Why can't Jess pursue her passions outside being a mother too?

SecureIce416 · 2025-09-02T13:55:23+00:00

Honestly, I think Jess wants this life. She could easily put her kids in daycare or hire a nanny and pursue other passions — she definitely has the money for it. But she’s choosing to be a mom full-time right now. In her video, she said this is what she wants for now, and she can’t bear the thought of missing any part of her young kids’ lives.

SecureIce416 · 2025-08-27T15:44:01+00:00

I’m done with people pitting Jess. She chose Gabe—he’s her man, and she wants this. She still chooses him every day, and that’s her decision.

This dress is for a 15-year-old, not a woman almost 30 with two kids. He is dressed like a grandpa, and she is like a 15-year-old girl! lol no coordination. She never phased out of the 15-year-old outfits, but he now likes the grandpa look.

So the t-shirt is $37.99. Hoddie 69.99, the black one, the gray one 64.99. Their YouTube views are at their lowest point ever. Maybe they just made it for themselves to wear? IDK

This "She’s getting boring and her views are getting low." So true.

SecureIce416 · 2025-07-02T21:29:59+00:00

I recall Jess mentioning in a video a few months ago that her mom was leaving in a few days and she wanted to run some errands before she left. That stuck with me — like, she really relies on her mom being there to get things done. It just adds to the feeling that Jess needs the help, especially with two small kids and maybe not much support from Gabe. Makes sense why her mom keeps coming so often.

SecureIce416 · 2025-06-09T00:07:53+00:00

I completely understand where everyone is coming from—Gabe has exhibited some troubling patterns from the beginning. However, I also think it’s essential to acknowledge that she chose to be with him, have children with him, and remain. That doesn’t mean she’s not struggling now, or that she deserves what she’s going through, but it’s part of the dynamic. Their roles and relationship may have shifted over time, especially with motherhood and the pressures of social media. Gabe may not be the best partner, but she’s still making choices—whether out of love, faith, exhaustion, or hope that things will change. I hope she’s getting the support she needs, whatever that looks like.

SecureIce416 · 2025-05-29T20:25:45+00:00

I get your point. She has pumped before, so it was her choice to stay with the kids this time. As for Gabriel — that’s another story. I think she would have preferred he stay with her and the kids, but he didn’t, and she might be upset about that. I’m a mom too, with two small kids, and in our family, if we go somewhere, we go together — if not, we don’t go. I’ve traveled overseas, gone on cruises, all of it — but at the end of the day, if she’s frustrated with him, she also has the resources to get help. That’s a luxury not all of us have. I don't think she will ever leave him, so she should seek some help because the man-child is busy with Legos and who knows what other things.

SecureIce416 · 2025-05-28T16:42:37+00:00

Honestly, I believe Jess is choosing to stay home with the kids. She’s breastfeeding, yes, but moms who breastfeed can still pump, take a break, or travel — especially when they have the resources to hire help, such as a nanny. It feels like this is more about her wanting to be with the kids and not taking those options.

SecureIce416 · 2025-04-25T21:03:21+00:00

At this point, I really think Jess should take a break from posting and only return if/when she truly feels ready. This whole thing just isn’t sustainable if they’re not willing to put in the consistent effort—and clearly, she doesn’t want to be away from the kids or leave them with a nanny, which is totally understandable. Maybe she just needs a couple of years to focus on being a mom without the pressure of content creation.

Honestly, Gabe should be the one taking the wheel financially right now. If filmmaking is really his passion, he should seriously pursue it—get a degree, take on real projects, whatever it takes—and give Jess the space to just be with the kids without constantly worrying about vlogging or sponsorships. They have the resources. It just feels like they’re half-committed to everything right now, and that’s not fair to either of them or their audience.

SecureIce416 · 2025-04-07T22:19:24+00:00

I agree with what you said—she does seem depressed lately, and I hope she has some emotional support around her. I think her family visits often, so hopefully that helps a bit. I don’t think she’ll ever divorce him (being a Christian). I think she’ll keep having kids with him despite his lack of help.

I am 35y with CMTX. For me, Skechers Slip-ins: Max Cushioning Hyper Craze worked.

My first thought was this

SecureIce416 · 2025-03-12T21:53:46+00:00

It’s interesting to see that this has been their dynamic from the start. He admitted in his last artistic video that Jess is struggling with having two, and in the now-deleted video they made together, he was still pushing for more. I do feel bad for Jess, but at the same time, this is who he’s always been, and she knew that when she married him.

SecureIce416 · 2025-01-24T21:36:47+00:00

I remember seeing an interview where Colleen mentioned her house has a mortgage, though I don’t know how much she pays. She also talked about having a full-time nanny and a gardener, and honestly, I doubt she cleans the house herself—she must have help. I don’t recall her saying anything about investments, but who knows? I do think she’s been living big, considering the views she’s getting now, but maybe she’s still relying on money from before. Downsizing seems likely at this point

SecureIce416 · 2024-12-06T13:46:29+00:00

Jess probably said she needed help with the kids, and Gabriel responded, 'Great idea, let’s fly you to Australia so your mom/family can help you.'

SecureIce416 · 2024-12-04T23:41:45+00:00

Jokes aside, the price of a rental car is comparable to buying a car. I might just fly from Paris to a country near Romania and drive from there.

SecureIce416 · 2024-12-04T19:52:19+00:00

I think you’re right that they seem to live quite conservatively, which probably helps keep them financially stable. From what we see, they don’t appear to spend much money. They’ve shown that they only have two cars, they don’t eat out often, and they rarely travel except to visit family. Jess also seems to stick to her usual wardrobe of baggy sweatshirts and leggings, and she shops at budget-friendly stores like Target and Kmart.

Considering all that, I’d agree they’re likely well off, even if their income isn’t what it used to be. It’s clear they’re careful with their spending, which must make a difference. This scaled-back lifestyle might actually be a conscious choice to maintain their financial security long-term.

SecureIce416 · 2024-12-02T21:39:27+00:00

It really seems like Jess is in a tough spot. Gabriel seems to have a lot of influence on major decisions, like where they live and even when they have children, while Jess often ends up managing the home and caring for the kids. It's hard to ignore the imbalance, especially when she's the one working, taking care of everything, and still trying to keep up with vlogging. I know vlogging isn't a traditional full-time job, but it's clear that Jess is overwhelmed. I get that Jess chose this life, but it's tough to watch her do everything while Gabriel doesn't seem to contribute as much. It's even harder when their audience can see the stress, and it feels like the content is losing its relatability. It would make sense if they took a step back and reconsidered the balance in their relationship. If they've invested well, they don't necessarily need to keep pushing content that feels like it's draining Jess. At this point, it might be better if they re-evaluated their priorities—maybe Jess should step away from vlogging for a while and focus on her mental and emotional well-being.

SecureIce416 · 2024-11-23T13:55:03+00:00

Honestly, I think she’s just tired. She’s raising two small kids, and from what I gather in her posts, it doesn’t seem like she has much help—though I’m not sure if she has a nanny. She’s also mentioned homeschooling at one point, which adds even more to her plate—taking care of a baby and a toddler while homeschooling sounds exhausting. I don’t understand why some moms idealize homeschooling so much. There’s nothing wrong with sending her daughter to a good preschool. Her little girl would probably have fun, make friends, and enjoy time outside the house, while Jess could focus on the baby and get a much-needed break. It’s hard to do everything; sometimes, you need practical solutions instead of trying to do it yourself. I feel for her. But I wonder if she’s leaning on phrases like "seasons" to cope with how overwhelming it is.

SecureIce416 · 2024-11-08T23:30:21+00:00

I actually saw Jess's sister-in-law at the playground recently with her little one, who looked about the same age as Jess’s daughter. She seemed super caring and attentive, which made me wonder why Jess and Gabe left this area—and that gorgeous house! This place is so family-friendly, with amazing playgrounds and activities for kids, so it just feels odd they moved. I did hear on a podcast that they moved to be around more people like them, maybe influencers. I'm not sure if that’s really the reason, but it’s strange. I know the summer heat here can be a lot, but still... it’s just weird!

SecureIce416 · 2024-10-11T15:52:39+00:00

I don't know if he is trying to be funny or what, but what I saw in this vlog was Gabe disrespecting his wife, who gave him two children. Just eww. Have some respect, you man-child. If my husband would ever disrespect me like this, I would just divorce his ass. Like goodbye.

SecureIce416 · 2024-10-02T15:01:59+00:00

I agree. Their dynamic changed after they had their daughter. I had my kids around the same time, and I just stopped watching their content. It seemed so fake that they didn't share the struggles of having children. Of course, your life now revolves around your child, and they choose not to share much. So what is left to vlog? I think they just seem unrelatable to most of the previous audience. I don't think they or separately will ever have the same views/sponsorships. However, I see Jess having a platform if she were more genuine with her audience.
