a lot of trouble in paradise
I don't think they were happy together for a long time, but I thought they'd stay married and miserable for the kids. |

Cleaning videos are popular on YouTube. Jen could film herself cleaning, talk about Grove Collaborative, lol. |

| | I'm surprised at the announcement, but not very shocked. Don is an annoying thinks-he-knows-it-all, as evidenced by Jen's eye rolling at Disney, and his drunken vlogs. I feel mostly bad for the kids, but they're very young and have both sets of grandparents as support. Plus if there was fighting in the household, that could make any kid anxious. |

| Married 5 years, and I think they'll be staying together and be miserable until the kids are out of the house. Team hayride then, I guess? Besides, I never thought they had a happy marriage. Jen treats Don like crap and he acts like a know-it-all.
Adding kids to the mix definitely can cause strain. I had some depression after having my daughter, but my husband, thank goodness, was a big support.
QUOTE (Meow2 @ 11/15/2019, 10:53 PM) QUOTE (Depl @ 11/15/2019, 10:49 PM) If everything is ok between them, why throw your family/marriage under the bus? When it’s so easy to clarify things? because if she answers questions about the tinder stuff she is responding to the trolls. it's not fans who are going out of their way to create fake pics, fake profiles, etc. the main ones talking about it is us. I'm sure most viewers haven't a clue that anything may be wrong btw I've been married for 4 months so naturally I'm an expert on this entire topic 
Congratulations, Meow!  |

She also didn't include Boyd's little boxes, or tea cups, or spoons, or Snoopy, or stuffed animals, or yarn, or makeup, or alllll the other things she collected. It's Jen. Remember? ------------------ As for the meaning of "we are going to St. Louis" that's been discussed, her exact wording was: "My parents are going, and we’re going with the kids."
She made jewelry too. Remember that huge pillow that she bought? That was either for making jewelry or knitting, but it's collecting dust right now. |

| | I've seen this posted before but...what if Jen saw that her subscriber count wasn't very high and made up the fake Tinder profile - behind Don's back - just for not only head pats and sympathy, but more subscribers? Everyone would want to see what's up with the mom of two little kids whose husband is searching for hookups on Tinder! |

She asks him to help Donny, and a drawer in the kitchen must be open, so he slams it shut to walk by and get to Donny. I guess his way of letting Jen know he'd rather be swiping right on Tinder hoes. I agree. You can tell by his hand up too. Like wtf throwing hand up
I watched it a few times and Charlotte definitely looks up to see what's going on and Jen stops up and looks too. She's probably thinking, "Asshole." It seems like she edited some time out too, because a couple more cookies are decorated. |

| QUOTE (Living Life With Butter @ 11/12/2019, 10:16 PM) I mark the downfall at Italy, their relationship was visibly strained at that point and has never really recovered. Speculation time, but I think that's when Don put his foot down about having kids, she'd been stalling with the shag carpet herbs around a year at that point? And that trip was just over six months before they conceived CC. I definitely remember from her "infertility journey" that they were going to put her on Clomid if she hadn't conceived by May. I don't know how quickly they put you on meds there, but here it's pretty far down the line of investigation. Six months seems reasonable to me, and would fit the timeline.
I'm in the US and that's what my doctor told me when I was TTC. Try six months without any help, and then they'd put me on something.
Jen's vlog was sad. I'm glad she seemed to have fun making the gingerbread house and playing outside with the kids, but something is definitely going on. |
