Tim can prepare butter for his son to eat apparently.She was upset cause she just couldn’t bring herself to cook dinner. You have to wonder if Dimmy contributes to that guilt. He doesn’t seem to be able to cook a damn thing but frozen waffles & a smoothie. He seems to never make lunch. The last thing a mother of a newborn should be concerned about is making every meal.
I haven’t watched the vlog yet but has she had any vistors (not paid nanny)? Friends of hers popping in while Tim is out filming and making coffee for her while chatting a chat? I doubt it. It’s no wonders she’s struggling to watch the footage of Tim out at the carnival having fun. I know she’s burnt her own bridges with friendships but you can see why she would be strugglingI may not have the most popular opinion about some of this, and that is ok. However, I won't begrudge any woman who just had a baby from feeling blue or going through very mild to difficult PPD. It happens, and it isn't all related to common sense ideas like "I have it easy and therefore should shut up and be happy."
Yes, Jenn has it easy compared to most new moms, but the baby blues can still happen to anyone regardless. Cluster nursing, being with the baby all day and every day (yes, even when you 'signed up for it') can be difficult and mentally challenging. It doesn't matter if you are well-off, never had to work, work all the time, struggle financially, etc. - it happens regardless.
The thing with Jenn that bothers me is that had she dealt with her anxiety years ago and was an independent woman before having kids, she would be in a better state now with the FOMO and "me time" stuff. She has to rely on her husband to do that for her (for years and years). Before I had my kids, I was working (and continued to work) full time, drove myself places, went out by myself to shop for baby items or decor items or groceries, and I went out with friends and not my entire family or my husband. That was my "me time" that she is currently desperately craving. Also, her isolation from other people, family, and not having close mom friends makes this even worse. She should be out meeting up with friends in the morning to walk the babies in the stroller and chat. Maybe invite a friend over to hang out at the house, have lunch, confide stress to, etc.
I wonder if she fully communicates this stuff to Tim, or if these vlogs are how she does it. She films these crying sessions when he isn't around, and pours her heart out to the viewers awkwardly, while Tim says it was a great day and downplays everything when he is back on camera with her. Does he even know she puts this stuff out there?
p.s - I am not saying she wouldn't have baby blues or PPD if she just hung out with friends. I just think her FOMO is something that could be helped if she had her own things to do and her own friends, AND drove.
100%They don’t seem like they do any communicating and when they do, neither listens to the other. And neither have the ability to empathize. This is a hot mess. Even the healthiest of relationships can be strained during periods like this, and I don’t know how they can deny they don’t resent each other. What they have isn’t love, it’s just unhealthy codependency.
Also holy tit on that amount of butter. This whole family is just so nasty and unhealthy.
Yep. She had to day to herself and couldn't come up with anything fun to do. She convinced herself that was due to needing to run 3 loads of laundry and 2 loads of dishes. Those of us who actually adult know that those types of chores actually take very little time and effort. It's a very sad excuse from a very lonely isolated person.It’s definitely FOMO, but I think there was a minute of honest sadness in there too. She has no one outside Tim and the kids. We’ve said it here before, not one real female friend to confide in. I think she just realized it. Not knocking having male friends, but sometimes you need a female who can relate. She said she wanted her day to herself to do something. Well what? All she had to do was chores, because she has no one to ring up and be like let’s go for a coffee. Come over and see the baby. It’s pretty sad. Just my opinion. Not even like she can go for a drive by herself. I’d crack up in that situation
If you can’t bear the thought of your husband going off to ‘work’ and leaving you to look after the ‘miracle’ children why in the name of god did you ever have children in the first place? My husband went off at 8am and came home at 6pm, I often didn’t have access to our car but I did it. This is what mums around the world do day in day out. What makes it so hard for you Jenn? You need to grow up, and quick. You’re supposed to be the adult here.She is unreal complaining about Tim going out and having “fun” while she is home with a new baby. Going out to film is his job. Every video can’t be a Target and Olive-Garden-Diarrhea video. She is so damned spoiled.
Jackson is not having a hard time adapting, he’s just 3, Jenn is.
He's comparing a three week old who drinks only boob juice/formula with a three year old who's picky as three year olds can be, I remember mine liking something her dad had for lunch and he had leftover for dinner and she declared it yucky.Oh no, no, no, no. Tim, you bleeping asshole. Your baby is 3 weeks old. You did NOT compare your children and imply that $liver is better than J$. duck you, you stupid duck. Jenn: J$ is a picky eater. Tim: Do you know who is not picky? This guy. $liver. J$ CAN HEAR YOU!!!! You are already doing real damage to that kid. What the actual duck is wrong with these people?!?!
And J$ is a picky eater because of you. Because you make him the same brown tit separate from the meals you eat . Because you have some weird insane food obsession with him. He picks it up from you.

Are there no mother & baby groups in the US? We have post natal groups here in the U.K. where you’re put in touch with other mums in the same position with the same age babies. It can be a life saverEven if she’s unwilling to drive (frankly if I was that desperate to ditch my baby and I didn’t drive it sure would light a fire under my ass to get back behind the wheel but I guess she’s waiting until beyond rock bottom to get there if ever), she could pick up some hobbies besides scrolling Instagram, shadowbanning and binging Bravo.
Have Dim drive you to a nursery and pick up some cacti or succulents to nurture (maybe that would inspire her to be more maternal? Nah.) Have Dim drop you off at a shelter to volunteer and meet people besides thirsty stans. Take an Uber to the library (since she’s such a voracious reader you guyzzzz, she maybe read half a book in Hawaii!) and check out books or see what activities they offer - libraries are such an underutilized resource. Do some scrapbooking. Learn a new language.
I know, I know, this is all way too much beyond her. If she doesn’t get her ass in therapy to hear from someone besides enabling and coddling Dim and the stans, I don’t know how she doesn’t end up becoming like an unlikeable beyond-stupid version of Brendan Fraser’s character in The Whale.
I think the issue here is that Jenn doesn’t want time to herself, she wants time, away from the house, with Tim. And I do understand this, wanting one on one time with just your spouse and not the kids but most parents with two small children are not getting a whole lot of time to just themselves.Are there no mother & baby groups in the US?
