I also find this very awkward. Imagine living so lavishly in your significant others mums home and doing so little. Given the standard of everything the family eat, wear, and do, it's just not conceivable that Zak is popping out to Primark on Saturday mornings to get his jeans and socks. It's obvious that Jess' money (i.e. her mums money) is his as well. Then again, maybe I'm too judgemental, as I don't think I would find it so uncomfortable if Zak were the wealthy one sharing it with Jess...I don't really know what Zak does all day to be honest if he works for her. She doesn't upload videos regularly at all, and updates her insta sporadically. So what does he do exactly?
Also I'm sure he's a nice guy otherwise her mum would never let him be in the house and fund them both, but yeah I'm curious about the dynamics too.
Noticed this too! her mannerisms seem really different. Like she puts on a weird voice randomly for a couple of words and does a weird a scrunch up of her face idk how to describe haha. Don't mean this in a nasty way it's just something I've noticed more in her videos that she didn't used to do. She seemed much more natural on camera in her uni days.Has Jess always been this giggly in videos? I'm getting a bit tired of the forced laughter after every sentence, but then again it's kinda cute; like someone's told her to be more charismatic and she doesn't know how to.
I am INTRIGUED. Where can we find the evidence?This is COMPLETELY off current topic, but does anyone remember that American guy that Jess dated just after James and before Zak? All the viewers hated him and slated him in the comments
I remember seeing him in Vlogmas. She has since privated a couple of videos featuring him, but I'm intrigued as to why her audience didn't like him? I wasn't following her at the time, just binge-watched her old vlogs when I found her a couple of years ago.This is COMPLETELY off current topic, but does anyone remember that American guy that Jess dated just after James and before Zak?

He’s in this video!I am INTRIGUED. Where can we find the evidence?
I remember him! Pretty sure she denied they were ever dating but she went to the farm alone with him for a decent chunk of December from what I remember which seems like quite an intimate setting if you're just friends.This is COMPLETELY off current topic, but does anyone remember that American guy that Jess dated just after James and before Zak?

He quit quite a long time ago. If I remember correctly, Jess was bored sitting alone at home at night whilst he was out at his chef job and so they came to an agreement that he would quit and “work” for her.Not sure when he quit his job, but perhaps when she found out she was pregnant they both decided to split the load of parenting and work and that’s why he now works for her?
Ahh a USC exchange student. He was very confident on camera, which often doesn't translate well (nice topless shot on the second video). Glad to see Jess had her fun before settling downHe’s in this video!
And this one:
My thoughts exactly. On the one hand, women can be subject to criticism for being “gold diggers” or marrying for money. But it’s far more conventionally acceptable and traditionally seen as “natural” for women to be financially and otherwise dependent.Out of curiosity, would people be questioning what Zak was doing if the genders were reversed? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone complain about or question a stay at home mum, but always see stay at home fathers, or even just men who work for their partner be questioned.
I definitely agree with this. imo any financial dependency regardless of gender has the potential to run into issues. Like I said, I don’t want to dismiss any and all criticisms of their situation.I agree how problematic out dated opinions on gender roles are..... I also think it's fair to question why someone's partner is on the bank roll of a family member. That's not normal. Getting back to chauffer around your partner's mum, run errands, cook for relatives, etc. is quite strange no? It doesn't matter whether that person is the father or mother. Relying so much on your parnter for your income is scary.
People don’t tend to question why a man would want to marry a woman who works for him (ex. the stereotypical boss/assistant or doctor/nurse type pairings) and/or relies on him financially (stay at home mothers), but suddenly it’s an active problem when the genders are reversed.However, I don't understand why she wants to have a kid with a man who works for her and relies on her financially? And it's just a small amount of work at that. Doesn't seem a good dynamic for a relationship.
That's fair. I'll reiterate that I have no issue with Zak performing a 'househusband' role. I think mostly there's genuine curiosity around the choices Jess makes because she's so guarded about her personal life.I think it’s sensible to criticize Zak’s career choices as it’s relevant to him as an individual person, but there are certain ways (again, not to dismiss all criticisms) of judging on the basis of their relationship that rely on gender norms that really don’t do anyone any good.
Fair enough we your experience.To be quite honest, I don’t think many people her age have a set purpose right now. I’m the same age working in a graduate job with a load of other people my age, and barely any of us know what we want in the next 5 years. As someone doing it, I don’t see how a 9-5 plus busy periods, earning a half decent wage gives someone a purpose more than becoming a mother does? I’d say earning her own money (and a lot of it) is better than grinding away to line the pockets of someone else.
