Zach and Tori

[Dibs]

She's probably doing it because she's bored.  I honestly don't think they're hurting for money.

So bored that she just posted a TikTok of herself lip-synching and dancing in her kitchen.

Tori, put the phone down and grab those tools in your back pocket!

I'm not sure I would agree that anyone would become a substitute teacher as a remedy for "boredom"???  With 3 young kids (youngest a toddler) there are many other "pass times" that would more likely fill the bill rather than dealing with ornery youngsters for several days in a row as a sub teacher...however, she may have thought her being in the classroom might have enhanced Jackson's status with his peers and that she and Jackson would probably have had a chance to eat lunch together, so there's that...

On the $$$ issue, my thought is that the CONSTANT shilling Tori does for the various products she reps online+the pressure she's always under to produce new and fresh CONTENT for her numerous social media sites would not be necessary unless she could use the cash.  Also, her pushing her photography business...AGAIN, in this economy their overhead, with prices being as they are, must be quite high and she may feel the need to keep the cash coming in so she can contribute as much as possible to maintaining their lifestyle.  Kids are EXPENSIVE!

Maybe you don't know any young SAH (or even working) mothers who can't stop compulsively posting themselves or their kids all day and night, but I unfortunately do.  They don't "shill products," but one actually coaches and changes her kids into new outfits throughout the day for the different videos.  I'm sure more cash is always welcome (those stays at Disney don't come cheap), but I question if that's the main motivation.  But agree to disagree.

Never underestimate the power of dopamine hits! Especially for people who already crave attention.

Does Jackson go to public or private school?  I tend to think he goes to a private church connected school where they would know that Tori was at least at one time a credentialed teacher and she may have been asked to step in.

Yes, he goes to a church connected school and your comment seems very plausible.  It may be difficult to recruit substitute teachers and Tori may have been accommodating them in filling in for an indisposed regular teacher.

You're absolutely right.  I don't know any women who fit into that category.
