Exactly. It's really ridiculous she continues to regurgitate this content when it's no longer a part of her day to day. Geez - I'm her age and my kid is in their 20s (as are most of her kids). I couldn't care less about back to school content because I don't live in that land anymore. Not a single friend of mine in my age bracket rehashes those school days when it's August. We do talk about our aging parents. We do talk about navigating parenthood with young adults. We do talk about menopause. We do talk about this time in our careers and how retirement isn't too far away. We do talk about our marriages. We do talk about politics and religion. But not a single one of us reminisces about carpooling our kids to school when they were younger. Move on. Everyone else has. |

And these topics are great and interesting to her "readers." You should be her team. |

| I will say that one person I absolutely cannot tolerate is Ree Drummond. I would listen to Jen over her all day every day. |

Agree. Plus, she does not seem invested at all in her kids' schooling and education. Seems to think it's HILARIOUS to skip homework, skip projects, skip graduation. Isn't a fan of back-to-school time, seems checked out about a month before the school year ends. I just can't relate to her apparent detachment from education, so I'd never seek her input on that topic.. |

I love Ree Drummond and I have no idea why she's hitching her wagon to the trainwreck that is Jen. Although, Jen did mention that she sends Christmas gifts to Ree, so maybe Ree hasn't seen all of the crazy yet. |

Yes, please!! Please let Jen get some legit real life content from the perspective that she's actually in- adult children, aging parents, etc. |

Let's cut to the chase. What are Jen's real options here, no filter or bullshit?
What she does possess? Hustle, she works hard Funny writer, but not so much in person Big audience What are her weaknesses? Just follows the crowd, very predictable Not a deep thinker Expert on very little Loud and brassy (and sassy) Zero self-awareness Pathological desperate need for approval and affirmation |

I don't think she "works" hard. She takes on fun speaking gigs because she likes banging on about ridiculously outdated topics. She takes 20 mins to badly film a promo for a friend's clothing line. She does plenty of things she likes to do, vs. working on other things that probably need her attention, like Remy, or her friends or getting a true partner in life. Her podcast is not well done, and has low production value. She isn't a good interviewer and doesn't seem to prepare well. |

Jen Hatmaker has never been a deep thinker and that's OK. I also don't perceive her as a hard worker. If she were a hard worker, those last two cringe sponsored videos she did would have involved her looking at the camera, doing her makeup, and doing better editing. There is no team helping her with that. There can't be. If CBD sleep gummies are paying the bills, so be it, but she's phoning even that in.
I think most of her problems go back to a lack of self awareness and the need for attention. I seriously doubt she looks at anything - her relationships, her projects, her actions - and thinks to herself "I could have done that differently or better." She's got enough people around her who tell her she's doing fine and that she's hilarious so no one is forcing her to take a hard look at her flaws. So she isn't. That podcast is a hot mess. She's so unprofessional and I don't know how she's gotten the level of guests that she has. My ninth grader who is in the journalism club can pull off a more profesh interview than she can. I don't think this giddy, girlish act is cute on anyone, even cute young things. Certainly not a 50 year old mature woman. I think Jen is beautiful. She is a funny writer. For whatever reason, her charm on the pages does not translate to on camera but if she could admit "I am not so good at this" she could be better. She could learn. As pps have said, there are things she could do differently with her hair and makeup that would make her look less rachet. A better hair color, a blending sponge and a nude lip could make even those godawful Amazon outfits bearable. She's pretty and has a nice figure. |
