When she starts crying about the kids getting 2 weeks solo with Don, she says she wishes she could have them all the time but it’s not good for them and it’s not good for….
And she stops herself from saying it’s not good for her. She almost said it out loud. Wow Jen.. -
.
LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I love the waiters telling her she ordered too much food. Then her looking crestfallen when she thinks there's not enough.
Jen: Excuse you. How DARE you!!!. -

24 mins and 32 seconds when all the others have been around 10-12 mins. Yeah she definitely combined the last couple she was planning to release. I bet she originally planned it to be 10 parts. Lawd spare us! . -
.I'd NEVER go to Italy and consider sleeping in a van.
I’ve done it in a camper van. Quite a few times. We do a combination of agritourismo, campsites and just parking in permitted public places which there are many of in Italy.
Jen should have done more research.. -
.
And it wasn’t even one waiter. It was multiple waiters who said it. She must have been ordering multiple courses like she did with Don.

She is a hot mess! . -

She sounds like my mother in law. Completely hyper focused on her “soloness”. Everyone is being rude to her because she’s solo, everyone is looking at her because she’s solo. Everything is because she’s solo.
She has zero identity outside of having been a wife. And I maintain that’s the true reason for her extreme avoidance of people now. She feels like a loser. She thinks people look down on her. She would never opt to sleep in cars and vans if she was coupled up. It’s hilarious.
And now she is talking about driving through mountains on a motorcycle. She really is looking for something to put her out of her motherhood and solo misery.
I haven’t got to the crying yet but no surprise. Time to go back to being a (part time) mom!. -
.
I’m just wondering if eventually they will change the schedule to be one week with Don in one week with Jen??
I can’t imagine kids in upper grades going back-and-forth every other day. -
.
Jen.
SHUT. UP.
We don't want to hear you bitch about your life any more.. -

Maybe that’s why she was asking about leather jacket recommendations the other day. The next incarnation of Jen:
Biker Chick Mama.
If I could photoshop her on a Harley, I would!. -

The best part is the humble brag about the dozens of luxury resorts she’s stayed it so they are familiar. But her advice to herself would be to van camp, stay at hostels every few nights for a shower and rent a motor bike that she admits she doesn’t know how to ride.
Then do it Jen. Instead of woulda, coulda, shoulda DO IT next year. Ms Big Talker.. -

Looking at a grotte with a statue of Virgin Mary and plaques about (I assume) hikers who died.
*films it*
"That's intense".
Maybe, if this is your only comment, don't film it??
I'm kinda angry at her for that. It's disrespectful to the dead and the families, IMO.

.21 minutes she finally acknowledged the kids and how she hates that he gets 2 straight weeks with them, solo, in Utah. Thus the tears.
So much for going to Utah with the fam jam. Little did she know that another woman was going to take her place.. -
.
Can’t wait for biker gang Jen.
Will she go though all of the mid life crisis cliché.. -

I'm not sure about Jen and Don. Maybe at one time she loved him. Was she ever in love with him? Who knows.
I think Don gave Jen purpose. To go grocery shopping, change light bulbs, organize this or that, make spinach squares for the family, make Easter bread, host a gathering, make this or that appetizer, decorate for holiday, purchase full size candy bars, go holiday gift shopping, wrap holiday gifts, etc.
Divorce pulled the rug out from the laundry list of activities that gave Jen purpose. She is aimless and directionless, literally and figuratively. She can't focus on one YT path for any period of time - organizing, hauls, Disney, travel, races, changing her channel name, having to put forth a this-is-the-new-theme-for the channel, solo traveler, going on all these trips in the van, tent, shack, now Italy, etc. She doesn't even have her kids for half the time (and maybe that's her self fulfilling prophecy), so how is she going to spend her days?
I think she's basically phoning in her videos. 8 - 10 min clip of her day. 5 hours of exercise/mediation by peloton count. Eating PBJ in hotel by herself. Turned off comments, turned off likes. Oblivious to content suggestions.
Who is her audience in her own mind? Maybe just herself and the few people that give her head pats.
Part 8 – the smile at 4:42. So forced and contrived. Maybe she is trying to will herself into happiness?
She felt like a fish out of water at the hotels. Maybe because most of the hotel guests she observed were traveling with companions and/or families and she was alone. There…she said it. She felt alone by herself. At restaurants. She came across zero solo travelers. She wants to camp if she returns to the area so she won’t have to be subjected to travelers with companions or families.
It is what it is..
