@@geekyjenowen3673 He's seen too much of Barb's DRAMA, both with Shawna & now with Jen, first the engagement & now the baby shower. He's finally had enough.
No short-term consequences. No doubt, all of these events are stacking up and 1 - solidifying what Jennifer has already started to realize and 2 - Convincing John to consider going no contact. As a bonus, it's showing Greg what's going on, which he will feel more comfortable addressing as he's integrated further into the family
I was so upset seeing Jennifer and Shawna go from pure excitement to total devastation. I had to take a moment to regroup. Great writing, acting, filming and everything in between!!
Yes, that was so horrible to watch. Barb is unbelievable. I'm surprised she didn't just throw herself her own private grandma's shower and be done with it.
Okay when the father told barb off!! That was the best! I'm so happy he still went to the play instead of letting her maniulate him to stay with her( I'm sure she tried)
Omg i need part 5 now! So good. First, Shawna IS the best family supporter! John has such a shinny spine. Love that, john is husband and brother goals. Greg is Greg, we love greg! Also, jennifer becoming a self-aware person is the best character evolution of all time!
@@cr3058 It's a way of celebrating when a people pleaser "grows a spine" aka starts standing up for themselves and the people around them. The phrase is a way to celebrate someone no longer fawning (giving in). A "shiny" spine usually refers to someone who has only recently started doing this, at least from what I've seen
I have a few immediate-family members that are Barbs. One of them raised me. Sometimes these are hard to watch bc they hit so close to home! But! Your videos have been a huge help for me in learning to navigate relationships with them and speak up for myself in a healthy way. Thank you for your videos Shawna!!
Me too! These videos help me understand a lot of things too. I really wish I had this channel while I was pregnant. It would have helped me set boundaries and have proper relationships. I'm making up for it now ❤.
I discovered this channel when I found out I was pregnant. Around the same time I started to finally put the pieces together that my mother was a narcissist, partly because of how she handled different events during the pregnancy. It’s been a weird and rough road to come to terms with everything but this channel has been great in helping me set up boundaries with my mom and me and my new baby to be, and how to break cycles so my kids don’t face the issues I faced as a kid ❤️
I wish you all the very best of luck strength and great companions on your way with your child. Nobody should have to endure this sort of parent and good on you for stepping up and out of where you acme from
Wow, go you. As a grandchild of a narcissist, I BEG you. Do not ever EVER leave your children alone with your mother in the room. It only takes seconds for a child of any age to be devastated forever by the narcissist’s treatment of either the child or others or what the narcissist says. Do not EVER accept that a child and grandparent should naturally have any relationship with each other whatsoever. A Narcissist is forever on sufferance their entire lives to make sure that they do no damage behind you or in front of you. Leave immediately with your kids if the least bad behavior from the narcissist happens, and validate to the kids that what grandma said was wrong, and that you are very angry with grandma for saying or doing that. Don’t invite them round your house to see the kids, you can’t throw them out without the kid seeing more traumatising fighting. Wherever possible only visit in public places or their house, even with very young children. Public places by preference. Put in place babysitting plans emergency or otherwise that do not involve grandparents. If you have to, take your baby/child to work or the hospital with you, I mean it. ANYWHERE but with your mother. They are not safe with her. Take a good look at your father. Mentally ill people either partner up, or make their partner mentally ill if they are not in treatment and the partner does not leave.
The extended cuts are a perfect vehicle to show how nuanced the acting, character development and storytelling are becoming. Better every time. This series is a slice of life!
When I watch these, I always wonder when you met my mom. Because Barb's actions are a dead ringer for my mother, so much so that I get PTSD flashbacks. Your acting is awesome!
I don’t get PTSD flashbacks, I feel even more blissfully happy that my egg donour has been out of my life for YEARS! I no longer have to deal with all that malarkey, it’s phenomenal! I do understand how it could trigger others though. Live your best life, that’s the only way to break the wretched chain 💚🙏
omg another compilation … THANK YOU!!! i love this series, im making peace with the fact that i have emotionally immature folks and this just feels so cathartic
This is so on point it's INSANE. My mum spent more time telling everyone at my baby shower how "special" her relationship was going to be with my baby, baring in mind she was already a grandmother to two other children. She told my mother in law that her relationship was going to be better than hers because "it's different when it's your daughter is having a baby" and said about how much she'll be there for me and the baby.. Come the birth of my son she demanded no images were sent out before she saw him (we of course DID NOT listen to this rule and shared pictures with my husbands family) she was meant to come at midday (I was a booked in C-section and had my baby at 10am) she didn't turn up till 3pm, like heck I was going to wait 3 hours to show everyone my son had been born! When she arrived she didn't help me at all and only stayed half an hour. Fast forward 6 months of neglect and rejecting my son (refusing to hold him etc) I decided, due to years of neglect to me, I was not to stand for it happening to my son, cut her out of my life and it was the BEST decision I ever made. My son is now almost 4. Cut the ties with toxic parents, it's worth it!!
My mother’s name is Barbara and this character and her are so alike it’s outstanding what you’ve created here. As a support to John’s idea for NC - I chose to do that about 2 years ago now and only wishing I had done so a very long time ago. Absolutely love these skits. You are incredible.
That was beyond satisfying!! I loved getting all the extra bits from the ends of the skits! "Don't worry...(suppressed panic)...I have macarons!" That may end up being my go-to phrase when I'm caught in something awkward. Probably made more accurate by my lack of real life macarons.
'I don't understand why you and Jennifer are suddenly so buddy buddy' She was 100% manipulating Jennifer's perception of shawna and the other way round, wasn't she. Because she knows its easier to manipulate and control if they don't like eachother. Because its easier to shift blame and skate by, if there is more animosity. She is such a narcissist, divide and conquer. Really well done with the acting, you made a great insufferable character, and made it very believable why all the other people would stick around
How did I go from skipping past this ladies short videos (I thought they just weren't for me, I'm 37 and never want to have kids), to ACTIVELY searching for the long videos of all the shorts put together so I can re-watch all in one place? 😆She's just so good at storytelling and acting!
I’m truly so in love with the relationship between Jennifer & Shawna🥹 they obviously didn’t get off on the right foot in the beginning… but the way Jenn has evolved has been SO heartwarming and I love them together now🥹🫶
I was just scrolling on your Instagram watching your videos when I noticed a comment saying you have a UA-cam and lo and behold there is a video posted 7 minutes ago!!! Woohoo!!
Shawna this is incredible!! I'm addicted to these longer compilations because it helps me recap on the storylines. This has been one of the best so far, I'm loving the character development (sadly not from Barb)
Yes! Or have John do it. “Okaaay…took care of the ice…just one more thing before I go….*snip* ✂️ ok, I’m out! Peace! Have fun, ladies!” “John-ah-than!” 😅
It's time they do something about Barb! 😠In real life I would go no contact from her in a heart beat! I can't believe her "friends", and family, have allowed her to be this way for so long! The best thing is how YOU can make all these characters so AMAZING, including Barb! Shawna, you are a wonderful creator and actress! I love ALL the characters, including Barb! 😁 Please keep making these wonderful videos! 🥰
Haaa john is SO done and its so obvious. The face he makes and the way his eyes glaze over when she notices Barb is cryin 😂 and that half assed "everything alright". You are seriously such a great writer and actress. You really nail those subtleties.
These skits are sheer brilliance! My adult stepchildren are still coming to terms with their narcissist mother, and these videos are such great validation for them. Thank you so much!!
I almost died when she said she was allergic to cucumbers. My ex-mom was also “allergic” to cucumbers and can’t be in the same room with them 😂😂😂😂. This character is so spot on I go between triggered and validated ❤❤❤
I love this story, Jennifer is my possibly my favourite! I got really into your skits more recently and I would love more compilations of the older shorts once you're done with Jen! (I'm tyring to properly catch up with the Shawna pregnancy stuff and everything.)
I am glad that Jen is getting less like her mother. Her remark about her being the mother and not wanting to put anything on the table or do any kind of work is so like her mother. She really does believe that the world revolves around. Oh and the meanness. But Greg, etc., has really evened that out and it's been great to see in the series. 😊
Every time Barb starts her "what about me/my feelings" I hear my mother. It's all so accurate. I can't remember how many years it's been since I instituted the letter-writing-only contact, but my family and I have been so much happier since then.
The thing about asking someone like Barb if they are ok, even if you mean it and you are genuinely worried, they'll still see it as if you're mocking them; because, that's what they do when they ask if you're ok; they're mocking you and gloating about their actions.
Wow, that really hurt my heart for poor Jennifer, but also, I loved the interactions between Shawna and Jen even more than before. And John is even more amazing.
I had a grandma who always prioritized my cousins over us because they came from her favorite kids and she didn’t like my mom. (Like copy and paste John, Shawna and Barb dynamic.)
Shawna just so you know as a person who has followed you on all the things, it was really awesome to see the compilation for the story after following it weekly. 🤗💞🤗💞 This was a fun birthday present for me!
Your videos make me feel so seen! Btw the in laws talking smack and just wanting to belong to family and your other videos that talk about not sleeping and it really effecting you. A genuine, heartfelt thank you. It makes dealing with it all a little more lighthearted. ❤❤❤
Your stuff is amazing and I try to internalize everything people say to Barb when she gets toxic. My mom isn't nearly as obviously bad, but the same lessons are so needed. Thank you for all of your work and acting and everything else. It's amazing.
Wouldn't do any good. Barb is like several of my narcissistic relatives, and narcs don't think there is anything wrong with them. You can't change, if you are perfectly happy with what you do now.
I had 2 "Barbs." My baby shower was AWFUL. I was extremely sick nonstop the whole pregnancy and gave a list of foods that went down easier.... My grandma and mother ignored that list and bought their fav foods. I couldnt eat anything and the whole room stunk like chicken salad which made me sicker. Then they both got mad and offended when I mentioned I couldnt eat (and at almost 8months pregnant that made me feel worse). My mother then went thru all the gifts and tried taking a lot for her house or made comments like "that needs to come with Grandma!" We have been no contact with that side for almost 10 years and it has been AMAZING. 🎉
I am so invested in this story. My notification on lol I'm enjoying it with my coffee ☕️ ❤ Thank you for updating us so soon . I can't wait for more! xxx
I love this series so much I've been coming to you account every single day. I've seen all these but I'm here to support your numbers! I wish you'd upload full versions of your own character Shawna's story too, the whole thing where MIL changed décor behind your back on your baby shower and you managed to save it comes to mind as the most entertaining part.
I never would have had the patience to put up with Barb if I were in Shawna's place. I'd have avoided her at all costs. I have no idea what I would have done had my mother been like this.
My mother and mother in law were like Barb. They wear you down, tear you down, and you get used it. But they set up the manipulation, that if you don't do what they want, you are an uncaring monster! One of the best days of my life, is when the doctor told me I have a blood disorder that compromises my immune system, and will kill me before my time. I can't be around people anymore! I can't be at their beck and call any more! A terminal illness was not as bad as having to cater to my narcissists. I'm not being hypberbolic, either. My MIL put her two sons through h3ll in the two years before she passed, and it would have been twice as bad for me.
My ☠sister☠ is worse than Barb; the covert malignant narcissist of my family. She is a twisted snake / puppet master who delights in others' misery, and literally traumatised me from age 6 up til we moved away... And now we have to move back so I can care for mum. 😬 (Said sister lives right nextdoor and won't even pop in to say hi and check mum hasn't fallen over again).
@@AussieBenita My apologies, I don't get notifications for comments anymore. Thank you for the kind words. Most of my most rabid narcissists are dead, so my life is not as contentious anymore. I don't have to feel guilty for backing out of arrangements, when one of the health problems flare up. Every day is a blessing, no matter how bad I feel. We do the best we can, with what we're given.
barb should’ve been cut off when she called shawna instead of her own two kids to try and get her to plan a “surprise” mother’s day brunch for herself and then told jen shawna was being insecure and not wanting to plan it because she’s a “fat mom” 😭 thankfully jen has grown since then but i wonder how barb will behave around mother’s day after she has the baby!!
I love you so much Shawna! As a mom I relate and appreciate you're dedication. Keep doing what you love! I'm excited for what comes next! Btw, I'm also working on being a whole person.
If there are awards for UA-cam, Shawna should get one. Each character is 100% believable. I’m sitting here thinking “ what the heck is Wrong with Barb??” And “ oh, poor Jennifer” . I want to hug her.
I came across your account as I became a mother and I can relate to so many experiences of Shawna the mom and Jennifer the mom-to-be. It is extremely interesting how mesmerizing your performances are. And coincidentally, my John is also a Greg :D
Does anybody else forget that this is all the same person? 😂
ME LOL 😂😂
Oh my good, I mean she just does a great job with different body language and accents
She is so good at skits that I forget too
Literally she's so good at disappearing into characters I love it 🎉🎉
Oh my goodness me too! I'm so invested!

Saaaame. Upon conclusion I realized I was holding my breath

No short-term consequences. No doubt, all of these events are stacking up and 1 - solidifying what Jennifer has already started to realize and 2 - Convincing John to consider going no contact.
As a bonus, it's showing Greg what's going on, which he will feel more comfortable addressing as he's integrated further into the family
So far she has faced no consequences for anything. Well except ruining the proposal.

I had 2 "Barbs." My baby shower was AWFUL. I was extremely sick nonstop the whole pregnancy and gave a list of foods that went down easier.... My grandma and mother ignored that list and bought their fav foods. I couldnt eat anything and the whole room stunk like chicken salad which made me sicker. Then they both got mad and offended when I mentioned I couldnt eat (and at almost 8months pregnant that made me feel worse). My mother then went thru all the gifts and tried taking a lot for her house or made comments like "that needs to come with Grandma!" We have been no contact with that side for almost 10 years and it has been AMAZING. 🎉
LOVE your skits. Very well done.
I am so invested in this story. My notification on lol I'm enjoying it with my coffee ☕️ ❤ Thank you for updating us so soon . I can't wait for more! xxx
I love this series so much I've been coming to you account every single day. I've seen all these but I'm here to support your numbers!
I wish you'd upload full versions of your own character Shawna's story too, the whole thing where MIL changed décor behind your back on your baby shower and you managed to save it comes to mind as the most entertaining part.
I never would have had the patience to put up with Barb if I were in Shawna's place. I'd have avoided her at all costs. I have no idea what I would have done had my mother been like this.
My mother and mother in law were like Barb. They wear you down, tear you down, and you get used it. But they set up the manipulation, that if you don't do what they want, you are an uncaring monster!
One of the best days of my life, is when the doctor told me I have a blood disorder that compromises my immune system, and will kill me before my time. I can't be around people anymore! I can't be at their beck and call any more! A terminal illness was not as bad as having to cater to my narcissists. I'm not being hypberbolic, either. My MIL put her two sons through h3ll in the two years before she passed, and it would have been twice as bad for me.
My ☠sister☠ is worse than Barb; the covert malignant narcissist of my family. She is a twisted snake / puppet master who delights in others' misery, and literally traumatised me from age 6 up til we moved away... And now we have to move back so I can care for mum. 😬
(Said sister lives right nextdoor and won't even pop in to say hi and check mum hasn't fallen over again).
@@Objective-Observer Sending safe hugs if ok. Be gentle to you sweets🌷
@@AussieBenita My apologies, I don't get notifications for comments anymore. Thank you for the kind words. Most of my most rabid narcissists are dead, so my life is not as contentious anymore. I don't have to feel guilty for backing out of arrangements, when one of the health problems flare up. Every day is a blessing, no matter how bad I feel. We do the best we can, with what we're given.
barb should’ve been cut off when she called shawna instead of her own two kids to try and get her to plan a “surprise” mother’s day brunch for herself and then told jen shawna was being insecure and not wanting to plan it because she’s a “fat mom” 😭
thankfully jen has grown since then but i wonder how barb will behave around mother’s day after she has the baby!!
Thank you for stringing these together into one video! This is a great story!
love this, the extended cuts are so great!
I love you so much Shawna! As a mom I relate and appreciate you're dedication. Keep doing what you love! I'm excited for what comes next! Btw, I'm also working on being a whole person.
just so on point, I forgot it was only one person doing every caractor!! wow!
Oh my gosh I could scream! Just got the notification for this video and I’ve got 15 minutes before my next meeting, guess how I’ll be spending it 🤩🤩
Don’t “doink doink doink” absolutely sends me EVERY time😭😭
"Don't worry, I have macaroons. " Beautiful 😂
I don't have kids nor do I have family like this but GOOD GOD I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! ❤❤❤❤😂
Dude I need this tv show lol. I'm so invested and I need more!
If there are awards for UA-cam, Shawna should get one. Each character is 100% believable.
I’m sitting here thinking “ what the heck is Wrong with Barb??” And “ oh, poor Jennifer” . I want to hug her.
"Don't worry, I have macarons" might be the greatest line of all time. 😂
Your skits are so gooood!!!! I love the characters you’ve created! I bow down to your passion, creativity and level of commitment!
This needs to be added to the playlist frrr
I may have been saying, "Kick her out!!!!" and Barbara throughout this video.
Needless to say, you are talented!
There was sooooo glad Barb’s favorite child stood up to her.
I’m so glad you posted the full “series❤❤ I love these videos
So fab to see all of these together! Thank you!
I came across your account as I became a mother and I can relate to so many experiences of Shawna the mom and Jennifer the mom-to-be. It is extremely interesting how mesmerizing your performances are. And coincidentally, my John is also a Greg :D
omg thank you! looking forward to watching this rn ✌️
