Anyone catch the comments on Jeremy's latest post about wanting to someday own a farm? Looks like Matt isn't planning to just hand the reins over to anyone, but I have to wonder, what is the plan then?

She did pretty much say this, though, during a FB Live video not too long ago. To quote: "...I think the other thing is, when you know you have issues and you know you have problems, whether it be on your side or another side, when you start looking before you're separated, that is hard. When you become involved and much more than just a friend, that you become maybe more in a relationship that's more than just saying, "Hey friend, let's go out for coffee," I think that can be hard on the other person as well, and I think that's what happened in my case. You know, we have someone that worked for us for a very long time, on our farm, and I believe (this is all from my perspective), that there was more than just friends going on and I think that evolved to a point where that got in the way of our marriage as well." (Begins about 9 minutes in)

Ahh, I see. I didn't realize this was a common thing (wonder if it's regional). I have 2 elementary-aged children and lots of friends with kids, and have just never heard anyone refer to their parents/grandparents by a first name. There are a ton of Gigi/Nana/Grammy nicknames, though, so maybe that's why.

In one of Jeremy’s stories today, he showed Amy sitting on the ground playing with Ember. As he walked up to them, he asked Ember if she was playing with “Grandma Amy.” What’s up with that? Is it normal to refer to your kid’s actual, biological grandmother (not to mention your own parent) by name? Why not just Grandma? God, I hope they don’t call Caryn “Grandma Caryn.” Ugh.

Her Live was saved on FB. She starts talking about it around the 9 minute mark, I think. "...I think the other thing is, when you know you have issues and you know you have problems, whether it be on your side or another side, when you start looking before you're separated, that is hard. When you become involved and much more than just a friend, that you become maybe more in a relationship that's more than just saying, "Hey friend, let's go out for coffee," I think that can be hard on the other person as well, and I think that's what happened in my case. You know, we have someone that worked for us for a very long time, on our farm, and I believe (this is all from my perspective), that there was more than just friends going on and I think that evolved to a point where that got in the way of our marriage as well." She then goes on to explain past TV scenes where she maybe appeared to be taking things out on Matt, and said that it's not because she didn't want him to have a new relationship, but was more upset at how it began and developed, and says that because of that, the show had her come across as being angry and bitter, and says she admits that it was very hard, and was and remains a process to get over.

I watched about 3 minutes of her Live the other day, and just happened to catch the part where she confirmed Matt and Caryn had something going on before the divorce. I thought that was the first "from the horses mouth" reveal of that info, but no one is talking about it anywhere, so maybe not. Either way, there's something kind of hilarious to me about her announcing her book via a live about divorce on the eve of her kid's smarmy book about how to stayed married forever. Lots of angry comments I saw from Jer/Auj stans regarding it, yet few that pointed out that THEIR book release was timed to coincide with new season premiere of the show they left. Seems more likely to me that Amy's book news was intentionally scheduled to coincide with that, and the Wonder Pair are the ones who actually glommed on to that date in order to push their own book sales. 🤷‍♀️

It's literally $20 on Amazon.

I've been following along for a while, but something has been really annoying me lately, and I just need to get it off my chest. Those sherpas they're selling!? I can't help but wonder how the people in that Michigan (or wherever) store where they got the idea from feel. Am I the only who remembers that after they all went on vacation to visit Amy's family, she posted about some sherpa sweater that Izzy had purchased from some souvenir store along the way? Audrey apparently loved it so much, she called the store and had them ship her one, which she then made into her "where to find" IG stories, linking to the store IG account. Shortly after that, that store's IG account posted a thank you to the fans, and noted that they were sold out, but planning to order more. Except, that was the last mention ever made about that store on Audrey's IG, because instead, she sourced the vending company the sherpa was from and ordered them to have her stupid "Always More" logo tag sewn onto. Basically, she received a product she liked, her fans expressed an interest, and instead of just allowing the original company to enjoy the surge in business her sharing their product brought, she co-opted it and turned it around like its their "brand's" greatest addition ever. (Anyone see the "sherpa launch celebration date" story last night?) What a narcissistic bunch of turds.
