What to Know
For some longtime fans and followers of the Teen Mom franchise, Jenelle Evans has a lot to learn before anyone is going to give her the benefit of the doubt about, well, anything. So when she posted a TikTok about her youngest son Kaiser Griffith making and playing with toy weapons, people had a lot to say.
The point of Jenelle’s post was to seemingly show how her son entertains himself and leans into his creativity without screens. But, according to other TikTok users, the nature of Kaiser’s apparent playtime is just a wee bit concerning. Sure, it could be worse, but that was the point of some of the people who commented on Jenelle’s video to point out alleged warning signs in front of her face.
Jenelle Evans’ son made weapons out of cardboard.
Jenelle says in her TikTok that “being a girl mom is so much different than being a boy mom.” Her evidence, it seems, is what her son Kaiser decided to use a ton of cardboard for. She explains that he requested a hot glue gun for him and, while Jenelle wasn’t wild about the idea of picking one up for her 12-year-old, she did.
She shows what Kaiser used the cardboard and hot glue gun for in her video. He created a combat vest, multiple cardboard weapons, including an automatic rifle, and even a fake knife to go along with the set. Jenelle wrote on the screen that Kaiser plays the video game Call of Duty, so he knows what he’s talking about.
At face value, it’s evidence of a ton of creativity that the preteen already has. He also seems excited and proud of his work. But those who already aren’t fans of Jenelle were quick to share their judgments in the comments under the TikTok and point out the concern they think Jenelle should have.
People shared their concern over the former ‘Teen Mom’ star’s son’s actions.
In the comments under Jenelle’s TikTok, users immediately voiced concerns about the nature of Kaiser’s cardboard “toys.” Some wrote that the fake weapons are “concerning,” while others pointed out the potential “red flags” present that they think Jenelle is failing to see.
“Idk if I should be impressed or concerned,” one TikTok user commented.
Someone else wrote, “My son will be 13 years old in December and the only reason he even knows g-ns exist is bc he does drills at school. This is actually very concerning, and an interesting look into what goes on at home.”
Another advised Jenelle, “Find sports and activities your kids can get involved with especially being home schooled.”
“Is this future evidence?” A user also joked.
She was also criticized for starting homeschool with two of her kids.
For some Jenelle haters, she really can’t do anything right, it seems. When she announced that she would take her youngest two children out of school and begin a homeschool program, people essentially lost it. She wrote on Instagram, “My kids were born on TV and even though we haven’t filmed in years people still recognize all of us in public, this includes all schools they attend.”
For her, it was all about protecting her kids. But, on Reddit, where no one is safe from the snarkers, Jenelle’s haters came for her big time.
“Too recognizable from TV? A TV show they’ve not been on since 2019?” One Redditor questioned. “Gee, I wonder how all the other Teen Mom kids managed.”
Another wrote, “‘I have ruined public life for my children so now I must also ruin their education’ is the most Jenelle statement to ever Jenelle dude.”
From cardboard weapons to homeschooling, it seems that Jenelle takes the ‘L’ every time.
