[quote=Anonymous]Oh, no, this post was so very sad. What happened to Jen? This poor, poor kid. I had a parent who talked about me like this to their friends, and it messed me up for a looooong time. Newsflash - if you put your kids on blast like this to strangers, you by definition do not have their back, you are not their confidant. I can't imagine if my parent had done this; we probably would never speak again.

Also, it's looking like she is reevaluating the use of the word "tribe" - good for her. "Pod" probably is a less complicated word to use. Can we also please reevaluate the single parent thing? Are you a parent who is single? Sure. Is it the same thing as a single parent of small children who works a traditional job? No. Are your kids largely physically independent, and do you have possibly the most flexible "work" schedule in the world? Yes. Do you seemingly have a huge friend group who will do literally anything for you? Yes, because we hear about it constantly. Did you make a whole video about how you aren't planning to feed your kids dinner anymore because you're dating? Confusingly, also yes.

Parenting is hard, yes. But utilize your many resources. Don't put your kid on blast. Making jokes about not feeding your kids because you're dating is a weird look. Your kid already has adoption trauma; now they have the trauma of a divorce (can be especially difficult for adopted kids). Maybe be there for your kid. This whole post made me really sad.[/quote]
