.You know, I kind of relate to Jen. Hear me out.
I'm a content creator. I have a YouTube channel, I live stream, my husband is involved in it. I also am a stay at home to my kids. I'm at a point where I'm getting ready to start something new and figuring out what I really want to do and how I want to pivot and how I do all this while being a good mom. Its a lot of figuring out how to do all of this.
I recently traveled alone to a friend's wedding. And for a couple of days I could focus on my friend and enjoying the moment. And not have to do the hard work of figuring out my life.
Unlike Jen, I don't have the luxury of working out for 5 hours a day. I don't have the luxury of traveling every weekend. I'm still married to my cager and I am. The primary care giver for my kids.
But the thought of being able to travel as an excuse to not have to deal with my stuff. I can stay at an air BNB or hotel and not have to think of my messy house (messy in that I live with people who don't have the same standards of neat as me 😂😂).
But also, if I had her income, I would do so much to make my house cozy. I would hire help with the kids. I would make my life so cushy that I wouldn't want to escape every weekend.
So in some ways, I get it. And others, it makes no sense.
I'm confused 😕 Why would she need help with the kids when she doesn't have a physically demanding job and only has them a few hours a week when they are awake?
I'm speaking from my own perspective of my kids are older than hers and are involved in sports and music. So between driving to lessons and practices, I spend a lot of time in the car waiting. I try to bring work with me, or use the time to read. But it would be nice to be able to have help carting the kids everywhere.
(though husband has been working less so he'll sometimes come and sit with the kids so I can go home and chill).
So I wasn't saying her specifically, but if I had her resources, what it would be nice to be able to do for my life.. -

I don't know, I don't post very often because I'm so uneloquent and don't always communicate my thoughts well 😂
Back to lurking. -

Great point!. -

MysteriousFriendRachel But you bring “work” or “read” - those are 4-letter words to Jen. She has nothing pressing to do.
Jen doesn’t work and the she has been reading the same book about how to do nothing for months now.
I can pretty much guarantee that she will not be ferrying the children to extracurriculars in the first place.. -

If Jin is taking The Children on the Wish tomorrow, they could easily go to the Pirate Party. It is at 7:30, a modified for kids one and repeated later, more grown up version and then Fireworks. All over before 10. Then a dance party, so she can manage to get them in bed early enough skipping the later stuff. I would love to see her on the ship with them. Her own private cluster F. . -

Jenny could get herself an au pair to do a bit of everything.
Live in, cleaning, cooking, babysit when needed etc
Maybe an Italian....... -

But then the au pair would be privy to Jen’s disordered eating and exercising. Jen couldn’t have that. . -

No way, she is a control freak and way too rigid. It is her way or no way. The schedule can not change.
I believe that she has real issues with the fact that D&T do not follow any of her requirements for child care, meals, etc.
Although an Italian au pair would be perfect.. -

An Italian au pair that bluntly tells her she’s eating too much would be fabulous!
I imagine that if Jen ever did hire help, she would be an Emily Gilmore whose help was always quitting.. -

I have custody/divorce question
If custody is 50/50 but one parent works and the other doesn't, what does the working parent do with the children while they are at work? (lets say they are not yet in school, or only in school half day, etc)
Because it seems silly for the working parent to have to hire help when there is a parent who could care for them during that time?
(( this is mostly in general and not really related to Jen, per se )). -

1. The arguing about “lesbophobia” needs to stop. Now.
2. We are ready for a new thread title.. -

We can stop with all the arguing and *wondering* about Jen’s sexuality. I’ve found Jen’s soul mate!
