[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a stay-at-home mom in rural Alabama, not a DC Urban mom at all. Stumbled upon this thread when I was trying to figure out what the heck happened to the Jen I knew and loved. I own every book! I made my friends go through her 7 devotional study, and we wore the same 7 articles of clothing and only ate 7 foods for a month. Whoever she has become is blowing my mind. Also I'm just so thankful for this crazy message thread! Every few days I'm coming back to it to see what else people are saying. It never disappoints.
I'm from a pretty conservative Evangelical group so most of my friends don't like her anymore because she cusses so much and is Pro lgbt. I personally am very pro-lgbt and I'm proud of Jen for taking a stand which was very unpopular at the time among Evangelicals. But all this craziness of the last couple years - the product pushing, the obsession with herself, the blond hair, the nebulous posts about Brandon, the ragging on her kids - it's killing me!
Y'all please keep this message thread going forever because it is gold and I can't stay away. :-D[/quote]

Keep checking in for quality content. I think most of us came here with the exact same bafflement. She started out kinda cute and relatable and then it morphed into this…. I don’t even know what to call it. I feel like she’s reaching all the time to stay relevant and sometimes it’s a dumpster fire to witness. I get annoyed when any kind of church leader has a platform like this because I honestly don’t think there should be these many layers of difference and distinction. A lot of us know how to write and crack jokes, ya know? A lot of us are smart and have pretty words when the occasion calls for it. She just somehow got lucky and now loves to tell all and sundry how she’s the best, how she has the best, how she just CANNOT with her kids… 
She’s 
That used to be a good little angle for a while. Sure, every parenting phase has it’s up and downs, but I wouldn’t say that making doctor appointments and staying up to date on what’s needed in the last week for school is so far out there. Her kids, to my knowledge, are relatively healthy. All of this just CANNOT reeks of privilege to me when you compare it to people who would LOVE to be burdened with scheduling a well visit or teeth cleaning. She doesn’t see the blessings before her, especially here in this last season where she has kids at home. Wishing it all behind her— I am probably a different animal, but I dread the day my babies leave. I love them so much my heart literally aches for them. Wishing these moments away? What the hell? No!
