[@summernymph]

i actually think you’re doing the right thing by limiting lennon’s presence on your channel, i do believe in raising child with the smallest amount of screen time is still the better thing to do (though i’m not a mom, but i saw how my 2 nephews raised with technology). anyways, happy birthday lennon🩵

[@imjennim]

Thank you! I appreciate this comment! x

[@seanjenson5784]

You won't ever regret showing Lennon less but you may very much regret exposing him on the internet too much. You're making the right decision.

[@imjennim]

Thank you! Yes, I've been reflecting more on the permanence of the internet these days.

[@anagnzls9876]

Kudos for setting the boundary and prioritizing lennon's sake.

[@silkwave5200]

You never have to explain your right to privacy, for you and your family.

[@littlelemon972]

That is a wise call on showing Lennon less as sweet as he is to include! I've noticed more and more content creators consciously choosing to keep their kids' lives more private and that is definitely a safer way to do it. Sending all the love to y'all 💛

[@ApplesThatRead]

Been following since like LITERALLY community college thrift days and tumblr tags. You have blown me AWAYYYYY as a mother and a parent irrespective of gender, like you did PHENOMENALLY in this huge HUGE life journey 🥲 It really is so sad that the loudest voices are the most critical and unnecessarily nasty. I just hope you know like 98% of people are not thinking such nasty and mean-spirited things about you EVER. You've done your best, and your best is world's ahead of the best many other people even dream of doing by their kids. I would have respected any decision you made because it's your life and your channel 😁

[@rmmr1168]

Here here! I applaud their decision to preserve Lennon’s privacy.

[@XianWenpoops]

Completely agree!!

[@imjennim]

Ahh thank you so much for the continued support throughout all the years. Yes, you're right! The vast majority of this community are so incredibly supportive and that's what I always remember! x

[@schmoey17]

i honestly am still so amazed that you filmed and shared your birthing experience with us. the generosity!! you have already given so much. please safeguard any part of your life that you need to ❤

[@BlameItOnSeptember]

as someone studying privacy law and interested in researching children in the entertainment industries (social media included!), i really respect your choice to protect lennon's privacy and personal rights, even as a child! there really aren't enough protections in the world for children, so it's up to parents like you to advocate for them and keep them safe :)

[@jojoanne4]

YOu are doing the right thing and a lot of youtube moms are doing this. I love that and with a crazy world like this it seems like a great option

[@AlexisBelon]

I could not agree with this statement more. Btw if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏

[@Drishti_Pariyar_]

Am I the only one who eagerly waits for her videos??😭😭❤

[@AlexisBelon]

No it’s not just you babe! Btw if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏

[@Drishti_Pariyar_]

@@AlexisBelonGot you girl!! ❤

[@ashleyvelasco919]

Hell yeah! I absolutely respect that you're not showing your Lennon anymore. I hope more youtubers follow your lead in that.

[@EL-zs8og]

I loved seeing your mommy vlogs because it’s hard to find Asian moms sharing their journey on KZbin. It helps me think of my journey since I’m steps behind you and been watching you for decade. People forget it’s not just about the baby but the shift of life, mind, and identity as a mom - society does not make it easy and people have ten more nonsense ‘critiques’ for moms to be than they do for dads. I appreciate modern moms redefining what motherhood should be, on our own terms. I fully support and respect your decision on whatever you choose. So happy that you get to choose what’s best for you & family.

[@k.sarah_sarah]

Honestly, I am rather glad that you made that decision to keep things private. I started watching your videos since middle school, and now I am married. You felt like an older sister I never had, but as someone who doesn't plan on having children, I didn't really watch videos of KZbinrs featuring their kids, and even unsubscribed to those who made that a main theme of their channel. I stayed with your channel because of the inspirational, non-childcare related videos! I don't think not showing your kid means you don't like being a mom, I would rather say showing too much of it is like seeking attention/recognition from outsiders which is really not necessary for you to have in order to be a great mom. Hope you have(had) a great time in England, and HBD to Lennon!

[@diasanctum]

You can tell us how motherhood feels to YOU, and what you're struggling with as a MOM, without showing us HIS life, or HIS moments. I love seeing Lennon, of course, he's a beautiful child and such a part of you and Ben... but it's so much more important that he feels honored as he grows up, that he is kept safe, that you feel a release of pressure... those things are essential! Plus, this channel is not your family's diary, it's yours -- at best. We are all old enough and mature enough (I think) to understand that when we watch creators, we're watching a BRAND. That doesn't mean it's fake, or that it's all about money, ESPECIALLY for you -- it just means it's a polished, produced vista into someone's life. It's not the whole story and it isn't appropriate for it to be. Further, we are not your friends, but your longest running fans do CARE for you. That's a complicated duality, isn't it? We must at once understand two things: that you also care for us and honor us as fans, but that you're a HUMAN and you're not in our inner circle. We don't own any aspect of you, your life, this channel, or anything you produce. We get the choice to support it or leave. And I'll be supporting.

[@lindsayhallin]

It’s sweet of you to inform us about your new boundary. Happy for you no matter what decisions you make for your family. You know best!

[@xahra23]

I totally respect the boundary you're setting when it comes to showing Lennon online! And so much respect for you for making that decision. Love you so much, Jenn! Honestly you have taught me so much when it comes to self help and motherhood and so many other things

[@jnncb]

You’ve grown into a incredible Mother! So grateful to watch you since my teens. And Lennon is going to appreciate having moments solely his own with you. Way to go to Jenn and Ben.

[@EllesClorin]

As much as it makes me sad that we won't be able to see more Lennon (although for me, it's more like I love seeing your and Ben's interactions with him), you gotta do what's best for your family! Support you all the way!

[@soupafleye]

10:07 i definitely feel that looking back on your internal feelings and dialogue can be just as if not more exciting and palpable than a photo or even a video. knowing how you were feeling at the time and how that version of you internalized and recounted things is special! i really need to get back into journaling i haven’t done it in a long time

[@lenamiii]

Jenn, thanks for making me as a mother feel SEEN. I love the conscious decision you made, and I totally feel with you on the "growing into a mother" part. I was pregnant at the same time you were, so it was fun to follow along with your journey and my son just finished turning 2, too. I hope you guys are having tons of fun in England!

[@hicaylaji]

It’s so cool growing up with you, and watching you grow as a person and a mom. Thanks for letting us into a sliver of your life!

[@PengPeggy]

jenn please continue to do this, you will never know how much we need this. I'm in the process of loosing myself and finding back myself in motherhood, my girl sleep with me and it's hard to have a proper routine. and looking and yours just remind myself have a proper schedule (as a typical virgo myself) and be healthy, truly love & treat myself

[@xoxsiemee]

9:58 you’re spot on about this. my perspective has changed. thank you jenn for sharing!!

[@imcute3413]

jenn is so smart, that's why I love her. jenn you are an inspiration to many!

[@lzoid]

Dropping my comment here for the first time - you have shown consistency throughout the diff phases of your life, being as authentic as possible while creating content. I have so much respect for you as an influencer. Keep doing what you do, Jenn. I am learning lots (and taking notes!)

[@Tiny-Ambitions]

Self awareness at its height! I also wonder since children aren’t able to speak for themselves, how do we know if they consent (or will retroactively consent) to their footage being online? Also safety purposes! Even though Lennon is the CUTEST I think it’s the right choice :)

[@laurenashleemessina]

Hi Jenn, I sooooo look forward to your videos. They really are such relatable works of art. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about your family’s boundaries with sharing the life of your son. It feels so good to hear someone say these thoughts out loud, because I have felt similarly as to how people sometimes perceive mothers (specifically but not limited to) who decide not to share their child’s life online. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

[@bravocone]

Hi Jenn, I 100% understand and respect your decision. Don’t feel that you need to show every part of your life and Lennon’s. Cheers ❤

[@milikoshki]

Girl, Lennon is a lucky babe to have a mom like you! You're doing so good. Congrats to you on his second bday ❤️

[@carylannebeltran]

Always a joy having a new video from you, Jenn!!🤍🤍

[@CookieFridays]

I follow a variety of creators that range from hiding their kids faces to showing every detail about these kids, and I basically accept them all. I admire that you have come to this decision, Lennon is a real sweetie pie and it’s really a gift to allow him to have a normal upbringing without feelings any added pressure or influence from a camera being in his face. Although it’s all interesting content for us, but it’s your choice. I mean I don’t even post my own pictures to social media. Can’t believe Lennon turned 2! This is crazy, where is time going lol

[@emilyfishie]

yes protect your kid! & consider their boundaries! 👏👏👏

[@TheMsCroft]

I am always impressed by your editing. It always fits your personality and aesthetic but it’s a little different and new in every video. I enjoy it very much and because I’ve been watching your videos for many years I enjoy it even more !

[@cierraslowsdown]

I have mom friends who’ve opted out of showing their kids in any form or fashion to the public. You know, cutting them out of frame, emojis… But I loved the balance of your journey and experience, Jenn. Seeing your first experience through motherhood, and even (tasteful) shots of Lennon as he went from infant to toddler felt like JUST enough for your community. Also loved the sit down to explain that you’re transitioning into a new era of privacy for your son as well! It’s perfect; you’re doing a great job!

[@simplyellenxo95]

Love seeing you as always ❤

[@lao6823]

I appreciate so much your decision on respecting his privacy more and more. So he can have memories of his own, that no one else besides him or the ones closest to him know about.

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

I’ve missed your vlogsss! 🥹💓

[@xXheartszXx]

Although I'm a bit saddened that Lennon's cutie pie face won't be shown as much your channel, I do respect your decision. May he continue growing up happy and healthy ^^; Thank you for sharing your latest routine, Jen!

[@sunepapong1089]

Yes my therapist is back 😭❤

[@aznpridebuhhd]

I appreciate you having a conversation about beginning lennon’s limited exposure! I always wondered the consequences of growing up with a parent that creates content for a living.

[@maia-roll]

As always, loved watching your video Jenn! I can’t believe Lennon is 2 already!! I totally understand your decision to show him less and less. I’ve loved watching your journey into parenthood with Ben and seeing Lennon grow but I understand wanting to keep things more private. Always wishing you guys all the best!! ❤❤❤

[@winnies.1094]

needed your routine video to calm me down

[@kacymah93]

Happy birthday Lennon!! ❤

[@magicalmalu]

totally understand all of your decisions as a parent but would say its been so cute and fun seeing the small parts of lennon growing up and yours and bens lil fam that would love to still see him on occasions when that makes sense and feels comfortable for you all!

[@rickchanylong8101]

Do what best for you and your family Jenn. You are doing great. ❤❤❤❤

[@imjennim]

Thank you! ❤❤

[@rickchanylong8101]

I been following your channel for a while since I had my oldest who is already 11 years old. You such a humble and down to earth person. I know being an influencer isn't easy. Just to see your son grow up in your channel for a little bit is it enough. I know as a mom myself I want to protect my sons as well. ❤❤❤❤

[@dvxlia]

hey jenn! i don't comment often on your videos, but i wanted to let you know how much you inspire me. i'm only 18, so i'm not sure if i want to be a mother later, but if i do i truly wish to become as fantastic as a mom as you are :) i always revisit your channel when i'm struggling with my self-confidence, because you make me want to be a better person.. but i also just love watching you go about your day-to-day life because i aspire to have a routine as organized as yours someday haha please keep up the good work, you are a blessing to not only your family but your many viewers that find comfort and inspiration through your vlogs. (p.s we totally respect your decision to not show lennon on your channel, you have a right to your privacy and as viewers we should all respect that.) be safe and take care !

[@nininana972]

As a 30 year old woman reading your comment made me tear up because I resonate entirely with everything you said. You have the rest of your life to figure out what you want again and again. Trust your intuition and don’t let people influence you to doing something you don’t want ❤

[@dvxlia]

@@nininana972 aww :') this means so much thank you !!

[@rushanbahati7945]

Hi Jen! I hope you're having a wonderful September so far! You're amazing! Love you. 💛

Happy Birthday Lennon! 🎂🥳🥳🎈

[@c.alejandraramirez4556]

Jenn that is such a wonderful decision you and Ben have taken, to respect baby Lennon's identity as he is growing up. Totally understand where you are coming from. So much respect for that. Also hope you all have a wonderful time in England.

[@robyn8221]

Happy birthday, Lennon!! Have a great trip. I follow other creators who also limit their children in vlogs and it makes sense. ❤

[@elizabethlima-torres1721]

Hi Jenn, it's been lovely seeing you come into your own as a mother and as a person. While I'll definitely miss seeing Lennon in the vlogs, I applaud you for ultimately making the best decision for him and for your little family. 💖💖💖💖

[@hailiefeltz5340]

Yay! So glad to see you posted. I feel like its been too long.

[@c0smicgal]

Well said to everything ❤️

[@melonmochi]

even tho u dont owe anyone explanations abt anything i wanted to say u are a great mom! we can easily notice this by even the smallest things u do 💕 im sure Lenon will always know this too

[@AlexisBelon]

She really is such a good mom and I’m proud of her. Btw if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏

[@user-ig4pl4kv5j]

Thank you Jenn for clearing out the situation with Lenon! I think you are showing a great example of a conscious parenthood as I am also showcasing my child online on instagram and now thinking that the fact that he can feel like he is under watched can make him behave differently . Anyways thank you ❤

[@AyElif34]

The decision for Lennon is so great and exemplary! I wished that every KZbinr is so sensitive about the privacy and well being of their kids.

[@tamraya23]

I enjoy your content and as a mom I support your decision to protect and respect your child’s privacy 👍🏻

[@whitneylaurenjones]

The closet looks amazing, loved this video and the idea of making party bags is so cute ❤

[@lucyluroberts]

So aesthetically made, inspired me

[@fairybrandmuva]

I have loved watching your progression into womanhood and motherhood. I'm not a mother yet, but I have a niece that's like my daughter. She and I had to have the very real conversation earlier in her childhood about me posting her online, consent, her privacy and the price of being perceived at such a young age. I'm so glad you touched on this! Love all of your videos.

[@annasingankutti5832]

Jennnnn you have no idea what type of impact you had and keep having on my life. Your videos literally give my mental clarity and strength to go forward. I've learnt about habits, writing book reports, marriage & kids (even tho i'm not there yet) and I also used your referral link for betterhelp. Idk what is but i really look up to you in terms of manifesting my life. Brining peace, clarity and joy into it like you have and staying grounded. Prioritising what's important. What you said about your consistent therapy and reflection and how you feel so content at the moment, is sooo beautiful. And absolutely you got yourself here. I'm also on that journey and I feel so much better compared to 5 years ago. I still struggle sometimes, but your videos feel like therapy to me. which is so funny because this isn't some emotional, motivational talk type video but each video does have its little tid bit of wisdom and in general the way you are, think and do is what motivates me to be better too and to realize that everything is ok and that anything is possible.

[@Yumyumsyruphasfun]

thank you for limiting his presence!!! best decision, it is appreciated.

[@user-un8lg2io5p]

Also, journaling allows you to really capture a moment the way you mentally experienced it! It’s so much deeper and such a different way to teleport. Happy for you!

[@amorfati3559]

I’ll miss seeing Lennon but totally understand your decision! It was so amazing watching him grow up the last couple of years 🥹 this just means more cheeki content now 😁

[@sincerelyluna]

I can also relate to sharing the first year of sharing photos/clips of son online to friends and family. The internet is a scary place and you never know where those files will end up. As a parent, it’s so crucial that we need to protect their digital footprint at a young age. Not everything is meant to be shared as much as we love to show off our babies! ❤️

[@AlexisBelon]

The internet is so scary I can’t imagine being a mom and having to think shout that! Btw idk if you’re into nyc vlogs but if so, you might like mine. Swing by, take a peek and stick around if you like. I’d be sooo grateful. 🙏

[@alycasillas1316]

I respect your decision on Lennon so much. You’re doing the right thing!

[@la_petite_carotte]

Being a content creator is hard as you have to make important decisions about which aspects of your life you want to display. It takes a lot of vulnerability and I respect that. It makes sense that you want to keep your relationship with your son private (I believe Lennon has to have his safe space to fully explore himself and it can be weird for him to be on the "spotlight"). Nevertheless, it was very meaningful for me your videos about motherhood as it is a scary journey and it felt healing to perceive I was not the only one feeling anxious about it and to actually seeing you grow in your mother role was so inspiring. You are simply awesome and I will always feel grateful for making us feel part of a portion of your life❤ Thanks!

[@maffcia4121]

It's nice to see you again. 😍 Haven't watched some of your previous vlogs coz I've been busy lately.. i love your vids. keep doing you. 😊❤
