    Sorry Jen, but every dog I've ever known will come up to you when you're down on their level. Even cats will half the time.

    I'm still amazed how little Jen knows about dogs having owned one for a decade.

    Those are OLJ videos, aren’t they?

    Right, OLJ and a few maybe from MHWL. But all the good vlogs are gone which were all on MHWL.

    You can't move videos between channels without republishing them, which would flag them up as new. Anything there was originally on OLJ. I think there may have been a few vlogs before she decided to create a second channel.

    Are we boarding trains and such yet? If so, I’m riding shotgun in the “Tensleigh is a calculating, gold-digging little whore” grocery getter.

    #dondondaddysteak

    I'm pricing up tickets for the gold digger train. But at least they appear to have quite a bit in common so might have a shot to make it work, unlike the 19 year old Jen who just saw the condo and continued to mention it as Don's main feature for the next 15 years.

    ETA: Tens, as a divorced woman with three young kids, could do a lot worse than Don. As someone dating now, I can say he's a downright catch compared to half of what's out there in the apps. But the speed of the engagement is what is making me look at tickets, I wouldn't want to be blending young families without being VERY sure.

    Me and others did our best to support you and answer requests as they came in. So yes, I guess many of your PMs are done already. :thumbs-up: .

    Thanks to all answering requests! We all appreciate it! This is real huge and can't wait to see the pics. But I am pissed off that Don moved on so quick. I know in USA people tend to marry more quickly but I feel this is too early. they datet for what.... 3months? This girl is lucky having caught such a rich guy even having 3 kids on her own. My advice :don't ever start a youtube chanel and cook him his favourite meal every day!

    The rumour is they started dating in the summer, although I'm not sure what the proof is. Seems like she was definitely already around and serious enough to meet the fam by Christmas, and may have even gone to Utah with them then as she appears to know Jeff. It's still quick (especially compared to here in Europe where everyone seems to date 5-10 years) but doesn't seem super out of the ordinary to me.

    My main red flag would be they are only both just out of marriages, although the Rosses they've been over for a lot longer than people seem to remember. I think 2020 made time seem irrelevant, but it was over 18 months ago that Donald was Gonald.

    I like the low-key proposal. I always felt like Don's big romantic gestures were for YT's benefit more than natural interaction. They were both getting off on it, IMO.

    I haven't seen the close up of the ring but I know I wouldn't want a traditional solitaire style ring again. I'd probably skip the engagement ring all together. She does seem a bit flashy based on the engagement dress but I'm guessing everyday style as a mom to 3 will be far more casual.

    Also this has made me realise that my detective skills are sadly lacking. I've been off social media so long I've forgotten how to find anyone. :crying: But thanks to all the bakers providing the little snippets, sounds like they're happy which is all that really matters!

    Thank you for this thread title, now I know why there's been more than two threads in a day without having to read back :mfr_omg:

    Now will Jen completely disappear or go into oversharing mode to deflect?

    I don't think she's been silenced. Yes they could request the kids not to be shown but no court can control (or would care about) a grown ass woman posting shitquotes and sunsets on SM. She is CHOOSING not to post for whatever reason she's decided in her head.

    Personally, I think that she rebranded while on a post-trip high and she's crashed back to reality now realising none of the shit she posts actually aligns with this new brand. So she's not posting anything. And she's still butt hurt over the surprisingly (to her) negative reaction of a nearly 40 mother of TWO! living in the suburbs branding herself a solo wanderer.

    She should rebrand again to Jen Ross and just post her Whole Foods and Target hauls. They were the things that I found most interesting anyway, along with taking half her house on a one week Disney vacation.

    Cool! Thanks!

    New job, new house, new fiancé - that’s all way more interesting than pouting Jen.

    Ooh, new fiance? Congrats to backup! :6792:

    Been away for awhile, so much to catch up on. New fireplace looks SO much better but I still hate it because of the double box design. It's just always looked off-balance to me. But less so when not covered in a quarry's worth of Flintstone Finest.

    I don’t think the furniture was bought by the new owners, they’re not even keeping the dust off it so I’d bet it’s going to the garbage. At first it was covered but in later videos there’s demo dust all over everything, if you bought the furniture you would have moved it to the front room or garage to protect it.
    I’m on the fence about it being a flip, because why would you have an Easter egg hunt on a construction site?

    My former in-laws used to do live-in flip houses all the time until they found their forever home, including when they still had kids living at home.

    I don't think it's a flip though, it's not a good flip investment. In terms of him mentioning "the owners", I think maybe he's filming videos to use for work purposes (hence keeping the language neutral) and then reposting them on his personal page. Some of these were posted back in March - if they already had buyers before it closed, it doesn't make sense to transfer the deeds into your name - could go straight to the new owner and you just work the renovation as a contract job.

    There isn’t really any space for a woodland creatures Christmas Tree now with that bookshelf there.
    :being-confused-smiley-emoticon:

    Don't worry, the woodland Christmas tree goes by the hallway. They had their giant ugly TV unit where the new built-in is now. So still plenty of room.

    I always liked that tree, but I do have a Scandi style. :blushing-smiley-emoticon:

    Selfish. Selfish. Selfish.
    It’s dubious whether she should be travelling to different states during this time. But abroad? What a cow. I can see if restrictions are still in place her going there way of other “influencers” who say they NEED to travel for “work”
    What a joke they are.

    It's a bucket list item. It took her nearly 20 years to do a 3 hour drive in Utah, somewhere she used to visit multiple times a year. So I'd be amazed if she travels internationally any time soon.

    She's on a manic high from 3 days in a rented van. She'll be over it before the summer trip (wherever it is) even rolls around.

    There have gotta be people at the Soup Kitchen following this nonsense. Do you think the staff gather's around the Water Pump each morn and discusses Jen, with Wonder? '

    I don't think most of them know or even care enough to gossip about her. But I do wonder though why nobody has ever gotten on the bakery and said they knew her from the school. Or any of Don's work colleagues or acquaintances. I still stand by the fact that someone from those worlds could google search and find this entire page. They have to follow along...how could you NOT.

    Don's company is small and he's the CEO. No one would dare post on here, it would be way too easy to work out who it was. I don't think they're even reading though. Jen wouldn't be that interesting to casual real life acquaintances, especially to the mostly middle aged white men that make up the payroll.

    It's probably the same for the school. She's simply not involved enough to leave any kind of impression on other parents or even the staff that they would think she was worth Googling. Just another mom in the minivan queue doing dropoffs.

    Trip to Starbucks and the lake on a Sunday...what happened to the kids?????

    Does anyone in Dons family have a birthday this week? Maybe he picked them up for a family birthday party, and that’s what compelled Jen to throw a birthday party for Bunsie. Can’t let Don one up her on the fun meter, you know.

    Because Jen has overshared (fiercely private strikes again) I actually know the answer...

    It was Emily's last week, both Aunt Julie and Dave's are next week. Also Jill's is coming up soon. Would also be funny if those cupcakes were actually intended as an early birthday party for Jill and ended up being for Bunnsy instead.

    I hate that I know so much about this family, my brain could be used for far better things. :mocking_smiley_emoticon:

    so they had THREE names???

    Gosh i swear at some point she said it was ALWAYS Charlotte for a girl and Donnie Keith the 3rd for a boy

    It's Jen, you must have backups of all the things!

    In an earlier video, she said they were pretty certain on one family name (which was obviously Charlotte) but weren't sure for reasons that she wouldn't state because it would give it away. Most likely due to Princess Charlotte having just been born. I think we were running pretty even money at the time that Charlotte would be the name, Jen is far too easy to predict.

    DKRIV though - absolutely had no choice, probably decided as soon as DKRIII was named. I hope Donny rebels and refuses to use DKRV. Or at least finds a partner who says hell no to this Ross dynasty nonsense.

    Jen actually had a To Do list when CC was a baby that read

    "Love the baby"

    That's some weird chit and screams unattached mother

    Maybe someone will insert the exhibit as proof

    I can't find the written one, but here's the spoken version - around the 17 minute mark...

  14. .
    When Jen first shared about Bunnsy a couple of months after introducing, she was so proud that CC had already transitioned to only needing it to go to sleep. When did the manic insistence (by Jen) that Bunnsy be there at all times begin? Guessing it was around when she found out she was having the heir, so no longer needed the spare. Poor CC.

    I can't decide if Gravy singing to Bunnsy was a cute grandfather thing or any excuse for attention. But I do think the whole party was Jen showing she absolutely can be both a solo mama and traveller. And probably showing she can be the "fun parent" after the kids likely going on non-stop how much they loved spring break at Daddy's. Either way, I predict lots of kid content coming in for the haters.

    I have saved my children’s favourite stuffies, don’t ask me why. Just a couple or three for each child. Even they don’t know I have saved them. I’m sure I’ll get the side eye when they find out.

    Regarding the rebrand, I was relieved that we were not going on a journey this time. I guess we are, after the fact.

    I side-eyed my mother for doing this for a good 25 years but now I think I might appreciate it. Even though I live in another country and have no intention of going to get them, I kind of like that they're there. :mocking_smiley_emoticon:
