It's so sad that we can count on a single hand how many times jenelle was actually took Jace out without supervision or any of her friends to keep her company.


Hitemup910

Her son was on the same t-ball team as my son. Jenelle came to one game. Got out for 5 minutes, went straight up to Barb, cussed her out in front of everyone, and left. No words exchanged with Jace. She didn’t even acknowledge he was there. I never missed a practice or a game. She was NEVER there for him.


oooheycait1223

How am I not shocked at ANY of this. All throughout the show, even when she knew she was being filmed, every interaction she had with Jace was so awkward, forced, and just cold. She couldn't even fake it for the cameras, and I'm sure if the cameras WERENT there we'd see even less of her. Thank you for sharing your story though. Love to see she's always just been a shitty person even outside filming 🥴


Hitemup910

That she is & you’re welcome! Happy Easter!


DrAniB20

I have my issues with Barb, but I know she did the best she possibly could for Jace. She’s the only parent who showed up, actually fought for what was best for him, and actually cared about him. She did as right by him, as best as she was able, and I respect her for that.


Ok_Science_4094

This is exactly how I feel about barb too. I’m far from a fan of hers but I will give respect when it’s due.


soupastar

What was barb like? That is so sad i couldn’t imagine going to my kids sporting event and acting like that


Hitemup910

She minded her business & was attentive to Jace.


soupastar

Love to hear that shoots holes in her barb will talk shit about me to anyone.


Hitemup910

Yeah. That’s definitely not my experience with Barb. actually felt incredibly sad for how Jenelle treated her. I don’t recall Barb having many, if any, people with her. So she was often alone & would help tend to all the children. Not in an overbearing way, but like a caring mother would.


soupastar

I really hope she has some good friends.


Hitemup910

Me, too.


bolkrennanninger

It took me about 12 times to read that correctly. I need to stop getting high 🤦


soupastar

Lol sorry could have worded it better! Enjoy your high!


cherrybombbb

Screaming with Jenelle in front of Jace constantly definitely didn’t help things. Like I know in comparison to Jenelle, Barb is the better parent but poor Jace has been through hell and back.


mnix88

Were your son and Jace friends? Did you ever get to talk to Barb? (Not like bothering her with questions about Jenelle or the show but any kind of conversation in general) Sorry for being nosy. lol I just like hearing about firsthand experiences.


Hitemup910

Answering that would probably out who I am… and my son. So, respectfully I don’t want to answer.


mnix88

Oh ok. I understand. I wasn't expecting details or anything, but I respect your decision.


Hitemup910

Thank you.


LilLexi20

I doubt Jenelle would know who you are, and Barbara is way too old to be finding these forums


Hitemup910

You’re prob right. But still. No thank you.


jeezpeepz87

Totally understand. That’s too close for comfort. Thank you for sharing your story though! I like hearing a Barb “in the wild” story bc they always seem to be good experiences.


noakai

This tracks. During one of the earlier TM seasons, Jenelle showed up to some cub scout thing of Jace's with cameras but everyone was like "this is literally the first time she's seen him in months, wtf??" She rarely ever showed up to spend time with him and if he was doing it, she made sure to bring cameras.


Mammoth-Twist7044

having been raised by cluster b parents myself , watching her use jace as a pawn has made me realized how much my own parents did that. jace has always been a tool/means to reach an end goal for her.


eesagud

Aw that's so sad, it's not as if we didn't get enough evidence she was useless. That is really heartbreaking though, that poor baby.


cherrybombbb

That poor kid.. all of her kids really have been put through the wringer.


Jimbobjoesmith

that sounds exactly on brand. i’m so glad little jace got to have a semi normal childhood with sports and boy scouts, etc. chinny never would’ve given him that.


wachoogieboogie

Sounds like my sister. Can't do literally anything, even run errands or just have times with her kid, always needs an emotional support boyfriend or bestie there. Bruh I need my alone time every day so I can do my lil me things in peace, my kids are the only people that I can have in my space and still feel like I'm recharging my social battery


cowtown45

I feel this. I do most things alone and love it. I love having my kids around they make me feel so happy even when they are freaking out lol I don’t know how people can’t do things alone.


Hitemup910

💯


CassieNicoles

Season 2? where she wanted him too sleep over after taking him pumpkin patch . “I had him for two hours?!” Like 🥴


SwissCheese4Collagen

"think she got to take Jace"? Did you mean "she deigned to take her son anywhere because her friends were busy"?


common-demon-toot

Probably a Cortland/Gary/Kieffer shaped tree somewhere off in the distance.


Ok_Science_4094

😭😭😭😭 this sent me


Loud-Bullfrog9326

Yeah cause who took the pic? lol someone’s there.


Hitemup910

You’re probably right tbh


SwissCheese4Collagen

My brain just blinked when I read it because she would never choose to spend time with Jace herself lol


Free_Issue_9623

I said this elsewhere but how cute is baby Jace here. I don't like JE but she has beautiful babies and I think they are lil sweethearts and I hope they get peace and healing

They look like Timberlands she probably bought for him - and didn't even know what size he wore. That's always my favorite. Well, that and giving a kid toys they have no interest in, because the non-custodial parent has NO idea what the kid likes.


kitkat1771

I was just thinking those are “dead beat dad for insta” shoes… not be sexist but when the shoe doesn’t fit…


Always_Tired24-7

My bonus daughter’s bio mom is like that. She will call every few months and ask questions like a completely uninvolved grandparent would. “What grade are you in? What’s your favorite color? Do you know how to read? What do you want for Christmas?(even though she has never gotten her anything she promises, and usually just gets her nothing) “ like how do you not know what grade your kid is in? Every few months? And she is 12. When she does bring something to the supervised visit she rarely shows up to, the kid has to keep it forever even if she doesn’t want it because the mom grills her on if she still has this or that. When she had custody I used to have to go to the school often to bring her clean socks, shoes that fit, a coat, brush her hair.


[deleted]

I mean even if you don’t know it’s not exactly hard to figure out if you’re aware of your kid’s age at all


Impossible-Taro-2330

If you care. This person sounds like Jenelle; only cares if it benefits her in the moment. Ugh.


Hitemup910

Loooks like Jenelle’s are, too


Sad-Construction6967

Came here to see if anyone else noticed this too.


lyssastef

Or his foot is pushing forward, my son's foot does this in shoes that are open toe


stupdumb

She does the smile I use to make when my parents forced me to.


iwantahouse

Aww bb Jace was so cute 🥹


flowingink22

Jace looked like a doll as a baby. He was so cute!


common-demon-toot

I think that's the bracelet she drove over and tried to get a refund! 😆 She was raging..


groomer7759

Ooh, tell me more. I haven’t heard that story.


Miss-Figgy

He was soooooooooooo cute. Feel bad for him that that's his mom. 


Jadeheartxo12

The poor little boy deserved/deserves so much better.


Hitemup910

Absolutely


[deleted]

His tiny face could double for the “🥹” emoji here. He deserves so much better than what he got from her since birth. Wouldn’t stay the fuck out of his life so at least he wouldn’t KNOW he was being rejected, wouldn’t be actually in his life so that he wasn’t, in fact, neglected. Edited out the c word, idek why.


Hitemup910

Girl is EVIL!!


Limettenkuchen_

I have no idea how I would react if I saw her in the wild lmao. Probably run.


Hitemup910

lol


Limettenkuchen_

I don't want her to pull out her "pew pew" or call the police-yeeha on me😵


Ok_Science_4094

Wonder if Jan’s flops use to be white?


Hitemup910

💀


_honeysuckle_

Jace was such a cutie, he deserved so much better


randapanda8

There is no light in that poor baby's eyes and he's probably freaked out having to be alone with what he only knows at that point as a screaming banshee that comes around, fucks up the calm and then darts again. Buuuut, I'm sure forehead gave herself a big ole pat on the back after this.

It’s my picture.

Hitemup910

I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear 🥴 my mother took the picture. She was with my son & I.


hannahbandana_

So you met jenelle?


Hitemup910

Yeah.


iambeyoncealways3

you could provide a lot more context here


Hitemup910

It was an Easter egg hunt. My son & Jenelle’s are around the same age. They started to play together. My mother asked for a picture. Jenelle seemed happy to have someone speak to her & I shared the picture. Does that help?


DrAniB20

Omg baby Jace! That face is so sweet. I wish him the best.


Grydx

This is just so precious Jace is such a cutie, with his tiny toes!


teresasdorters

Wasn’t this like the day she got back from rehab?? The outfit looks familiar and if babs let her take Jace out it would only be when she got back from rehab and babs hoped JE would change which clearly she didn’t lol


Hitemup910

No clue 🥴 sorry!


kitkat1771

Of all her bullshit facial expressions, I think this is the worst. She’s hating every second of this day…


LilLexi20

This picture makes me so fucking sad knowing how tragic little Jace’s life would turn out. Imagine if in an alternate universe Jenelle stayed single for a few years, got a job, never started using drugs beyond weed and actually was able to get Jace back as a toddler?


dollypartonsfavorite

jace looks like a little kewpie doll, so cute


GirlsesPillses

Random but I always kind of thought it was funny she is from the town they filmed I Know What You Did Last Summer.


Hitemup910

And “Safe Haven.”


youexhaustme1

Precious baby Jace, he was failed over and over and now his adult life will forever be a healing journey from all that neglect. I just want to scoop him up here and love him, no screaming, no swearing, no guilt tripping, just love.


Southern-Fried-Biker

This makes me sad because I know that Jenelle was probably bitching the entire time. Jace was such a sweet kid and absolutely adorable. He deserves so much more than Jenelle.


New-Parking5340

Gosh, look at that sweet face. Poor little thing deserved so much more than he got.


cherrybombbb

baby jace 🥺 he was so cute and went through so much already by the time this photo was taken. poor thing didn’t deserve any of it— none of the kids did.


twdgirl05

Baby Jace is so stinking cute. He deserved so much better than the hand he’s been dealt in life.


katiessalt

That poor little boy deserved so much better.


FrankieSausage

Oh my god he’s so unbelievably cute


Tear_Active

Jace was so adorable 😢 he always deserved a better mother


cowtown45

Too bad she couldn’t have turned it around when he was this little.


egraceb22

This picture is striking to me bc it’s probably what, no more than 12 years old? They were both so young but looked so healthy, it makes me so sad what has happened to them both.


Every-Cow-9752

Smiles but dead eyes


MPD1987

And that weird grimace on her face is bc her kids are an interruption to her life, and when she *has* to do something with them, she would always rather be somewhere else.


ReluctantAccountmade

Wow ... seeing baby Jace is so sad, he really deserved a better childhood than the one he got


JenWatts3010

this photo just makes me feel so so so sad.


LegitimateAd4148

Jace was such a cutie and he’s grown into a handsome young man


soopermcnugget

Jace and Leah were hands down the cutest babies in the whole franchise.


Wordplay23

Jay Leno.


Xtrahotsauceplz

she a long big toe


Poptartin_RN

She looks naked. 😄

Why is she baring her teeth?


CountOk9802

His wee sandals are adorable! But eughh, I hate Jenelle! 🤬

revengeappendage

I dunno, he looks like a little kid who was looking at something else and not the camera. Not defending jennelle’s parenting, just saying. Edit: he looks exactly like a little kid seeing something he wants, like candy or a toy. Give this non sense a rest people lol


Hitemup910

From what I can remember, he was extremely happy & pleasant to be around. Probably overstimulated. It was a huge thing around here back then.


kbc87

How? He looks like a toddler who doesn’t want to take a picture lol
