megathread: the short-lived summer wishlist
To get ahead of multiple wishlist related posts, we are creating a megathread about the recent wishlist debacle.
To recap:
Steph posted an Amazon wishlist to Facebook with all stuff for the children. https://www.reddit.com/r/resilientjenkinsnark/s/ibIygDWcjT
The mods posted a warning to everyone yesterday, discouraging them from making any purchases, since even if it is well-meaning, there is no way to ensure the kids actually receive any of the items. https://www.reddit.com/r/resilientjenkinsnark/s/cU98TH5S3D
Then (also yesterday) the Amazon link mysteriously stopped working, unclear as to why- she could have just privated it due to backlash.
Prior to it being taken down, it looked like people had already purchased things, so hopefully those items do end up being given to the children.

Neglect during school year
Ik it’s been said on here before, but I can’t wrap my head around WHY Steph only does the girls hair/nails/ grifts for new clothes in the summertime. She lets the girls go to school in rags, with filthy tangled hair, but as soon as school is over she decides to care? It’s so odd. I always wonder if her daughters wonder/realize their mom only cares when it’s summertime..

The wishlist
Why is she telling the kids “people want to bless them”. So they get their hopes up for gifts that might not come?
Little A is old enough to have his own interest. Even if he isn’t speaking in full sentences- surely they have a way to communicate with them? Even just letting him point stuff out for himself?
The little A neglect is starting to really to bother me. I wish he was able to go to school so teachers could get him the help he needs :(

S replies on YT short of clothing haul
This is the video she posted showing off the new clothes for the kids that she bought them after saving money on laundry. This video was posted before the wishlist video. On YT, she has it set to where only subscribers can comment, so most of the comments on this video are supportive.

Alt replies on tt wishlist video
Looks like real Troy got wifi access just to comment "you first," and I saw about three different fake Carly accounts. The original Carly is bookcarly789.
The main alt commenting is Grace Nicole, and grace doesn't seem to like thrift stores.

Top comment on her tiktok
I’ve been hooked on stephanie’s bs since discovering her, and I think it’s because it feels like I’m watching her kids live my own childhood. I can’t put into words how demeaning it is to see her downplay/validate the trauma she causes them, as I actively struggle with the same trauma as an adult.
I suffered years of foster care as a result of the homelessness, was split from my siblings, missed so much school, and truly didn’t believe I would survive. every day in the motels felt agonizing, isolating and dehumanizing in my crucial developmental years. to hear stephanie describe the kids’ experiences as “lessons that NEEDED to be learned” infuriated me so deeply. because how DARE you twist life-altering neglect into a lesson. it felt like a punch in the face.
having the top comment on the video likely means that she had to have read it, and I hope to god that it made her regret everything for at least a second. I want her to see the words of an adult who survived the same neglect she’s forcing her kids to endure.
I’m thankfully safe now- successful, healthy, 100% sober for my entire life. but the trauma is real, and it doesn’t deserve to be downplayed.

public service announcement about the wishlist
to anyone feeling sorry for the children, and considering purchasing off the Amazon wishlist, please be aware of the following information:
- If someone receives a gift purchased from Amazon, they may return that item to Amazon for Amazon credit. The gifter is not notified.
- Nothing is stopping anyone that receives a gift on Amazon from selling that item on, say, Facebook marketplace or anywhere else, for cash.
- Stephanie has a horrible track record with purchased items. See: the bunk beds that got broken, all the previous Amazon wishlist items that ended up crammed into the storage unit, the stroller that was “stolen” (sold), etc.
- She doesn’t have a ton of room for extra things… not sure where she’s planning to put any of this, unless it’s all just getting returned or sold.
Please be cautious. The urge to help the children is valid, but it may just end up lining the pockets (or nostrils) of Steph and Drew anyway.
EDIT TO ADD: it appears that the wish list has been taken down, at least for now, but I’m sure another one will come eventually.

TT 7/3 Amazon wishlist
The text on the screen where I had to blur out the kids said "the kids scrolling the zon" and the overlaid audio for that portion is from her talking to the kids scrolling on her phone in the video.

Person DMing D about buying the kids clothes
I found this on June 28th in S's FB comments. The person leaving the comment claimed they reached out to D, and he responded. The creator claimed they used "Hey Love" and the fact that they are a woman to make S mad. I re-did the blocking out in blue to be easier to see who's replying. The person in white is who messaged D.

Stay safe this weekend!
Good evening, everyone. As the 4th of July approaches, I hope everyone stays safe & cool...it's HOT out!
Let's keep "our" fingers, kids, veterans & pets safe. I have the "special cheese" ready for my rescue dog who has 1 eye. I think her hearing may be more sensitive due to her missing eye.
Stay hydrated, have fun & be safe!
Much love 💖

Theory on her children’s hair
I read a comment on the previous post stating that the reason Stephanie doesn’t want help with her mixed children’s hair is because she has to admit defeat to black women.
I want to develop on that a little further, Stephanie has always been expressive about her fetishes, “king daddy’s beastly genes” “his superior genes” “I never knew being pregnant with an African kid was this hard” “my African kids eat so much” you get the gist.
I do think a small portion of her is jealous of black women, remember that AI post she made of her in African tribal wear saying she felt more “African”. She fetishes the culture and the men but she cannot handle the women because they expose who she will never be, it’s quite common in a lot of racist white women, they like the men because they aren’t their “competitors” the women are.
So now when you have women like Des and Arlita, who aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but we cannot deny they objectively do better jobs at parenting, Stephanie cannot handle that, she cannot possibly handle the fact that her “competitors” are doing better than her, which is why she burnt those bridges.
I don’t doubt that Arlita or Des could’ve helped her with her children’s hair, they could’ve taught her for free, educated her for free but that requires one thing Stephanie doesn’t have: humility.
The humility to admit she doesn’t know anything, she tries so hard to be the “white mum who knows how to cook” which is why she butchers her children’s food with powders of seasonings knowing it doesn’t taste right but she’s got a point to prove.
If she accepts help from anyone, especially her “competitors” it’s an ego bruise, a reality check that “hey maybe I actually don’t know what I’m doing” so instead of being humble and accepting the requests she’s received from other black women to do little A’s hair, she would rather just let him suffer than admit defeat.
