Jan 13– but I’m not looking that hard. So could be repost.

The only person I see wearing a brace on their right hand is T’s mom………Gene is over compensating with all the posts bc she can’t stand how close her exes wife’s mother is to her children!

I see the message on her last IG post re the last Disney trip and asking if a vlog was coming has been deleted

Several threads ago, when Tensleigh 1st appeared on the scene for real, I said something about how I didn’t think really any of the adults in the situation had necessarily put the kids (all 5 of them) first in most of the decisions that were being made regarding divorces & remarriages & living arrangements, & I still don’t think the kids were given much consideration when it came to how things were possibly affecting them during what were some very big changes for them.

(And I will die on the hill that Don jumping on Tinder w/ his “I think I’m so sexy in bed” pic as a guy “rapidly shedding his dad-bod looking for a polyamorous relationship” before his 1st marriage was officially over was not a cool or very considerate move for a dad w/ 2 young children.)

That said, from the little we’ve seen of Tensleigh, there are things that make me hopeful she is an involved & engaged parent & will make a decent step-mother.

I like that the house they chose had plenty of bedrooms for everyone - so, even though Donny & CC aren’t there full-time, they can still have their own spaces & not feel like they’re sharing or just “guests” or afterthoughts in their dad’s new home w/ his new wife. Plus, the house has a nice, big yard w/ a pool. I like that Tensleigh includes CC & Donny in the coordination of outfits for special occasions. She seems to get along really well & naturally w/ Don’s family.

I also like to think that Tensleigh’s pic showing her cat makeup for Halloween was maybe because she was matching CC’s chosen cat-mermaid costume.
