    Thank you.

    My Mother was 87, she had a long, active and happy life.

    Still hard to deal with, though x

    Remember when Jen posted this photo on IG back in March?

    JMASx0K

    She describes these women as her 'close circle of girlfriends'. I think Jen has a different definition of that than I do. Since then Jen hasn't been involved in any of Laken's wedding planning or anything to do with her other friends or family - she hasn't even been mentioned. Jeanette hasn't shown any signs of life since June, and Naina is completed deleted off Instagram. Jen hasn't had any obvious contact with any of them since her divorce announcement.

    I would love to know what happened between them. Are they even still communicating? They certainly haven't spent any time together in months. I know obviously the pandemic would prevent that, but my understanding is that rules about mixing aren't as strict in the US as they are here in Europe.

    yep-Jen has no concept what a friend is(Its NOT your Nail tech that you paid to go on a trip with you)
    But Laken is a real friend to Naina-her husband posted the yard signs Laken had installed in their yard when Naina graduated and finished her Internship in the Spring
    I noticed that both Laken and Jeanette follow her husband, Jen doesnt

    I love Jen’s post. She left off stuff at the end. Except I will never be friends with them like most people have friends. The must only be friends to me, not with me. They must always fawn over me, telling me how hard my life is, how awful my ex husband was, what beautiful children live in my beautiful house, even tho I am expected to care for them.

    I was just thinking- it's ridiculous that some rando judge is presiding over their divorce. Not to mention the attorneys that poor Jen shouldn't have to explain things to. We don't need things explained to us. We are expert witnesses to the entire marriage, as well as its demise. In closing, who better to determine the terms of their divorce than us!

    Yes! The drama, the theatrics - and that’s just from the Bakery members. I object, your Honor! Ms Ross clearly stated, “I own care!”

    Hmmmm on my "recommended" videos on youtube this morning was one of Jenn circa 2014 going to some sort of wellness retreat in Arizona. Is it possible she is going there again during her time away? Didn't she say she needed a getaway or something?

    I do think Jen went downtown to meet Laken that ONE day she left her house (wearing knee high boots in Sept). The timing matched up too well with Laken talking about how she met up with friends over the weekend while she was in Chicago. I'm sure Jen pushed them all away once it came time to move because she is incapable of juggling more than one thing at a time.

    I love to decorate for Christmas! Love it! When we first got married and had our kids, I didn't work, so we were on a tighter budget. We would buy 2 nice decorations each year (not tree stuff, we bought all of that right away) that would last. We didn't buy a bunch of cheap stuff. I always liked quality over quantity. We have many of those items still, 34 years later! Several years back, my mom passed away on Christmas Eve and I have to admit that Christmas was a sad time for me for a few years. I didn't want to decorate or celebrate. But, I did! I had kids and grandkids and I wanted to do it for them. I sort of "fake it till you make it" kind of celebrated. You know what? It helped me to see THEM so happy. Am I still sad about my mom? Of course I am! But, I love my family that are HERE and I want to make amazing memories for them, to have. Someday they will be celebrating with their own families and I will be gone. I want them to remember these Christmases and SMILE, knowing I did all I could to make it special for them.

    Beautiful 🥰

    My parents did the same. I still have some of Grandma's glass baubles from 1910 ISH.

    My Mother just passed away this week and I have been thinking about this coming Christmas as well as Christmases past and all the effort that went into tasteful decorating of the house.

    You certainly have the Spirit of Christmas

    I'm so sorry for your loss! It's hard to celebrate a holiday after a loved one has passed away. Definitely pull out those old Christmas items and try to focus on good memories. I have things that belong to my great grandmother. One is her Nativity set. The figures are about 12'' tall and some of them are missing fingers or are chipped, but I still bring them out every year and say a prayer for the family members who have passed away.

    That's what I was thinking. That spa visit was shortly after her "poop hit the fan" comment that she made in a vlog.

    ConfusedLikeJen, I’m so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult it is to lose a parent.

    I think in that post Jen did with Laken et al, the key is where she said, “they give me the gifts of their loving kindness, generous hearts, fierce loyalty, and fiery spirits each and every day,”. Note how it begins.....”THEY give ME...”. It was a one way street, as are all of Jen’s relationships. Jen has no idea how to be a friend to someone else. Here’s a hint, Jen: You have to be giving to others, not just take from them, and the giving part is not about giving people overly elaborate gift baskets or other material efforts.. You have to be there for them, listen to them, be a shoulder for them to cry on, take an interest in their interests, celebrate their achievements, offer a helping hand when they need it either physically or emotionally, and not turn everything about them or the relationship around to be about you, and your needs.

    ConfusedLikeJen My heart goes out to you.

    Jen always comes on too strong with friends. You don't need to put up posts declaring your love, wax poetic in videos, or send extravagant gift boxes. Just let things grow organically for crying out loud.

    She scares people off with the Single White Female of it all.

    It’s so sad. She doesn’t know how to make friends, and she’s pushing 40.

    Making (new) friends is hard
    All of the best friends I've met since I graduated high school I met at work
    GET A JOB JEN

    I will say, to us normals it seems sad that Jen has no friends, but Jen does not want friends
    It's why youtube is her perfect scenario
    You have to work at friendships, and make an effort, and think about someone else from time to time
    Jen can't even do that for her biological Children, she'll never do it for a friend
