I’ve been reading this thread for a while (December of last year) and you guys always surprise me with how much you pick up on. I’ve been watching these two for over 8 years, and I guess I’m more of a passive watcher, or don’t care about them as people as long as it’s something mind-numbing to put on at the end of a long day of ACTUALLY working.
so much to say, but this nanny situation is truly nuts to me. I’m not a mom, but I’ve always known that I want to be one, one day. I think that if you asked any working mom, or even stay at home mom, whether they would prefer to have someone do their time consuming and at times stressful job so that they could spend more time with their kids, or have someone spend time with their kids so that they could spend more time doing their job, I feel like most would choose the former. They could have easily hired an editor, and poof, Jenn’s job is a weight lifted off her shoulders. It just brings me back to what you all have been saying is that they simply didn’t want to be parents. It was fun for them when J$ was a baby, but then he got harder to control and they stopped wanting to try.
As someone who spent MANY years in school and has a master’s degree in a field I love, I also considered the idea that maybe she still wants to be doing something in order to fulfill a purpose for herself, which fine. But clearly she’s unable to keep up. What she should do is let Tim do the parks/travel stuff M-F, and while he’s out, she could film (and begin to edit) a week long home vlog, since their home vlogs already span a few days anyway. M-F have videos with travel/parks stuff edited by a paid editor and put out in a reasonable amount of time. And then weekends can be reserved for their live shows and the home vlog that she has an entire week to put together. Or nothing at all, if they want. And if she MUST do more, she has a second channel. She hasn’t posted on that in 2 years, and then even had a 4 year break from it before that, but she could do whatever she wanted on that channel, and it would even provide more income (even though it would probably be more pocket change than anything substantial).
There’s my 2 cents. I’ll just go back to reading probably, but I’m interested to hear what anyone else thinks
