Kyle's school district's catastrophic leave program is donated PTO from other employees and granted in 90 day increments.

I think Kyle has to go back to work. The first 90 day leave increment was probably Aug, Sept, Oct. Then he was granted another 90 days: Nov, Dec, Jan. Jenny had mentioned applying for another leave extension to take care of the kids but I think he and Ashley went along with that idea, knowing that it wasn't possible but it might have eased Jenny's mind thinking he wouldn't have to work.
 
I’ll believe it when I see it - Kyle going back to work. He won’t, IMO, if he can financially afford not to, even if that means resigning for the year. He could always say later that his kids need him at home or something.

Did Jenny get cremated? They usually have a burial way before now, right? The reason I ask is it’s not that unusual for Disney lovers who think laws don’t apply to them to spread ashes at Disney parks. 🤣 I didn’t watch video so I don’t know if Kyle mentioned burial or not. Probably just my wishful thinking that Kyle would do that, as he’d be getting a ban from the parks. They have cameras everywhere.

I am sure, this is not the case. He is not that crazy.
When he announced Jen's passing, he said: she is so beautiful, so I assume, the body has been enbalmed.
 
It's going to be strange for Kyle moving forward in that apart from his mum ( I'm not sure how involved she is anyway ), all the rest of the family are Jenny's. It's great that Ashley&Brad are helping so much but they have their own busy schedules - how long can this help go on for before Ashley is burnt out? She too has suffered a huge loss, she and Jenny were so close. It kind of irks me that Kyle never mentioned 'helping each other', it's all about helping 'me'. For all we know, Ashley&Brad could think Kyle is a bit of a fanny ( Scottish ism there! ) and that without Jenny they're tied to him because of the kids now. Who knows, I'm yapping out loud because my daughter has been up and down with a temperature.

Either way, and whatever I think of Kyle's looks, those wee kids are super cute and deserve the best. My heart breaks looking at my grumpy-faced Leonora tonight. It's hard not to think of them 😕
 
It's clear that Kyle is not going to be a youtube hit on his own. He knows that the star power was Jenny's. Hence he'll be filming those cute kiddies soon.

It seems logical that if the memorial service is not for a while, then her body has already been cremated. You wouldn't delay it for weeks and weeks. It's also more traumatic for the children if the process is drawn out longer than it need be.
 
Didn't Josh delay too? I remember on here people were thinking it must have already happened because it had been so long - then a bit after that, it was announced. But in real life, I've known people to delay memorials for a while - even 6 months or more. So I'm reluctant to think he's got a social media strategy to the timing. Guess I'll hang on till the end, hoping he'll do better than some I've seen who've had a taste of this sort of fame and fortune.

ETA: And I agree, it'll likely follow the same course as Josh, if he tries to continue with videos, though I think he has a bit more of a following.

My sister-in-law died in June and her son had her celebration of life in late September because he said it was too hot. WTF. It's still hot as Hades here in September and the gathering was inside. I thought it was ridiculous.
 
Hopefully Ellis was only helping him because Kyle was sick. It's so damaging when kids are thrust into that role. I was a year younger than Ellis when my family emigrated and my mother was so unhappy that she took me as her "best friend" and I felt responsible for cheering her up for the rest of her life basically. You and me against the world she kept saying. Maybe an exaggeration to say it ruined my life but came pretty close!
 
Jenny had lost touch with reality during the final part of her life. Between the disease, the trauma, and the meds, she had gone a little nuts... not judging the poor thing, just saying. In her mind, if one good thing could come out of the tragedy of her cancer ordeal, it was that Kyle was now famous and could have lived off her legacy by vlogging on YouTube and writing books about her. Maybe Blobby believed this fantasy for a while but now he realises that being a full time YouTuber is not so easy. He understands that it's better to keep his job and do that on the side. He won't stop Youtubing, he has zero problems using the kids, but at least he won't end up like desperate Josh.

This is exactly why it’s abusive for parents to treat their child like a friend or to lean on them. I’m not surprised it came close to ruining your life. No child owes their parent anything - they did not ask to be born.
 
I wonder if the delay in laying Jenny to rest could be because she had a post-mortem? My mum had MND and was obviously not expected to live for a long time but my dad insisted on a pm anyway. It was three weeks and one day until she was released to the funeral home and laid out because my dad and uncle wanted to see her. When it came to the crunch they were both too frightened to go into the room and begged me to go in first. It was profoundly the most horrendous experience of my life with the exception of severe post-natal depression.
I can't emphasise enough how strongly I hope Ellis and Winnie don't have to view Jenny's embalmed body.
 
Do funerals happen quickly in America? In England it's normal to be delayed. My dad died on the 23rd July and his funeral was 10th August.

In my experience, yes. Most of the funerals I've been to are less than one week after someone dies. The only time I've seen it happen later is when people needed to travel from out of the country to attend the funeral.
