When she was saying to the camera, “thank you guys so much for being there with me, I really felt less alone,” I thought to myself that she was truly delusional and in her own world and actually needs help. She may be a witch and a completely useless person but I truly believe that something in her has snapped and she is really suffering from mental health issues.

What @cavamom recommended was spot on. I have a friend who has always suffered from anxiety and paranoia but the pandemic made it a lot worse and just last year she was still not able to leave her house even to just meet up with a few close friends at someone else’s house for dinner.
Her mom and boyfriend became very concerned when she became pregnant since she would not leave the house and she agreed to therapy. The psychiatrist worked with her and said things like “tomorrow you will walk to the end of your drive way. Next week you will walk to the end of the street.” It took months and months of intense therapy and she can now leave her house and socialize (albeit for very short amounts of time).

My point is that the psychiatrist worked with my friend to set very small weekly goals. I don’t think Jenn is in weekly therapy or in therapy at all. She’s showed no growth

This is what I had, it's called agoraphobia an means it's incredibly hard to bring yourself to leave your "safe place" there is no way gin has it but I do agree that all therapists will have you break down your goals into little steps, one end goal can be going to meet friends to have lunch or go shopping etc an the steps will all be things like walking round the garden, then walking to the end of the street, then walking up the street with a friend, they all seem like silly little things but each step builds you slowly onto the next until you reach your goal then you pick another an so on, an IF gin is going to therapy this is what her goals are going to be like, going to shops, going for lunch with a friend etc steps that are uncomfortable but you need to do

I am glad your friend has been able to work up to leaving the house for short periods, it is absolutely hellish to go through because there is nothing you want more than to be able to do these things without it feeling like everything around you is suffocating, an even a short walk up the street can feel like you are taking on a marathon

If gin is in therapy then it sounds to me like it's closer to mild counselling where she's really just wanting to offload everything she's pissed off with an the therapist is just agreeing with whatever, she's definitely not doing any type of therapy that's encouraging goals or if she is then she's ignoring it, therapists can suggest everything but ultimately it's down to her to actually do it, they can't force it, an it sounds to me like they might be suggesting she do things alone an she's ignoring the part of coming out of her comfort zone an thinking "well a cruise is alone" so she's doing that instead

But she does seem like she's detaching herself more an more from the real world an just wants to live in this Disney bubble where she's the star of the show, the fact she is detaching herself more from the kids as well is worrying, it's clear she fantasies herself as motherless, she needs to burst the damn fantasy an get back to reality where she's a mother to two kids an realises YT won't be there forever
 
Jenn is miserable because of the kids. If you watch any old pre-kids vlog, you can see the difference. So she is overindulging in food to try to get some dopamine flowing. I think the constant vacations are a way to excuse the overeating.

I still don’t get why Tim is going to D23 for a whole week. Honestly, I don’t think it’s wise to leave her with the kids for a week unless a nanny is staying the whole time. Seems like someone else is doing some escaping as well.
 
Yea, Jenn said everyone should take time for themselves.
Me, whenever I need a day, I will pick a random work day, take PTO, and aimlessly browse empty stores and take myself to lunch.
I would NEVER leave my family. Mom guilt is real. My kid is 15, and I just can’t leave her and do something I know she would love. If she was 4, I know how much she’d want to hang out with me at a hotel, or especially a Disney cruise. At 15, I know how much she’d want to go to WA, or the wish. I could not, and would not leave her behind.


Even when I take my DAY during work hours, you better believe I’m coming home with brown sugar milk tea boba and some ramen or chick fila for the kid because I know she’d have wanted to hang out with me for the day, and this is what she would’ve spent my money on lol. (She’s a mamas girl, and still likes hanging out with me, granted she’d be on her phone the entire time after all she is 15 lol )

To add, my me time is not because I need to be away from my family, it’s because I need a break from WORK! She’s only been a mom for 4 years and is already at her breaking point.

ETA: She wouldn’t need these getaways if she introduced boundaries, and discipline, and rules etc.
 
Recap-

Ginn goes on her first "Solo Cruise" and shows the us how she's been doing intermittent fasting (time-restricted feeding) in an attempt to gain more weight. She shows us how going solo a Disney Cruise is the perfect environment for the new 2/2 intermittent fasting method where she leisurely eats for for two-hours at a time (best done without your kids so you actually eat less, who knew?), then she restricts her eating for one to two-hours (unless she ate more often off camera) mainly by sleeping. She highly recommends sleeping for as long and as often as possible between meals as a way to get your mind off of food during the long two-hour periods of time while fasting.

Another great tip she gave was to make sure you're not active while aboard the ship, this ensures that your metabolism doesn't speed up throughout the day causing you to possibly lose back some of the weight you've worked so hard to gain. Pretending to read a book was Ginn's method of choice when it came to her activity level, she shows us how to have a relaxing time instead of taking part in the plethora of free entertainment offerings while aboard the ship such as: going to the sail-away party, the broadway show(s), seeing the newly released $1B Deadpool movie, going to Trivia, seeing the must do "Match Your Mate" show, standing in line to see Goofy and Donald Duck, hearing the iconic ship horns blow on the outer deck, or remembering to shop for gifts for your loved ones like your husband and your favorite kid (it's ok to exert a little energy if it's something you want to purchase for yourself like a dress to put on your little notagirl so you can pretend he's a girl). When she was not pretending to read her book she was "thinking" of all the things she told us she "wanted" to do, but never really intended to do, thus ensuring that her stans would stick around to watch her first solo adventure.

Ginn's Pro Tip: Don't bother putting your book in a ZipLock bag (that you made a special trip to Publix to purchase) because it will just get dirty anyways when handing it while doing your expensive (expensive for you, not Ginn) face mask.

I think it's extra hard to parent small children when you don't have a tribe. We lived ten hours away from family and my parents came to visit as often as they could, but it's not the same as having local relatives around to help out or just keep you company while you nurse the baby for the 27th time that day. We always laughed that we may have had a third kiddo if we'd had family closer. It's sad that they have relatives so close but don't seem to be close enough emotionally to accept support from them. Hence, hired henchmen.
 
It all boils down to Jen not wanting kids with Tim, accidentally getting pregnant, and tim wanting to keep the baby because he always wanted to be a father and couldn’t fathom terminating. She did not want to be a mother. She was thrilled to live a life where tim waited on her hand and foot, treated her like a queen, and she could enjoy a travelling/lavish lifestyle with the focus on her. Having kids ruined that for her. She suffers from severe ADHD, postpartum depression, and anxiety. She refuses to get help for herself and her husband is just coasting along while she gains weight and complains. She’s easily almost 260lbs. Don’t forget she’s about 5”8 and carries her weight all over her body. She’s not fulfilled being a mom and constantly wishes she could have had the childfree life she so desperately wanted
 
And call me crazy, but leaving your meal ticket alone with another woman, and that woman is young, attractive and taking care of your kids is Jenns first mistake.
When Jenn first went to WA, it seemed like Tim missed her, now less than a year later, she actually left the country their greeting is like hey, did you get the footage? Yea, did you get my coffee?

I'm sorry but the whole "husband fucks the hot nanny" is such an old fashioned way of thinking and a little offensive. I highly doubt Dim is bleeping the nanny. And just because she's good looking then he just HAS to be hooking up with her? And how dare Ginn leave her husband with a hot nanny? And the nanny is stooping that low to be bleeping him? If she was unattractive then yeah, sure, leave him with the nanny? I was a nanny for many years (and I don't think I am terrible looking) and I would find it so offensive if the mom couldn't leave her husband alone with me because she thinks we will hook up. Like, no, I'm there for your children.

Though it sounds like they have a whole family CA trip planned “later in the year” according to Ginn?

So the whole family might be going to CA. for Tim’s DL 10K & half marathon race?

If so, predictions….

J$ will not make a cheer poster for Tim at the RunDisney Expo

J6M & J$ will not be anywhere along the race routes (starting line, DL/DCA entrances, etc. or finish line) to cheer Tim on.

Tim will not get any kind of recover time in between races. As he will be expected to parent even with them bringing a nanny.

The balloon ladies will pass Tim on the half marathon course and he will be swept.
Despite that he will receive the half marathon medal, but NOT the Chills ‘n Thrills Challenge medal.

Tim will be hobbling, wobbling and waddling just like J6M after the half marathon.

I am hoping that they are not flying out that same day, but with J$ in school, and missing the previous week, I see them flying out that Sunday.

Tim will pay the price as his body will revolt and he will be out of action post race week.

Me either. Actually, I am not even sure why he's going at all. I suppose he's desperate for content, but looking back, his D23 views aren't all that great--probably because they usually get posted so far after the event, thanks Jen. And especially since it coincides with the first day of school. I realize it's just pre-school and maybe we're odd, but we've always thought the first day of school was a big deal and made sure we both were there. But, I guess we actually love our children so maybe that's the difference.

And so much of it can be blamed on Jen's "anxiety". Well, along with the boundaries and discipline, of course. I would go absolutely bonkers if I had to stay in that house all day, every day--even if the nanny is watching the kids. But since she won't drive and is always reliant on Tim (or Christina, if she's real), she can't go take a break and go out to lunch by herself or spend a couple of hours shopping. So, instead she now has to take these pricey, solo getaways where she just ends up doing nothing but eating and sleeping.

I see this from people from time to time and am I missing something? What exactly does Tim have to offer to any attractive, young woman? Have y'all seen him?

Dang, sucks you find that offensive. I think it’s funny, and something that could happen, especially if the relationship seems to be rocky. Why add any extra obstacles on a rocky road. You may not have any interest in bleeping your employer, but you don’t know the next persons intentions.

I don’t care how much I trust my husband, I don’t care how much I trust the nanny, I’m not making it easy for something to happen. A lot of cheating happens out of convenience. She could be a bit so hot, older lady and it could still happen.

you guys are getting so sensitive around here.

I mean I think everybody already knows my vote would be him doing Mike or Nick long before ever thinking about the Nanny. Hell, Mike is doing his editing and social media, why does he even need Ginn at all?
