| Hi there. She’s a former Christian mommy blogger who flamed out but reinvented herself and is somehow still hanging on. Shilling crap and being weirdly smug. She’s insufferable and wildly inauthentic. Just got a deal with Oprah to talk about loving our bodies (which she NEVER talked about before) and now effing Anne Lamott, a good novelist!, was on her stupid podcast. It’s just a wonderful thread hating on her. Welcome. |

Let me get this straight….
1. Jen (middle-aged adult) is leaving for a big trip in 8 hours yet hasn’t packed because of overcommitting and self-admitted poor planning AND 2. Jen angrily told Remy that she had BETTER be home by nine to get her “sh—“ packed or else she is going to flip out AND…. 3. Jen says its-not-my-problem - its-Remy’s problem-i’m-co-dependent-no-more AND… 4. Jen acknowledges that its probably no big deal if Remy just throws a few essentials in a backpack AND 5. what other human on the planet repeatedly needs to rent an INDUSTRIAL SIZE DUMPSTER (?) in order to clean their (already neat and tidy) smallish house that has already been cleaned out (with industrial sized dumpsters?!) several times in recent years AND 6. Remember last years vids where Jen COULDN’T STAND to have even a few pairs of Remy’s shoes laying around her perfectly neat and tidy house? and the one where she completely cleaned her garage and threw everything out? but suddenly her house is filled with enough junk to require an INDUSTRIAL SIZED DUMPSTER? To clean out her “junk drawers” such? Seems like filling a couple trash bags and a couple donate bags might be enough? AND 7. Since when does recognizing and working on codependency issues involve ceasing to lovingly parent your teenage daughter - your last one - baby of the family - darling girl who has some challenges (don’t we all) etc etc she speaks about her child with such contempt! I would be nervous for her, excited for her, probably hovering a bit, maybe teary, as it is such a grown-up thing to do at 18, go off backpacking in another country with big sis - even if you know they are ready, what mother acts this way? |

Imagine what a smug middle aged influencer would look like, someone with the total lack of self-awareness to write a "manifesto" about life, work, love, and "all the things" right before her own marriage collapsed in a fiery heap. Fierce, Free, and Ful of &*^%.
That's Jen. I don't think I've ever seen anyone with Main Character Syndrome worse than Jen Hatmaker. |
| I honestly don't understand why there isn't more push-back about how elitist Me Camp is. Are her followers mostly upper-middle class, or aspiring to be in JH's financial position of taking an entire month off to rest? I truly wonder how her followers find her useful as any sort of guide--? |
| I wonder if the industrial-sized dumpster is just her exaggerating again. She didn’t post a picture of it, and when she talked about what she threw out, she literally mentioned things like junk drawers, ummmmm how big are these junk drawers????? 🤔🤥 |
She orders in a dumpster like once a year it seems. How much crap can 2 people accumulate in one year to require a fresh dumpster… |
|
She posted a video - it is an industrial sized dumpster. A biggie.
I just don’t understand. This is the 3rd dumpster she has rented in the last few years. How can there still be so much stuff to throw away? |
| Maybe she’s having to buy a ton of the crap she’s selling. Maybe it’s a pyramid scheme! |
| Still, if it’s stuff she has just accumulated in the last year, you’d think she would donate it - can she have that much stuff that is actual trash?? |
| Ok…I think I’ve seen the infamous bikini pics, but someone help me out. I don’t know what to look for on the belly button. I don’t see anything weird about it in any of the pics. BBs are essentially scars anyway, so I don’t know what to look for. |
| How has no one called her out on whatever habits are leading to needing multiple dumpsters? Even if she hadn't literally written a book on "excess" it's not environmentally OR financially responsible to behave like this. What in the world???? It's seriously concerning behavior. If someone in my life was acting this way we'd be talking about it. |

AI is really good at this.
Sure, here’s an example of how you might write this invitation in Jen Hatmaker's style: --- Hey Friends! It’s that time of year again – Me Camp! 🎉 This is the one week where we let our hair down, wear our comfiest sweatpants, and just BE. Now, I know some of you are already planning what to pack and others are frantically searching for that list I sent last year (yes, it’s still at the bottom of your inbox). But this year, I've got a few updates you won’t want to miss. First things first, we’ve got a third dumpster for junk this year. Yes, THIRD! I know how much joy it brings us to Marie Kondo our lives into those dumpsters. So bring all the stuff that no longer sparks joy – the third dumpster awaits! Now, let’s talk about the heart of Me Camp. Many of you know my sweet Remy, and I want you to know just how much I truly care about her. She's been my rock, and seeing her flourish brings me immense joy. This journey has been incredible, and you all are a part of it. And oh, my heart is overflowing with love for my new daughter-in-law. She’s the kind of person you meet and instantly know she’s family. Watching her and Remy together has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. I can't wait for you all to meet her and see how she lights up our lives. So, pack those bags, gather your junk (the emotional and the physical), and get ready for a week of laughter, love, and probably a few tears. Me Camp is more than just a break – it's a homecoming, a place where we find our tribe and renew our spirits. Can’t wait to see your beautiful faces and make more memories together. Much love, Jen |

😂😂😂
I don’t get it. I’ve lived in the same house for 20 years (with a husband and kids) and we’re just now at the tipping point where we should rent a dumpster to throw away some stuff. And the smallest dumpster that’s available is all we need. How on earth does she have so much crap? What the heck is she buying? |

Re: me-camp announcement
Apparently the bleached hair and the stark matte red lipstick are not harsh enough, now we need to add a ghost filter! 👻🫥 |
| And after all the "research" she does for Me Camp, she seems to have only picked a place on the map and did not other Googling for things to do, food to eat, etc. She wants her "dears" to help her? Lordy. And don't get me started on that dumpster. |
