^^ Funny thing is, Jenelle went on a little Twitter rant yesterday saying that Jace knows all about court because of Babs. And that Babs shouldn't have talked to Jave at the restaurant (she shouldn't have). But Jenelle clearly doesn't remember all the times, including the prior episode, where she tries to prompt Jace into saying he wants to live with her!
And side note. So Jenelle was pretending to it be pregnant when showing Babs and Jace her swamp? When she was wearing a skin tight dress and her 5 months pregnant belly was hanging out?! |
A friend of mine worked in the cannabis industry, knows a TON about it, and smoked through both her pregnancies. Both her kids came out fine. Her oldest is on honor roll. Weed is not crack. Jace is behind because nobody is focusing on teaching him things. Nobody is saying "That's too messy to turn in, re-write it." or "Pronounce your words properly." |
Teacher here: I disagree. |
Did anyone else notice how much he was blinking when he was talking to Barb during that scene, too? Also most like he had a tic or something. I feel so bad for that kid. I think Barb is doing a decent job, but she still gets in those shouting matches with Jenelle in front of him. |
| Poor Jace, both try to coerce him into thinking he wants to be with one over the other, but I think deep down, he wants to be with Babs. They are both unstable, but I think if Jenelle were to fall off the face of the earth tomorrow, he'd be just fine. He is bonded with his Meme; Jenelle is a novelty. And I don't think Jenelle wants Jace any more than he wants her, she just wants to win. |
| I think Jace definitely wants to be with Barb full time, if only because that's all he's ever known. To change would be a huge thing. I mean, ask Isaac and if he'd rather be at Jo's full time and Kail's on weekends, he'd probably say no, and he loves Jo. They just likes the routine, and while Barb is far from perfect, she has provided Jace with routine that he can count on. Jenelle honestly doesn't even seem to be that fun of a parent. They took that Florida trip, but other than that... she's not the "Disneyland parent" that gets to pump the weekend full of fun stuff and then dump the kid at the other parent's house for boring stuff like baths and homework. Jace is just... there... while Jenelle and Dave exist. at least he has Maryssa to play with (and Maryssa has him--her life is probably equally fucked up). If there's ANY "good" thing about Dave being around, it's that Jace gets a playmate his own age. |
| I remember reading somewhere that Jace was diagnosed with ADHD and finally takes medication now. That would make sense since I remember Babs telling Jenelle about him getting trouble at school/daycare. Maybe the crappy writing was before he started meds. My DS has ADHD and his handwriting was so bad before he started taking meds. |
There's something more going on as well. At the most recent filming they did in the fall, Javi accidentally recorded Barbara on his snap chat. She was telling Dr Drew that Jace was being treated for hearing voices and some other things. |
Really. It seems plausible. |
I saw the video before Javi deleted it. She didn't mention a diagnosis. Just said that he has been hearing voices and was being treated for it. It was part of her discussion with Dr Drew when Dr Drew was asking how Jace was doing after his ADHD diagnosis. |
Mental illness gallops in that family. Poor Jace. |
Now that you mention it, he does seem off. Sort of joyless. Empty eyes. He never looks happy. |
I think the guy was Javi's friend or relative, there to gather Javi's things. |
No, that was Kail's new man. He was taking his things out of the back of her truck and putting them in the house. They only showed him when Jo came for Isaac. Javi was long gone. |
Even better! Hustling your husband out of HIS house to move your new man in! Causing unnecessary emotional harm to your son in the process! Nice! |
