Back to the Disney vlog -
I understand that’s she’s a “single” mom by herself w/ 2 young children, still…
While at Disney -
* On the 1st day, we didn’t even go into the rest of the park - just the front for the parade & then we went back to our room.
* We mainly just did quick-service at our resort. (Side Note - I get quick-service, but there are so many fun quick-service restaurants in Disney World besides the Contempo Cafe.)
While on the cruise -
* We didn’t get off the ship when at the Bahamas port.
* I ordered room service.
* We left the island early.
* We did the early NYE party & then went to bed.
And that doesn’t include the time she made the kids wait w/ her for the gift shop to open so she could buy the flipflops.
Also…
* So Jen is the type of person who plops stuff down on chairs to save the chairs & then leaves the chairs to go off & do other things for however long.
* Jen is also the type of person who will leave her young children on a beach w/ basically strangers while she walks up & down looking for her bag… and will trust those strangers to watch her kids around the water.
* Jen is also the type of person who doesn’t find public hot tubs gross & germy.
Additionally, I loved all her money-flexing on this trip! LOL!
* Special Car Service
* The Tipping
Jen - “If you have the money, why not spread it around?”
Unless, of course, you’re talking about buying food for your family Thanksgiving, buying your kids new school backpacks, buying a wheelchair for your dog, buying your kids light sabers… then, don’t spread it around, of course.
And, bless her heart… they kept her luggage because she had scissors. She didn’t get her private dining table. She’s not a Gold Club member yet. She was given the same bag she already has. She had to leave her Disney mug behind. Her kids don’t enjoy the Kid Club. Her bag was lost/stolen… but, MAGICALLY, it was found later!
And, I confess… I was playing a game on my phone while she rambled on & on about the Disney trip, so I may have missed a few things - Did she show a picture of them from the NYE Party - which dress did CC wear? -
.Imagine hauling your kids all the way to the Bahamas, paying a premium for a New Year's Eve cruise and then sleeping through it.
Jen really squanders everything.
And not even getting off the ship at the Bahamas port. -
.I just have to say that none of really know much of anything about D** and Tensleigh’s relationship. From the limited social media that we see, everything looks great and they look like a happy couple, up until this latest development anyway. The thing that always sticks with me is his Tinder profile where he described himself as a “dom” and polyamorous. That’s the type of relationship he was seeking. This was pre-Tens. Did that all go out the window when he met her? She had to have googled him at some point and seen his gross profile. That’s if she met him outside of Tinder. We don’t know as much as we think we do about these people, and it’s almost become a weird parasocial relationship that we have with them at this point.
Honestly there is so much hatred for Don’s use of Tinder on here but it so often amounts to kink shaming. Being dom/sub in the bedroom is not indicative of any sort of behaviours outside the bedroom. Also let’s remember that whilst some fetishes can include varying levels of violence (with consent!) it is not a pre-requisite for being dom.
Perhaps y’all met your partners in a pre-Tinder world or are completely vanilla and great for you but what he posted is not all that bad by today’s standards and let’s remember - he was separated. Nothing wrong with getting back out there.
For Tens, I’ll say she has some kahunas on her. The IG and the cover photo leans towards that she is supporting Don to get whatever help he needs to improve himself for himself and his family. No doubt it is a horrible situation but hats off to her for putting her foot down and forcing his hand. She obviously sees something worth fighting for.
And Jen is an arsehole, that we all know.
For me, it’s not that he had a Tinder profile or what he included on his Tinder profile.
Have whatever kind of sex you want. Make it fun. Make it spicy. Go wild.
For me, the problem is that, before making & posting his Tinder profile, he gave NO thought to his kids - in the present or in the future when they (& their friends) are old enough to find & read the archives.
It’s kinda like Chandler on “Friends” w/ his mother being a romance novelist - even though “Friends” is a fictional comedy, still, Chandler had issues w/ his mother that lasted into adulthood. When she’s on the Jay Leno show & talking about craving Chinese food after “being intimate,” Chandler yells at the TV, “That’s too much information!”
And, yes, parents can (& should) have lives completely separate from their kids.
But, still, you gotta give at least a little thought & consideration for your kids before you make certain choices - and, for Don, it’s not what he’s into sexually, it’s that he, as a father of 2 young children, made the choice to put it out there into the public domain.
And no matter how sexually positive & affirming we should all be, we all know the teasing & innuendos that will take place when his kids’ friends find the profile (or when they overhear the grownups in their lives talking about it). -
.
Jen currently lives in a mostly undecorated & definitely disorganized house.
She’s been busy running away from everything w/ travel & Disney.
ONLY Jen, when given the opportunity to finally be at home for more than a few days at time, would decide, instead of actually focusing on her house & making it a warm & welcoming home for both herself & her 2 children, to spend all this new time on some arts & crafts projects.
And all the junk that comes w/ these “memory keeping” projects that she has now scattered all over her office only adds to the general clutter & disorganization of her house.
Likewise w/ the random little plants & plant seedlings that she has all over the place - even if the extra little seedling is in a really $$$ planter, it’s still just more clutter.
Also, nice move to prove how much you’re a gardener too, Jen. -
.
So Jen is playing sad, sappy violin music & packing away all her Disney Run costumes.
Her text accompanying the sad music said something about “hopefully being able to achieve the Dopey Dream some day in the future.”
Has she not already achieved the Dopey Challenge?
This current Disney Run season would just be a repeat of last year’s for her, right? (Minus the virtual race she had to do since her nephew had the audacity to schedule his wedding during a Disney Race weekend, of course.) -
.
I could see Jen, when she 1st found out about what was happening, assuming this was going to be the end of Don & the new Mrs. Ross.
And, whether she (Jen) thought Don would come crawling back to her or she (Jen) was just smugly happy that Don was in trouble & would also be single again (#LikeJen), I think she (Jen) thought she’d be returning to the Ross Family in all her glory as the mother of CC & Donny (the “heir”) & as the woman who stood by Don & was loyal to him after the new Mrs. Ross left… and everyone in the Ross Family would be grateful to her & would welcome her back w/ open arms. And, even if she & Don never ever got back together, Don would never find another woman, & Jen would be back in her rightful place in the Ross Family.
So, even though Jen was upset over missing all the Disney races & stressed over having the kids full-time, she was still on a manic-high & was feeling pretty smug & self-righteous.
Cue the going through the old scrapbooks & reminiscing fondly over the pics of Don & their family pics.
But, then, behind the scenes, something else happened (maybe just the magazine article?) which told Jen that, no, Tensleigh wasn’t leaving & Jen wouldn’t be returning like a conquering heroine to the Ross Clan.
Cue the “You can tell someone to F off & still be kind” & “I’m exercising so I don’t resort to violence” & then deleting of Don from all her social media. -
PissedCuzShe’sDoingTheMommyStintInsteadOfTheDisneySprintLikeJen Pt. 441 - With Wonder - Jennifer Ross.She’s reaching for content without travel videos and protecting her privacy. Maybe she’s planning to add “Throwback Thursdays” videos from her old channels exclusively for Patreon members.
I think you probably just gave her an idea. LOL! -
.Yep. Niece plus boyfriend plus dog. Jen mentioned it, I think on Thanksgiving itself
I'm going to respectfully disagree unless you can give me a time stamp. I remember when we were discussing this I went back to find where Jen ever mentioned about a boyfriend staying and could not find it. Some comments thought maybe the sister & boyfriend stayed after the parents left to visit but then left and one niece and the dog stayed. I remember the discussion because someone commented they could never see Jen letting the boyfriend and the niece alone in the basement.
ETA.. Queen Bee, you posted this on 11/28
Posted: 11/28/2023, 03:58 AM - With Wonder - Jennifer Ross
There was only the niece and her dog in the basement!
How did they make noise partying??
Unless it was also bro and sil??
Yeah, I don’t remember Jen ever saying her niece, her niece’s boyfriend, & her niece’s dog were staying w/ her - just her niece & her dog.
But I do remember a lot of people speculating that maybe a boyfriend was also there… and one thing led to another, &, suddenly, the boyfriend being there w/ the niece became fact.
That happens every now & then around here… there’s talk about something Jen-related, there’s some speculating & guessing about whatever, people come & go from the thread or maybe miss a few pages, 2 or 3 facts then get mixed up/left out/added, & then that altered version becomes the general belief.
Kinda like a game of Gossip. LOL! -
.Let’s acknowledge fathers are equally parents as mothers (and for Charlotte and DK4 fathers can even better parents). Why shouldn’t Don have 50/50, it is not “ridiculous and unstable” at all.
I’m not implying that fathers do not have equal rights, or are inferior parents.
I do believe that the shuffling back and forth is very very hard on any person. Any human being, small or large, would have a hard time living in 2 different places 50 percent of the time. I wouldn’t like to uproot myself twice a week to go live in a hotel, and then come home. And do to over and over again.
So yea, I do believe the 50/50 law is really, really stupid.
And this is not a discussion about who is the better parent. It’s an acknowledgment, that as a mother, who has a heart and a soul, would find this very very hard on behalf of their children. This has nothing to do with equal rights. It has to do with a place of home. Everyone deserves that.
I get what you’re saying, but, if both parents are good parents, wanting to be equally involved in their children’s daily lives, then I think there are ways to work out some kind of mutually beneficial custody agreement that both fits the parents’ schedules & their desires for hands-on involvement AND, most importantly, don’t completely upend the children’s world every time custody is switched.
I’ve read about cases where it’s the parents who go back & forth from the family home - meaning, the kids stay 100% of the time at the family home, & the parents come & go on their scheduled custody days/weeks. So the kids’ home lives pretty much stay static - their home is the same all the time, & they have their bedrooms w/ their things & aren’t having to pack up & go from place to place.
Such a great solution for some families - but most parents don’t have the incomes to maintain what essentially becomes 3 households (the kids’ primary home, the one parent’s apartment or house when he/she isn’t at the primary home, & the other parent’s apartment or house when he/she isn’t at the primary home.) Don & Jen DO have the income & resources to do something like this w/ CC & Donny, but neither probably has the emotional maturity/wisdom to do what it takes to make it work. -
WinterTravelHasHitTheSkidsBecauseSheIsFinallyForcedToParentHerKids Pt. 439 - With Wonder - Jennifer Ross.
Not consulting a pet psychic would help keep the lights on.
Not purchasing yet another Disney DVC would help keep the lights on.
Not paying to have pretty little “feel good” notes mailed to you every month would help keep the lights on.
Not paying for a higher tier in the Disney Run club just so you can be placed in an earlier corral & be able to purchase even more Disney run merchandise would help keep the lights on. -
.I think the “surprises” as a whole also include some of the things she mentioned in the last few videos, a last day of school case of pinkeye, a flight that got bumped up an hour…
I’m still thinking (and hoping) it’s just Jennifer over exaggerating as usual.
Also is it just me or is the “homemade” craft she got from CC and Donny totally something Tens made happen. Who else? It wasn’t something they did with Jen or else she’d be bragging and it looks way too cute, and it was not likely they’d pull them together for one together craft at the SK.
The hand/foot prints art is something standard every preschool does.
It may be different in Montessori schools, but, if siblings are in 2 different classes/grades at the school, their artwork that they bring home is usually not combined like that though into one piece.
In most classroom situations, CC would have prints of her hand & foot on a piece of paper & then Donny would have a separate paper w/ his hand & foot prints - they wouldn’t be combined into one.
I could see maybe Suzanne doing it w/ them though, before Tensleigh.

.I’m loving the theory that it’s because she’s been told “the children” need her more for more stability.
Basically, you’re a shit mother and you need to stay the fuck home.
Let’s keep talking about that, so she feels the need to give more information, trying to throw Don under the bus 🤣
This is what I’ve been saying!!!
Keep ALL this on Jen, & she’ll eventually drop more information.
Because, right now, Jen is LOVING all this speculation around Don - he’s an alcoholic… he’s in jail… he’s in rehab… Tensleigh got high & ran into a school bus.
Just because someone drinks - just because someone enjoys drinking - doesn’t mean he’s an alcoholic.
Just because someone enjoys a gummy every now & then doesn’t mean she’s out driving high & is one step away from meth.
That’s not to say any of the guesses aren’t true, but we really don’t know.
And we’re ONLY getting Jen’s version of things, even when she was w/ Don, we were only getting her version of things… and Jen LIES, & Jen MANIPULATES the truth.
But, what do I know? I stayed on that darn “they’re staying married” wagon to the bitter end.
However, I still maintain that Jen loves all this speculation making Don look a rehab addict so she can come across like the one stable influence in her precious babies’ lives.

.Some people are weird about alcohol. Some people are weird about alcohol around children. And, because of that, tend to see anything alcohol related as red flags.
But, just because Don enjoyed his vodka doesn’t necessarily mean he’s an alcoholic.
And, like others have mentioned, if I had to be around Jen for any length of time, I’d be drinking too.
Also, I don’t see “420 friendly” as necessarily a precursor to anything. Again, if I had to be around Jen for any length of time, I’d be chomping on adult gummies pretty much around the clock.
If anything, I could possibly see an addiction to pain pills due to his chronic back pain - and maybe Matthew Perry was some kind of wake-up call.
But that’s all just supposition because who really knows?
However, all that said…
Was it Christine who came on here once claiming that Don was drunk in his front yard & being carted off by the police while Jen was trying to shield the children from him?
I thought Jen has tried to hint/claim that Don is an alcoholic?
In addition to claiming her family is as well… -

.It will mean so many beautiful things for my kids if I can travel again.
???
I haven’t yet read everyone’s comments after watching the New Year’s “reflections & goals” video, but, now, I’m thinking even more that maybe whatever IT is has to do w/ CC & Donny themselves.
All the trauma of the divorce & the pandemic & the being shuffled back & forth between 2 very different households & their own mother being out of pocket & not available for days at a time has caught up w/ CC & Donny which has resulted in some possible behavioral issues and/or therapy which has also then resulted w/ a therapist or counselor suggesting that CC & Donny would benefit from more stable environments & intentional parenting.
And the therapist was all “Let’s see how a slower, less chaotic schedule might work for a couple of months & see how that works out.”
Jen - “But what about our Disney trip?”
“I would think that’d be fine, especially since you already have it planned. But I think starting the new year w/ less upheaval for them will be beneficial… a more balanced schedule between 2 stable, dependable homes is what we’re aiming for. Activities are absolutely fine, of course. And It’s great that CC is in a coding class w/ her peers. Is there some kind of activity for Donny? Jen, is there an activity that you could do that involves your children?”
Jen - “Family guitar lessons!”
“Great! And let’s get that custody schedule changed too & see how everyone does through the winter.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Which is why Jen is now saying - “If I’m able to travel again, it’ll mean beautiful things for my children.”
Meaning, after the kids adjust once again to the changes & stop acting out, Jen will be free to travel again & be less focused on parenting.
