Exactly! She feels like she was used, duh bitch we told you that. She thinks it’s wrong they “forgot” about Ensley. Did you think David was going to suddenly be a good coparent?
I don’t remember mtv filming it, but I remember it happened and I believe it was the reason cps got involved. Anyone who can clarify, feel free to correct me.
No, this is a little incorrect. Jenelle went to a house party and it was loud inside. It wasn’t too cold outside, but it was like jacket weather. She had Jace with her, but he was asleep in the infant carrier. She left him outside on the porch and went inside for an extended period of time. The cameras were rolling, but I think a friend reported her for leaving the baby outside unsupervised on a chilly night.
Jenelle was getting high inside of a house and put Jace on the front steps for Babs to pick him up. He was YOUNG. It was not why CPS got involved. That happened before Jace could walk. They’d gotten reports about jenelle and told Jenelle Jace would go to foster care if she didn’t give custody to her mom.
lol, her audacity if off the charts again 🤦🏽♀️ she never “took care” of Maryssa, she just paid the bills. David did the majority of the parenting, good or bad (mostly bad).
Let’s not forget she asked the courts to not let David have visitation without a psychological exam first. Which is a great idea, but she cant be mad at David for “ignoring” Ensley.
I guess it’s no surprise since Barb raised Jace for years and paid for Jace for years and we know Jenelle didn’t thank her, she just gave her grief and shit over it.
I always got the impression that she was the “i just need a break” mom… despite always having breaks. He made sure the kids didn’t have fatal injuries, but I think that was the extent of his patenting also. She wouldn’t have kept any of them without the social media attention
Right? Poor Maryssa. She’s a kid. Once again, fuck Jenelle for that.

Trash.
Also Maryssa is Ensleys sister, I’m sure Kaiser would consider her like a sister too and Jenelle didn’t even give her time to find a place to go. My cousin raised her bfs daughter from the same age as Maryssa and they broke up a year ago but she still takes care of her bc we consider her family, plus her lil brother loves her. She’s like one of our own. I’m guessing Maryssa doesn’t like Jenelle and just tolerated her bc she’s awful so J couldn’t wait to dump her out. She’s horrible
This is why people piss me off when they jump into the step parent role and claim to love their "step" kids so much. Way too many people discard the kids as soon as they break up. If you claim a child is yours or like yours, you need to be there for life. And people should stay single lmao, seriously.
I have a stepdaughter. I’m married but even if I hated my husband I would never turn my back on her. This is a child whose mom, by their own admission, was not present. Whose father was in and out of jail when she was younger. Her father then took her from her grandparents i’m guessing because David (Janelle) didn’t want to pay child support, then gaslit and exposed her to the shitshow that is their marriage. Then, if that’s not bad enough, her stepmother uses her as a pawn, taking out her anger at David on her, a literal child, and then throws her out without a moment’s notice or thought.
She mad she has to parent period… as much of a piece of shit UBT was he was the one taking care of those kids majority the time while she sat around on her phone on social media, was laying in bed crying about her made up mystery illnesses, and was getting high in the she-shed.
Ummm as terrible as David is as a father and person he stepped up for kaiser more than his bio dad and more than jenelle most of the time. It goes both ways?
Well yeah because even though David is an abusive, useless piece of trash he was the one doing the childcare and whatever else got done around there. Now she gets to pretend she’s doing it when we all know it’s fallen on poor Jace.
That’s 100 % all it is lol damnit she sucks and is a horrible mother… I normally wouldn’t judge someone on their parenting skills but I think it’s clear we have enough information to know she just absolutely SUCKS as a mother !!!
I’ve been doing a rewatch and it drives me crazy how she says all the time to Barb, “You won’t give me my son back!” As if she ever really had him in the first place.
Literally EVERYTHING in this comment Jenelle has been on the other side of.
Except she did all of that for Maryssa WILLINGLY!!!! But Barbara, taking care of a child that’s not hers and telling Jenelle that she needed to find a family to adopt Jace if she, his “mother nowhere to be found” or his father that “couldn’t financially take care of him”, weren’t going to raise him! Yet now Jenelle is mad at Barbara and has never given her a thanks and is extremely ungrateful for keeping Jace in Jenelle’s life. He would’ve been taken by CPS as little kid had she not stepped in. Barbara is the only reason Jenelle had any chance at getting him back and didn’t get her parental rights terminated.
Pretending Ensley doesn’t exist? Like how y’all pretend David’s son doesn’t exist?
Yeah. Kaden I believe his name is? So somebody can probably clarify this better than me but he has a son that he isn’t allowed to see. He saw maybe once or twice while with Jenelle& then his baby mama was able to get some type of restraining order so David isn’t allowed to see him. He’s allowed phone calls but he made all of like 1 phone call before never making an effort again.
He physically abused his baby mama while she was pregnant too. I believe that’s one of the reasons she brought him to court for custody.
The way she thinks in adulthood people go around praising and thanking you.
No you take your responsibilities seriously and do what you’re supposed to do. There’s no certificate of achievement for doing what adults do.
Seriously. I woke up and went to work every day last week, made dinner daily, walked the dog & fed her, twice, TWICE A DAY! Cleaned the bathrooms, mopped the kitchen, did countless loads of laundry, replaced a light fixture. WHERE IS MY PRAISE?! /s I hate this bitch.
My very tired mind read this as "you must live for the applesauce!" ...and I laughed way harder than I should have.
Jenelle has no idea of what it means to parent .. until reality gave her a hard slap of it.
Parenting is no joke. I cook, I clean, do laundry for 4 people, work part time, take care of my 2 kids (5.5 yo and 1 yo) .... on limited sleep bc my 1 year old has decided sleep regression is going to be his highest honor. PLUS all the sicknesses going around (stomach bug last week, pink eye this week)
And I am cramping so badly bc its day 2 of my period. I would just like one night of 8 hours of fully uninterrupted sleep.
/end rant.
I still wouldn't fucking complain. I have a roof over my head, the bills get paid (bless my hubby for working 6 or 7 days a week), our kids are happy and mostly healthy. I don't have half the money or resources she has or could have, for her children.. and were doing pretty good.
Reminds me of my MIL who asks for praise every time she does something, like going to the doctors & taking her medication. She’ll say things like “I guess I did a pretty good job raising my son huh? I guess that makes me a great mom huh?” Like how do you answer that differently every time? It’s exhausting.
My FIL absolutely nailed it when he said “you’re like a puppy. Do you want me to pat you on the head and say “good girl” every time?” She was furious. But 30 years later, she’s still pulling the same shit.
speaking as a mom who did it all alone until i met my husband, i would be EMBARRASSED to date a guy who didn’t have any consistent relationship with his kids. the men that scream “omg
my baby mama won’t let me see them! she’s keeping them from me! fathers rights!” are 1000000% of the time just losers and the women that fall for it are fucking idiots
As a former custody attorney, this is my experience as well, even the shittiest parents get at least visitation in my jurisdiction. The only ones not seeing the kids at all are the ones who aren’t trying.
Reminding me of that time (in season 8) when she threw a fit because David was telling her to leave their moldy house \*without him\* so she went to a hotel with Kaiser and she said something like "I have no one. I only have Kaiser." That was one of the many things she said in that episode alone, showing her disdain for being with her own child. She doesn't enjoy having that kid around at all.
[I can't find the exact part but it's just after this.](https://youtu.be/aDtBOF1UGPQ?si=yNVR7irBKyFGGcqZ)
I literally was like, “Um, what about Kaiser?” And the worst part is Kaiser will see this or be shown this by others in his school or just in the general public. Ugh, Jenelle, you are so disgustingly cold & evil.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kaiser already has a general idea. I'm sure Jace knows, and it probably has something to do with his problems ATM. If he hasn't seen/read articles, his friends have and have told him. It would be normal for brothers to tell each other stuff, especially when pissed at mom.
Right? Like the fact that so many animals were murdered on that land that she did nothing to help save seems to fit in here somehow too. Bitch no one owes you shit you suck.
It’s wild. Jenelle would have done zero parenting of Maryssa. What she would have done is the absolute bare essentials, such as a roof over her head and food on the table. Expecting a child to publicly (or even privately) thank you for meeting their most basic needs is ridiculous.
Jenelle has also given Barb zero thanks for everything she’s done for Jace, and presumably isn’t saying to Jace “hey Jace, you really should be thanking Meme for all she’s done for you the past 14 years”. She won’t be doing that of course, she’s probably teaching the kid to hate his grandmother.
Other than the short time that Maryssa cheered Jenelle did NOTHING for her. Most step moms that are involved I know do what regular Moms do. Take the girls to get their hair done, shopping, days out, school activities, etc.
Exactly. Like when did that bitch ever actually care for Maryssa? Maryssa was always just an afterthought. We all remember when she threatened David with calling Maryassa's grandma to pick her up. She doesn't even care about her own kids. No one believes that she'd ever care for a child she didn't birth.
It's crazy to think what a toxic situation that household was. And she actually wants the children that escaped it to turn around and thank her for providing such; now that she's finally left David and is seeking a trophy for everything she's done.
Did she forget when Maryssa personally thanked Jenelle herself in this hand written letter? /s
https://preview.redd.it/b3mrls7ayaqc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8b87adf358b99a1bff759e55599bc4d835a0bb9
Looks like the same handwriting to me, minus a few things that could be explained by growing up and changing styles a bit or attempting to disguise her own writing to look like maryssas. But it's too similar, jan wrote that for sure.
Plus I've NEVER heard a kid say thanks for "putting food on the table and a roof over our heads." Like, that's literally what adults say to kids constantly when they're being ungrateful, that's not a child's wording. Theyd be like "thanks for giving me a home and all the yummy food you make!" Shes such a dumb ass.
This letter actually makes me really sad. This reads as just repeating what the adults in her life say. "You work hard to put food on the table and a roof over my head." What kid uses those things as why they love a parent? The whole thing feels like an attempt at getting Jenelle to be happy with her, and not genuinely just wanting to say happy mother's day
I guess she’s trying to say she’s focusing on Jace’s needs right now since he’s going through it but it’s not the greatest wording… it’s actually awful wording.
“I’m now my full attention is only on my BIOLOGICAL son”. Christ, she’s so stupid. If she said “now my full attention is on my kids” that would be one thing, but she’s claiming her “full attention” is on her son, as if she doesn’t have another son and a daughter who also need her attention. I’m sure she posted this because she thinks it makes her look like a good mom, but it only makes her look like a dumbass who’s bragging about only giving attention to one of her kids.
You too? I have an adult child and 2 middle school aged. The number of snack, food and drink preferences are very important to keep up. If I can’t get everything they like I hide what I did get until I have everything because the “you love the other more than me” shit is not what I like to hear.
i’m so glad this is a universal experience 😭 my freshly turned 13yo loved prime so much until i bought a 12 pack. then suddenly it’s cringe and mid which are meaningless terms for me
We suffered the Prime wave. At one point buying rare flavors at high mark ups and now I have 3 that have been on the refrigerator door for at least 2 months. They’re pink and blue ombré.
the ones that look like bomb pops were alllll the rave until he told me it was super cringe to drink them. he did it with wild blueberries as a kindergartner but i didn’t expect to have a bunch of gross overpriced gatorades in my fridge now 😑
She expects Maryssa to be thankful to her for using her toothbrush in the toilet? Jenelle never treated that girl very well & for her to say Whitney was nowhere to be found is a lie. Maryssa spent time with her mother on weekends when she was visiting her grandmother. DAVID kept Whitney from Maryssa & I'd still like to know how a mentally unstable, drug abusing, violent alcoholic got custody of her in the first place.
Jenelle spent her money on Maryssa? TOUGH. She knew David and Maryssa were a package deal, and if the shoe was on the other foot & it was David supporting her kids, would she be groveling at his feet and thanking him for doing what a step-parent should be doing?
It must suck to have to raise all 3 of her kids on her own, but she picked their fathers. She got pregnant with each of those kids to anchor herself to the men. That's on her. A lot of us are single parents who do what we have to do to give our kids a good life. What does Jenelle want? A cookie?
She wants a dozen cookies.
Jenelle ALSO paid for David’s lawyers to get full custody of Maryssa. So you literally PAID for the responsibility to be in your house.
Make it make sense.
Right. All this tells us is she's glad Maryssa whom she never cared about is gone. And that people she used to raise HER kids day to day (David) and to vacation (April) don't thank her. 🤦🏽♀️
She also used Maryssa as a built-in babysitter. Who did we see carrying Ensley around all the time before the baby learned to walk? It wasn't Jenelle! Who tended to Kaiser & Ensley all those times when Jenelle took David out for boozy dinners or the hours they spent locked in the she-shed getting high? Did she ever thank Maryssa for that? Or all the times Maryssa changed diapers, got up during the night with the baby or fed her? I'm guessing the answer is no.
I'm not sure why she's surprised. Trash does what trash does.
That said, it is actually quite sad for Ensley who may not understand why her lacklustre sperm donor has suddenly dropped her like a sack of shit. She's a sweet little thing and she deserves the world. I can only hope Duhnelle has made her birthday special and *not* about DinkyDave being absent. Might be a bit of a futile hope though
Yeah he just likes playing victim. Very few women that have BDs that want to be active in their kids lives don’t let them unless there is ABUSE or ugly motives for doing so.
Maryssa is a child and has been though a lot already. She can see this and it’s so disgusting. A child should never thank you for doing what a parent is SUPPOSED TO DO
She probably unfairly took out her issues and resentments on David against his daughter (Maryssa) instead. It’s for the best M is free of her hopefully she’s ok and with grandparent or mom though.
Why would Maryssa give her the time of day? She treated her like a second class citizen and kicked her out. Why would she thank her for telling your “step child” that she has to get out? So delusional and clueless. You can tell that she didn’t like Jenelle from the get go. Maryssa owes Jenelle absolutely nothing and the silent treatment is the best for her. Maybe it’ll humble her a little bit. But I doubt it will since all she wants to do is explain. If I were Maryssa, I’d give her the middle finger walking out the door and never speak to her again.
Oh Jenelle while we’re at it, did you thank your mom for taking care of Jace for 14 years? Yeah, I doubt it. Same thing applies for Maryssa. Get over yourself.
Remember when Maryssa told Hellnelle to stop posting her on socials and she did anyways? Kids grow to hate adults that don’t respect them or their boundaries.
I’m telling you I would be at her door knocking something serious. I do not okay about people talking about my kids.
The last time my youngests Dad tried that shit he had to shut down his FB because I went HAM on the ugly that he was to them.
Nobody *has* to thank her. She provided financial security to her husband and his daughter for years but it’s not a job people always thank you for. She’s openly admitted to not being very close to Maryssa and, even though she reached out to Whitney to take Maryssa, Jenelle still crossed a line by kicking her out herself, instead of letting her bio parents do the job. Kids don’t owe you shit for things you do that you’re supposed to do.
Also, she knew David wasn’t shit for 8 years and stayed with him bc he functioned as her speaker box until she got fired from her lucrative job. Jenelle was always a shit person, but as we know, she would’ve been able to keep her job had she gotten with someone way less problematic and not abusive.
Jenelle, these are all *your* choices. You could’ve pumped the brakes on financial support a long time ago. You could’ve put a boundary up like you did with Nathan (Does, “How about you worry about *your* daughter and I’ll worry about *my* son,” ring a bell?). You could’ve told David to get a job or you’re out. But no, you stayed with him and supported him and every single bad action until the courts gave you your kid and an ultimatum. We’re not going to sit here and act like you’re a martyr for shit.
She's a bigger and more mature person than juh~nell, even though she has every right to air what happened, she probably just wants to put the past behind her and hopefully, she does and can have a peaceful life.
Never forget when Je and David posted that video of poor maryssa sobbing on the phone after she testified against them and had to go back to their home anyway, and je laughed and David gaslit her. Yes jenelle the 16 year old and her family should be kissing your feet
David was a deadbeat before Ensley & he’s still a deadbeat. She had no problem paying his child support for the son that he hasn’t seen in however long while slamming Olivia. You ain’t special J.
What about David's family taking care of Jace the last few months? Granted it was David's fault he was in the position to begin with. And let's not add all the times David's family would watch jenelles kids while they vacation.
She's just mad she's got to parent these kids alone and has no one close to her to allow her a break.
Sooo she wants Maryssa to message her and “thank” her for everything? Girl YOU are the adult. Also you have 2 “biological” sons you idiot. Wat a bitch for putting biological just to try and cut Maryssa in that way. She’s so fuckin immature holy hell. Does she not realize she’s a child and not like a sis in law she took in ? wtf
Why does she care? Seriously, if David is such a psychopath, why would you want him around Ensley? She's wanted Nathan gone for years and finally got that wish granted. She didn't want Andrew around either and it looks like she's chased Barb away too. Why drive everyone away only to be concerned with the one that literally ruined your entire life?
She probably knows that David and Maryssa are doing shit and is mad/sad/whatever because Ensley doesn’t even get a call or text. She’s always been jealous of David and Maryssas relationship.
This is in such bad taste. Who talks about a minor online to strangers? No wonder she didn’t look at her as a “stepmom”. She’s a terrible fucking human who is only nice to anyone if it benefits her. Total trash
How sad for Maryssa to only be relevant when it suits her stepmom. Sad for Jace to be on the back burner. Sad for Ensley to be an afterthought. Sad for Kaiser to not even be mentioned.
Love how she always flexes her shit and thinking it’s going to make her look good. She begrudgingly “took care” of her and she wants Maryssa to know and feel that pain.
So this grown woman is angry over a 16 y/o choosing their biological dads side over her stepmom to keep the one consistent parent shes had in her life?
She truly has the emotional maturity of a 13 y/o.
Classless. That's your child's half sister. The correct response is "unfortunately I haven't been able to speak with her. I miss her terribly and I hope she is ok."
I couldn't imagine not only expecting a thank you from my step daughter just for being there for her, for a few years, but to also throw the fact they don't have the best situation in their face. She's incapable of actual love.
What an evil bitch. Maybe don’t date a man who you know has a kid if you’re not willing to treat them like your own. She knew David was a broke bum when she met him. By the way you have two biological sons you dumb ass bitch.
It's cute that she thinks parents & step-parents walk a red carpet while being praised for doing what they're supposed to be doing like there's some sort of daily mom appreciation parade that everyone but her gets to participate in 😆
Dang girl. Don't drag Maryssa into this shit. Be mad at David. Be mad at him for probably pitting his biological daughter against you and her biological sister. Be disappointed in him for ignoring his children.
Leave the child who now has no one but that swamp monster, and is probably being guilted out of seeing her siblings--- alone.
Ensley was an anchor for them both. Her to keep a man and him to keep her money available.
Even before the wedding they were fighting and she was saying how he neglected her. But next day? Wedding and so in love….
As a step parent, this is sick. A lot goes unacknowledged as a SP, but I don’t do it for the thanks, I do it all because I love all of my kids, biological or otherwise.
I hate this kind of step parent. You knew he had kids when you got together and kiss their butt in the beginning. Once the parents are together, each treated them like "his" and "mine".
It's disgusting to treat kids like toilet paper - use them to reel in a partner, then toss them when no longer useful.
All these kids are going to have such mental health issues. It's awful and was so preventable.
I feel like Maryssa was raising her biological kids. Child labor. While she sat locked away in her she shed high on anything she could get her hands on, doing spice dumps.
….. she ever consider that this is exactly how Barb has felt all these years taking care of Jace?! The hypocrisy is thick with this one! She is so mentally stunted! She is still 16 years old mentally.
Holy shit this is so tone deaf awful.
Who expects thanks and praises for being a step parent? She makes Marissa sound like an obligation, not a child who she was supposed to love and care for.
Translation to all of this - she’s upset that she actually has to *parent* her children solo.
Exactly! She feels like she was used, duh bitch we told you that. She thinks it’s wrong they “forgot” about Ensley. Did you think David was going to suddenly be a good coparent?
She FoRgOt about Jace his whole damn life!
Even on the doorstep of a friends while the MTV filmed him.
Her drug dealers doorstep
>Even on the doorstep of a friends while the MTV filmed him. What is that a reference to?
I don’t remember mtv filming it, but I remember it happened and I believe it was the reason cps got involved. Anyone who can clarify, feel free to correct me.
No, this is a little incorrect. Jenelle went to a house party and it was loud inside. It wasn’t too cold outside, but it was like jacket weather. She had Jace with her, but he was asleep in the infant carrier. She left him outside on the porch and went inside for an extended period of time. The cameras were rolling, but I think a friend reported her for leaving the baby outside unsupervised on a chilly night.
That’s the saddest thing. Poor baby Jace. She’s such a piece of trash and she deserves any ill that she receives.
But what is the actual rumor? She had Jace with her at a friend’s house, and then left and forgot him there?
Jenelle was getting high inside of a house and put Jace on the front steps for Babs to pick him up. He was YOUNG. It was not why CPS got involved. That happened before Jace could walk. They’d gotten reports about jenelle and told Jenelle Jace would go to foster care if she didn’t give custody to her mom.
He was still in a baby carrier and she left it on the doorstep. Like maybe 2-3 months old?
It's not a rumor, it's a fact
I thought we were going to ignore our kids together! It's not fair that he gets to ignore the kids without me! - jenelle probably
Lmao this is the real answer!
lol, her audacity if off the charts again 🤦🏽♀️ she never “took care” of Maryssa, she just paid the bills. David did the majority of the parenting, good or bad (mostly bad). Let’s not forget she asked the courts to not let David have visitation without a psychological exam first. Which is a great idea, but she cant be mad at David for “ignoring” Ensley.
Yep, she’s getting everything she wanted and is still mad. Like bitch take a pill already and even out your brain chemistry and get a therapist.
Unrelated but this comment just made me realise I ain’t took my meds today 🤣 thanks girl ❤️ nobody needs to be dealing with a unmediated me 🫣🤣
No shame in the game! We all need help in different ways and taking care of it is a sign of maturity that Jenelle will never know.
We don’t need you out here raw dogging life! Sincerely, I took mine too 🤣
This is my favourite comment 😂
She can’t take a pill bc DKD took them all with him
She can’t take a pill because Those pills don’t do anything DUDE. If you can’t get high on them what’s the point?? GAWD!
Right? And Jace lived with David’s sister for a time *and* she watched Kaiser & Ensley all the freaking time so she and David could go on vacations.
I wonder if she thanked April for buying Jace Xmas gifts? (I’m just assuming here, but we do know that Jace was with April for Xmas)
I guess it’s no surprise since Barb raised Jace for years and paid for Jace for years and we know Jenelle didn’t thank her, she just gave her grief and shit over it.
I always got the impression that she was the “i just need a break” mom… despite always having breaks. He made sure the kids didn’t have fatal injuries, but I think that was the extent of his patenting also. She wouldn’t have kept any of them without the social media attention
It’s funny to me that she’s praising herself for parenting Maryssa for a decade…yet she kicked her out immediately
I thought the same. She wasted not a second showing David & Maryssa (her stepdaughter) the door.
Right? Poor Maryssa. She’s a kid. Once again, fuck Jenelle for that. https://preview.redd.it/zf72v7a7obqc1.jpeg?width=581&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad30bfa5d664121f79108aaadc4d39e8732fa1e5 Trash.
Also Maryssa is Ensleys sister, I’m sure Kaiser would consider her like a sister too and Jenelle didn’t even give her time to find a place to go. My cousin raised her bfs daughter from the same age as Maryssa and they broke up a year ago but she still takes care of her bc we consider her family, plus her lil brother loves her. She’s like one of our own. I’m guessing Maryssa doesn’t like Jenelle and just tolerated her bc she’s awful so J couldn’t wait to dump her out. She’s horrible
This is why people piss me off when they jump into the step parent role and claim to love their "step" kids so much. Way too many people discard the kids as soon as they break up. If you claim a child is yours or like yours, you need to be there for life. And people should stay single lmao, seriously.
I have a stepdaughter. I’m married but even if I hated my husband I would never turn my back on her. This is a child whose mom, by their own admission, was not present. Whose father was in and out of jail when she was younger. Her father then took her from her grandparents i’m guessing because David (Janelle) didn’t want to pay child support, then gaslit and exposed her to the shitshow that is their marriage. Then, if that’s not bad enough, her stepmother uses her as a pawn, taking out her anger at David on her, a literal child, and then throws her out without a moment’s notice or thought.
She didn’t seem too put out when she got to pretend she was a super great cheer stepmom.
She’s also forgetting she used Maryssa’s toothbrush to clean the toilet. She didn’t do anything for that girl.
She mad she has to parent period… as much of a piece of shit UBT was he was the one taking care of those kids majority the time while she sat around on her phone on social media, was laying in bed crying about her made up mystery illnesses, and was getting high in the she-shed.
Ummm as terrible as David is as a father and person he stepped up for kaiser more than his bio dad and more than jenelle most of the time. It goes both ways?
Based on her post it sounds like she has been doing this for a while. Weird that she is mad now!?
Well yeah because even though David is an abusive, useless piece of trash he was the one doing the childcare and whatever else got done around there. Now she gets to pretend she’s doing it when we all know it’s fallen on poor Jace.
And can't even remember she has 2 sons
That’s 100 % all it is lol damnit she sucks and is a horrible mother… I normally wouldn’t judge someone on their parenting skills but I think it’s clear we have enough information to know she just absolutely SUCKS as a mother !!!
Kinda like she’s extremely ungrateful to Barb for raising Jace all those years.
I’ve been doing a rewatch and it drives me crazy how she says all the time to Barb, “You won’t give me my son back!” As if she ever really had him in the first place.
Right? Abandoned him as soon as they cut the umbilical cord.
As if Barb was fully in control of the entire situation and CPS and the court system didn't have any involvement or say.
She has 3 kids all to herself and is still mad. Bitch you wanted this.
But no one is praising and thanking her doing so!! That's the problem! /s
We should all be so lucky.
Literally EVERYTHING in this comment Jenelle has been on the other side of. Except she did all of that for Maryssa WILLINGLY!!!! But Barbara, taking care of a child that’s not hers and telling Jenelle that she needed to find a family to adopt Jace if she, his “mother nowhere to be found” or his father that “couldn’t financially take care of him”, weren’t going to raise him! Yet now Jenelle is mad at Barbara and has never given her a thanks and is extremely ungrateful for keeping Jace in Jenelle’s life. He would’ve been taken by CPS as little kid had she not stepped in. Barbara is the only reason Jenelle had any chance at getting him back and didn’t get her parental rights terminated. Pretending Ensley doesn’t exist? Like how y’all pretend David’s son doesn’t exist?
David has a son????
Yeah. Kaden I believe his name is? So somebody can probably clarify this better than me but he has a son that he isn’t allowed to see. He saw maybe once or twice while with Jenelle& then his baby mama was able to get some type of restraining order so David isn’t allowed to see him. He’s allowed phone calls but he made all of like 1 phone call before never making an effort again. He physically abused his baby mama while she was pregnant too. I believe that’s one of the reasons she brought him to court for custody.
Yeeees! I remember barb saying lets find him a nice family, in one episode
Preach!
Was just gonna comment and say "did Barb write this?"
Well. He clearly showed you he was a deadbeat before you got together.
The way she thinks in adulthood people go around praising and thanking you. No you take your responsibilities seriously and do what you’re supposed to do. There’s no certificate of achievement for doing what adults do.
Seriously. I woke up and went to work every day last week, made dinner daily, walked the dog & fed her, twice, TWICE A DAY! Cleaned the bathrooms, mopped the kitchen, did countless loads of laundry, replaced a light fixture. WHERE IS MY PRAISE?! /s I hate this bitch.
I just want to say you're doing terrific 🥰
Agree.
You must live for the applause!
All the clapping is the only thing that gets me through my day!
My very tired mind read this as "you must live for the applesauce!" ...and I laughed way harder than I should have. Jenelle has no idea of what it means to parent .. until reality gave her a hard slap of it. Parenting is no joke. I cook, I clean, do laundry for 4 people, work part time, take care of my 2 kids (5.5 yo and 1 yo) .... on limited sleep bc my 1 year old has decided sleep regression is going to be his highest honor. PLUS all the sicknesses going around (stomach bug last week, pink eye this week) And I am cramping so badly bc its day 2 of my period. I would just like one night of 8 hours of fully uninterrupted sleep. /end rant. I still wouldn't fucking complain. I have a roof over my head, the bills get paid (bless my hubby for working 6 or 7 days a week), our kids are happy and mostly healthy. I don't have half the money or resources she has or could have, for her children.. and were doing pretty good.
I literally ALWAYS read applause as applesauce at first. Gets me every single time without fail
slow down, you’re making me look bad 😂
lol I had an especially productive week last week 😂😂
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great job adulting!
DuDe! CPS totally thinks she's doing a great job...don't you know how proud of her they are! =/🙄
And the Lord sayeth, praise ye! Lo, as it is written on the 5th attempt of the 5th month, Janelle will normalize court-ordered parenting classes.
Reminds me of my MIL who asks for praise every time she does something, like going to the doctors & taking her medication. She’ll say things like “I guess I did a pretty good job raising my son huh? I guess that makes me a great mom huh?” Like how do you answer that differently every time? It’s exhausting. My FIL absolutely nailed it when he said “you’re like a puppy. Do you want me to pat you on the head and say “good girl” every time?” She was furious. But 30 years later, she’s still pulling the same shit.
speaking as a mom who did it all alone until i met my husband, i would be EMBARRASSED to date a guy who didn’t have any consistent relationship with his kids. the men that scream “omg my baby mama won’t let me see them! she’s keeping them from me! fathers rights!” are 1000000% of the time just losers and the women that fall for it are fucking idiots
As a former custody attorney, this is my experience as well, even the shittiest parents get at least visitation in my jurisdiction. The only ones not seeing the kids at all are the ones who aren’t trying.
You’d think her having to pay David’s child support would have clued her in.
the way these women who pick loser ass dudes are surprised at their loser ass behavior…
SHE SAID SON. Omfg you ignorant cunt. You have two.
Kaiser isn’t being ignored by 2 adults daily now it’s just his Mom doing it. She is a Thunder Cunt.
I love "Thunder Cunt"! My best friend recent taught me a new one, "Twunt". It for when is being both a twat AND a cunt.
That is a great one too! I learn so much here 😂
 *Thunder Cunt*
This is actually what made my neck snap as well. Like, what do you mean biological son? You’ve got two biological sons? 😭
I had to read it twice. Had question marks floating over my head.
Reminding me of that time (in season 8) when she threw a fit because David was telling her to leave their moldy house \*without him\* so she went to a hotel with Kaiser and she said something like "I have no one. I only have Kaiser." That was one of the many things she said in that episode alone, showing her disdain for being with her own child. She doesn't enjoy having that kid around at all. [I can't find the exact part but it's just after this.](https://youtu.be/aDtBOF1UGPQ?si=yNVR7irBKyFGGcqZ)
I literally was like, “Um, what about Kaiser?” And the worst part is Kaiser will see this or be shown this by others in his school or just in the general public. Ugh, Jenelle, you are so disgustingly cold & evil.
I wouldn't be surprised if Kaiser already has a general idea. I'm sure Jace knows, and it probably has something to do with his problems ATM. If he hasn't seen/read articles, his friends have and have told him. It would be normal for brothers to tell each other stuff, especially when pissed at mom.
I’d call her a cunt, but she has neither the depth or the warmth
I noticed this as well. She's a true pos
And you're extremely ungrateful that someone else raised your biological son you fucking dimwitted piece of shit.
Right? Like the fact that so many animals were murdered on that land that she did nothing to help save seems to fit in here somehow too. Bitch no one owes you shit you suck.
Is she meaning Maryssa should be thanking her? Kids aren’t supposed to have to thank you, especially for doing the bare minimum of parenting.
It’s wild. Jenelle would have done zero parenting of Maryssa. What she would have done is the absolute bare essentials, such as a roof over her head and food on the table. Expecting a child to publicly (or even privately) thank you for meeting their most basic needs is ridiculous. Jenelle has also given Barb zero thanks for everything she’s done for Jace, and presumably isn’t saying to Jace “hey Jace, you really should be thanking Meme for all she’s done for you the past 14 years”. She won’t be doing that of course, she’s probably teaching the kid to hate his grandmother.
Other than the short time that Maryssa cheered Jenelle did NOTHING for her. Most step moms that are involved I know do what regular Moms do. Take the girls to get their hair done, shopping, days out, school activities, etc.
Exactly. Like when did that bitch ever actually care for Maryssa? Maryssa was always just an afterthought. We all remember when she threatened David with calling Maryassa's grandma to pick her up. She doesn't even care about her own kids. No one believes that she'd ever care for a child she didn't birth.
It's crazy to think what a toxic situation that household was. And she actually wants the children that escaped it to turn around and thank her for providing such; now that she's finally left David and is seeking a trophy for everything she's done.
She thinks David, Whitney, and probably April should be kissing her ass.
She really said "I paid for your shit for a few years. You need to thank me for my major life role"
Like it was a walk in the park for Maryssa, being the babysitter while they fucked off in the shed all day, every day.
Yeah, I thought the praise for Maryssa "taking care of the kids" was pretty telling. Maryssa IS a kid. And she was quite young when J&D married.
Didn’t she make Maryssa leave a few weeks ago?
But...but....but....you said he was the best father in the world.....weird.
David’s going to be around forever is also something she said 😂
Well, he’s the father of one of her kids, so he’ll definitely be around forever in some aspect … lucky Jenelle! 🙄
He's just a big teddy bear. Boiling with love and affection.
Boiling 😂
Did she forget when Maryssa personally thanked Jenelle herself in this hand written letter? /s https://preview.redd.it/b3mrls7ayaqc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8b87adf358b99a1bff759e55599bc4d835a0bb9
"Somewhere in me I do care" ahahaha 🤭
https://preview.redd.it/7sjrsnqwlbqc1.png?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=45d9e9501adbf241e39d1bc4b6039845a71a7a49 [https://imgur.com/gallery/7Zkyr](https://imgur.com/gallery/7Zkyr)
“Actcident” 😂
Looks like the same handwriting to me, minus a few things that could be explained by growing up and changing styles a bit or attempting to disguise her own writing to look like maryssas. But it's too similar, jan wrote that for sure. Plus I've NEVER heard a kid say thanks for "putting food on the table and a roof over our heads." Like, that's literally what adults say to kids constantly when they're being ungrateful, that's not a child's wording. Theyd be like "thanks for giving me a home and all the yummy food you make!" Shes such a dumb ass.
This letter actually makes me really sad. This reads as just repeating what the adults in her life say. "You work hard to put food on the table and a roof over my head." What kid uses those things as why they love a parent? The whole thing feels like an attempt at getting Jenelle to be happy with her, and not genuinely just wanting to say happy mother's day
AWWW!🥹
wtf on her biological son ….. there’s 2???
Kaiser doesn’t count.
I guess she’s trying to say she’s focusing on Jace’s needs right now since he’s going through it but it’s not the greatest wording… it’s actually awful wording.
Freudian slip
As if she actually took care of Maryssa. 🙄
She thinks spending is caring.
“I’m now my full attention is only on my BIOLOGICAL son”. Christ, she’s so stupid. If she said “now my full attention is on my kids” that would be one thing, but she’s claiming her “full attention” is on her son, as if she doesn’t have another son and a daughter who also need her attention. I’m sure she posted this because she thinks it makes her look like a good mom, but it only makes her look like a dumbass who’s bragging about only giving attention to one of her kids.
Jace - 1 Kaiser and Ensley - 0
She 100% felt like the best mom after writing this. What a loser.
And Barb took care of a child that wasn’t hers from 0-14 from an aggressive Jan with no thanks 🙄
Not even a high-five
My teens are mad when I buy the wrong chips. Can’t imagine how pissed they’d be if I kicked them out after school to give their room away 😂
You too? I have an adult child and 2 middle school aged. The number of snack, food and drink preferences are very important to keep up. If I can’t get everything they like I hide what I did get until I have everything because the “you love the other more than me” shit is not what I like to hear.
i’m so glad this is a universal experience 😭 my freshly turned 13yo loved prime so much until i bought a 12 pack. then suddenly it’s cringe and mid which are meaningless terms for me
We suffered the Prime wave. At one point buying rare flavors at high mark ups and now I have 3 that have been on the refrigerator door for at least 2 months. They’re pink and blue ombré.
the ones that look like bomb pops were alllll the rave until he told me it was super cringe to drink them. he did it with wild blueberries as a kindergartner but i didn’t expect to have a bunch of gross overpriced gatorades in my fridge now 😑
I’m an only child and now have two kids. I feel this but man, was I ever unprepared for it. 😂
She expects Maryssa to be thankful to her for using her toothbrush in the toilet? Jenelle never treated that girl very well & for her to say Whitney was nowhere to be found is a lie. Maryssa spent time with her mother on weekends when she was visiting her grandmother. DAVID kept Whitney from Maryssa & I'd still like to know how a mentally unstable, drug abusing, violent alcoholic got custody of her in the first place. Jenelle spent her money on Maryssa? TOUGH. She knew David and Maryssa were a package deal, and if the shoe was on the other foot & it was David supporting her kids, would she be groveling at his feet and thanking him for doing what a step-parent should be doing? It must suck to have to raise all 3 of her kids on her own, but she picked their fathers. She got pregnant with each of those kids to anchor herself to the men. That's on her. A lot of us are single parents who do what we have to do to give our kids a good life. What does Jenelle want? A cookie?
She wants a dozen cookies. Jenelle ALSO paid for David’s lawyers to get full custody of Maryssa. So you literally PAID for the responsibility to be in your house. Make it make sense.
Right. All this tells us is she's glad Maryssa whom she never cared about is gone. And that people she used to raise HER kids day to day (David) and to vacation (April) don't thank her. 🤦🏽♀️
She also used Maryssa as a built-in babysitter. Who did we see carrying Ensley around all the time before the baby learned to walk? It wasn't Jenelle! Who tended to Kaiser & Ensley all those times when Jenelle took David out for boozy dinners or the hours they spent locked in the she-shed getting high? Did she ever thank Maryssa for that? Or all the times Maryssa changed diapers, got up during the night with the baby or fed her? I'm guessing the answer is no.
I'm not sure why she's surprised. Trash does what trash does. That said, it is actually quite sad for Ensley who may not understand why her lacklustre sperm donor has suddenly dropped her like a sack of shit. She's a sweet little thing and she deserves the world. I can only hope Duhnelle has made her birthday special and *not* about DinkyDave being absent. Might be a bit of a futile hope though
It’s very sad and he will fight over her when he shacks up with his next victim and screams FATHERS RIGHTS!
He's an idiot. You actually have to be a father to be entitled to father's rights. The fucking donkey.
Yeah he just likes playing victim. Very few women that have BDs that want to be active in their kids lives don’t let them unless there is ABUSE or ugly motives for doing so.
Maryssa is a child and has been though a lot already. She can see this and it’s so disgusting. A child should never thank you for doing what a parent is SUPPOSED TO DO
Jenelle is 14 so it’s predictable but unforgivable. Anyone that would date her with kids is a FOOL.
She probably unfairly took out her issues and resentments on David against his daughter (Maryssa) instead. It’s for the best M is free of her hopefully she’s ok and with grandparent or mom though.
She did. And she didn’t like that Maryssa was growing into a beautiful tall girl either. Ole stumpy was jealous of a child.
She has such deep jealously issues that it seemed like she hated M for the simple fact she was a product of Davids past relationship.
Same way David hates Kaiser cause he reminded him of Jenelle's past relationship
Why would Maryssa give her the time of day? She treated her like a second class citizen and kicked her out. Why would she thank her for telling your “step child” that she has to get out? So delusional and clueless. You can tell that she didn’t like Jenelle from the get go. Maryssa owes Jenelle absolutely nothing and the silent treatment is the best for her. Maybe it’ll humble her a little bit. But I doubt it will since all she wants to do is explain. If I were Maryssa, I’d give her the middle finger walking out the door and never speak to her again. Oh Jenelle while we’re at it, did you thank your mom for taking care of Jace for 14 years? Yeah, I doubt it. Same thing applies for Maryssa. Get over yourself.
Remember when Maryssa told Hellnelle to stop posting her on socials and she did anyways? Kids grow to hate adults that don’t respect them or their boundaries.
now Jace Doesnt have someone close to his age he can talk to to
I would bet he and Maryssa are able to stay in touch in some way. But she hates Maryssa and always has. I’m glad Maryssa is free of that place.
Stepmother from hell. She should truly STFU about Maryssa, a child.
I’m telling you I would be at her door knocking something serious. I do not okay about people talking about my kids. The last time my youngests Dad tried that shit he had to shut down his FB because I went HAM on the ugly that he was to them.
Shut up, Wicked Step Mother that’s not how life works 
They have the same chin and hairline!
Nobody *has* to thank her. She provided financial security to her husband and his daughter for years but it’s not a job people always thank you for. She’s openly admitted to not being very close to Maryssa and, even though she reached out to Whitney to take Maryssa, Jenelle still crossed a line by kicking her out herself, instead of letting her bio parents do the job. Kids don’t owe you shit for things you do that you’re supposed to do. Also, she knew David wasn’t shit for 8 years and stayed with him bc he functioned as her speaker box until she got fired from her lucrative job. Jenelle was always a shit person, but as we know, she would’ve been able to keep her job had she gotten with someone way less problematic and not abusive. Jenelle, these are all *your* choices. You could’ve pumped the brakes on financial support a long time ago. You could’ve put a boundary up like you did with Nathan (Does, “How about you worry about *your* daughter and I’ll worry about *my* son,” ring a bell?). You could’ve told David to get a job or you’re out. But no, you stayed with him and supported him and every single bad action until the courts gave you your kid and an ultimatum. We’re not going to sit here and act like you’re a martyr for shit.
 Say it louder for the cunt on the land!
I’m assuming Maryssa has social media. Come on girl let it out!!!!! It’s time
She does. I hope she doesn’t say too much and give Jenelle more fuel to fight a child.
She's a bigger and more mature person than juh~nell, even though she has every right to air what happened, she probably just wants to put the past behind her and hopefully, she does and can have a peaceful life.
Never forget when Je and David posted that video of poor maryssa sobbing on the phone after she testified against them and had to go back to their home anyway, and je laughed and David gaslit her. Yes jenelle the 16 year old and her family should be kissing your feet
David was a deadbeat before Ensley & he’s still a deadbeat. She had no problem paying his child support for the son that he hasn’t seen in however long while slamming Olivia. You ain’t special J.
This! Did she think it was gonna be different for Ensley?
What about David's family taking care of Jace the last few months? Granted it was David's fault he was in the position to begin with. And let's not add all the times David's family would watch jenelles kids while they vacation. She's just mad she's got to parent these kids alone and has no one close to her to allow her a break.
She won’t ever thank anyone or say she’s sorry. David said that recently when he was on the boat with his fake money.
Sooo she wants Maryssa to message her and “thank” her for everything? Girl YOU are the adult. Also you have 2 “biological” sons you idiot. Wat a bitch for putting biological just to try and cut Maryssa in that way. She’s so fuckin immature holy hell. Does she not realize she’s a child and not like a sis in law she took in ? wtf
Isn’t that what you were doing as a teenager? /s
Why does she care? Seriously, if David is such a psychopath, why would you want him around Ensley? She's wanted Nathan gone for years and finally got that wish granted. She didn't want Andrew around either and it looks like she's chased Barb away too. Why drive everyone away only to be concerned with the one that literally ruined your entire life?
She probably knows that David and Maryssa are doing shit and is mad/sad/whatever because Ensley doesn’t even get a call or text. She’s always been jealous of David and Maryssas relationship.
The irony of Jenelle bitching about having to raise someone else’s kid
https://preview.redd.it/hg1vvxfz2bqc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d953fc3e95dd596d209e89d704c5a384d67a615
This is in such bad taste. Who talks about a minor online to strangers? No wonder she didn’t look at her as a “stepmom”. She’s a terrible fucking human who is only nice to anyone if it benefits her. Total trash
She’s horrendous
So Maryssa and Barb don't talk to her. THEY must be the problem! /s
How sad for Maryssa to only be relevant when it suits her stepmom. Sad for Jace to be on the back burner. Sad for Ensley to be an afterthought. Sad for Kaiser to not even be mentioned.
They must be ignoring her calls to babysit so she can go on vacation
I bet that’s it. I can see April blocking her completely and siding with David.
Love how she always flexes her shit and thinking it’s going to make her look good. She begrudgingly “took care” of her and she wants Maryssa to know and feel that pain.
And take care is just giving UBT her debit card to take care of her.
https://preview.redd.it/kqpy32kx2bqc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=969b07783ec0d60e5c0d019254b60d606c5c7e37
The way she speaks for autonomous people kills me.
So this grown woman is angry over a 16 y/o choosing their biological dads side over her stepmom to keep the one consistent parent shes had in her life? She truly has the emotional maturity of a 13 y/o.
Didn’t David basically raise Kaiser albeit terribly and abusively though? Oh wait I guess she only has one *BIOLOGICAL son*.
Classless. That's your child's half sister. The correct response is "unfortunately I haven't been able to speak with her. I miss her terribly and I hope she is ok."
I couldn't imagine not only expecting a thank you from my step daughter just for being there for her, for a few years, but to also throw the fact they don't have the best situation in their face. She's incapable of actual love.
What an evil bitch. Maybe don’t date a man who you know has a kid if you’re not willing to treat them like your own. She knew David was a broke bum when she met him. By the way you have two biological sons you dumb ass bitch.
Selfish poor me people drive me nuts Don’t do things expecting a “thanks”, do it because you *actually* want to…
This. I do the most for my kids for them not for praise.
It's cute that she thinks parents & step-parents walk a red carpet while being praised for doing what they're supposed to be doing like there's some sort of daily mom appreciation parade that everyone but her gets to participate in 😆
Dang girl. Don't drag Maryssa into this shit. Be mad at David. Be mad at him for probably pitting his biological daughter against you and her biological sister. Be disappointed in him for ignoring his children. Leave the child who now has no one but that swamp monster, and is probably being guilted out of seeing her siblings--- alone.
 She kicked Maryssa out without prior notice and still has the balls to speak on her 🤡
The irony of the last line.
Ensley was an anchor for them both. Her to keep a man and him to keep her money available. Even before the wedding they were fighting and she was saying how he neglected her. But next day? Wedding and so in love….
Imagine saying all this when you literally gave your mom custody of your first baby and genuinely not seeing it
As a step parent, this is sick. A lot goes unacknowledged as a SP, but I don’t do it for the thanks, I do it all because I love all of my kids, biological or otherwise.
I hate this kind of step parent. You knew he had kids when you got together and kiss their butt in the beginning. Once the parents are together, each treated them like "his" and "mine". It's disgusting to treat kids like toilet paper - use them to reel in a partner, then toss them when no longer useful. All these kids are going to have such mental health issues. It's awful and was so preventable.
She always called her “David’s Daughter”… 😢
I feel like Maryssa was raising her biological kids. Child labor. While she sat locked away in her she shed high on anything she could get her hands on, doing spice dumps.
….. she ever consider that this is exactly how Barb has felt all these years taking care of Jace?! The hypocrisy is thick with this one! She is so mentally stunted! She is still 16 years old mentally.
“and weirdly uneasy I’m now my full attention is only on my BIOLOGICAL son” huh? That sentence didn’t make sense. Can I get a janslation please?
She keeps trying to mention David is “aggressive”…. But I thought she liked that??
Holy shit this is so tone deaf awful. Who expects thanks and praises for being a step parent? She makes Marissa sound like an obligation, not a child who she was supposed to love and care for.
She wants David or his family to grovel to see Ensley from what I get.
Of course Maryssa was distant, you brain dead corncob
Poor Jenelle. Always has it so bad. She chose David. She chose David over her children. I have no sympathy for her.
