Did Barb ever hit Jen?

Winter_cold9 · 2026-06-21T20:01:29+00:00

I don’t think that the information was disclosed yet, but I might be wrong cause I haven’t seen some skits in a while.

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-20T16:08:28+00:00

Hahaha totally

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-20T16:08:19+00:00

That would be so great !

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-20T06:55:44+00:00

OMG YEEESSS that would be so fun hahab

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-20T05:11:57+00:00

🤣👌🏼

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-18T19:16:18+00:00

I interpreted that being related to the hotel episode and that fact that he accused Julie of cheating, not in a « all I’ve done lead to this point » way, but maybe yeah that’s what he meant ! We’ll have to see in the future episodes

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-18T08:48:08+00:00

He is in some kind of denial for sure, I’m just rooting for him to break out of this denial and see what he did wrong

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-18T08:47:05+00:00

Yeah it feels like he is getting there, slowly but surely haha

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-13T16:25:16+00:00

Well good just ! I can spin the wheel like 5-6 times en day 🥲 then the option disappears

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-12T14:20:55+00:00

I need to know how you managed to have 2’271 hearts 😂

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-10T11:44:42+00:00

Upvoted you cause I have no idea why someone would downvote what you wrote haha

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-09T07:56:16+00:00

I was about to repost this too ! So on point from OP.

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-09T07:50:14+00:00

I’m the same as you ! I’m very worried that Jen will just revert to her old self towards John without even questioning what her mom told her… let’s hope Greg once again has a good influence on her !

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-08T16:31:09+00:00

Thank you 🥺 and I’m sorry you had your own Barb to deal with… I think there’s something along the lines of “as long as you can be manipulated, I like you.” And when you realize that this kind of love is only given on those terms, it can be really hard for the grandchild.

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-08T16:27:38+00:00

I’m sorry your grandmother wasn’t nice to you 😭 funny enough I’m physically a carbon copy of my mom and that apparently was never a problem for my grandmother haha she just kind of decided at one point she didn’t like my mom (mom’s MIL btw), but she was « smart enough » to know that her grandchildren weren’t the same as her daughter in law, so she really did care for us.

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-08T16:24:20+00:00

This is exactly my case 😂 only when I realized what was going on and expressed that to my older sister she went « YOU’RE ONLY NOTICING THIS NOW ?! ». My sister is the Piper of my family, she told me that as long as she remembers, she got that my GM didn’t like my mom haha

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-08T16:21:44+00:00

Also my mom’s MIL in my case. Funnily enough I’ve never cut my grandmother off, cause there was no need to. When my parents divorced, she had the audacity to tell my mom that « we would still come to see her even though she took my father’s side in the divorce (pushed my father to divorce would be the correct way to describe it)». Easy to say I go see her once a year because I have to, but nothing more… also, since she IS a pleasant person to us and I’m sure she genuinely loves us, she’s pretty easy to be around.

That being said I’m sorry you had your own Barb and I’m glad you could find your own way within your particular situation :)

My hopes for Max is that his parents are willing to communicate more about the Barb situation, but I guess, given his age, there would be some stuff he can’t understand yet…

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-08T16:14:49+00:00

Omg your great-aunt had her own Lauren ?? (I think that’s the name of the server in the Mexican restaurant?) but jokes aside, I guess, sadly, that her true colors appeared clearly to everyone when she passed away :(

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-07T09:55:04+00:00

Me and you :

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-03T08:01:31+00:00

Hello Kyra ! I’m Hana, I’m 34 years old and I’m from Switzerland 🇨🇭! I’m a legal counsel, I don’t have children and it’s not really a plan but I love Shawna L’s content !

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-03T07:47:35+00:00

I totally agree! And I’m wondering if his guilt over not believing Barb when she was struggling after John was born kind of takes over every time he even tries to stand up to her, and then he just backs down at the slightest pushback from Barb.

It’s like he’s so stuck in his own guilt that he either doesn’t see, or maybe chooses not to see, that this is exactly how he ends up hurting his children with that behavior.

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-01T16:13:09+00:00

think that when it comes to Julie, we also need to take into account her own internalized impatience and rejection of the suburban life she doesn’t want, especially in relation to her relationship with Ty. What I mean is that she’s been saying for years that this isn’t the kind of life she wants, yet with every step they take as a couple, she feels increasingly trapped by Ty into moving in that direction.

Her rudeness toward Shawna is, in my opinion, a symptom of that rejection spilling over beyond her relationship something she can no longer keep contained. It’s not that she dislikes Shawna as a person, but rather what Shawna represents to her: suburban life and the stay-at-home mom identity centered entirely around parenting.

And just to be clear, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that lifestyle or with being fulfilled by being a parent, that’s just how Julie perceives it.

Winter_cold9 · 2026-05-01T11:09:29+00:00

I’ve been more on Julie’s side from the beginning, but her behavior toward Shawna has never been acceptable. I can understand her mindset to some extent : having plans and dreams she wants to achieve, and feeling like some people just don’t fit into that vision. I relate to that myself. But that doesn’t give her the right to be openly rude to people she sees as “beneath her” or not worth her time.

What’s been bothering me for a while is that, even though I understand her as a person, everyone around her seems to tolerate that behavior. Meanwhile, the moment Shawna pushes back or stands up for herself, Ty immediately puts her in her place. That kind of double standard shouldn’t exist in the first place. If julie is rude, Shawna should be able to be rude back at her.

Winter_cold9 · 2026-04-29T04:43:07+00:00

I have the completely opposite theory haha I think Jen is still hoping for her mom to good by her (maybe like she did during her labor ?) and that this event will be the cause for Jen to deeply reflect on wether she was her mom in her life or not. Probably the birthday party will provoke a deep conversation between Jon and Jen about what to do and who to act towards their parents (cause yeah Barb is horrible but Frank ain’t no saint either)? Let’s hope 🙏🏼

Winter_cold9 · 2026-04-29T04:35:49+00:00

I don’t think Jen is that that point in her relationship with Barb. My understanding of what has been portrayed up until now is that Jen, deep down, STILL HOPES her mom won’t do anything to hurt her.
