| I forgot about the “spice haul” snark she did on Don.
I think in one of the couple/husband tag they did, one question was “what is something you wish your partner would get rid of” Don must have chewed his tongue off not answering that honestly lol ...
she literally has packed that entire house to the rafters with bins of “collections and seasonal decor” (for seasons I didn’t even know existed 🤣) and he was banished to his man cave to not complain about anything she ever had.
I don’t overly think Don is a saint.. but I am sure he has been on the brink of insanity for years! - bring in the Tito’s and cran!
Also... no wonder his back needed surgery, him hauling literal tones of weight from the basement and attic in bins for every holiday ... yikes! 🤯 |

| I have been doing a rewatch of some of the very old Jen vlogs ... holy cow.. now that we are all patiently anticipating their relationship fall.. the digs she took at him in videos is super cringy!
I don’t know if she ever really loved him.. or just fell in love with the life he provided her.
So many clips of eye rolling when he would say or do something she didn’t like. If it was caught on 10min vlogs, you know if prob is going on a lot when the camera isn’t rolling. After 10 years I could see why don would want out.... he prob should have done it BEFORE kids.. just sayin |

| I was just watching her very old organization video of her “under the stairs storage” she shows lots of clips of the basement layout. Don has an office, there is a mini kitchen, home gym,a bathroom and a large living space, including a pool table. That space would be ample for a comfortable play room.. and you know Jen could have the most high tech video monitor if she had to leave the kids to play alone.
I think leaving the house as it was and making unused rooms for the kids would have made the adjustment phase easier on both of them. They went from a “free” couple to running a home daycare. It’s too much! |

| I have a theory on how their relationship went downward...
I think Jen to a degree was feeling pressure to have kids. Maybe not directly, but from observation.. she follows the Ross lead on EVERYTHING!
So they had the kids and reality set in after CC was born.
Jen doted on Don and he did on her. It was almost a parent like dynamic between the two of them and they relied heavily on each other in their relationship. Don and Jen kinda drifted apart because the focus was not on each other like it had been for so long. She went on to make some fairly huge life changes (food, schedules etc) and left everything from their past in the storage bins in the basement. Literally
I honestly believe that BOTH would have been happier being the couple they started as and not have the kids in the middle. I have heard that a lot of couples struggled after kids come around and their lives were completely turned over the second CC arrived. It was too much change in a short period of time.
I don’t think they will make it honestly. |

After that.... he was left to tinder |

| Maybe she’s more than ok with this potential divorce on the horizon... they could split the kids 50/50 and she would be even closer to her “ideal” life?
She always was happiest in her own bubble 🤷🏻♀️ |

| | I think don was raised in a more tightly knit family life... I think his parents attended everything with their kids. Jen not so much. She probably doesn’t even realize how far removed from the “family” life she is. She relies way too much on the “family” raising her kids and being present. |

| | I love the snark on Jen... I really do. But we can’t deny she sure went over the top for the holidays for her family in a good way... she LITERALLY had every Christmas decoration possible and I think her kids would love to spend the holidays like she used to do it... even if she didn’t go crazy on gifts, the house being done from top to bottom would make special memories for her kids. 🙁 |

| | I know this is prob redundant... but I happened to be watching her old Christmas Eve vlog from 2012, omg she used to go over the top on gifts for her nieces! Wow! It’s sad to see the comparison now with her own children. Why on earth would she not do 10x that now that she has kids to spoil and watch them enjoy on a daily basis. Smh |

| | I thoroughly enjoy the Jen rewatches ... I had a sick day and got through all of this rewatch and loving the commentary. I wonder if she ever re watches these herself? |

| Good morning fellow bakers! I have been a silent reader for a while, and watched Jen since she started.
After all these years of laughs about Don and his “Tito’s & cranberry” I “bit the bullet” and bought a bottle 😂
I finally understand why he indulged all these years! I watched that stocking video after a healthy dose of Tito’s and was able to tolerate Jen (slightly) 😏
Cheers to Don and Tito’s! 🍷 |
