I agree with those two posts and I'm neither Brandon nor a fan of his. I thought it was really sad when he and Jen split. Aside from the development that he's promoting, I'm not seeing posts where he's pushing any product or person or concept in particular. Does he mention he went to a bar/distillery/concert, etc? Yes. But does he tag them and then offer his personal code to save you money and work it into every post? No. We can practically play a drinking game with the number of times that Jen has mentioned and pushed Boarderie in the last couple of weeks and will likely highlight them every day between now and whenever their cutoff is to order for New Year's Eve. Again, not a fan per se of Brandon or Tina or Jen or any of them, although Gavin and his new wife seem to be normal and decent people.

She probably does know about it. If that company isn't selling land lots as fast as they thought they would, they might not be able to support him and her. It makes sense that she'd go back to work in a career that is in high demand. He's going back to college, too. So it makes more sense that there would be a transition period where they might've taken on some short-term extra debt. That court case looks like he probably went in and got it caught up and paid off.
On another note, their "lavish" vacations might be some kind of gift from friends or a time share thing or any number of ways that wouldn't cost them a lot. As much as we all come here to see the spilled tea, I'm just not sure that there's a bunch of unspilled tea with Brandon and Tina. He has openly come clean about his shortcomings in his marriage to Jen in a podcast and he and Tina seem to be taking the high road and just living life. They post from time to time, like normal people, but no shilling and no parading the kids around in an attention-getting way. Just normal family time posts and an occasional birthday shoutout to their kids or other family members. Jen might be "winning" financially, but Brandon and Tina seem to be "winning" having a normal life.
These two posts sound written by Brandon or one of his fans. Let's stop painting Brandon as a regular ole' guy. He changed his instagram handle to "Top Ten Texas." He's STILL trying to be an influencer. and has recently shilled shirts, restaurants, boots and whiskey and would be doing more if he had the opportunity. He is constantly promoting something. He has a longstanding drinking problem and doesn't seem to be sober. He doesn't have a normal job and I'd love to know what he's back in school for but I think he's constantly scheming how to get back into some level of fame.

I guess she is single and a mom, but how long do you get to cling to the title of "single mom" once all of your children are adults? IMO "single mom of five kids" paints a picture in my mind that is far different from her reality. Like my friend's husband who was arrested for stealing $$$$ from his boss and now she and her 5 kids under 14 have been kicked out of their house because they were renting from his boss. F*ck off, Jen.
Single mom here, with only two under 7 years old. The struggle is real for some of us.
She's absolutely delusional. Her children are adults so it’s now time to do adult things. And stop talking about her divorce that was almost 5 years ago. Her marriage was over long before it was finalized, she and him both admit that in several pod casts.
Jen truly doesn’t want or need a husband and she knows it. She needs and wants a servant.
And someone please explain how all of these adult children have no real jobs and can all go on a lavish week extended family vacation? Is Tyler with them? How can he stand being around all of that chaos. And her beloved new DIL, bless her.
WTF? Go back to elementary school and learn some grammar.
I thought this place was populated by educated people. Guess not!
Someone needs Jesus.

I second this. If we were here to be graded, we’d all fail. I’m from Arkansas and I guarantee you my grammar is off. No shame!

"It is not the still talking about the effect the divorce has on her life that is irritating. I was a child of divorce. The reprocussions were life long. To this day, my relationship with my dad is gatekept by a stepmother who is not an awful person, but definitely has a time limit on how long her husband's kids from his first marriage can be tolerated."
As an adult, I experienced and even deeper grief that cut so deep, after five years I was just starting to see some sunlight.
But to speak of all of that in the same breath as an extended ski vacation, while putting herself on the same level of women who are raising children alone is irritating. And she is not really a single parent - the kids have another very involved parent from the sounds of it. She is just no longer parenting with her partner, but she is not doing it by herself. More like tag teaming.
I am sure, at the core of it, she is lonely for her partner who raised these kids with her, and can share fully in the progression of maturity, or lack there of. The person who experienced this whole life with her, that she is still clinging to. That has to hurt deeply. But she could just say that. And I read one 2023 blogish entry where she did express that to some extent. There is not need to martyr herself by co-opting the experience of single moms who are barely hanging on.

To the single mom who was grammar-shamed above: bless you, and your kids. ❤️

What a mess.
Yikes! Guess his life with Texas Barbie isn’t as fancy free as his Instagram wants you to believe. Shocker. Gosh, him and Jen really are cut from the same cloth. She’s just a better salesman than him. It’s all so sad, late-stage capitalism style.
I don’t understand. Don’t they take nice trips? Isn’t he a VP at that real estate company and doesn’t she work there as well? And they can’t pay a $8k debt?
This is likely a debt that rolled over from his marriage because his name is listed, not hers. Barbie probably doesn’t even know about it. There’s probably a lot she doesn’t know. It appears he is still selling property and she just posted a video of them at a holiday party where she said #workfam. I think she went back to nursing after working with him for a few months. I remember a post she made saying she was hanging her scrubs up or something like that. Now it’s gone. Guess that didn’t work out for her so she went back to nursing which in my opinion was probably smart.
And what is with Jen and her 5 minute sermons? Whispering on her living room floor. Isn’t she on an extended family ski trip? That “good morning” this morning was pre recorded. Fake.
These people need Jesus.

Do tell! I’ve never heard this li’l factoid before. Can you share specifics?
