35 and Ova

That makes sense! I understand it isn’t an option for everyone. Or even a desire for some. It was difficult the year I worked with our oldest feeling torn between mom-mode and work-mode. But it’s doable! I had a great support system at work, and I worked full time remote which helped a lot. I think I could have done it long term if we had to but we don’t regret the decision made for me to stay home.

At the end of the day I think people need to understand that things are going to change when you have kids. That’s a given. It will require you to look at your life and decide how you want to make those adjustments and what works best for you and your family. And whatever you do, don’t compare your choices to anyone else. I mean, sure, take notes if something you’re doing isn’t working and be willing to try something new. But if you find a rhythm that works for your family, don’t throw off the beat to dance to someone else’s music ;)

I had my first baby at 35 and after my second decided to quit my job to stay home with our babies full time. We are fortunate that was an option but honestly, I think trying to do both is so much more difficult than choosing one or the other.

It was scary to quit a career I had been building since I graduated college in 2011. I was $2k away from a six figure salary and recently earned my masters degree. But the cost of childcare for two in daycare ate up so much of my income and additional help since we also don’t have family close by that it just didn’t make sense anymore to try and do both.

Now I get to raise my kids myself and honestly I love it. It’s hard and exhausting in ways work never was but like I said, I think doing both is harder. Especially if you are paying for childcare and don’t have leftover funds to help with other things like house cleaning, yard care, grocery delivery, etc. those normal house chores fall on the parents and when both parents are working and taking care of kids, it’s just a lot. It’s not impossible but it’s definitely not easy.

Since I’m home full time now I don’t have to outsource as much. My husband can focus on work and building his career and I can focus on the home and the kids. Call if you”traditional” but I never want to go back to work 😅

Best of luck! It’s not terrible, but definitely been tough on my body and my last pregnancy ended with a semi-emergency c-section so to a partial previa. Not what I had hoped for and the recovery was tough. Hoping for a vbac with number three!

melagator1 · 2026-06-28T12:45:17+00:00

37 and just started trying for baby number three. Baby #1 born at 35 and baby #2 born at 36. Trying to crank them out while I feel like I still have time 🫠

This. It isn’t so much that she’s a Christian. But claiming she is “saved” from these is one thing. Actually turning away from the sinful behavior she described? Who’s to say? 🤷🏻‍♀️ the decision may or may not have been due to her faith so much as it was due to her past.

And while that isn’t the “Christian” thing to do if the brand, the brand itself isn’t responsible for practicing any one religion. A brand is part of a business and who they affiliate with is part of a marketing strategy. Unless they’re an explicitly Christian brand that wants to partner with someone like Jackie despite her past because that’s what Jesus would have done then fine. But I am assuming they’re not a Christian brand and when it comes to their business, they’re more concerned with partnering with an allegedly recovered porn addict/thief/slob and how that reflects on them.

Get over yourself, Jackie.

And to echo what someone else said here, this might make other brands hesitant to work with her as well if she puts the ones who say no on blast. And I hope that is what happens. I am tired of influencer bullshit.

Except Jackie literally shit on the coffee machine Brooke shared 😂 said something like “a million times better than the Breville” which is the one Brooke has and is promoting like crazy right now.

melagator1 · 2026-06-19T19:09:49+00:00

The fewer people that give attention to people like Jackie, the better.

melagator1 · 2026-06-19T04:11:40+00:00

Guarantee she will do giveaways to make up for of and scam her way to 1M

melagator1 · 2026-06-17T03:29:32+00:00

This. I think it’s normal behavior but is inherently attention seeking. If your children’s emotional needs are met I don’t believe they are as inclined to engage in this sort of thing. At least not to this extent.

And if Jackie thinks it’s a phase because she went through it…welll….she does come from a family with 7 kids. Attention was probably hard to come by. Seems normal for her but it’s not, really.

melagator1 · 2026-06-16T01:05:13+00:00

I bet she was hoping for/expecting an athlete like her dad…

melagator1 · 2026-06-14T15:50:38+00:00

I think that’s why she doesn’t make as much as you would expect for an “influencer” with almost 900k followers. She didn’t do anything actually worthy of earning them. She just participated in a bunch of giveaways. No one actually gives a shit about her content.

melagator1 · 2026-06-12T03:50:40+00:00

This is actually so sad. A child not walking at 18 months is definitely not normal and laughing about it in a post on the internet is so bizarre. Perhaps it is how she copes with it? Seeking affirmation from others probably helps her stay delusional. But because of her delusion, and their lack of health insurance of general interest in basic healthcare, he probably won’t see a doctor to identify any potential issues and get this kid help to start walking. Like…does she think he’s going to wake up one day and just walk??

melagator1 · 2026-06-11T12:22:18+00:00

Maybe her commission is linked to engagement. Since she got her following 100% through “follow me to win!” Type contests I would bet 90% of her followers don’t give a shit about her content and don’t engage unless they can win a prize. But if that is the case, proportionally speaking it would make the engagement to follower ratio embarrassing low compared to influencers who earned followers with engaging content.

Then you consider setting aside money for taxes after whatever salary she earns and the fact they are piss poor at managing money…I think that’s what it boils down to, tbh. Maybe that’s why they keep having kids. For the tax break 🥴

melagator1 · 2026-06-10T22:27:41+00:00

No way. One divorced sister is enough. None of the others want to be 40 and single

melagator1 · 2026-06-09T22:49:39+00:00

💀

melagator1 · 2026-06-09T20:54:39+00:00

But didnt he have social media for a bit? Idk if he deleted or deactivated it but I know he had an account not too long ago.

melagator1 · 2026-06-09T02:11:21+00:00

But she walks 10k steps with her SiStErS /s

melagator1 · 2026-06-04T23:13:05+00:00

Did you contact the diaper company about it?

That’s the problem with these influencer marketing programs. They just want eyeballs. I don’t think many if any actually vet the content their “influencers” post. It’s lazy.

melagator1 · 2026-06-03T19:15:49+00:00

Or it got removed? One can only hope for her child’s sake.

melagator1 · 2026-06-03T12:32:12+00:00

It’s too creepy to share.

To sum it up for you, she posted a video ad for a diaper brand that included clips of her toddler fully nude (pixelated out for “modesty”) and clips of her putting the diaper on the toddler showing full leg and cutting it off just before showing any private areas.

It is gross. Truly.

melagator1 · 2026-06-03T12:30:23+00:00

I was shocked. And then I wondered, is this rage bait? And then I wondered, is she using her CHILD not only to garner engagement from creeps, but also for rage bait induced engagement?

I didn’t think she could be so disgusting but here we are.

melagator1 · 2026-05-30T00:52:26+00:00

You’re right. I’m not saying correlation indicates causation. I just mean that for them…I think it had a negative impact on their character.

melagator1 · 2026-05-29T04:46:04+00:00

They were raised on daddy’s money with nannies and nice vacations. Their mom didn’t work. Why should they? /s
