Definitely thought it was interesting that this level of snark/Internet shaming was reserved for Remy and Ben. It is not fun or cutesy. It feels like a gross power move, paraded as internet fodder. The whole, "this is my house/I pay the mortgage" is gross. Of course it's yours. Your children have not launched. What does she get out of these comments, besides making her children feel small/belittled.
Optics of all this surely isn't great. Even if she has a black boyfriend. Does she know you can still be racist, even if you're dating a black man? |

Jen is so so gross. And getting grosser.
She's like a living parody of self-delusional undeserved mid-life narcissism. No woman of worth and dignity and real achievement would ever look to her for any form of aspirational goal setting. |

| Another bold parenting strategy. Advertising drinking games and terrible safety (drunk on a water slide???) with your 21 year old son who already has a DUI. |

Why would you try to picture that? |

Yeah, it’s interesting how she has totally parentified Ben for a long time. Even if he is super mature and helpful, wouldn’t you want to demonstrate that you’re not essentially making your adopted child work for love and acceptance? Then you have little Remy. Well Sydney was a remarkably easy child; Jen’s mini-me. Then you have Remy… we all know the stories that Jen has posted over the years highlighting serious issues. Jen goes from exoticizing her beauty to trashing her character, like there’s barely any middle ground. Whether intentional or not, I agree it’s a gross image for both of those kids. Only Caleb gets to be the spoilt difficult child. |

Jen and Brandon's kids get a total pass. They're good kids with all the usual young kid/adult problems. It is probably no fun shakes growing up with a mom and dad like that.
I look forward to their thriving. Despite it all. |

ah, she loves this story about herself--added it to her new website.
One time I was playing Scrabble and my opponent questioned one too many of my words, and I swept my arm across the board throwing all the tiles against the wall in a blaze of fury and walked out the front door (see: “The Strong Willed Child”). |

Precisely, Caleb is probably still on probation for his DWI and she is posting drunk videos, not to mention pictures of him clearly stoned out of his mind. Wonder what the court thinks of that? I’m not from Texas but here in Cincinnati DWI’s are taken very seriously with no room for error. Terrible parenting on her part. All of her children lack any discipline and it’s both her and Brandon’s fault. |

| Her attitude toward Caleb is a disgrace. She has brought him up to be a grown up brat who thinks rules are for other people. A DUI is a serious thing, drunk driving kills people, and no one thinks it's funny. They behave like a trashy family that you would not want for neighbors. Also, there does seem to be a lot more slack given to some kids than others. |

At this point I’m just waiting for Remy to write a tell all one day on how her (white savior) adoptive mom would, as it appears via her account, bully her all while claiming to be an “ally” and “building bridges”
I have siblings adopted from Ethiopia and they have enriched our family so much and it’s such a blessing to be part of their lives. I just can’t even begin to imagine my parents chasing them around with a phone doing a story about paying the mortgage and parking spots. It feels so icky |

I just pray that Remy is safe and will continue to be so. She’s already experienced so much trauma in her life. Then I can’t imagine being a black girl in Texas is easy. Jen constantly blasting Remy’s vulnerabilities online disgusts me. Shame on Brandon for allowing it to happen as well.
The odds are already so stacked against Remy. Why the EFF would a supposedly loving mother who’s chirped on and on about trauma over the last years be so at EASE tearing down this poor child publicly? Not only is it terrible for her self-confidence (self-confidence can help keep us safe from those who want to take advantage of us), it’s also terrible that she repeatedly puts a target on her daughter’s back. Like “Hey world and all it’s predators! Look how gullible, needy and stunted my GORGEOUS underage daughter is!” Are you effing kidding me???? And she holds herself up as some sort of authority on compassion, parenting and trauma? 🖕🏾 |

| Jen totally uses shame as a parenting tactic on her children. Public shaming no less. It’s not funny or cute. |
