real life gilmore girls q&a!!!

[@haleymancil1044]

IMO, spoiling a child isn’t an issue as long as they’re taught the value of what they’re given, the work that went behind it, and how to be grateful for what they can have.

You have such a perfect way of talking about teen pregnancy in that you don’t BS how incredibly difficult it was/is, but also that it’s a reality that does happen, and it’s absolutely doable and doesn’t have to be the end of the world if it does. I totally understand what you mean by wishing your children got a more mature version of you. I became a mom at 19 and again at 22, and I still felt like a kid myself and it was really hard. Now that I’m 34 and have teenagers, I sometimes wish I was the mom I am now their entire childhood. But we do the best we can and we love the hardest we can, and that’s all our kids really need at the end of the day. ♥️

the way y’all are so open and transparent literally makes me feel like i’m a part of y’all’s family. my mom had me when she was young and it’s always just been her and i, even to this day because i’m an only child. growing up i didn’t have the best relationship with her and i was so closed off and reserved because of how she raised me. now that i’m almost 30, our relationship is so much better. thank y’all for being so open and showing what an amazing mother/daughter relationship should and can be 🫶🏼

[@Walrus.Cookiezzz]

I remember when Annica first said she didn’t want to have her own channel and that she would never be able to be funny or entertaining on her own! I love how she has gained confidence and grown as a young woman, she is able to establish herself and I admire you for that Annica! 💝✨

Honestly i know i’m late i’ve REWATCHED this several times and i just HAD to say the whole spoiling thing should NEVER be an issue, like our parents literally go beyond and above and put themselves last to give US a better life, that’s just simply being an EXCELLENT mom NOT SPOILED.

You brighten my day always with your stories, and your cute accent! Mom guilt is real and unavoidable not matter what! I feel every mom wants a do over, not just a teen mom. But then you look at your results, a fine human you have raised and you think maybe you don't really need a do over. They are perfect, even though the process may not have been perfect!

It’s so refreshing to see such a female forward family and channel. As women I think we are often disempowered in terms of relationships or creating the lives we want. I know I’ve definitely gotten the message that I need to be married to have the life I want but you show me that’s not true! I love seeing an independent woman who has done everything to make a good life for herself and who embraces exactly who she is. You’re so inspirational! 💜💜

[@lawlbbz5]

This is my new favourite video of yours! As always, love your openness and the bond you have! On the last question, as someone who has parents who had children much older there is a disconnect in understanding- it’s like when you see all these old politicians making decisions about your life that won’t affect them down the line but will for you, it can be so hard. And snappiness happens when you have a child regardless cause that shit is hard work! Nothing against my parents but you have done an amazing job of being yourself and being a parent to Annica whereas that didn’t come til much later for me and my parents and I still don’t know about their early life. Also you guys look GORGEOUS in this vid! The fits are A+

[@christineschmidutz5057]

The maturity & emotional intelligence of teen & young mom Jennica. At an age when it was all about you, you were able to set that aside & have it be all about Annica. Thinking about protecting her from your sadness & co parenting, I'm impressed that at such a young age you pulled that off

Jennica, I totally agree about how expensive therapy can be. I'd encourage you and anyone else reading this to look into free or sliding scale services that may be available in your town, it may be public through the city/county or through a non-profit. Lots of towns are lacking in adequate mental healthcare but some people may be surprised what services are available! Start with Google and calling or emailing around and see what you can find. ❤️
