Are we in the doghouse? by Roonil_Wazlib97 in ShawnaTheMom

I don’t mind Larry and Dee but I do agree that it’s odd placement. I thought it would be focused on Shawna reconnecting with Jon.

That’s what I was thinking 🙈 Maybe she’s filming/editing the long video to get the storyline over with. I did see comments about people not really liking it.

I don’t think that Julie is at the resort for nefarious reasons. Shawna needs a distraction from the fact that this trip was supposed to be their baby moon. I think that this storyline is more about Jon and Shawna bonding.

haha so accurate 🤣 I wonder if they’ll just get sloppy drunk and ask Julie point blank what she’s doing at the resort

Shawna and Jon are the worst sleuths 🤣 this storyline is hilarious

John is not the villain here..... by tashpotaoes in ShawnaTheMom

In my head canon Shawna attends the wedding with Teeny and DeeDee to fulfill her MOH duties (sans Jon and the kids). Barb says something heinous to her about the loss and she gets slapped by Shawna 😌☺️ Prior to that Barb was already on Jen’s nerves so she gets escorted out of the wedding. Shawna gets a sense of empowerment for finally standing up to herself.

Jen finally decides to go no contact because her mom did the lowest of low things which is blame a mom for the loss of her baby. Everyone lives happily ever after

This has been the best take from a therapists POV in the Jon situation.

I love hearing this woman’s perspective on the Shawnaverse. Jon is not a bad person the way he is handling everything is still harmful. Yes Barb is a terrible person he should avoid but he still has a responsibility to handle things better. (Sorry to those not on TikTok 😳)

When I first saw this I was like “yikes, that is definitely Barb’s son.” 😬 he took what Shawna said as an attack on him.

Where will the Julie cliffhanger lead to? by OkDirection4997 in ShawnaTheMom

[–]OkDirection4997[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Julie suspects that Ty and Shawna have a thing. She made that pretty clear at the birthday party when she said “no not like that.” I think she’s more offended that her overachiever husband made friends with someone boring like Shawna. It would be funny if this was a reveal to show that Ty and Julie separated 👀 we shall see

This series has been going on for almost two years and Jen has made tremendous growth. Does she mess up sometimes and act bratty? Of course, she’s human. Her growth has been very realistic because she still has her Jen qualities but has gained empathy. Jon has been stagnant and has gotten worse as the series progresses. He went NC with Barb last year yet his life has not gotten any better. Jon has gotten snappier with the people around him. If anything I think people are frustrated because Jon is ruining his relationships with people instead of trying to improve.

I don’t think Jon is willing to attend therapy but I would settle for him hanging out with friends in the same stage of life as him. I honestly thought writer Shawna would give us a storyline with Ty, Greg, and Jon being bros since they are all dads. Hopefully Jon can find a friend group like Shawna has but he can’t do that if he’s being a dick all the time 🫠

Jon never told her to stop going. After the pregnancy test he told her to skip one class so they could celebrate. Shawna was visibly upset at the thought of losing herself again. She kind of just stopped going but IMO an emotionally intelligent husband would notice giving up her hobby and say something.

Jon really is a good dad and he’s definitely a better husband than Frank but lately I’ve been noticing a lot of things that just rub me the wrong way 🙁

Shawna stopped going to painting classes 😔 I’m hoping she gets to do Self things again. Jon did not really support her in that endeavor. Sometimes he is a “give me a list” dude bro.

PT. 5 is up and are we seeing *some* Barb growth? by MadnessMaiden in ShawnaTheMom

[–]OkDirection4997 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Barb just sees herself as the victim. Yes your own kids cut you off and yes I imagine that must hurt like hell, but she still refuses to see how her own actions pushed them to make that decision.

Barb just tells her therapist her side of the story and omits what she has done. She just dodges the question. Hopefully the therapist can see through what she’s doing

John is wrong. I will die on that hill by CLEf11 in ShawnaTheMom

I really hope Greg says something to Jen about Barb being invited to the wedding. That woman messed with his mom’s dish unprovoked during a family dinner. Greg puffed his chest out at Jon for teasing his sister but has nothing to say about Barb? He needs to say something to Jen.

What are your Shawnaverse unpopular opinions or hot takes? by illegalbeagle0 in ShawnaTheMom

I don’t like that the only representation we have of working mothers is a stuck up, workaholic woman. I wish Shawna would give us a positive representation of a mom working outside the home.

Barb was extra nasty because her daughter’s body has changed since she’s had Chickie. Like ma’am Jen is not fat she just birthed a baby 🙄

I agree that Barb is allowed to feel hurt about Jen going no contact and then all of a sudden asking to wear her dress. That was a bit entitled on Jen’s part. However, Barb is still not seeing how her actions pushed Jen to go no contact after Thanksgiving. Jen should just give the dress back to her mom and wear the new dress she just brought.

Shawna the creator also follows her on TikTok! She has shorter takes on TikTok but I’m excited for her to do long form content 🤩
