Ok the fact that Ty is the only one who showed up and he hadn’t RSVPed plus Barb’s comments about how the family is there and the rest don’t matter tells me she did something with the other attendees. Sent them the wrong time or address or something, but it’s Barb’s fault I’m certain.
That was my thoughts as well. Especially when she told Shawna "You know you're not good with these things." Or something like that. It's her fault and I can't wait until they tell her they're going "No contact."
I love the juxtaposition of the little girl childishly asking for cake from different people hoping for a different result and Barb doing the exact same thing asking where to put the playset up.
Oooh interesting thought! But, how in world would she even know how to reach every parent that rsvp’d? That would take some doing. I guess we’ll find out 😂
tbh i think that Ty did. the skits have been implying he's the tech guy. that way he made sure he was the special friend and all thankfulness would go to him.
this woman doing skits in her house in different fits has managed to entertain me better than any movie platform has in a while …that’s some talent ma’am
I am absolutely convinced Barb got ahold of the RSVP list and sent out something saying it was canceled. As soon as its brought up that guests aren't there yet, she shouts "the family is here", in hindsight very defensively. Then after she fed the cake she said, "why it's not like anyone else is coming" she knows at this point no one has shown up yet, but it feels way to soon to say for sure no one else is coming unless you know that. I am on the edge of my seat for the next one! I keep rewatching for more hints...
@@malloryfox3610 I’m appalled. The extent she would’ve had to go to do that? Subterfuge, imposition, preparation, all so _she_ would be the centre of the party. At Max’s expense. That’s one Grammy who has a ‘divorce’ in her future. Makes you think how strong Franks has had to be to hold it together for the kids too.
totally 100%. Because Ty didn't RSVP so Barb couldn't have known he was coming and therefore couldn't intervene. My guess is Barb got hold of Shawna's phone when she was in the shower. EDIT also the way Barb reacts when Max says "thanks Grammy" at the end is totally suss and stinks of guilt.
Shawna isnt acting weird with Ty, she literally acts the same as she does with anyone else she's friends with. The only time she acts weird is because she wants to be friends with his wife and tries "too" hard. I get it. Ty on the other hand is REALLY sus. Shawna is just oblivious to it because she loves her hubby so much Ty's moments don't register.
@@BlackFeathers39 that didn't even occur to me but it could be, if it's something he's done before she might just be suspicious of any female friends he makes.
in a previous video. Jonathan tricked his mom and lied to her and told her (about 2-4 times) that They had gotten him the hot wheels play set..to make sure his mom got the hot wheels play set and NOT a bike (like they had gotten him.) plus he had told her they wanted Sunday but she insisted on Saturday (which was the day it was set by them) AND he told her to pick the theme (after telling her about the hot wheels set) so she would pick hot wheels (the cake had already been ordered)..
The way Barb lit up in the at Max' "thanks Grandma" after her seating him "front & center" ...she's prospecting for him to be her new golden child. They'll HAVE to go no contact at some point.
@@annakat3754no she is def not. She is not a good person. If you think she’s just misunderstood after all the trouble she’s caused then you might be the problem
can i just say... the interactions with piper are so healing. she got into the cake, but shawna john and deedee all making sure not to blame her or make her feel guilty because even though it sucks, she's a little kid! and even though she's a little kid, she didn't climb or stick her own fingers into the cake, she still asked a grown up and wouldn't have gotten into the cake early without barb intervening intentionally. seeing parents anger directed properly and deedee making sure that piper wouldn't internalize it makes me feel so happy. these kids have such an amazing support system even with barb's chaos!!
My three year old got into my dad’s cake one year I never seen my dad laugh so hard. How you respond makes a difference for sure. It’s just cake in the end
Without going straight to punishment, I think the parents should have a talk with Piper. Make her understand that what she did was wrong because she knew she wasn't allowed to eat the cake after four different adults told her no. Or maybe there's something about children that I don't understand, that could be too. The fault was Barbara, obviously, but explain it to Piper (not necessarily scold her) so she doesn't do it again. And also tell her to never listen to her grandmother, but that's another story. I think Barbara is going to end up rightly no-contact.
@ From what I understand, Piper asked all the other adults looking for one who would say "yes" to her after her parents said "no". Not that she's evil like Barb is for that, she's just young, just telling her not to do that. Or did Barbara not just jump at the opportunity when the little girl asked her but give her the cake without her asking? Even in the second case, tell her that she shouldn't do that because she still tried with her uncle because mom and dad said no. But using her granddaughter for vengence is just evil.
I’ve never hated a fictional character as much as I hate barb. This is a compliment to the creator, btw, because she actually managed to get me invested in a fictional story, which is impressive.
Remember, Ty didn’t even tell his wife about meeting Shawna at the park and he was weird about the fact that Shawna had told John about him… (ps I love this comment section 😂)
The "Piper, do you not want to ask cuz you know they'll say no?" Is such a perfect auntie clocking moment I adore that and used to be that auntie when they were little 🥹
My niece and nephews always try to pull this with me 😂😂 the oldest now won't even get half way through asking before saying "you know what, nvm" (she'll be 11) 😂😂
I just did this to my niece over Christmas when she kept asking different people if she could open presents, when every adult had already told her that we would be doing it as a family when everyone finally arrived. It was hilarious.
So much better than Netflix! I am reeeeally wondering what's going on with Ty. I wasn't suspicious with Shawna's interaction until Christine started asking questions. Barb getting dissed by the 2nd gift, put in her place by John, and ignored at various times made my day 🎉 The drama, the multiple stories...I'm here for allll of it! ❤❤❤
I like Ty and Shawna's dynamic and was hoping they could just be friends, but it definitely looks like they are heading in the direction of him trying to start an affair. I'm half expecting his wife to blow up at Shawna if she tries to be friendly again and be like "It's not enough that you're screwing my husband, you have to rub it in my face by pretending to be friendly with me?!"
I remember hearing someone cheer "Max's 5th birthday!" as Ty said it, and John was the one who said it earlier in the video. Nice connection to relate ty to John even more, almost like ty wants his position. This was a true work of art!! So excited for more to come!
Isn't it just odd how the one person who didn't RSVP showed up?? It can only be a Barb Sabotage. And after the Christmas debacle of ruining the engagement and being excluded from the Nutcracker. I'm surprised Barb is even at Max's birthday! Also loved the bike vs Hot Wheels explanation!
As much as I’d love to blame it on Barb, this is a thing that happens. People RSVP and then just don’t show up. You hear about it happening at kids parties all the time. It’s incredibly rude. Both because then you end up with a disappointed kid (thankfully Max seems perfectly happy with a family party), and because the family spends money based on who RSVPs. So in this case they were lucky it was just too much pizza and cupcakes. I’ve heard of families booking party places and paying lots of money per person only to have no one show up.
Ok wait tho am i the only one who thinks Jennifer showed the ring casually when saying hi to Barb cause last we heard she hadn't seen it??! Cause if so she's good!!! Super smooth move girlie Cannot get over the character development Shawna brings every time
1000%! I'm obsessed with Shawna's videos! Mostly this series because I'm hooked but the one-off ones are great too. They've been helpful since I'm child-free.
I love the subtle-ness of mama D checking on John…. She sees he’s about to lose it, she’s open to talk but going along with his vibe of keeping focus on Max. And Barb def did something with those invites! She probably changed it to her house for the next weekend and she’s gonna “offer” to babysit the kids and have the party without Shawna and John….or maybe she does invite Shawna and John and that’s gonna be her saving grace from NC…. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds! Love these videos!!! ❤
Right?! Plus, she was in the room, more than once, overhearing Shawna say “no cake yet”. I never thought I could be so recognizably-infuriated at a fictional character. That amount of toxicity from one person is too much for anyone to deal with, and it’s exhausting to think of it being a family member. I was relieved for her sake when I learned that this isn’t a portrayal of her actual mother-in-law. Phew 😅
I got a feeling to check Shawna’s page to see if the latest short was up and saw the full birthday waiting for me like an unwrapped present!!! Can’t wait!
Barb definitely sabotaged those invitations and this is absolutely reason to go no contact and I can't wait. I also think that at some point Ty should go in for a kiss and Shawna blocks it with her realizing he had more in mind than a friendship
@terrykuhngoss5725 tbh i think that Ty uninvited them. the skits have been implying he's the tech guy. that way he made sure he was the special friend and all thankfulness would go to him.
How much you wanna bet Barb somehow called all the parents and told them it was cancelled? She seemed a little too proud of herself when no one showed up. 😒
@@relaunchinglife I don't know if directly admitting "I ruined the cake on purpose because you were ignoring me" was a slip-up, or if she's just got them conditioned to treat that as acceptable at this point.
"barb's always on her best behavior in front of strangers" Oh the FORESHADOWING barb trying to shame max to get what she wants but greg isn't having it Barb talking about something going back only after someone completely one-upping her and having a total childish meltdown ALSO BARB 100% had a snide knowing look when she asked about the guests not coming she sabotaged his party!!! only setting the gift down after piper asked her for cake and she 100% knew not to give it ABSOLUTELY LOVE jonathan finally stood up to Barb and how he didn't internalize her verbal abuse
@@cyrus_squishzy oh my gosh I just registered the “best behaviour in front of strangers” quote, that could totally be foreshadowing if Barb did mess with the invites
It certainly seemed like it, but how on earth would Barb have managed to mess with invites when Shawna sent them and received RSVPs? She would have to work awfully hard!
@@tibbythegraytI'm trying to figure how Barb did it too. Another comment pointed out that Ty and Cooper were the only ones who didn't RSVP but the only ones who came. For me that clinches it. I vaguely remember Cooper's invitation being given verbally at the park to Ty, so that would be the only invite Barb couldn't mess with. She's a piece of work. 🤬🤬🤬
@ShawnatheMom Look how much your family drama is loved. In just 3 hours you've got 90k views, 10k likes, and 1.4k comments. I truly truly hope that this is giving you a decent income. I don't understand how RUclips income works but I really want you to be being rewarded well for your art..... because that's what these videos are. Art. You are magnificent and we love ya 💜💜💜
truly masterful, the entire ending sequence with ty, shawna, and christine picking up on the weird vibes had me GASPING. i bet barb somehow messaged all of the rsvps that it was cancelled, and the fact that ty didn't rsvp is the only reason he showed up?? but why would barb do all that when the gift fall out hadn't even happened yet... im unhealthily obsessed with this series lmfao
She may have done it to make it seem like Shawna can't do anything right. But more likely, she knew once other kids and parents came, attention would be off of her, so she convinced herself she was doing everyone a favor by making it a smaller party with only family. In her mind, that's what's best for everyone.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's her way of payback for the Christmas dinner. Probably thinking that Shawna is turning both of her children against her, especially Jenn
Yall, I was SO invested that I thought she was gonna blur the other kids out of respect until I remembered that it’s JUST HER 😂 100/10 I love this series so much
I can't decide which storyline I'm more invested in, the fact that Barb has completely crossed the line to shanelessly sabotage a 5 year old's brithday party's guestlist, or whatever the heck is going on between Shawna and Ty??? Umm no, John is so perfect, and my heart cannot take that 😭
I don’t think Shawna is gonna be disloyal I think the point is that it’s one sided, Shawna sees Ty as a parent friend (note she said she hasn’t made many at karate) and Ty wants more, with Shawna being oblivious to that. More to be careful who you entrust on a day to day basis and raise awareness that affairs can be emotional too
I don't think Shawna has even clocked that Ty may have an interest beyond friendship in her. Were it to come to light that Ty does, I'd imagine Shawna would be shutting that crap down FAST. That all being said, if Ty IS potentially crossing lines, I'd say that this actually makes me have even less patience with Ty's wife. She can be a big girl and use her damn words with her husband instead of acting like some peaked in hs mean girl toward Shawna. Then again, how do we not know that she's also been unfaithful (on all those "travels for work")? Maybe there are deeper messes that no one is seeing between those two.
No, I think people are reading too much into the whole Shawna/Ty thing. Too much Hollywood, not enough real life in the 21st century where dads take on more of the caregiving role and such friendships can emerge. I thought Shawna's look at Ty was a look of gratitude and appreciation for sparing Max a friendless party by bringing Cooper. I didn't read anything more into it. And Ty is just a connecting individual, which is why Julie is more of the career jet-setter, and he is the caregiver. John and Shawna have too good of a marriage for an emotional affair to emerge because Shawna appears to get her emotional needs met by John. Although, she does seem desperate for friendships outside of the marriage (the whole karate mom friend thread), so maybe that's why she seems awkward and a little desperate with Ty. Disclaimer: yes, I realize this is fictional. Let me have fun with the analysis. It's January and I'm bored and kinda really invested in what started as a happened-upon reel while doom scrolling.
Ooof! There it is! Is it weird to say I'm looking forward to seeing the fall out from this? Shawna, you are a master and I really appreciate how much time and effort it must take to bring these characters to life. P. S. Anyone else think that Barb did something to put all the other guests off? Told them the party was cancelled or something?
I remember reading (maybe hearing?) a story from Reddit about a grandma and grandpa and son who told all the guests that the party for the grandchild was cancelled to "get back" at the parents for not coming to another grandchild's event....which no one told the parents about
@@AuntKiki81remember people- growing old and growing up are 2 different things....and an alarming number of people who are lucky enough to experience the first, never seem to get anywhere near achieving the second.
honestly when she said "the family is here!!!" it lowkey made me wonder if she did have something to do with it, but that could have been her just being upset and victimizing herself for no reason again LOL
I’m so sad that it’s becoming more and more clear that Ty has feelings for Shawna. I’m pretty certain it’s one sided, so at least there’s that! But Ty had been such a good friend to this family I’m going to be honestly heart broken when it explodes. Also I cannot applaud (actual) Shawna enough for how good this series is! I am so so invested and it’s so easy to forget that this is a one woman show! Shawna, if you happen to see this, you’re doing such amazing work here. I hope all the happiness, heath, and wealth for you.
Shawna, this has me hooked. Each episode I am WAITING and scrolling your pages to somehow see something new come up! It leaves the same feeling of anticipation that I used to have before streaming became so popularized; love love love this series.
Good for John!!!! Way to call her out. It was cathartic for him and satisfying as hell to watch. And I love Jennifer now. She’s so ridiculous but she has lost so much of her toxicity and we love Egg for supporting her in that. Happy birthday, Max!
She kept all her positive traits and really worked hard on removing most of the negative ones! Her small monologue on how she only has one life so she’s gonna be the center of hers but make sure not to make others feel like they aren’t the center of theirs really summed it up well
Me wishing my husband had done this with either his Mom or Dad’s wife when they have done this but his super power of being oblivious (including to my own flaws) means he doofus’s his way through family functions leaving me feeling INSANE for clocking things his family does?!! I love my DH and this series is so freaking cathartic!!
“Greg is very disappointed in you!” “What, no I’m not! Max, go ahead and play Hot Wheels.” Love that everyone (except Barb ofc) is doing their absolute best to make sure Max gets through Barb’s meltdown without too many bad memories. I definitely felt the desperation when Max didn’t want his gift to be returned - I’m just glad things turned out in the end!
Yep! As someone who already went NC with both emotionally immature/abusive parents in their 20s, I low-key can't wait to see how the No Contact Sit-Down with Barb all plays out. We all know that Barb is just gonna turn nasty, but its gonna be fun to watch everyone just show her how little her post-NC tantrums will get her. Also, who's betting on Barb becoming one of those "Estranged Parents" on SM as soon as John and Jennifer both go NC with her (the kind who posts about their kids and cries about how they don't know why they did this)?
@@ShawnatheMommy mom is a barb, during Chanukah she blamed me for my brother not answering her texts after she yelled at him while he was sick…I’m back to full no contact. This is absolutely healing.
My ovum supplier is also a Barb. Shawna does such a good job with that toxic mother character that I constantly have to stop myself from disliking the videos due to getting so enraged at Barbs behavior lol. Even being a child free 42 year old, I love this channel. Go Shawna!
I am BEGGING you PLEASE don’t have Shawna be unfaithful 😭 I can’t take it, John can’t take it. Seeing her say “I love you, I love our little family” is just so sweet, her and John belong together. And oh my gosh I actually got so angry when Barb started throwing her fit
Nah, I don't think there is anything in it on the Shawna end, she's too invested in her family and in love with Jon. She's just looking for a parent friend. Ty on the other hand is definitely sending out vibes though 👀 walking right up to that line, we'll see if he tries to cross it. That would be a real shame cos Shawna just wants a parent friend, she has plenty of drama in the family, she doesn't need more from anywhere else.
I have a feeling that Shawna is oblivious to Ty being "romantic" and stuff, she's just got no other parent friends to relate to so she's thinking he's just being supportive when he's definitely not!! She so badly wants another friend who is a parent that she's missing the red flags! I don't think she'd dream of cheating on John!
Your kid being stood up on their birthday hit me hard! My kids used to get one or two show up but this last year they both got ghosted, after I spent a ton on one of the popular birthday spots too!
Okay, we are all on our toes after this video, but the little convo between JJ and John was so cute! They are trying to be supportive siblings! Baby steps!
My main reactions: 1) I love Christine, I know the vibe is they don’t get to see each other very often, but I hope we see more of her! 2) I genuinely loved Jennifer in this. She was so happy that Greg got to have his uncle moment, she didn’t antagonize her mom, was very good with Piper, made a very on-brand joke to DeeDee, and then had that moment with John at the end. They’ve had their troubles between them but so much of that was instigated by Barb. They’ve two of them are the ones who’ve had to deal with her their whole lives, and even though she knew what was wrong, she checked on him and didn’t push. I hope they get closer as time goes on. 3) I can’t decide if Barb or Julie somehow sabotaged the party, but SOMEone obviously did. 24 RSVPs and no one shows??
Oh 100% it was Barb, Julie isn't a fan of Shawna but it's much more like she doesn't give a fuck. Barb goes way over the top with the fucks she selfishly gives
Watching Barb being so purposefully toxic made me feel physically sick, but I’m so glad that I kept watching to see Jonathan tell her off! This feels like therapy.
One of these days, I feel like Barb should get a redemption arc, or something. It would be really interesting if that happened! I also love your skits!❤
okay I thought I clocked Christine's reaction to him but I was checking myself like - hold up was it just for the Barb drama... or was that for Ty? What does she know?!?!?
notes as I watch (all positive): - I actually like the intro lol, I think it matches the pacing of this storyline - love the detail of the daughter saying "may you" that's the same thing my sister and i did, so real - "Greg is very disappointed in you" is horrible behavior, very good script choice very relatable - all of piper's behavior is like watching my 4 year old self, i did ALL of that lmao - okay the acting in the "disappointing" bit? I could see barb in a horror movie being a very compelling villain. so well done. - barb crying during the birthday song and nobody reacting was also perfect - and Christine confirming the ty conspiracy in the last second!! I feel so validated I'm so hooked
I loved this! Watched it twice to make sure I captured it all. So many little inside jokes and hidden gems. The characters are so familiar now that it makes us feel like we are there with you and part of the family. Good job!!👏 👏 ❤
I cant imagine how long it took to think of this idea, write it out, film it with the 1000 different wigs and clothes, then edit it all? This whole family/series is so engaging and well-written at every second! Great work!
I feel like if Barb messed with the invites, she changed the date to sunday (or another day) instead of saturday so that people could show up with them unprepared and she’d have more reasons to insult and degrade shawna’s party skills because WHY DIDN’T YOU HAVE ANYTHING READY YOU ARE SO IRRESPONSIBLE AND CAN’T DO THINGS WITHOUT ME. anyway the acting is so good I clutched my pearls the whole ten and a half minutes, thank you for this
Agreed! I'll bet she changed the date to Sunday somehow, since John's original manipulate-the-manipulator moment included him planting the idea that Sunday would be better for them. I'm totally white knuckled too!
OMG you're totally right!!! She's going to play it off like Shawna effed up the dates. Even though she checked to make sure the date was correct. Barb is SO busted.
unless she sent out saying it had been changed to sunday at her house so she has the party for him and ~saves the day~ im hoping Ty gets vindicated in just being a good guy who clicks with shawna. although with how julie was acting in the bakery its possible she had something to do with it.
Shawna mentions the karate moms and kids before her shower in front if barb, then after her shower can't find her phone.. AND barb said "no one else is coming" and KNEW the doorbell was yhe pizza guy??? how (pizza guy from the delivery app or text notification on the phone
I have NEVER been this interested in fictional characters that aren't in a tv show or a book. How you manage to make these characters come to life in these short skits and with you as the only actor is absolutely extraordinary. I have been checking every day for new skits and this was so exciting to see! Keep it up, girl! I am SOOOOOO looking forward to what happens next!
The overlapping Happy Birthday was truly amazing, it felt like I was there and hearing everyone sing around Max. Idk how you made it seem so ‘real’ but you did. Also LOVE how Christine immediately picked up on the Ty thing. Also I cheered when John let his mother have it, been a long time coming imo. Truly a phenomenal job.
This is 10x better than anything Ive watched on Netflix!! The way I screamed and grabbed my face when Shana and Ty gave each other the look! Thank God Aunt Teeny called it out!!
I liked how Jennifer showed John compassion and was willing to talk. The 2 couples will have to have a discussion about the pros and cons of no contact or low contact. Jennifer and John are both lucky to have supportive partners.
Poor Shawna is so oblivious to Ty being a creeper. I 100% feel like Barb is to blame for the bad turn out of party, though like kids do Max doesn't notice or care lol. Hopefully Christine will be able to open Shawna's eyes to Ty so disater can be averted and boy do I feel bad for Jen and John. As someone who has had to cut out a parent from their life I fully get how they are feeling. Also you are honestly one of the creators that is keeping me sane right now lol thank you so much for all the hard work you do. It can't be easy finding the time to do all this while raising a family as well. It is so so appreciated!
I think thats why Ty’s wife doesn’t like Shawna. For all we know this is the 5th neighborhood they’ve moved to because he can’t keep it in his khaki shorts.
@@Momjeansandshame granted, that in no way justifies her behavior. She's actively blaming the other women rather than actually putting the blame on her husband for HIS behavior. Worse, she's acting like she peaked in hs with that mean girl behavior (ma'am, you're a parent to young children, act your age and use your words 🙄🙄).
The thing that makes me so angry about Barb is the way she is so willing to hurt her grandchildren (Max with the present and giving Piper cake to try and make Shawna or John go mad at her….) this is a new level of diabolical and she needs to be put in her place.
Oh my god, I was thinking that same thing! Like honestly, what kind of person intentionally uses their grandchild to hurt her family and said child in the process. It's diabolical, it's evil, it's over the top! It's absolutely barb! I am so infected in this and i'm loving this content
Narcissists don’t care who they hurt, psychologically or even physically. It’s hard to get your head around just how awful they are unless you have dealt with one.
@@lisanygaard2720 this! Its all a zero sum game to them and if they actually DO get called out on their behavior, they just turn it around and make it about how bad THEY feel about being called out. Its exhausting (both of my parents, but especially my father, had those tendencies. My favorite example is the time he gaslit me about being gaslit by him... gaslight-ception! Lol).
After watching 5 times: 1) “Egg and JJ” is just too cute, and that whole thing is the best part of this 2) the fact that you have to record all of each character’s parts at once and yet it still flows so DAMN WELL is stunning. Plus in this one you had Shawna pre-shower, and Shawna post-shower, which meant all dudes and Barb were recorded pre-shower and everyone else post. Plus pre-cake and post-cake Piper. The amount of planning! 3) Julie sabotaged the party. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Julie..? How could she manage to keep over 20 people from showing up and they only know each other from the park and ty? Especially since Ty didn't RSVP, I'd bet Julie doesn't even know he went. If you're right you're a genius lol I just cant see it. Barb is always my guess.
@@Riddlebox13Ty got the évite but didn’t RSVP. Is that because Julie deleted it? Did she delete it after she sent a message to the guest list (that didn’t include Shawna) that said “Hey guys, Shawna is so stressed bc Max and Piper both have the flu! She’s asked me to let you know they’re going to have to cancel the party for now!” If it was JUST paper invites I’d totally pin it on Barb, but since it was an évite, EVERYONE who rsvpd no showed, Th didn’t rsvpd and showed up, AND Julie ran when she saw Shawna picking up the cupcakes, I’m calling it.
Barb would want the most people available there to shower her with praise for getting such an excellent gift. Also, if you’ll recall, they invited Barb late. They waited until the invites were printed and ready for pick up, and there was no foreshadowing about the invites being misplaced or anything like that. She put out that Julie running off at the bakery video for a reason…
At least Max still seemed that he was happy! I think this would have stung a lot more if he was older, but he was just too distracted to care no one showed up.
i feel like barb needs a FULL family intervention, like everyone writes her a dramatic letter discussing explicitly how her actions have affected them and why she needs to change. greg with the proposal, jen with the baby shower, john with max’s party, shawna with mother’s day and just in general, and even greg’s mom katie with the nutcracker surprise!!! barb needs the full blown and uninterrupted truth about what she is doing to her family 😭😭😭
She knows, she just doesn't care like most narcissists. Everything she does is calculated to make her the center of attention. No amount of telling her what she already knows will get her to change. She purposely tried to one up her son so her gift would be all Max was occupied with and talk about. Greg never said the proposal would be on Xmas at her house, yet she dropped the bomb when she felt upstaged then got mad her daughter wasn't visibly upset like she hoped. She made her daughters baby shower all about her because she just knew she'd have the strings on her daughter and her new grand baby, then got upset that those strings were cut. All intentions are malicious with her. Intervention should've been long before her even being married with kids for it to have been effective.
she'd probably enjoy an intervention because then everyone would be paying attention to her. She was pathetically grateful for Max's polite but casually tossed off "Thanks Grammy" when she sat him front and center. She's just an energy hole that can't be filled right now, and maybe forever.
my thought is that Shawna gave him a look of adoration because she was grateful that someone outside of the family showed up for her son. But of course this is a developing story so who knows. Hopefully nothing nefarious😬
Is it just that I’m aromantic or did that just feel like a friend comforting their friend because things aren’t going as planned? I did not feel like there was any romance but that might just be because I don’t feel any romance
The way I just hollered at that ending!!!!!!!!! Omg!!!!!! And best friend clocked that so quick!!!!! I am fully invested and so glad I finally realized you're ok RUclips!!
It’s so telling that the worst insult Barb can sling is that you’re “*disappointing*” but she’s done nothing but disappoint everyone around her. Honestly I’m a 30 year old man with no kids why am I so obsessed with this content
AHH IVE BEEN SO READY FOR THIS!! Yall.. Christine is right, Shawna and Ty are acting a little weird. Second tho, I love how close DeeDee and Christine are!! It’s adorable. Barb literally INFURIATES me though!! Good job dad for sticking up for his family and himself.
there are so many things to react to. I hope Teeny shows Shawna that she's inadvertently (hopefully) flirting with Ty and sets her straight. I hope it's revealed that Barb sabotaged the RSVPs for her own grandson's party and THATS what causes no contact. I hope Max and Greg build a lego set together. I hope Piper eats all the cake she wants and more.
The level of investment I have in these fictitious people played by the same actress is kind of off the charts. I freaking love these characters and this story and the lessons we're all learning about boundaries and personal growth and surviving toxic family members are all fantastic. It's entertaining AND therapeutic! Absolutely brilliant Shawna **chef's kiss**
I️ gotta say, right off the bat, DeeDee just makes me feel so calm and loved, I️ know it’s just a sketch character, and I️ don’t ever plan on having kids but I️ hope I️ can be just like DeeDee for at least one person ❤ thank you for bringing her to life for us
I LIVE for these long form videos! You bring each individual character to life to the point that in my head this family truly exists, we just haven’t met yet!! Fantastic!!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! My fiance and i watch these together everytime they come out. We loved the thanksgiving and christmas one. Both of our moms remind us of Barb in different ways.....sadly.....thanks for the full upload!
Love these! All of the videos are so captivating! Better than any tv out there and addressing real issues that occur in families! Always looking forward to the next episodes!!
My little theories rn: -Barb had something to do with the invitations/lack of people coming to the party. Shawna/John find out eventually, and its the final straw for them to move forward with a no contact boundary. -Julie had something to do with the invitations because shes jealous of the possible infatuation that Ty has with Shawna, and is doing everything to separate them. Obviously theories are just for fun! Take it with a grain of salt! Amazing job as always Shawna ❤
thus is actually the last time for barb. she is being cut out..they just haven't told her yet. Jonathan was amazed she lasted as long as she did, he's been waiting for the word to tell barb bye bye bye
If it were Julie Ty wouldn't be there either I don't like Julie but I think she's innocent here. 90% sure it was Barb 10% I think it was Ty wanting to spend alone time with Shawna
I want to believe the Barb theory but I also have a hard time believing she would be tech-savvy enough to be able to figure out how to message all of the people who RSVP'd yes to an evite
I'm wondering how many pizzas hubby actually got... I wonder if he changed the party time with everyone else, and that he'll have the big confrontation with his mum at the end of THIS party, and brush it off nicely with Max's real party. 😊
I've typed and retyped this comment now so many times because it never seems to make much sense than trauma dump rambling, but I'm going to try my damndest. My heart goes nuts and my fight or flight is initiated listening to these videos with Barb and every bit of her toxic nastiness as my mother was this very person while I was growing up. And this video in particular, oh my god, as a mother of five and dealing with the birthday madness, toxic family, the social expectations of mom and dad friends when having kiddo friends - everything squeezing in tight and you just want to scream but can't. Watching John finally tell Barb off without raising his voice - just blunt rebuttal so she didn't have anything to feed off of - was absolute chef's kiss and is the level of done I wish I had been able to do. Thank you so much for making these skits. Thank you so much for giving an authentic window into the lives of parenthood, juggling family dynamics, and just everything in between. You have been a source of catharsis for me and other parents I send your videos to.
I purposely don't share these with my husband because I know they will be triggering for him. Like Barb, his mother was a narcissist. He disconnected from her 2 years ago. Took him 63 years of life with her to do it, although he had gone low contact for several years before that. She passed away 12/14/24. He says he feels no grief, only relief, and that he grieved not having a real mother "a long time ago."
Genuinely it’s so rare I find myself to be this level of aggrieved at a character to the point I hope Shawna swings for her. We never quite see the aftermath/full fallout of barbs actions too, if I’m being super critical. I want an episode where EVERYONE goes in on her, telling her the effect her actions have on them
Shawna, this is Ida from Sweden. I've been following this saga for so long without subscribing (sorry), I really didn't want to admit to myself that I've become really invested. Lol. I caved tonight. I'm a subscriber now and I even admitted to my husband about my secret indulgence. Thank you for keeping this story arch going!
Ok the fact that Ty is the only one who showed up and he hadn’t RSVPed plus Barb’s comments about how the family is there and the rest don’t matter tells me she did something with the other attendees. Sent them the wrong time or address or something, but it’s Barb’s fault I’m certain.
Yes!!!
Omg you're right! Nice catch
Agreeeed
That was my thoughts as well. Especially when she told Shawna "You know you're not good with these things." Or something like that. It's her fault and I can't wait until they tell her they're going "No contact."
Yeah...I was wondering what's up with that.
I love the juxtaposition of the little girl childishly asking for cake from different people hoping for a different result and Barb doing the exact same thing asking where to put the playset up.
😅
I would say they are developmentally equal but that would be unfair to Piper.
@@OU1846😂
I didn't notice that but that's a really good point!
Barb is sooo unwilling to examine her own behavior. It's amazing her family members have not ghosted her in self-defense.
The way Christine clocked Ty IMMEDIATELY is so cathartic
Honestly I got SO SCARED for a second because I thought that she might tell off Shawna because she JUST saw them together for the first time
Christine and Jen are gonna be so vindicated
Is that what her last comment to Shawna is about??
I hope she doesn’t immediately accuse Shawna!
Exactly! Reminds me of my BFF! She passed away 7 years ago and I miss her so much! She was exactly like this!
"Your mom's always on her best behavior around strangers." That's why she made sure there wouldn't be any strangers present
On the edge of my seat to see what happened there!
I'm waiting to see what she did!
Yes! I want to know what the heck she did. You know she did something by the way she talked about how no one was coming.
Oooh interesting thought! But, how in world would she even know how to reach every parent that rsvp’d? That would take some doing. I guess we’ll find out 😂
tbh i think that Ty did. the skits have been implying he's the tech guy. that way he made sure he was the special friend and all thankfulness would go to him.
this woman doing skits in her house in different fits has managed to entertain me better than any movie platform has in a while …that’s some talent ma’am
I was thinking just this thought. I have refreshed my feed for the last few days hoping for more of the party story!
So stinking true!!!
Oh yes, we salute her 🫡
Right?!? The only drama I care about
100% I've been so bored with movies and TV but Im living for the shorts them the comps are like binging an entire series...Im rapt!
Ok such a small detail but the “Dada is mad” and “Not at you, my girl” 😭 got me. Such great writing, Shawna!!
I know! I loved that bit too 😭 good job Mama D looking after Piper
She called it Shawna’s party and not max’s birthday. She sabotaged Shawna
Yes it’s so good, because Piper knows he’s mad and knowing kids they internalize a lot of things
I loved that moment!
That moved me to tears. Such gentleness and care! 💜🥹💜
I am absolutely convinced Barb got ahold of the RSVP list and sent out something saying it was canceled. As soon as its brought up that guests aren't there yet, she shouts "the family is here", in hindsight very defensively. Then after she fed the cake she said, "why it's not like anyone else is coming" she knows at this point no one has shown up yet, but it feels way to soon to say for sure no one else is coming unless you know that. I am on the edge of my seat for the next one! I keep rewatching for more hints...
100%‼‼‼
@@malloryfox3610 I’m appalled. The extent she would’ve had to go to do that? Subterfuge, imposition, preparation, all so _she_ would be the centre of the party. At Max’s expense. That’s one Grammy who has a ‘divorce’ in her future. Makes you think how strong Franks has had to be to hold it together for the kids too.
😮 I agree with you 💯! I feel so disgusted by Barb's behavior. That is so toxic. Why would anybody do that to a little kid?
totally 100%. Because Ty didn't RSVP so Barb couldn't have known he was coming and therefore couldn't intervene. My guess is Barb got hold of Shawna's phone when she was in the shower. EDIT also the way Barb reacts when Max says "thanks Grammy" at the end is totally suss and stinks of guilt.
Ooooh! And Ty showed up bc he wasn't on the RSVP list! So he didn't receive Barb's sabotage message!
There has gotttt to be a part 2 to this party. Barb sabotage? Greg bonding with Max? New character Christine? Ty flirting? Girllll you're too good
christine isn’t new, go watch her christmas with christine video to see what she’s all about
Shawna isnt acting weird with Ty, she literally acts the same as she does with anyone else she's friends with. The only time she acts weird is because she wants to be friends with his wife and tries "too" hard. I get it. Ty on the other hand is REALLY sus. Shawna is just oblivious to it because she loves her hubby so much Ty's moments don't register.
I agree with this! I think shes a connective, authentic person and makes deep friendships but ty is potentially taking things in a different way
Agreed, I think he's off, but I honestly don't know how exactly. Shawna's just happy to have a friend I'm sure.
@@citroenboterI get the feeling Julie doesn’t like Shawna because Ty’s cheated before
Exactly!!!
@@BlackFeathers39 that didn't even occur to me but it could be, if it's something he's done before she might just be suspicious of any female friends he makes.
with how many times barb said "hot wheels ultimate 3 foot play set" i would've guessed this skit was sponsored 😭😭😭
😂😂😂
looool 😂😂
She thinks that shawna got the same gift and she wants to remind them that she got it first
in a previous video. Jonathan tricked his mom and lied to her and told her (about 2-4 times) that They had gotten him the hot wheels play set..to make sure his mom got the hot wheels play set and NOT a bike (like they had gotten him.)
plus he had told her they wanted Sunday but she insisted on Saturday (which was the day it was set by them)
AND he told her to pick the theme (after telling her about the hot wheels set) so she would pick hot wheels (the cake had already been ordered)..
@@TheMoonfeather gonna go look for that video now
Are we SURE Barb didn’t somehow sabotage the attendance???? I’m not!
BFF getting ready to step between Shawna and playground dad😂
I'm not convinced that barb didn't have something to do with it. She was way too casual with her questions😅
I’ve been dying for this episode and now I want more, can’t wait to see what Christine says to Shawna and what Barb did
I was thinking the same thing.
Maybe, or perhaps a new charactor karate Mom going to show up soon who is sabotaging things, idk.
Oh totally. The way the one guest who showed up *didn't* RSVP... She totally got the RSVP list and told everyone it was cancelled somehow
The way Barb lit up in the at Max' "thanks Grandma" after her seating him "front & center" ...she's prospecting for him to be her new golden child. They'll HAVE to go no contact at some point.
or.....maybe she's just a proud grandma seeing her baby grandson grow up and being emotional about it. Barb is seriously misunderstood.
@@annakat3754 no, no she isn't. She's an overbearing narcissist...
@@annakat3754no she is def not. She is not a good person. If you think she’s just misunderstood after all the trouble she’s caused then you might be the problem
Nope lmao @@annakat3754
@annakat3754 no she's not lmao, did it hit too close to home?
When I realized Barb gave Piper the cake I audibly gasped and yelled no! 🤣
SUCH a violation
For reals.. and it was in retaliation to the argument w John..
Then acts like she has no idea you aren’t supposed to just help yourself to birthday cake. They need to call her out hard on that.
@@nicolesalsgiver9970 I gasped too! 😱 not the special hot wheels cake!
Hard same i could not find my breath for minutes i had to pause
can i just say... the interactions with piper are so healing. she got into the cake, but shawna john and deedee all making sure not to blame her or make her feel guilty because even though it sucks, she's a little kid! and even though she's a little kid, she didn't climb or stick her own fingers into the cake, she still asked a grown up and wouldn't have gotten into the cake early without barb intervening intentionally. seeing parents anger directed properly and deedee making sure that piper wouldn't internalize it makes me feel so happy. these kids have such an amazing support system even with barb's chaos!!
She didn’t get into the cake; Barb gave her some 😡…knowing full well that they hadn’t presented it to the birthday boy yet
My three year old got into my dad’s cake one year I never seen my dad laugh so hard. How you respond makes a difference for sure. It’s just cake in the end
Without going straight to punishment, I think the parents should have a talk with Piper. Make her understand that what she did was wrong because she knew she wasn't allowed to eat the cake after four different adults told her no. Or maybe there's something about children that I don't understand, that could be too. The fault was Barbara, obviously, but explain it to Piper (not necessarily scold her) so she doesn't do it again. And also tell her to never listen to her grandmother, but that's another story. I think Barbara is going to end up rightly no-contact.
Barb gave her cake, not Piper's fault.
@ From what I understand, Piper asked all the other adults looking for one who would say "yes" to her after her parents said "no". Not that she's evil like Barb is for that, she's just young, just telling her not to do that. Or did Barbara not just jump at the opportunity when the little girl asked her but give her the cake without her asking? Even in the second case, tell her that she shouldn't do that because she still tried with her uncle because mom and dad said no. But using her granddaughter for vengence is just evil.
Barb WHIMPERING while singing happy birthday with the rest SENT ME INTO ORBIT LMAOOOO
Combined with Frank's grunt singing lmao
@@aje-olokunsChile hahaha yeesss
Lmao it was Franks gutteral sounds that startled me 😂
@@jaywatts86 lol same!
This felt good.
I’ve never hated a fictional character as much as I hate barb.
This is a compliment to the creator, btw, because she actually managed to get me invested in a fictional story, which is impressive.
Oooo Christine is picking up on Ty for sure and she is NOT having it lmao
Personal, unlikely but possible head cannon....Tys wife has been so cold to Shawna because Ty has been caught having an affair in the past.
@@kellis6645 I think thats actually a pretty likely story for this. It explains why she was normal to John and suspicious of Shawna
I feel like Shawna is just friendly because she genuinely wants to be friends with other parents while Ty is making up something else
Remember, Ty didn’t even tell his wife about meeting Shawna at the park and he was weird about the fact that Shawna had told John about him… (ps I love this comment section 😂)
@@notalltheoriesyes, and me too 😅
The "Piper, do you not want to ask cuz you know they'll say no?" Is such a perfect auntie clocking moment I adore that and used to be that auntie when they were little 🥹
My niece and nephews always try to pull this with me 😂😂 the oldest now won't even get half way through asking before saying "you know what, nvm" (she'll be 11) 😂😂
I just did this to my niece over Christmas when she kept asking different people if she could open presents, when every adult had already told her that we would be doing it as a family when everyone finally arrived. It was hilarious.
I definitely tried to stay away from my aunt who would do that. Feels bad to be called out
The fact that Christine seems to know something is fishy about Ty... 👀 I LOVE this series so much, it's my Netflix lol
It’s better than Netflix lol
In as much as I really enjoyed the full skit, I have to admit the bite sized skits work well for my adhd brain.
So much better than Netflix! I am reeeeally wondering what's going on with Ty. I wasn't suspicious with Shawna's interaction until Christine started asking questions. Barb getting dissed by the 2nd gift, put in her place by John, and ignored at various times made my day 🎉
The drama, the multiple stories...I'm here for allll of it! ❤❤❤
200% I’m sure Barb sabotaged the invites
I like Ty and Shawna's dynamic and was hoping they could just be friends, but it definitely looks like they are heading in the direction of him trying to start an affair. I'm half expecting his wife to blow up at Shawna if she tries to be friendly again and be like "It's not enough that you're screwing my husband, you have to rub it in my face by pretending to be friendly with me?!"
I remember hearing someone cheer "Max's 5th birthday!" as Ty said it, and John was the one who said it earlier in the video. Nice connection to relate ty to John even more, almost like ty wants his position.
This was a true work of art!! So excited for more to come!
FINANLLY
i saw that and i almost flipped my table
If Barb did something to the invitations I will riot!
That’s what I was afraid of!
I wanted to see if anyone else was thinking this before I commented!!!!
Isn't it just odd how the one person who didn't RSVP showed up?? It can only be a Barb Sabotage. And after the Christmas debacle of ruining the engagement and being excluded from the Nutcracker. I'm surprised Barb is even at Max's birthday! Also loved the bike vs Hot Wheels explanation!
As much as I’d love to blame it on Barb, this is a thing that happens. People RSVP and then just don’t show up. You hear about it happening at kids parties all the time. It’s incredibly rude. Both because then you end up with a disappointed kid (thankfully Max seems perfectly happy with a family party), and because the family spends money based on who RSVPs. So in this case they were lucky it was just too much pizza and cupcakes. I’ve heard of families booking party places and paying lots of money per person only to have no one show up.
Same! We will all fight Barb for Shawna😂
Ok wait tho am i the only one who thinks Jennifer showed the ring casually when saying hi to Barb cause last we heard she hadn't seen it??! Cause if so she's good!!! Super smooth move girlie
Cannot get over the character development Shawna brings every time
She definitely did it with full intention 😂
Oh 100% she was FLAUNTING that thing and I love her
I clocked that too! I am living the redemption arc for Jennifer.
I wonder if she saw Barb getting upset and was trying to distract her.
I caught that! I'm really falling in love with Jennifer!
Everyone say it together now....
Thank you Shawna for this wonderful gift!!
We cannot thank you enough!! ❤❤❤❤
@@thathollyjorge hahaha YOU’RE WELCOME 💗🤗
@@ShawnatheMomopened RUclips and said “oh sh*t!” and immediately watched. You rock!
Seriously!
1000%! I'm obsessed with Shawna's videos! Mostly this series because I'm hooked but the one-off ones are great too. They've been helpful since I'm child-free.
❤❤❤ Thank you for this Sunday gift to end our weekend on a fun note so that we can all go adult tomorrow!! ❤❤❤
I love the subtle-ness of mama D checking on John…. She sees he’s about to lose it, she’s open to talk but going along with his vibe of keeping focus on Max.
And Barb def did something with those invites! She probably changed it to her house for the next weekend and she’s gonna “offer” to babysit the kids and have the party without Shawna and John….or maybe she does invite Shawna and John and that’s gonna be her saving grace from NC…. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds!
Love these videos!!! ❤
If we had to play a drinking game every time Barb says “Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage 3ft play set” we would all be dead! Lol
😂😂😂 Right?!
Nah just british night out lmao
7:43 Anyone in their right mind would know not to cut into a birthday cake before the birthday child got to be sang to and blow out his candles!!
Right?! Like Barb we know you’re not THAT dumb🙄
Have you MET Barb?
Oh, she knows.
Narcissistic don’t think about others or their feelings! They live in their own little, desperate, attention seeking, delusional world.
Right?! Plus, she was in the room, more than once, overhearing Shawna say “no cake yet”.
I never thought I could be so recognizably-infuriated at a fictional character. That amount of toxicity from one person is too much for anyone to deal with, and it’s exhausting to think of it being a family member. I was relieved for her sake when I learned that this isn’t a portrayal of her actual mother-in-law. Phew 😅
I got a feeling to check Shawna’s page to see if the latest short was up and saw the full birthday waiting for me like an unwrapped present!!! Can’t wait!
ME TOO HAHAH YAYY
I CHECKED YESTERDAY AND I WAS DISAPPOINTED BUT TODAY I GOT THE NOTIFICATION AND CAME RUNNING HERE😂
The way I have been checking since the first part of this came out 🤣
Same 😂
Absolute same!
Barb definitely sabotaged those invitations and this is absolutely reason to go no contact and I can't wait. I also think that at some point Ty should go in for a kiss and Shawna blocks it with her realizing he had more in mind than a friendship
Ty is the park dad right? Ugh, I don't want that.
@terrykuhngoss5725 tbh i think that Ty uninvited them. the skits have been implying he's the tech guy. that way he made sure he was the special friend and all thankfulness would go to him.
@@anasubic3090 ooh. That's a good twist!
The long term payoff of John finally snapping at barb was genuinely phenomenal I love this show
How much you wanna bet Barb somehow called all the parents and told them it was cancelled? She seemed a little too proud of herself when no one showed up. 😒
it's bad enough she ruined the cake on purpose!
I’m willing to bet you are right. I noticed the comment she made about “the family is here” like she doesn’t think anyone else should be there.
@@mountainsandmayhem739 And "Excuse me, who are you and what is that?"
I'm sure of it!
@@relaunchinglife I don't know if directly admitting "I ruined the cake on purpose because you were ignoring me" was a slip-up, or if she's just got them conditioned to treat that as acceptable at this point.
"barb's always on her best behavior in front of strangers" Oh the FORESHADOWING
barb trying to shame max to get what she wants but greg isn't having it
Barb talking about something going back only after someone completely one-upping her and having a total childish meltdown
ALSO BARB 100% had a snide knowing look when she asked about the guests not coming
she sabotaged his party!!!
only setting the gift down after piper asked her for cake and she 100% knew not to give it
ABSOLUTELY LOVE jonathan finally stood up to Barb and how he didn't internalize her verbal abuse
I also felt like Greg’s face was registering how she was acting with one of her grandchildren
@@cyrus_squishzy oh my gosh I just registered the “best behaviour in front of strangers” quote, that could totally be foreshadowing if Barb did mess with the invites
It certainly seemed like it, but how on earth would Barb have managed to mess with invites when Shawna sent them and received RSVPs? She would have to work awfully hard!
@@tibbythegraytI'm trying to figure how Barb did it too. Another comment pointed out that Ty and Cooper were the only ones who didn't RSVP but the only ones who came. For me that clinches it. I vaguely remember Cooper's invitation being given verbally at the park to Ty, so that would be the only invite Barb couldn't mess with. She's a piece of work. 🤬🤬🤬
@tibbythegrayt i believe Barb would do anything to get her own way.....
having to repeatedly remind myself that barb is pantsless so i don't have a breakdown at her nonsense xD
The way I watched this 4 times today because John telling Barb “back at ya” is the most cathartic thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
SHAWNA YOU SURVIVED! Also, may or may not have cackled at Jennifer showing off that engagement ring. You deserve it Barb!
@@Amanda-sj5sb I did it! Haha thanks babe🤗
@ShawnatheMom Look how much your family drama is loved. In just 3 hours you've got 90k views, 10k likes, and 1.4k comments. I truly truly hope that this is giving you a decent income. I don't understand how RUclips income works but I really want you to be being rewarded well for your art..... because that's what these videos are. Art. You are magnificent and we love ya 💜💜💜
Ok so someone else saw that too!!! So badass
truly masterful, the entire ending sequence with ty, shawna, and christine picking up on the weird vibes had me GASPING. i bet barb somehow messaged all of the rsvps that it was cancelled, and the fact that ty didn't rsvp is the only reason he showed up?? but why would barb do all that when the gift fall out hadn't even happened yet... im unhealthily obsessed with this series lmfao
She may have done it to make it seem like Shawna can't do anything right. But more likely, she knew once other kids and parents came, attention would be off of her, so she convinced herself she was doing everyone a favor by making it a smaller party with only family. In her mind, that's what's best for everyone.
Everyone left her chrismas dinner
@@tsirakura1684true😢😮😮 that woman has serious issues
or maybe she knew all of max’s friends and used their names to RSVP?
I wouldn't be surprised if it's her way of payback for the Christmas dinner. Probably thinking that Shawna is turning both of her children against her, especially Jenn
Yall, I was SO invested that I thought she was gonna blur the other kids out of respect until I remembered that it’s JUST HER 😂
100/10 I love this series so much
I can't decide which storyline I'm more invested in, the fact that Barb has completely crossed the line to shanelessly sabotage a 5 year old's brithday party's guestlist, or whatever the heck is going on between Shawna and Ty??? Umm no, John is so perfect, and my heart cannot take that 😭
I don’t think Shawna is gonna be disloyal
I think the point is that it’s one sided, Shawna sees Ty as a parent friend (note she said she hasn’t made many at karate) and Ty wants more, with Shawna being oblivious to that. More to be careful who you entrust on a day to day basis and raise awareness that affairs can be emotional too
I don't think Shawna has even clocked that Ty may have an interest beyond friendship in her. Were it to come to light that Ty does, I'd imagine Shawna would be shutting that crap down FAST.
That all being said, if Ty IS potentially crossing lines, I'd say that this actually makes me have even less patience with Ty's wife. She can be a big girl and use her damn words with her husband instead of acting like some peaked in hs mean girl toward Shawna.
Then again, how do we not know that she's also been unfaithful (on all those "travels for work")? Maybe there are deeper messes that no one is seeing between those two.
No, I think people are reading too much into the whole Shawna/Ty thing. Too much Hollywood, not enough real life in the 21st century where dads take on more of the caregiving role and such friendships can emerge.
I thought Shawna's look at Ty was a look of gratitude and appreciation for sparing Max a friendless party by bringing Cooper. I didn't read anything more into it. And Ty is just a connecting individual, which is why Julie is more of the career jet-setter, and he is the caregiver. John and Shawna have too good of a marriage for an emotional affair to emerge because Shawna appears to get her emotional needs met by John. Although, she does seem desperate for friendships outside of the marriage (the whole karate mom friend thread), so maybe that's why she seems awkward and a little desperate with Ty.
Disclaimer: yes, I realize this is fictional. Let me have fun with the analysis. It's January and I'm bored and kinda really invested in what started as a happened-upon reel while doom scrolling.
Ooof! There it is!
Is it weird to say I'm looking forward to seeing the fall out from this?
Shawna, you are a master and I really appreciate how much time and effort it must take to bring these characters to life.
P. S. Anyone else think that Barb did something to put all the other guests off? Told them the party was cancelled or something?
YES! to your P.S.
I remember reading (maybe hearing?) a story from Reddit about a grandma and grandpa and son who told all the guests that the party for the grandchild was cancelled to "get back" at the parents for not coming to another grandchild's event....which no one told the parents about
@@AuntKiki81 that is just so sad and petty, the poor kid caught in the cross fire of all the drama.
@@AuntKiki81remember people- growing old and growing up are 2 different things....and an alarming number of people who are lucky enough to experience the first, never seem to get anywhere near achieving the second.
honestly when she said "the family is here!!!" it lowkey made me wonder if she did have something to do with it, but that could have been her just being upset and victimizing herself for no reason again LOL
I’m so sad that it’s becoming more and more clear that Ty has feelings for Shawna. I’m pretty certain it’s one sided, so at least there’s that! But Ty had been such a good friend to this family I’m going to be honestly heart broken when it explodes.
Also I cannot applaud (actual) Shawna enough for how good this series is! I am so so invested and it’s so easy to forget that this is a one woman show!
Shawna, if you happen to see this, you’re doing such amazing work here. I hope all the happiness, heath, and wealth for you.
Shawna, this has me hooked. Each episode I am WAITING and scrolling your pages to somehow see something new come up! It leaves the same feeling of anticipation that I used to have before streaming became so popularized; love love love this series.
Good for John!!!! Way to call her out. It was cathartic for him and satisfying as hell to watch. And I love Jennifer now. She’s so ridiculous but she has lost so much of her toxicity and we love Egg for supporting her in that.
Happy birthday, Max!
She kept all her positive traits and really worked hard on removing most of the negative ones! Her small monologue on how she only has one life so she’s gonna be the center of hers but make sure not to make others feel like they aren’t the center of theirs really summed it up well
Me wishing my husband had done this with either his Mom or Dad’s wife when they have done this but his super power of being oblivious (including to my own flaws) means he doofus’s his way through family functions leaving me feeling INSANE for clocking things his family does?!! I love my DH and this series is so freaking cathartic!!
I love that you're wishing a fictional boy, played by a woman, a happy birthday! 😂
“Greg is very disappointed in you!”
“What, no I’m not! Max, go ahead and play Hot Wheels.”
Love that everyone (except Barb ofc) is doing their absolute best to make sure Max gets through Barb’s meltdown without too many bad memories. I definitely felt the desperation when Max didn’t want his gift to be returned - I’m just glad things turned out in the end!
Yep! As someone who already went NC with both emotionally immature/abusive parents in their 20s, I low-key can't wait to see how the No Contact Sit-Down with Barb all plays out. We all know that Barb is just gonna turn nasty, but its gonna be fun to watch everyone just show her how little her post-NC tantrums will get her.
Also, who's betting on Barb becoming one of those "Estranged Parents" on SM as soon as John and Jennifer both go NC with her (the kind who posts about their kids and cries about how they don't know why they did this)?
Gurl.....what you have created is so amazing! I think people are getting some true healing from their toxic family dynamics here. Bravo!!
@@relaunchinglife 🥹 thank you. I hope so!
@@ShawnatheMommy mom is a barb, during Chanukah she blamed me for my brother not answering her texts after she yelled at him while he was sick…I’m back to full no contact. This is absolutely healing.
My ovum supplier is also a Barb. Shawna does such a good job with that toxic mother character that I constantly have to stop myself from disliking the videos due to getting so enraged at Barbs behavior lol. Even being a child free 42 year old, I love this channel. Go Shawna!
Thank u so much for uploading all of it on RUclips! I was so into the story on tiktok and am so happy i get to find out now muaahh ❤
Ok the fact that Christine is noticing something off between Shawna and Ty gives me relief. She's not going to let anything rest.
I am BEGGING you PLEASE don’t have Shawna be unfaithful 😭 I can’t take it, John can’t take it. Seeing her say “I love you, I love our little family” is just so sweet, her and John belong together. And oh my gosh I actually got so angry when Barb started throwing her fit
Nah, I don't think there is anything in it on the Shawna end, she's too invested in her family and in love with Jon. She's just looking for a parent friend.
Ty on the other hand is definitely sending out vibes though 👀 walking right up to that line, we'll see if he tries to cross it. That would be a real shame cos Shawna just wants a parent friend, she has plenty of drama in the family, she doesn't need more from anywhere else.
I have a feeling that Shawna is oblivious to Ty being "romantic" and stuff, she's just got no other parent friends to relate to so she's thinking he's just being supportive when he's definitely not!! She so badly wants another friend who is a parent that she's missing the red flags!
I don't think she'd dream of cheating on John!
@@loudemopsychic I’ve been that person that’s oblivious and impervious to that sort of vibe bc I was content and committed to my family.
Barb is next level
It would be really lovely if this turned into a example of how a healthy platonic friendship
Your kid being stood up on their birthday hit me hard! My kids used to get one or two show up but this last year they both got ghosted, after I spent a ton on one of the popular birthday spots too!
😢
@@aprildawnsunshine4326 heartbreaking! So sorry babe 😭🫂
😢
💔😢 awwww, I’m so sorry !
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. It's heartbreaking and something I continually worry about since my youngest is special needs. Hugs, seriously!
I am SO invested in this family!! I can't wait to see what happens next!
Okay, we are all on our toes after this video, but the little convo between JJ and John was so cute! They are trying to be supportive siblings! Baby steps!
My main reactions: 1) I love Christine, I know the vibe is they don’t get to see each other very often, but I hope we see more of her! 2) I genuinely loved Jennifer in this. She was so happy that Greg got to have his uncle moment, she didn’t antagonize her mom, was very good with Piper, made a very on-brand joke to DeeDee, and then had that moment with John at the end. They’ve had their troubles between them but so much of that was instigated by Barb. They’ve two of them are the ones who’ve had to deal with her their whole lives, and even though she knew what was wrong, she checked on him and didn’t push. I hope they get closer as time goes on. 3) I can’t decide if Barb or Julie somehow sabotaged the party, but SOMEone obviously did. 24 RSVPs and no one shows??
Barb. No one else has any reason to sabotage the bday of a 5yo. Julie would just not let their family go, not ruin it.
@ I agree, but I saw a lot of people speculating that it might be Julie, so I was hedging my bets!
Oh 100% it was Barb, Julie isn't a fan of Shawna but it's much more like she doesn't give a fuck. Barb goes way over the top with the fucks she selfishly gives
@@shayeleaNever even occurred to me about Julie.... You might be on to something. But Shawna couldn't find her phone after her shower too.
I definitely appreciate Evolved Jen!
Watching Barb being so purposefully toxic made me feel physically sick, but I’m so glad that I kept watching to see Jonathan tell her off! This feels like therapy.
One of these days, I feel like Barb should get a redemption arc, or something. It would be really interesting if that happened!
I also love your skits!❤
I was so excited for the birthday party!! And I need Christine to open Shawna's eyes about Ty 😭😭
RIGHT?! I was physically cringing
Exactly like back off buddy she got a HUSBAND
okay I thought I clocked Christine's reaction to him but I was checking myself like - hold up was it just for the Barb drama... or was that for Ty? What does she know?!?!?
@@AshaSelfsDemoFilms tbh I think it's both
@@AshaSelfsDemoFilmsit’s definitely about Ty she clocked that tea for sure.
The diabolical initial plan and rock solid commitment to stick together? ❤❤❤❤❤
notes as I watch (all positive):
- I actually like the intro lol, I think it matches the pacing of this storyline
- love the detail of the daughter saying "may you" that's the same thing my sister and i did, so real
- "Greg is very disappointed in you" is horrible behavior, very good script choice very relatable
- all of piper's behavior is like watching my 4 year old self, i did ALL of that lmao
- okay the acting in the "disappointing" bit? I could see barb in a horror movie being a very compelling villain. so well done.
- barb crying during the birthday song and nobody reacting was also perfect
- and Christine confirming the ty conspiracy in the last second!! I feel so validated I'm so hooked
I loved this! Watched it twice to make sure I captured it all. So many little inside jokes and hidden gems. The characters are so familiar now that it makes us feel like we are there with you and part of the family. Good job!!👏 👏 ❤
I cant imagine how long it took to think of this idea, write it out, film it with the 1000 different wigs and clothes, then edit it all? This whole family/series is so engaging and well-written at every second! Great work!
Oh, YES!!! Tina to the RESCUE!!! Shut that Ty stuff down and way to go John!
Shawna is so amazing with these cliff hangers. I can't wait for the barb fallout and the friends' accusations!!!
I know I NEED MORE AND I NEED IT NOW!!
The happy birthday song was the highlight of my day. And I had a darn good day
I feel like if Barb messed with the invites, she changed the date to sunday (or another day) instead of saturday so that people could show up with them unprepared and she’d have more reasons to insult and degrade shawna’s party skills because WHY DIDN’T YOU HAVE ANYTHING READY YOU ARE SO IRRESPONSIBLE AND CAN’T DO THINGS WITHOUT ME.
anyway the acting is so good I clutched my pearls the whole ten and a half minutes, thank you for this
Agreed! I'll bet she changed the date to Sunday somehow, since John's original manipulate-the-manipulator moment included him planting the idea that Sunday would be better for them. I'm totally white knuckled too!
OMG you're totally right!!! She's going to play it off like Shawna effed up the dates. Even though she checked to make sure the date was correct. Barb is SO busted.
unless she sent out saying it had been changed to sunday at her house so she has the party for him and ~saves the day~ im hoping Ty gets vindicated in just being a good guy who clicks with shawna. although with how julie was acting in the bakery its possible she had something to do with it.
Shawna mentions the karate moms and kids before her shower in front if barb, then after her shower can't find her phone..
AND
barb said "no one else is coming"
and KNEW the doorbell was yhe pizza guy??? how (pizza guy from the delivery app or text notification on the phone
I have NEVER been this interested in fictional characters that aren't in a tv show or a book. How you manage to make these characters come to life in these short skits and with you as the only actor is absolutely extraordinary. I have been checking every day for new skits and this was so exciting to see! Keep it up, girl! I am SOOOOOO looking forward to what happens next!
OMG I CAN'T with Frank's grunting during the birthday song 🤣
Coop AGRESSIVELY wiping his nose took me out in the best way possible
The overlapping Happy Birthday was truly amazing, it felt like I was there and hearing everyone sing around Max. Idk how you made it seem so ‘real’ but you did. Also LOVE how Christine immediately picked up on the Ty thing. Also I cheered when John let his mother have it, been a long time coming imo.
Truly a phenomenal job.
This is 10x better than anything Ive watched on Netflix!! The way I screamed and grabbed my face when Shana and Ty gave each other the look! Thank God Aunt Teeny called it out!!
I liked how Jennifer showed John compassion and was willing to talk. The 2 couples will have to have a discussion about the pros and cons of no contact or low contact. Jennifer and John are both lucky to have supportive partners.
Thank you for putting this all together in one video
Poor Shawna is so oblivious to Ty being a creeper. I 100% feel like Barb is to blame for the bad turn out of party, though like kids do Max doesn't notice or care lol. Hopefully Christine will be able to open Shawna's eyes to Ty so disater can be averted and boy do I feel bad for Jen and John. As someone who has had to cut out a parent from their life I fully get how they are feeling. Also you are honestly one of the creators that is keeping me sane right now lol thank you so much for all the hard work you do. It can't be easy finding the time to do all this while raising a family as well. It is so so appreciated!
I think thats why Ty’s wife doesn’t like Shawna. For all we know this is the 5th neighborhood they’ve moved to because he can’t keep it in his khaki shorts.
I hope Jennifer sees this too so Christine & her can say something to Shawna
@@Momjeansandshame granted, that in no way justifies her behavior. She's actively blaming the other women rather than actually putting the blame on her husband for HIS behavior. Worse, she's acting like she peaked in hs with that mean girl behavior (ma'am, you're a parent to young children, act your age and use your words 🙄🙄).
@ absolutely! Shawna’s got us out here guessing! 🤣
The thing is that She should be able to see it. If she can't, John can, and he should have said something a long time ago. Time for a new park.
The thing that makes me so angry about Barb is the way she is so willing to hurt her grandchildren (Max with the present and giving Piper cake to try and make Shawna or John go mad at her….) this is a new level of diabolical and she needs to be put in her place.
Oh my god, I was thinking that same thing! Like honestly, what kind of person intentionally uses their grandchild to hurt her family and said child in the process. It's diabolical, it's evil, it's over the top! It's absolutely barb! I am so infected in this and i'm loving this content
@ It hits harder for me because Barb is so my Nan, it’s actually scary how accurate it is.
@@erinberry5318narcissists 😂
Narcissists don’t care who they hurt, psychologically or even physically. It’s hard to get your head around just how awful they are unless you have dealt with one.
@@lisanygaard2720 this! Its all a zero sum game to them and if they actually DO get called out on their behavior, they just turn it around and make it about how bad THEY feel about being called out. Its exhausting (both of my parents, but especially my father, had those tendencies. My favorite example is the time he gaslit me about being gaslit by him... gaslight-ception! Lol).
After watching 5 times:
1) “Egg and JJ” is just too cute, and that whole thing is the best part of this
2) the fact that you have to record all of each character’s parts at once and yet it still flows so DAMN WELL is stunning. Plus in this one you had Shawna pre-shower, and Shawna post-shower, which meant all dudes and Barb were recorded pre-shower and everyone else post. Plus pre-cake and post-cake Piper. The amount of planning!
3) Julie sabotaged the party. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Didn't even think about Julie
Julie..? How could she manage to keep over 20 people from showing up and they only know each other from the park and ty? Especially since Ty didn't RSVP, I'd bet Julie doesn't even know he went. If you're right you're a genius lol I just cant see it. Barb is always my guess.
I also think its not Julie and its Barb but lets see how it pans out!!
@@Riddlebox13Ty got the évite but didn’t RSVP. Is that because Julie deleted it? Did she delete it after she sent a message to the guest list (that didn’t include Shawna) that said “Hey guys, Shawna is so stressed bc Max and Piper both have the flu! She’s asked me to let you know they’re going to have to cancel the party for now!”
If it was JUST paper invites I’d totally pin it on Barb, but since it was an évite, EVERYONE who rsvpd no showed, Th didn’t rsvpd and showed up, AND Julie ran when she saw Shawna picking up the cupcakes, I’m calling it.
Barb would want the most people available there to shower her with praise for getting such an excellent gift. Also, if you’ll recall, they invited Barb late. They waited until the invites were printed and ready for pick up, and there was no foreshadowing about the invites being misplaced or anything like that. She put out that Julie running off at the bakery video for a reason…
At least Max still seemed that he was happy! I think this would have stung a lot more if he was older, but he was just too distracted to care no one showed up.
This editing is so clean and must have taken FOREVER, especially the happy birthday audio. Well done, Shawna! This totally made my morning!
i feel like barb needs a FULL family intervention, like everyone writes her a dramatic letter discussing explicitly how her actions have affected them and why she needs to change. greg with the proposal, jen with the baby shower, john with max’s party, shawna with mother’s day and just in general, and even greg’s mom katie with the nutcracker surprise!!! barb needs the full blown and uninterrupted truth about what she is doing to her family 😭😭😭
She knows, she just doesn't care like most narcissists. Everything she does is calculated to make her the center of attention. No amount of telling her what she already knows will get her to change.
She purposely tried to one up her son so her gift would be all Max was occupied with and talk about. Greg never said the proposal would be on Xmas at her house, yet she dropped the bomb when she felt upstaged then got mad her daughter wasn't visibly upset like she hoped.
She made her daughters baby shower all about her because she just knew she'd have the strings on her daughter and her new grand baby, then got upset that those strings were cut. All intentions are malicious with her. Intervention should've been long before her even being married with kids for it to have been effective.
It won’t help. It will just feed her victim narrative.
They would need a full on professional therapist or someone high teir to deal with Barb
she'd probably enjoy an intervention because then everyone would be paying attention to her. She was pathetically grateful for Max's polite but casually tossed off "Thanks Grammy" when she sat him front and center. She's just an energy hole that can't be filled right now, and maybe forever.
The vast majority of narcissists cannot change, sadly.
Okay what the hell is going on with Shawna and Ty, i dont like this
Christine is gonna have a talk with Shawna its coming
OMG OMG OMG There's definitely something is up with Ty considering how his wife is acting. I'm thinking she has her reasons...
This is the only drama worth watching.
my thought is that Shawna gave him a look of adoration because she was grateful that someone outside of the family showed up for her son. But of course this is a developing story so who knows. Hopefully nothing nefarious😬
Is it just that I’m aromantic or did that just feel like a friend comforting their friend because things aren’t going as planned? I did not feel like there was any romance but that might just be because I don’t feel any romance
The way I just hollered at that ending!!!!!!!!! Omg!!!!!! And best friend clocked that so quick!!!!! I am fully invested and so glad I finally realized you're ok RUclips!!
I kind of wish Jonathan would have said, "you're right he doesn't need three let's return yours."
YESS I was wondering if anyone would say that! But I am very content with John having told Barb off anyway
It’s so telling that the worst insult Barb can sling is that you’re “*disappointing*” but she’s done nothing but disappoint everyone around her.
Honestly I’m a 30 year old man with no kids why am I so obsessed with this content
Because we all crave a narcissist getting their comuppence, and this women is an amazing actor
I'm a 66 year old woman with no kids, grandkids nor crazy M-I-L! I'm fully invested in these videos!
Because you were probably a child who witnessed stuff like this and didn't realize what it was
And they neeeever change.
AHH IVE BEEN SO READY FOR THIS!! Yall.. Christine is right, Shawna and Ty are acting a little weird. Second tho, I love how close DeeDee and Christine are!! It’s adorable. Barb literally INFURIATES me though!! Good job dad for sticking up for his family and himself.
there are so many things to react to. I hope Teeny shows Shawna that she's inadvertently (hopefully) flirting with Ty and sets her straight. I hope it's revealed that Barb sabotaged the RSVPs for her own grandson's party and THATS what causes no contact. I hope Max and Greg build a lego set together. I hope Piper eats all the cake she wants and more.
got the notification and ran STRAIGHT HERE

@@ShawnatheMom I love your videos!! 🩷🩷
The level of investment I have in these fictitious people played by the same actress is kind of off the charts. I freaking love these characters and this story and the lessons we're all learning about boundaries and personal growth and surviving toxic family members are all fantastic. It's entertaining AND therapeutic! Absolutely brilliant Shawna **chef's kiss**
I was 10000% expecting Barb to have done something to fuck up the invites and that’s why no kids showed up.
At this point am more invested in this series than in my own life 🤣
Omg I need to know how Barb sabotaged the guest list, and i can't wait to find out what's going on with Ty
I️ gotta say, right off the bat, DeeDee just makes me feel so calm and loved, I️ know it’s just a sketch character, and I️ don’t ever plan on having kids but I️ hope I️ can be just like DeeDee for at least one person ❤ thank you for bringing her to life for us
I LIVE for these long form videos! You bring each individual character to life to the point that in my head this family truly exists, we just haven’t met yet!! Fantastic!!
I am so invested 😂 all the storylines are wonderful and when he told Barb off I cheered!
Ty definitely has my side eye though
“May you get me cake” is so cute I love the way Piper talks
“No thank you Egg.” Piper didn’t get the answer that she wanted, but he still gets to keep the cute uncle nickname.
NOOOO NOT THE CLIFHANGER NOW I CANT SLEEP😭 Kidding Shawna, you did an incredible job, I’m so invested now
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! My fiance and i watch these together everytime they come out. We loved the thanksgiving and christmas one. Both of our moms remind us of Barb in different ways.....sadly.....thanks for the full upload!
Love these! All of the videos are so captivating! Better than any tv out there and addressing real issues that occur in families! Always looking forward to the next episodes!!
Jennifer checking on John was soooo good. It’s great to see her care about other people. Gosh I love this story so much.
My little theories rn:
-Barb had something to do with the invitations/lack of people coming to the party. Shawna/John find out eventually, and its the final straw for them to move forward with a no contact boundary.
-Julie had something to do with the invitations because shes jealous of the possible infatuation that Ty has with Shawna, and is doing everything to separate them.
Obviously theories are just for fun! Take it with a grain of salt! Amazing job as always Shawna ❤
thus is actually the last time for barb. she is being cut out..they just haven't told her yet.
Jonathan was amazed she lasted as long as she did, he's been waiting for the word to tell barb bye bye bye
If it were Julie Ty wouldn't be there either
I don't like Julie but I think she's innocent here.
90% sure it was Barb
10% I think it was Ty wanting to spend alone time with Shawna
we all know it was barb. she was too ready to scream "the family is here"
I want to believe the Barb theory but I also have a hard time believing she would be tech-savvy enough to be able to figure out how to message all of the people who RSVP'd yes to an evite
I'm wondering how many pizzas hubby actually got... I wonder if he changed the party time with everyone else, and that he'll have the big confrontation with his mum at the end of THIS party, and brush it off nicely with Max's real party. 😊
Oooo Christine is picking up on something -
right??? and shes NOT happy, oop!
And Shawna liked your comment, which gives additional credence to your observation.
This turned out Awesome. I wish this was a weekly half hour show.
Agree! Brava!
I've typed and retyped this comment now so many times because it never seems to make much sense than trauma dump rambling, but I'm going to try my damndest.
My heart goes nuts and my fight or flight is initiated listening to these videos with Barb and every bit of her toxic nastiness as my mother was this very person while I was growing up. And this video in particular, oh my god, as a mother of five and dealing with the birthday madness, toxic family, the social expectations of mom and dad friends when having kiddo friends - everything squeezing in tight and you just want to scream but can't. Watching John finally tell Barb off without raising his voice - just blunt rebuttal so she didn't have anything to feed off of - was absolute chef's kiss and is the level of done I wish I had been able to do.
Thank you so much for making these skits. Thank you so much for giving an authentic window into the lives of parenthood, juggling family dynamics, and just everything in between. You have been a source of catharsis for me and other parents I send your videos to.
I purposely don't share these with my husband because I know they will be triggering for him. Like Barb, his mother was a narcissist. He disconnected from her 2 years ago. Took him 63 years of life with her to do it, although he had gone low contact for several years before that. She passed away 12/14/24. He says he feels no grief, only relief, and that he grieved not having a real mother "a long time ago."
Okay what did Barb do to the evite?? Something happened there.
If she did she’s dead meat
I was thinking the same thing. She's a horrid woman
Literally!!! I can’t think of any way Barbara could be tech-savvy enough to deflect it!
I'm thinking Ty's wife is a part of that something
@hermi1-kenobi455maybe she went to the karate class?
You know she's a really good actor when Barb genuinely makes you angry 😂
Genuinely it’s so rare I find myself to be this level of aggrieved at a character to the point I hope Shawna swings for her.
We never quite see the aftermath/full fallout of barbs actions too, if I’m being super critical. I want an episode where EVERYONE goes in on her, telling her the effect her actions have on them
@@GeorgeM2809 Oh I'd really love to watch that
Shawna, this is Ida from Sweden. I've been following this saga for so long without subscribing (sorry), I really didn't want to admit to myself that I've become really invested. Lol. I caved tonight. I'm a subscriber now and I even admitted to my husband about my secret indulgence. Thank you for keeping this story arch going!
