Jen Lefforge #2 UnBeelievably Insufferable

She can't be bothered with mundane things so has to make it about her. And that stupid circus tent interior of her away bag.

The whole thing with her Mom. I assume she’s moving her into a care facility or something like that. But she’s being weirdly vague and over sharing about it at the same time. Either spell it out or don’t say anything at all and keep your Mom’s life private.

There's something about the way she is using her mums care and illness for promotion and engagement that doesn't sit right with me

I've gone through similar and she just feels, off

I'm not entirely sure where she's going. Prescott is not in the White Mountains in Arizona. And saying her mother got snowed in. Prescott averages 5 or 6 inches of snow in December. Is she making stuff up?

It’s all tacky and in poor taste. Now she’s ranting about some sort of senior monitor scam that a company tried to pull on her mum.
 
Why did it sound like the whole thing was just an inconvenience to her?!
Also, your coping skills are not the same as others so what you are saying is a must is not actually. And stop with the partially revealing stuff about someone who can not consent!

It’s a different culture and the country is on a different scale size wise so I acknowledge that a lot of elderly Americans will have chosen to move in retirement and will want to remain in those places. But the distance between them is like someone in the U.K. having their mother in Istanbul. You cannot be the carer and stealing that term seems unfair.

I’m sure Jen has never seen someone caring for their parent at home and that home is a small 3 bed semi with one bathroom downstairs so the parent is moved into the sitting room while school and work have to go on and everyone is stressed to bits and exhausted but wouldn’t change a thing at the same time. That’s been the experience of elder care in my family and my community so seeing someone who can and will fly away again and head off on more holidays and buy more bags and talk more nonsense about her knee and her menopause and her tits doesn’t tap deep into my empathy I’m afraid. She will have her mother in the best facility money can buy with a team of doctors and carers and since she’s 2,000 miles away they probably won’t even interrupt her sleep if her poor mother takes a turn. She certainly won’t be up all night changing her and turning her before showing up for the 7-3 shift.

But I trust Jen will preach to people like me about the experience and expect people like me to join her Patreon and fund the trips that she will of course take every time poor mum gets worse or passes away.

She seemed affronted that the care alarm company wanted to charge her mum $50 a month for the service. My mum pays £35 for hers, the NHS doesn’t cover it. I wonder if Jen thinks her mum is entitled to have it for free?

Probably. I expect she’ll think everything should be free and if it’s not she’ll immediately assume that it’s the US system and this would never happen “in Europe” and she’ll make another ill informed ignorant post.

Then she'll snap at them if they ask about her mother's condition and be miffed that she may have to go for a service or to post some things while her siblings actually take care of things with the attorney etc.

We have one of those fall lifeline things for my dad. Definitely pay monthly for it and it’s worth its weight in gold for the peace of mind.

If she actually had “real world” friends and not just the influencer arse licker crowd, she would have friends who have gone through caring for a parent or a grandparent or having them placed in a care home and this wouldn’t be so foreign and shocking to her.

And of course she could also outfit her mother (if she doesn't take it off) with an Apple watch. They have fall detection and can be set to call 911 and/or an emergency contact. But that wouldn't be free either.

According to my friend still on Patreon, apparently this journey with mom is going to be documented on YouTube. I don't want to say more than that because I do want to be respectful of SOME sense of privacy (and also I didn't ask) but apparently Patreon will just get to see those videos before the general public does. The one thing I did ask was "why" and apparently the logic that Jen posted is that not a lot of stories about this dementia journey are available for people to learn about so she wants to document it for that purpose and also just for herself too. I definitely don't want to ask about any more because I know it's very personal, but also...when you broadcast so much even on your normal channel people are going to talk, so it's just a really bizarre thing. To add, she canceled her July disney trip because of this apparently and for traveling to Arizona to see mom, and also my friend canceled her subscription. I imagine since she canceled it today, she'll still have it til the end of July but that's TBD. But just so bizarre what is being pushed out toward an audience

I’d like to think the other siblings would put their foot down but she’s probably being sneaky and only filming when she’s alone with their mother or on her own and hasn’t told them she’s going to publish their mother’s private affairs.

Absolutely disgusting and very faux Christian caring of her.

My mum is in early dementia. I cannot believe Jen will do this for clicks and cash. Heartbreaking.
