OMG, for too long after I read your comment, I was thinking, "I don't know, time alone in your favorite bar for mother's day would be kinda awesome" Lol, I'm old. You youngsters and your lingo 😂
I love this man character the way he stands up to his mother..my hubby would find me the one to be at fault and never his precious mommy or sissy..mama has my hubbys balls in her purse..I so wish he would stand up to his entitled mother and bossy sister
What an incredible series! You are really doing so much to bring attention to the problematic family dynamics that a mother has to endure after having children. Thank you!🙏🏼
@@Scheherazade-wq1ve She is. Abuse occurs on different levels, and someone or it can be corrected with some good communication and firm boundaries. Other kinds can't be fixed and aren't healthy or safe to endure. Totally agree. We haven't seen my ILs in many years. But in many families, a couple being a mutually supportive, loving, communicative team can really help. I foolishly didn't tell my husband a lot of the abuse I endured during pregnancy....but once the babies were born, he couldn't not see it, and started drawing lines....and eventually broke all contact. He loved this video series, he applauded John.
That was incredible. I gasped when Jennifer said she's just a fat mom who hates her kids. The audacity. 😂 John is the husband we all want, and that was the perfect ending. My mother and sister in laws are lovely, thank god, but I love this series.
I would love a skit on how someone like Jennifer can actually make it right & actually be a good auntie without stepping over boundaries. Or what do you wish you knew back when you were 'Jennifer'?
Jennifer 👏 redemption 👏 arc! Yesss I'd love if she got to reflect after John's talking-to, and would also be so nice for us to learn from her mistakes too on how to be more supportive. 😊
YAAAAS THIS IS PERFECT! The ending about her change in attitude really surprised me, and definitely a lot of us have to work hard to let our ego go and take lessons and grow from them. Definitely shorts about auntie and how she grows in her interactions with mom and the kids. But not like a shield from Barb, cause that’s not real life. Definitely mom is great at boundaries, but putting up boundaries are so exhausting whew! Maybe more interactions between Mom and Dad without topics relating to kids, even dad putting up boundaries or communicating 🥰
I am the anti-Jennifer. I want a relationship with my sister in laws so bad because I grew up with two younger brothers but my sister in laws already have big extended families and friend groups so they just don’t have time for me 😂😂😂😂 I have one female pal but I’d love a mom friend in the family
The "no I'm glad you brought this to my attention" sold me hard!! That is a man who loves his wife. He's human, he is bound to miss some things that go on, but now Shawna knows she can go to him about an issue and he will take it personally as a family mater and not just her complaining.
"Oh! I know you did not just blatantly insult my wife to me face!" That line gave me chills! So perfect! I heard the rumble in the background it's supposed to resonate with! *chef's kiss* Beautiful!
This makes me miss my MIL.I remember one mothers day we were all sitting in a crowded restaurant with my daughter pouting and grumpy, and her biological grandchildren were screaming and hitting each other under the table, and her children were all desperately trying to look like they were having fun, she turned to me and whispered, "think anyone would notice if we crawled out the bathroom window?" 😆
I'm a grandmother and try my best not to be a "Barb." I try to be the opposite of "Barb." May I say... you are as cute as a button, and all your videos are fantastic, from the content to the camera angles to the acting! Keep up the good work, Shawna. You're helping a lot of people!
I am on the edge of my seat for Mother's Day 2025 and whatever apologetic gesture the new and improved Jennifer makes for this behavior toward Shawna before. Ultimate sign of growth, fingers crossed. I am more invested in this series than any TV show or book series right now and it's probably healing more, too. You're an amazing creator. Thank you for sharing!!
Oh yay that’s a good sign!! I try to splice them a little to still have it seem like a whole story but yes a few moments here and there sometimes. Thanks for being here!! 💕
@@ShawnatheMom Yep, I liked seeing a little more of Jennifer's surprise and shame when she realizes she's crossed a line! I definitely remember some moments like that as a young person, learning to be more compassionate and center myself less.
This should be a mandatory series for every couple to watch before getting married to know this is what a loving supportive couple looks like ! Or heck ! Counselors could use it as a visual tool for couples in need ! Absolutely love it !
story telling like this would absolutely be fun to see more of! Not just entertainment, but it also gives a lot of people a space to relate to and come together and share how we deal with family members like this
LONG FORM! LONG FORM! LONG FORM!!!! YOU ARE OUTSTANDING.... LOVE YOUR SHORTS AND NOW YOUR LONG FORMS!!! A BIT LATE BUT HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY!!! Hugs from Baltimore, Maryland!🥰
YES,I especially love the long forms. I enjoy having more development of the story. And watching boundaries get enforced helps me learn how to resurrect my own boundaries that have been violated, so they do more than entertain, they help us to heal.
Absolutely agree with this. This is especially true for those of us who have been verbally mauled by family members, then gaslit by our intimate partners. I also really enjoy Shauna's mom as well, so more pieces with her would be great.
Oh man, a series about how Barb got to jaded in the first place. We love our boundarycrossing, toxic parents even though we have to put up with being more emotionally mature but they also had a lot of messed up things and ideas forced on them that ultimately contributed to how they think and behave now. That would be a deep one!
Now.I want to see the end of all the other shorts too! You could begin by compiling the other videos into long form compilations like this until you know what you want to do This Barb series is soo satisfying and validating! So many people deal with disrespect like this in so many ways so it's so cathartic to have these videos that release these built up emotional injustices in us xxxx
I’m a young person who’s like a decade away from having kids, but messy family drama is my fave kinds of stories to write about so your videos have become a great source for what motherhood is like ✍️
That was so nice to have a full story and also to get a bit of you and your own commentary on your characters! I would love more of this, and more just from you and your thoughts on the things you make on here 🥰
You're acting is getting so freakin' good! Character writing is on point! Pretty sure the husband finally having enough and talking with his sister is what I'm gonna show future prospects on what I expect 😂
I don’t know how many times I have watched this, but I get such a kick out of this series. I think my favorite moment is when John says, “Uh oh.” I chuckle at that every time. LOL
Yeah. I remember *BC* (before children) when I would walk in peoples homes with children and think "omg, why is it so messy, why don't they do their dishes". Then I had children... *end of story* Suddenly, I understood!
You did great. So many of us have endured so much crap in the name of family where we stood alone, didn't feel we could make and keep boundaries, have a voice and be respected. The lying is such a big part of it because even when you do challenge stuff, they deny it and it's your word against theirs. And if your children's dad is a mamma's boy they just won't side with you regardless.
I’m so glad to finally see the ending. I have watched most if not all. And it kept ending before the real ending. If all husbands would do this, or if all mother-in-laws would act like humans, my experience would negate none do. It would be so much easier. I can’t begin to tell stories about the “ women “ I’ve had to deal with. The main reason I will never ever be that mother -in - law. I have even gone as far as letting my son-in-law know, if I cross a boundary, to just let me know and that will be the end of that. I also watch myself like a hawk, if ask for input I give it, if not I keep my mouth shut. I had my children, I’m grandma, I don’t have the right to impose my will or my way on anyone. They are adults. I get to just spend time with them, not impose on them. I am grateful for my time with all of them, I know, time is precious, and mine isn’t infinite, so I want there to be harmony . I want my love ones to remember their time with me as happy, not conflicted.
I keep watching that last speech of John on repeat. It was so satisfying to see someone stand up and just BE THERE for their wife. I LOVED it. This is HER house. Those are HER children. You are a GUEST and you're only a guest because SHE allows it. SHE puts up with it.
Omg this was the best! I love when John stood up for you!!!❤❤ it just brings the stress of motherhood down a few notches when hubby is in your corner 😊
That was soooooo satisfying!! It’s a bit sad how we have to look to RUclips to see examples of healthy and firm boundaries-setting; but RUclips is way better than not having these concrete examples, and trying to figure it out on our own, and gaslighting ourselves. Good job!!
We get to see the lovely lady past the collarbone! You look lovely, Mama! Not a mom yet but a mom-ish person and I love your content to help me sympathize with new moms and my own mothers experience 😁
I dont have any kids but i do come from a very toxic family and have had really toxic relationships. Your videos are really healing for me, they struck a nerve everytime and they do heal me for some reason. There is also somethng with your voice that is so calm yet so confident... My comment might be a little deep, but thank you for every video!!
Yep… Boundaries that feel good, and are safe, strong, life-affirming and light-filled, just becomes this magnificent crucible for healing, resilience, learning and growth , loving connections, authenticity, and masterful contributions to wellbeing. Such good work you are doing!!!
My dad talks a lot about how long it took him to realize he was still putting his mother's feelings ahead of his family's needs and how hard it was to learn the difference, but how worth it the learning was.
Also just noticing a pattern I. Your shorts…the ones with John as the thumb nail have significantly more views than other thumb nails. I think he’s a crowd favourite - use it.
@@kattyhatty3799 When I first saw the videos I thought she was portraying a lesbian couple. Either way, having a supportive spouse that takes your side rather than their family is worth more than rubies.
I am so obsessed with this series, I’m so grateful I found you!!! I follow you on IG and live for your clips and story updates…. When I found out there was a RUclips with long form vids I RAN! I assumed I was really late to the party and I’d have years of backstory to catch up on but so relieved to see I’m pretty up to date with this family drama and I cannot wait to see where it goes. You are ridiculously talented, I forget I’m watching just 1 person, the way you inhabit their personas is incredible and I’m screaming at my phone! Lol. Knowing people like these characters makes it so visceral, thank you for bringing these toxic relationships to life, it makes those of us with these experiences feel seen and understood. Is there a community for commenters? Cos I need in on that! All the love ❤
I love the shorts! So happy I found this complete long video with all of them in context. Everytime I hear this, I find it totally outrageous that the daughter in law is to plan for mother's day for her MIL, when MIL has two kids, and daughter in law has her own mother somewhere - and IS a mother!!! SO messed up and so ignorant by in-law-family. I hope you will do more of these!
I've been more invested in these 6 minutes of content over the last week or so than I have been in most movies over the last year. This is EXCELLENT storytelling. Keep going, girl, you have a natural talent for this stuff.
You are a joy! I would love to see more of Shawna in surprising or loving scenarios where she is so pleased with how someone shows up or supports. Those are my favorites of your reels. I also know it’s hard for Barb and Jennifer to learn from their mistakes, too, but those two being respectfully redirected like in this clip is just delicious 🎉
I'm a 38 year old divorced gay guy with no kids and have the least invasive family ever-- in other words, I really can't relate to any of your stuff on a personal level-- but your videos are some of my absolute favorite content! And you seem like you must be just such a nice person! 🥰🥰🥰 Just wanted to let you know. I'm totally here for anything you share!
Never once in all the years I was married to my son’s father did he stand up for me. He would run and hide and just let me take the shit thrown. I’m glad there are better men out there for the lucky women that find them. Hold them close, cherish them.
I literally try to watch your videos everyday ! You could make a Q/A with your husband, or you could continue to make series into long formed videos. You could make guides on what to expect from kids, or having them, or how to prepare to deliver. Or you can just talk about you! you're very entertaining and I love everything you make
I almost wet myself I laughed so hard. We all know these characters and you did them brilliantly. I loved the shorts you did on the veteran mom versus the new mom are wonderful.
Just keep doing what you are doing girl its awesome if you are looking for some ideas/inspiration on how to do longer videos maybe check-out the one youtuber she does a "small town drama" series. She does shorts and also combines them to longer video's. Or get subscriber's to share their monster in law stories and sct out other people's monster in law/family dramas .. just a suggestion 😊
I love how you clarified who the characters are at the end. And I can totally feel who John is through your acting haha. I hope he's as amazing as you act him out to be. Go John!
I absolutely love all your content! My daughter is now 32 but the first year of her life was quite frankly, awful. I love her dearly but I hate that I don't have many good memories of that first year. I had little to no support, and she was a "I'm not sleeping unless you walk me around" baby, 24 hours a day. This content reminds me of those days but helps me also be reminded to try and be there for other moms I encounter. Thank you so much for all the encouragement you give us moms! You are amazing! 💗
You are my role model, you are a beautiful glowing mom and you inspire me to care more about myself and my future children's boundaries, you make me happy and thank you for all your guidance
Even though I watched all the shorts, it was great seeing them altogether. Also started following you after seeing the short where John calls his mom. What a boss.
The Barb crazy eyes are frankly impressive. Thank you for making and sharing these stories; they're entertaining and also helpful for... sort of learning from the social mistakes of others? not sure how to say that.
Dude, it was so great to see the whole thing put together. Rock out, lady. And I say this as a dad, I have had those conversations with family members, when it's just time to 100% shut down the nonsense. That's excellent sensitivity in your writing, acknowledging what some of us men know is our responsibility to our partners and children. Awesome.
When John said “where the fuck HAVE I been?” I swooned lol
She plays a very attractive man
I almost needed a towel and a cigarette lol
😂😂😂😂@@suzbone
@savannahs8914 VERY
That was some baby making comment right there. 😂
"I don't wanna be uncomfortable to celebrate mother's day" is a bar.
OMG, for too long after I read your comment, I was thinking,
"I don't know, time alone in your favorite bar for mother's day would be kinda awesome"
Lol, I'm old. You youngsters and your lingo 😂
It should be an anthem!!
@@youdidntseeanything8589
It would be a great bar. Lots of virgin drinks, booth with arm rest to make breast/bottle feeding more comfortable.
*“Jennifer . . . is ME”*
The soap opera drama thickens
Jennifer reflecting on pre baby Jennifer has potential.
It's relatable.
John's firmness with his mother and righteous rage at his sister brought tears to my eyes. I LOVE his uncompromising support of his wife.
I love this man character the way he stands up to his mother..my hubby would find me the one to be at fault and never his precious mommy or sissy..mama has my hubbys balls in her purse..I so wish he would stand up to his entitled mother and bossy sister
I told my husband, "that was so attractive, and she's not even a real dude!" 😂 I'm also very straight, just to clarify 🤪
Same
I melt every time he says "i have something planned... no not for you" we LOVE healthy boundaries
"she takes everything like a personal attack!"
"so stop ATTACKING HER."
🗣💯‼️🔥🔥💯💯🔥‼️‼️🔥🔥‼️
What an incredible series! You are really doing so much to bring attention to the problematic family dynamics that a mother has to endure after having children. Thank you!🙏🏼
no she isn't. people abuse you you get the hell away from them never let them near your children and get on with your life.
@@Scheherazade-wq1ve She is.
Abuse occurs on different levels, and someone or it can be corrected with some good communication and firm boundaries.

Right?!
Yes, i am so grateful my man is like that. It has been hard 10 years. Now we just dont visit that much

The details 😍
I love how Barb and Jennifer both just talk AT you and not to you, never actually answer your questions
"Jennifer is me before I had kids." I definitely didn't ever guess that one... 😆

The amount of shit a person has to go through to think acting like that is okay is crazy, and it’s the only thing keeping me nice to my mom.

Thanks for showing us the real you. I absolutely love your shorts. You're fantastic. So talented as a writer and an actor

Never once in all the years I was married to my son’s father did he stand up for me. He would run and hide and just let me take the shit thrown. I’m glad there are better men out there for the lucky women that find them. Hold them close, cherish them.
You deserved better then, and I hope you have it now.
You are the absolute cutest! I love watching your videos. Thanks for the laughs, the emotions, the awesomeness!
I literally try to watch your videos everyday ! You could make a Q/A with your husband, or you could continue to make series into long formed videos. You could make guides on what to expect from kids, or having them, or how to prepare to deliver. Or you can just talk about you! you're very entertaining and I love everything you make
You put into very simple, easy to understand terms, the really hard to emphasize parts of motherhood and thank you so much for that 😊❤️
LOVED the long form ❤
I almost wet myself I laughed so hard. We all know these characters and you did them brilliantly. I loved the shorts you did on the veteran mom versus the new mom are wonderful.
I love your videos
Honestly, I would love to sit and watch all of the family shorts and one chronological super long form video! I am so invested in this family 😂
Just keep doing what you are doing girl its awesome if you are looking for some ideas/inspiration on how to do longer videos maybe check-out the one youtuber she does a "small town drama" series. She does shorts and also combines them to longer video's. Or get subscriber's to share their monster in law stories and sct out other people's monster in law/family dramas .. just a suggestion 😊
Okay thanks I’ll look her up!!

This series is what prompted me to subscribe! More MIL and SIL interactions and repercussions of said interactions would be great! 😊
I love youre Series 😍. I'm So happy that John stood up for his wife 🍾
So happy you appeared. I know your characters. Wonderful spot on creation
Oh goshhhh. This hits so much more in long version! Yes John 💪
love John's healthy boundaries, and that he got through to jennifer!! shawna deserves this!!
You're so talented! I believe each and every character you portray and feel the emotions. GREAT JOB!
I love how you clarified who the characters are at the end. And I can totally feel who John is through your acting haha. I hope he's as amazing as you act him out to be. Go John!
I’ve never seen you talk and be yourself until now
I’m staring from the beginning and watching EVERYTHING 😂
I love the way she plays the characters. It feels so grounded and down to earth. ❤
Love these videos so much. They are clever, pointed, amusing, and so fun. You are doing great work here. ❤❤🎉🎉❤❤
I absolutely love all your content! My daughter is now 32 but the first year of her life was quite frankly, awful. I love her dearly but I hate that I don't have many good memories of that first year. I had little to no support, and she was a "I'm not sleeping unless you walk me around" baby, 24 hours a day. This content reminds me of those days but helps me also be reminded to try and be there for other moms I encounter. Thank you so much for all the encouragement you give us moms! You are amazing! 💗
I love your videos. I love your storytelling. Please continue to do that. I can’t get enough of your stories.❤😂
You are adorable and I love ALL of your characters!
You are my role model, you are a beautiful glowing mom and you inspire me to care more about myself and my future children's boundaries, you make me happy and thank you for all your guidance
Even though I watched all the shorts, it was great seeing them altogether. Also started following you after seeing the short where John calls his mom. What a boss.
The Barb crazy eyes are frankly impressive. Thank you for making and sharing these stories; they're entertaining and also helpful for... sort of learning from the social mistakes of others? not sure how to say that.
Dude, it was so great to see the whole thing put together. Rock out, lady. And I say this as a dad, I have had those conversations with family members, when it's just time to 100% shut down the nonsense. That's excellent sensitivity in your writing, acknowledging what some of us men know is our responsibility to our partners and children. Awesome.
Love your characters! John is wonderfully supportive!❤
girl you're really talented and creative and versatile and every other adjective I couldn't think of. Fon't ever stop. You are one of my favorites.
Great series! Love that John had your back and told his family what's what. Looking forward to more stories.
I love your vids❤ I can't stop watching them.
I am just obsessed with your creativityyyyy😍 you're so real and down to Earth, and just appreciate it!❤
Love this series! Your mom videos make me feel so seen! Thank you ❤️
