I can’t believe I am about to make this post, but life on THE LAND seems to be going very well. The kids look really happy and healthy and well-fed. Jenelle and David seem to be getting along well. It’s actually a cute little family that seems very focused on the kids. They have tons of outdoor activities. There is a little kids zipline, a climbing dome, a pool, and tons of boating and fishing trips. Jenelle and David have taken the kids to Disney, all four of them.
There is even a post from September 9th of Janelle and Barbara having breakfast together! And smiling!
Jace seems a lot happier than we’ve seen him in years, and Kaiser seems happy too! Well except for the photos of him in the hospital. He had to get surgery to put tubes in his ears.
And speaking of surgery, the entire reason I went to Jenelle’s IG today is someone told me she is recovering from nose surgery. She got a septoplasty to fix a deviated septum. Lot’s of people will probably say she got a nose job, but I don’t think she’d be smart enough to use the term “septoplasty” if that was her plan. Plus her nose didn’t need any plastic surgery so I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt.
David is still David, and still says vaguely racist and homophobic stuff on social media. But the kids and Jenelle all seem to be very happy!
I know! I am shocked too! And I realize that Instagram is the version of events people want us to see, but seeing Jenelle at Jace’s soccer games with the kids and posting the score of his first game is soooo “soccer mom.” It’s sweet actually.
I watched the very first season of T.M. and remember her being an absolute disaster. Have not watched one episode since .i just recently started following her on Twitter because of Florence and seeing people talk about her. I really am hoping she is getting better . I didnt even know she had 4 kids now. I just remember her Mom taking the first born guess i better catch up lol.
I truly believe she hasn’t changed. I know people want to believe those kids are well cared for, but it was only a few months ago that she pulled a gun out in a fit of road rage right in front of her eldest son. I believe she has an undiagnosed personality disorder and desperately needs treatment before she can be the mother those children need.
Her improved relationship with her mother is possibly solely the result of being forced to film with someone who isn’t David. She was short on friends and family who would agree to be shown on national television. Barbara was pretty much the only person she had. I hope I’m wrong about that, though.
As for David, I don’t see what’s vague about his racism and homophobia. He’s blatantly stating that he is a bigot who believes his children should be, as well. God forbid one of them is gay or loves a person with any skin color other than white. If that happened, that child would be shunned or worse. The love he has for his children is clearly conditional.
IG is only what others want you to see, and Jenelle knows she has to rehab her image. Her family reminds me of the two mothers who adopted multiple children, posed them for social media purposes, and then drove them off a cliff. One needn’t look too far to see Jenelle’s true colors, though, because her horrible parenting is documented for the world to see. And that husband of hers is one step away from physically abusing those kids if he hasn’t already.
I completely agree…. I’ve been watching this show from the very beginning and I’m sorry but I think Jenelle has just gotten better at hiding things. Has everyone forgotten the gun incident and sadly I agree that she’s filming with her mom because who else is she going to film with. Sorry but I’m not buying what she’s selling
? Every word you typed.

Ditto, haven’t missed an episode. Staying through the hurricane in mandatory evacuation with 4 kids and running totally out of supplies says it all….same ole
What supplies did they run out of?
Yup, David posts horrible things and she co-signs them. She recently stole someone’s dog from the hurricane and refuses to give it back. I’m sure she posts happy things to keep her paycheck, but I guarantee we will see a whole different side of the story once Teen Mom 2 comes back.
What are you talking about?
She said she rescued a dog during the hurricane. She didn’t she stole it. The owner was looking for her and the dog. Then she went radio silent. She also said that they ran out of food during the hurricane so a company that helps out low income families decided to help her out. Shes not a low income family. Shes full of shit as usual. She never changes you should see the horrible things that pos husband has been saying on social media. They suck.
She is definitely a bad seed and is in for a rude awakening once the MTV money stops flowing.
@Bri: Great post. May I add MTV is sick of her crap and this latest contract negotiation she has to be on time, no tantrums, and not disrespect the crew by telling them to go away when they’ve flown all the way to NC. Adding new moms that are not OG, Jenelle and the others now see they don’t have the upper hand anymore.
What a great post, Bri! Thank you saying what most people are thinking.
Janelle is up to something with her IG posts. I’m thinking she’s trying to get full custody of Jace again and building her case starting with social media. Once she gets custody, Dave will take the family off the grid and buy more guns. Jace looks good and Kaiser is getting so big.
You raise a really good point on why she’s making nice with Babs. I do hope things get better for everyone.
It is a long and bumpy ride from teen mom ..
I sure hope things are as good as the current portrayal, but I still sorry about holes punched in walls, guns in vehicles, kids being taught to be homophobic (what is mild?), but things do seem better for now.
Don’t forget about Jenelle getting free food during Hurricane Florence all the while she rakes in very well over six figures.. There is so much wrong with these two, every week there’s something else. As I stated above I truly feel this is all damage control to keep her MTV paycheck rolling in. I worry to think what will happen when these checks stop because one day they will and Jenelle is not capable of handling a regular 9 to 5 job an juggles kids and a family. She can barely deal with David cleaning up the yard and not paying enough attention to her for god sakes.
Worry (sorry, too ). And yeah that pesky racism.
We can hope.
Exactly. I’m happy that Jace has all of these activities to burn off his excess energy. He seems so much happier.
I knew a boy whose family moved to a cabin in the mountains to pull him out of a certain life and he is a great guy now. It can be a great way for a boy to grow up. As a kid, I spent (and still do spend) time walking in the woods and it’s a great way to deal with life.
As to Kathryn and Jenelle, so often discussed here, I know a mother whose child is in a far deeper hole. I would rejoice for all of them, grandmother, daughter, and grandchildren if they turned it all around. I’d feel the same for Jenelle. When my father died, that mother told me that he’d always treated her daughter well no matter her behavior and it had been just what the girl needed many times.
I want Jenelle to get her life together for her kids. Do I think she has? Not for a second. She is trying, but she is a long way from playing the role of grown ass adult who puts her kids first on a daily basis as we must. She’s perhaps better than she has been, but she still has far to go to show her kids that they are the priority day in and day out. I don’t dislike her, I think she is extremely troubled and doing what she can with what she has.
I really hope for everyone’s sake that they are finding their way into a happier, healthier place. I am a mom of two that absolutely loves her two children but I will admit to losing my patience on occasion. I cannot imagine if someone was filming my parenting. She is a difficult position and I am proud of her for keeping herself drug free and sober!!’
I wonder how the home schooling with David’s daughter is going.
How do we know she is being homeschooled? The boys are not.
Uneducated Jenelle said she was home schooling his daughter.
did she say why she was homeschooling her?
Reportedly, there was a kid at Maryssa’s private school who was dressing against gender assigned at birth.
They tried to move her to a different private school but they don’t live in the correct district.
Public school is not adequate, per David.
Wow! Just.wow!! You can’t make this stuff up…
Private schools don’t have districts. She probably didn’t meet the requirements for the private school.
Also, she probably has an actual teacher that comes out and outlines the lesson plans for that day.
Even with all given all the benefit of the doubt above, Janelle does not have time to homeschool and film for Teen Mom. Also, does Maryssa live there full time now? Where is her mother in all fhis?
They took the daughter marissa out of school and are homeschooling her because apparently one of the schools staff is trans.
I really hope she gets back to school eventually. She will have mandated reporters there who can help her if anything really is going on.
Hate to disagree with you but no way are those kids ok. Instagram only shows the best of the worst. Jenelle’s husband yet again, went on a rant about how transgendered people are going to hell.
Plenty of bigoted people are capable of providing a safe environment for their children. Many religious people feel that homosexuality and transgender people are going to hell. He’s an idiot, a racist, and a bigot, but I think he is happy as a bug in a rug about his little family on the land and that it is despite his radical beliefs, a safe place for them. DFCS has been out there a billion times due to idiots from the Internet reporting them and never once has there been any reason to remove the children.
There are a lot of unsafe things going on out there on the land & all the info comes straight from Janelle & David’s Social Media. I get your point & why it would appear things are better from what you shared, but you’ve only scratched the surface. There are a few Twitter, Tumblr & YouTube accounts that have all the proof. It’s sad, very sad for all of them.
First time commenting, but longtime reader – thank you for all you do to keep us in the loop.
Gosh you are such a moron? you thrive off people kissing ur ass but when they don’t you turn into a defensive illiterate bully..stop trying to force your opinion onto everyone else ..jenell is a fake manipulator only a fool would fall for her crap.
I’m sorry I just dont buy it. She posts a couple of pics online making it seem like shes doing her job as a parent then she wants a pat on the back. This girl is not capable of changing everything she does is calculated and its purpose is to make us believe shes changed and shes this great parent. Those kids are in a living hell as long as they are there with those 2. Also I wonder what happened to her nose last week. David’s friend who apparently banged jenelle before they got together basically posted on Twitter that they had sex and we all know how david is. The next day she was in the hospital getting emergency nasal surgery. Hmmmmmmmmm.
Because dcfs. Fails a lot of people. If you have enough money you can pretty much get away with whatever. Children die every day because they are failed by these people. Really hope you are back on the sauce because this was a really dumb thing to say.
I don’t have kids (by choice) but I think any parent who discriminated against others cannot genuinely be what I consider to be a good parent. They can keep their kids healthy and safe— although I don’t believe that is the case with Jenelle and her kids.
Those kids have access to guns and are exposed to guns regularly. We’ve seen it on Teen Mom, with Jenelle pulling a gun over a simple road rage incident. Jace isn’t big enough to be riding in the front seat at his age and size alone.
Neither of them work. They aren’t good role models. There are anger issues like crazy in that household. Jenelle admits to not giving Jace his medication. Medication for ADD, etc. isn’t something to mess with.
They’re horrible parents.
As non parents we can judge just like everyone else. But to claim that David is not a good gun owner is facts not in evidence.I was not happy when Kaiser was playing with fake guns. I was not happy when David was ranting about kids using bathrooms with transgender kids or whatever he said, Plenty of people in the south were raised by homophobic racist parents. And turned out just fine and told their parents they were fucked up, Plenty of kids were raised with guns in the house and fished a lot.
Most of them grew up to vote for Trump. It’s not a crime.
But Early voting hhas started in Georgia and evebtually will start in your state so stop you whining and GO VOTE.
I live in a Republican county in a Democratic state. Voting is important to me.
To be fair. I don’t think Kali’s kids are benefiting from her mother being on Teen Mom.
Here’s the thing; I’ve never liked the gist of the show. It’s glamorized teen pregnancy to people who just don’t know better.
I may not have been careful at times in my life but I was always super careful about potential pregnancy and am even in my marriage as kids aren’t a realistic part of our lives. So some of these women with 3 kids by 3 days before they hit 30? It’s trashy to me.
Wow, so guns don’t scare you and CPS has never gone to a house where the kids find themselves in trouble or even dead. I don’t trust him as far as I can pick him up and throw him. You can be whatever you want to be in life but you don’t go posting it all over the place and you don’t go shooting guns on a day that kids in Florida get killed, cuz it’s not funny!
I was convinced that this family would end up 15 feet under water from the earlier hurricane. It’s something of a relief to see that they’re all alive.
I’m sorry? Jace seems happier….because he’s smiling more in photos? Jenelle went to a soccer game so all is well and good?
We all know a train wreck friend or family in real life, then we see their profiles on social media, and realize they are lying to acquaintances about their true circumstances all for the sake of image. I cannot believe for a second that Jenelle and David have suddenly changed their personalities, temperaments and probable addictions. I do believe they both know that without MTV money, the are screwed. They are simply playing nice to ensure she keeps her “job”.
The biggest change in her life is that there is less David. He’s not allowed around when she’s filming and she’s forced to film with her mother. Word on the curb is that production is not cow-towing to her diva demands. If she doesn’t want to film in protest, they will call the lawyers.
Structure and good influences have been introduced into the mix.
Well today, Jenelle is irritated with production again. She has no control over her storyline and claims Barb and her director are calling all the shots. She wanted to film things like Jace’s first soccer game, the baby’s wellness check up, Kaisers eat surgery, her nose surgery or any of the other things she is posting on IG.
Instead she says it’s all about custody issues with exes, I presume it is about Kaiser’s dad and his battle for custody.
She says she is just a prop like a robot nodding in the corner and rarely speaking.
This is all because they have put their foot down on her usual tantrums.
She is STILL getting money courtesy of getting knocked up at 16 and MTV riding the Juno wave, which I still don’t understand. How could she not be grateful for that? I suppose from never having to bear any real responsibility for her stupid shit, less a few trips to the pokey for a little while.
I’m surprised pulling that gun with the kid in the car didn’t get all her kids taken from her. What a maroon. Yeah, hope they pull it together but…. The Donut is adorable.
You know how I used to be Kenya, but then I was Bethenny? Well apparently now, I’m Jenelle.
Please dont ever be jenelle.
Good God, woman. Snap out of it! You’re talking about an addict who’s toddler trembles at the sight of his stepdad, and she not only stays with him, but brought another baby into this mess!
Ummm well her Instagram certainly LOOKS good. I do really want to see all the teen moms thrive, so I’d be happy if the reality matched up.
Thank you. God forbid we give a little bit of benefit of the doubt that perhaps David isn’t going to mow all the kids down with a semiautomatic rifle one day.
Surely there could be some sort of middle ground where everyone is kind of okay and the kids turn out with just the normal dose of fuckedupness.
It’s being reported that the police were out on The Land for a fight between David & Janelle on Oct. 13.
Let me guess: Refused to press charges?
Yup. I hate that i was right about this. Police were called for a domestic violence *assault*. Not just yelling. An assault, likely in front of the children. Those kids live in chaos and tension. They’ve likely been in fear of their parents more than we can imagine.
Here’s the thing. David doesn’t love Jenelle. He was bunk mates in prison with her ex husband. Her ex husband told David that she had money and would buy the men in her life whatever they wanted because she is desperate for a man.
David then gets out of prison and finds her. He knew she was an easy target. She immediately moved him in and paid his way. He likes not having to work, so he married her for her money. He does not love her. He loves her lifestyle.
Barbara has seen it all along. Davis is a narcissist who is out to make some money, and he’s entitled to 50% of what she has now. Plus, he knocked her up, so if they divorce, he may even get some child support because she is the breadwinner. His plan has worked perfectly.
Whatever happened to Jenelle as a child has made her incredibly vulnerable to predators like David. To her detriment, she has tried so hard to get a man to love her. She doesn’t want to be a mother. She has babies to keep whatever man she is with at the time. She does not want the responsibility of being a parent. She wants the attention the men give her during pregnancy and to feel she has her man now that there is a child who bonds them for life.
Jenelle needs loads of therapy. She will never be a good parent until she learns to love herself first and to stop relying on random men for happiness. I don’t think she has the self awareness to seek treatment for herself, so I pray someone steps up for Kaiser and Ensley as Barbara has for Jace.
Wow. That is a whole lot of information for a report that cops were called to the land, and no arrests were made. There was no report on who made the call. There was no police report filed at all. And no one knows what happened.
You went straight from that to Jenelle doesn’t love her children and only has them to trap her men.
I didn’t find anything online (from a cursory search) about this recent incident, but the thread started with a huge leap (and wish, which we all just have) that, based on a few sweet looking Instagram posts, life was good on The Land.
I did run across reports, with Tweets, from last year, about a feud between David’s sister and the mother of his son (not Maryssa’s mom).
At the time, David was working to get visitation and custody (shared) of his son.
His family thought the first supervised visits should be at the house on The Land, where the big could get used to the place with familiar people present. Instead, a Twitter war erupted between Jenelle and David’s sister because she is friendly with her nephew’s mother and Jenelle refused to allow them to supervise visits on The Land.
This the visits were starting elsewhere.
My question is, what happened with that? Does David’s son now have visitation on The Land, bringing the total number of kids exposed to Jenelle and David up to FIVE?
As for Teen Mom, reports are that production is finally not putting up with her diva says and when she tries to change filming schedules they are threatening legal action.
One reason you see the pictures of her with Barbara is that Barbara is one of a handful of people who will film with Jenelle. The Good news is that they are getting along better.
And recent pictures show David grooming himself to look like a creepy white power dude, with that horrible heard and shaved head.
There is a lot going on right now and as usual I am waiting for some credible information. In the meantime people on Twitter have driven her to turning off her account.
This is fine for all of the trolls waiting for them to all die on THE LAND. But not so good for those of us who want to know what is happening with the kids or at the very least see signs of life.
As usual, all the idiots who tweet nasty shit to reality people on social media are only making the situation worse.
