Being her friend must be EXHAUSTING.

The weird bragging about her friends is why I had to stop following her really, although there are things she's written that were really valuable to me at the time. I know people in real life like this too, that their friendships are so performative, and they're always preaching about their "framilies" and their "tribe." There's a toxic aspect to how Jen portrays her friendships, too, like "real" friends give you really elaborate and expensive gifts, that most people have no way to do. It's also unclear if she reciprocates any of this, although hopefully she does.

I agree. As someone who weathered a painful divorce without a “tribe” I found it off putting. Like she jumped fro
A codependent relationship with her husband. To one with her friends. That’s not funny or cute, it’s stunted.

Agree. She cannot be alone and independent. It’s sad.

Jen’s obnoxious constant bragging and self promotion is so tone deaf for a person who holds herself up as being deeply deeply caring and empathetic.

Truly caring and empathetic people don’t have to do this. It’s like people who always insist about how smart they are when in reality they are just about as smart as everyone else.

Exactly. Well put. She is troubled with this false humility and feigning self deprecation. It’s very transparent.

Her Caleb post keeps popping up in my social media feeds and I cringe every time I see it. That graduation story is not something I would publicly share. Is it a big deal? Certainly not in the grand scheme of life. But does it show a total disregard for everyone else there?. Absolutely.

If high school was traumatic for him, or if he didn't want to be there, he had the choice not to go. I skipped my college graduation ceremony bc I didn't care for the people I would have been walking with. But to go and then walk out halfway through? Just so shitty.

Oh my word, I hadn't seen this, so just looked it up ... I got absolute chills. There's something really unsettling about that whole video.

Another Super Sassy Tribe Best Girlfriends Ever post. Howerton, Bessey, etc., the usual crew. We get it, Jen. You have friends.

Wasn’t her son Caleb going into the military? I haven’t seen any posts about that lately.

Over a year ago (Aug 20) she posted about him getting Lasix bc he was leaving for the Navy "soon." Seems like something fell through with those plans.

i agree. the caleb graduation story is not something to brag about. it is rude. he was rude. they were rude.

i don't care if he is a wild child. if you don't want to go to graduation, don't go, but don't go and be a rude asshole after they call your precious name.

Anyone remember when she was literally trying to like link herself to Jason Sudeikis? LOL. SO THIRSTY.

Right. Like is that her absolute BESTEST GROUP OF FRIENDS in the whole wide world or is her BESTEST GROUP OF FRIENDS the ones that live within blocks of her and come over unannounced and hang out in your bed during a worldwide pandemic? Like OMG you met up with other GenX friends on a boat and listened to 90s music? How crazy! I'm sure no one else has ever done/thought of this.

Jen has friends, guys. She'll be the first person to tell you. Just ask her! Like the best friends ever. They see each other once a year and drink lots of wine and go out on a boat. They sure are sassy too. And don't get me started on how some of them like 90s Country and some of them don't! They are just cute like that.
