CandidMommy Part 2

[thegooseiscooked]

I remember laughing when she was finishing work and said something like she was going to get so much done now and that they weren't just going to be sitting around like some SAHMs that she knew. She was very opinionated about how structured it was going to be and she had this folder full of learning activities.

Then she did a sucky video and asked for advice from SAHMs on how to stay organised, how to keep on top of things, how to keep your toddler interested etc....I advised her to throw out the list. She didn't reply to that.

She started off well, I'll give her that. They were cooking, gardening...great videos and honestly I was full of admiration.

Now all we see is her sitting there looking knackered whilst the kids and animals run riot, the house is a mess, they're eating crap and she's begging for us to like her. How the mighty have fallen.

[hmmmmmm]

I was watching her older video on being a working mom...pretentious snob much Jeni? and in the last thread why was there was such a big tizzy about her husbands name being said when she said his first name is this video?

I don't know if his name being said was the big problem so much as his name combined with his personal facebook, where he worked and where they lived. I think that she thought that she was this super secret person who kept their state a secret and no one knew when in reality, like half of her subscribers knew where she lived if they were on her old channel. Her first and last name used to be her username I think and they don't have a popular last name. It took like 2 seconds of searching to find both of them.

[hmmmmmm]

Gotcha

[ladybug]

Yeah, all you have to do is google her first and last name and it tells you where she lives. People really should think about all this BEFORE making public videos on YouTube.

[dfwmom]

Agreed or use fake names or something like that. Mom bloggers seem to get this a bit more than the vloggers do because I see a lot more fake names (like Mr. Son, Ms. S) on blogs than I do on videos... not sure why that is..

I just went back to rewatch this one. She was so peppy. So excited. Next video was her update on being a SAHM.She looked tired and defeated.

[ladybug]

WOW. She just admitted to putting "take a shower" on her to-do list. I'm speechless...

[dfwmom]

I LOLed at the person who just pointed out the dust on that awful plant next to her. I bet she dusts it before her next video lOl

It's probably already on her to-do list.

[dfwmom]

I wasn't even going to bother watching the video because I knew that it was going to be "here's my explanation for someone who asked me about my to do lists - see guys, I'm not crazy!!"

And her newest video about how to tie a wrap to keep it out of the way... Is it to much trouble to just fold it up. I have several and I just fold them up as small and they will go and they take up no more space than like a 2 liter bottle... why do you need this weirdo knot thing that takes up like 5 times as much space? I think that it would take up less space if she just wadded the thing all up in the corner.

[tiredmomma]

The best part of the wrap video is that in the description box she points out how unflattering her shirt is to her tummy area. So self-conscious.

[thegooseiscooked]

"I love how compact it is, you can hang it on a hook...or a doorknob!"

Lol. She really had to shove that thing on there. And woe betide anyone who actually wanted to open or close that door. First you'd be fumbling for the handle in all that knotty mess and secondly the tail would be continuously getting caught in the door.

This gets my vote for most stupid "Jeni tip" ever. Perhaps just fold the damn thing and put it in a drawer?

[litnerd]

Pretty much every babywearer out there knows how to braid a freaking wrap. And if they don't, there are already dozens of videos out there. Seriously?

[ladybug]

The "folding the wrap" video is definitely up there with the "how to cut a watermelon" video.

[kingoflove21vher]

... She did a how to cut a watermelon video? Oh Lord Jesus.

[TaylorKnows]

... She did a how to cut a watermelon video? Oh Lord Jesus.

Yup...some of her viewers don't know what Google is. Either that or they think Jeni's some sort of God.

And yes Jeni, since you're reading, I don't think you're God.

[thegooseiscooked]

Lol, the old watermelon video...that and the banana video are going to haunt Jeni for the rest of her life....bahahaha

[kingoflove21vher]

.........

She did a banana one too?

[ladybug]

^^^ oh you MUST watch the banana video and then check out the lovely comments!
