I 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.

Not only does Tim allow Jackson to slather the butter on his waffle.
