Questions I’d like to ask Jen (beyond the obvious):
How did you manage to convince yourself you were a “busy bee” when you had no adult responsibilities?
Chicken or egg? Were you nuts before you thought it was normal to sit around doing nothing for over a decade, or did sitting around for over a decade doing nothing drive you nuts?
When did you realize you were just another struggling single mother? Did you wake up alone one day in your mortgage-free million dollar+ home, survey the tens of thousands of dollars worth of high-end stuff you’d accumulated, and say to yourself, “Dang, the generous support checks will only go so far. I hope the soup kitchen will also teach the kids to sew their own clothes. We can’t all afford Vineyard Vines and it’s important to be gentle with myself during my journey through this season of life changes!”
What self-help book convinced you that doing laundry and tidying up (as a self-proclaimed housewife) was unfairly stealing your “me me me!” time, even though your kids were at school five mornings a week? And can you send me a copy so I can work on “choosing myself” for a change?
You’re so brave and busy! How do you find time and energy to create such riveting content for us such as your monthly favorites and your multiple daily workout stats? Oh, and TFS! -
.
So Jen won’t be sharing much about her “life changes” other than her feelings.
Nothing new to see here, folks. Just another episode of The Jen Show. -

This is probably an unpopular opinion, so be gentle with me.
I’m in no way minimizing PPD. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. But Jen has a medical professional for every perceived ailment. I find it hard to believe she wouldn’t tell her OB or her therapist if she was having a mental health crisis after childbirth. I mean she has no trouble telling the entire world she has anxiety, so I don’t think she would have trouble admitting something was wrong (although I do believe she would avoid admitting she wasn’t loving motherhood).
I’m not convinced she was suffering from anything more than selfishness.
If Jen was unhappy after giving birth, I believe it was simply the loss of having ME ME ME time 24/7. Especially when Don was called to duty as CEO, leaving Jen to actually have big-girl responsibilities. And maybe in the midst of buying appropriate underwear for all occasions, she somehow forgot her big-girl panties. -
.Was t that eternity band a gift from Don when she got PG with Donny? I don’t think she’s had it 4.5 years.
It was a 10 year wedding anniversary band. But now she’s saying it represents all the shit she’s been through or something.
whatever suits her narrative at the moment. Unsure why a 10 year anniversary band would make more sense to wear than a regular wedding band while you’re in the middle of a divorce.
My thoughts exactly! And especially since she herself called it an “eternity ring”. Why continue to wear a ring that is meant to signify your ETERNAL love for someone after you filed for divorce from him? Wear your plain band if you need to keep the dudes and fellers off.
But of course Jen just wants to wear her expensive band of diamonds and will justify it any way she can, however ridiculously illogical it looks to anyone with common sense. -
.Alert: she’s addressed the wedding bands in her new Instagram post.
I love her excuse for continuing to wear the eternity band. Sounds like BS. If I felt the need to continue wearing anything until the divorce was final it would be the wedding band, not the diamond eternity band. She just wanted to wear the prettiest, most expensive band. -
.
The hand photo is up on Insta, complete with a bunch of journey nonsense. -
.I would have inserted the screen shot from her stories but I have no idea how to post pictures here from my iPhone. Sorry.
-
.Remember the three planner girls who showed up for Jen’s birthday!?
Well it’s Jeanette’s Birthday TODAY and Jen says zilch while the OTHER planner girl Naina made a very sweet post with pics

Someone who reads here must have alerted her to her oversight. She just posted on Insta. -
.
I can’t argue with that. 🙂 -
.
Why are we questioning Don’s parenting? He had 12 years of practice with little Jen. -
.
“It focuses me back to time management”, says Jen, as she describes using a huge chunk of her life playing grownup with her stickers and planners.
I was close to
about 9 minutes into her video where she talks about agonizing over how to plan for planning in her planner.
No disrespect to those who use planners. My daughter always has one. But she works and raises three young children, including pickup and drop off at school and cooking meals every day. -
.She is stressed because her videos are forced upon her. She knows that if she doesn't post anything, her subscribers will leave.
She is punishing her viewers with the whining that she is not ready to make a video,and purposefully appearing disheveled .The woman is truly 5 years old.
Jen enjoyed YT because she used to have a nice life and was desperate to brag about it. She was happy as a pig in poo and couldn't wait to share.
Well now life is far from pretty neat and she is not thrilled to share the misery, but not ready to lose YT income either. The sad part is, she now has the opportunity to really be herself and make a bundle. Shame she refuses to grow up.
[bolding mine]
All of this is sooo true!
YouTube used to be so much more fun for her when she was younger (& prettier) & had so much stuff to show off. I think, even when she was pregnant w/ CC & right after CC was born, she thought her life would carry on as before... but quickly learned it would not.
She could have so much fresh new content, but life isn’t very fun for her right now. And, suddenly, what was a fun hobby has become a “job”.
Jenn doesn’t do jobs & gets really stubborn, passive-aggressive, & whiny she feels pressured into anything resembling a “job”.
I totally agree with you both. And “happy as a pig in poo” made me do a coffee spit take.

On Instagram she’s addressing a “constructive criticism” that a viewer likes her videos but is tired of her putting herself down. And according to Jen, her lack of self-confidence is why she doesn’t do many selfies.
First, she only seems to acknowledges “criticism” that makes her appear humble or a victim. Princess JMoney will never be either in my mind.
Also, I can’t comprehend how one can supposedly have low self-confidence that makes selfies uncomfortable but posts themselves talking to the camera day in and day out.
Is it just me? -

“I bought a whole buncha cards ‘cause I gotta whole buncha special ladies to thank.”
I saw three cards.
And did she even bother to brush her three hairs before she went shopping? -
.
I know we all bring our own baggage to The Bakery (not always organized neatly in packing cubes😉), so we find Jen annoying for different reasons.
So today I’m especially disgusted about her laziness. I’ve spent the past week running all over my state trying to find a used car for my granddaughter since the one she had died. We’ve also been visiting colleges. I do my own housework, work part time...and still manage to chop my own fruits and veggies. Not to mention the extra cost associated with convenience foods.
More power to you if you have housekeepers, children spending all morning in the soup kitchen (hey, why aren’t they doing the chopping they’ve been trained for?!), and money to buy fresh flowers and pre-cut out-of-season fruit. Just don’t expect this tired old lady to feel sorry for your “struggles”.
