Jenelle is trying to convince her mom Barbara to adopt Jace, 2, so that she doesn’t have to be a mother anymore, reveals an insider.
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has already signed over temporary custody of her 2-year-old son Jace to her mom Barbara Evans — but that’s not enough. An insider claims that Jenelle wants Barbara to adopt Jace so that she won’t have any responsibilities to him anymore.
“She has told friends that she knows it means giving Jace up forever, but she genuinely thinks she’s doing the right thing,” the insider tells Reality Weekly.
Jenelle doesn’t want to pay child support to her mom anymore because she would rather use the money to party. “Jenelle would rather spend her time and money on herself than her son, which is why she wants her mom to officially adopt him,” explains the insider. “It’s really sad how selfish she is; her priorities are completely out of whack.”
“Jenelle always chooses partying over spending time with Jace,” says the insider. “She resents staying at her mother’s with the baby when she could be out partying.”
Jenelle often blows off her scheduled visits with Jace so that she can go out. “A couple of weeks ago she was supposed to look after Jace so that her mom could have a break, but she canceled because she was too partied out,” shares the insider. “She was partying until the early morning. The next day when it came time for her to see her son, she slept in instead.”
Because of these stunts, Jenelle and Barbara get into nasty arguments. “Her relationship with her mother is still terrible,” notes another source. “She still brags about partying every day and has practically no relationship with her son.”
So Barbara is trying to protect baby Jace. “Barbara has done everything she can to make her daughter take responsibility, but it hasn’t worked,” says the insider. “Her mom just wants what’s best for Jace. She can see that Jenelle is not in a place to be a mother. Ultimately, Jenelle’s mom loves Jace enough to step up and adopt him.”

Janelle was never a mother to Jace.. I think her mom should adopt Jace and kick Janelle out of the house for good.. Her mother is just inableing her.. Shes doing Janelle more harm then good.. I think Janelle is kinda slow I feel so sad for her son.. I think they need to tie her tubes and never let her be able to have any more children in her life time.Shes way to immature I hate girls that have kids and have their parents raise them

I have watched this show since it began I sometimes feel as I know these girls personally. But when it comes to poor baby Jace I am so glad he has Barbara because jenelle mist certainly has not been there fir that baby. If anything she has done more damage than good. If I Washington Barbara I would adopt Jace and throw that sorry daughter of hers out in the streets. Neither Jace or Barbara deserve what they have gone through.

Well the insider most likely lies, all those magzzz lie just so they can say something… Jenelle just needs to wake up! I bet she could be a good mother if she wanted to! She is just making some mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, what we learn from them is the important part. I just hope she doesn’t take to long! Bc u and everyone else in this world is not promised tomorrow! WAKE UP JENELLE! Ur not goin to like it… if when u finally do wake up, and u want to b a mom, and Jace doesn’t want to even talk to u!

WHAT RESPONSIBILITIES DOES THE DIZZY HAVE FOR JACE NOW???!!! THAT’S actually funny…that statement! UNREAL, IT IS!!! You cant help to feel bad for Barbara. How sad to have a daughter that SCREAMS & BI-POLARS OUT @her just because she only wants to do the right thing & pick up after that physical WRECK, Janelle. Tye other teen mothers are working, getting GED’s, finished highschool & are going to college…not worrying about sum dirtbag…i.e. any KIEFFERS! Wtf kind of name is that anyways?! Ya can tell he’s a rum-dumb just from his name!

Jenelle is just a terrible mother, I’m so saden to hear that she wants nothing to do with her amazing son. I hope he returns the same respect to her later in life as she has given your him. Shame on her.

Janelle and Leah should open up a whorehouse and put their skanky skills to use. They could shoot up and party all day and just lay on their back. It is the perfect job for both of those slut bags.

She honestly should give jace to her mom cuz at least barbra is there with him..if jenelle had him god only knows where hd would be taken…..poor kid I’ve been a mother since I was fifteen and I have always been with my kids and I graduated college and I’ve got a wonderful job so if one person can do it then so can the next….she just doesn’t want to ..she is a sad excuse of a mother

I’m glad u did the right thing & u should be very proud of yourself :-) You are entirely correct what u said about Janelle! …she DOESNT want to, and i think she should be locked in a house & FORCED to take care of her own mess for a life she’s created. She’s so irresponsible & gives these sob stories, “i’m so bored & so lonely & smoked weed for 6 yrs of my life & cant even smoke anymore!” Did u see that doctor in the final episode? She couldnt even keep a straight face! She’s such a physical mess & actualy makes me sick. I feel SO BAD for her mom!

Where the hell is the kids’ biological dad? I remember seeing him on her 16&Pregnant episode and after that he was gone. I remember she said he’s supposedly modeling in China -__- Doubt it.

I am glad to hear it! She is a horrible mother and Jace is better off without her in his life.

Jenelle is a bad mother and a selfish one I think Barbra should have custody of Jace! Jenelle should look at chelsea, Leah and Kailyn for some parenting advice but instead she would rather party! That’s terrible! She needs to stop smoking weed and mariwana and go get better in rehab and take FULL responsiblity for Jace! He needs his real mother not his grandmother!

Additionally, Jace is the one who is going to need HUGE amounts of therapy after being “raised” by these two screaming nutjobs.

right…..i seriously don’t understand why no one has stepped up to say how unhealthy of a household it must be. i’m guessing she raised jennelle that way and soon as jace gets older, she will be screeching at him too.

Jenelle has been getting better after rehab so this is all a lie
JJ

LMAO!! You call being thrown in jail multiple times *after* rehab…”getting better”? Wake up, honey. Furthermore, Jenelle went to “rehab” for all of 30 days, you really think she was able to “get her life back on track” after such a short period of time? NORMAL people with REAL problems (such as little Ms. White Trash) go into treatment for a minimum of 90 days. That is…people who can admit they have problems, rather than those who hide in rehab to get away from cameras catching their bad behavior – see: Lindsay Lohan, if you need clarification on what that means.

Hmmmm… I call BS on this piece of info. I’m thinking the girl she lived with and also had a huge fight with is probably responsible for this slander. I applaud Jennelle for ending things with *the loser* and went to rehab. Good job girl, keep it up.

I don’t Call BS on the insider, I think someone did come up with this slander, more specifically i think it was Hannah. I don’t see Jenelle EVER letting Barbra adopt Jace fully. Jenelle has turned a complete 180 with her life. And i can see her getting full custody very soon if she tried.

As someone who has followed her life on facebook and twitter etc… NO, this rings entirely untrue. Since she’s in college to be able to get her son back as soon as she can. Yeah, crazy thing, right?

this is a public site, and this is a site for opinions, honestly im not trying to start anything but if she didn’t want people to voice opinions or know what goes on in her personal life then she shouldn’t of been on the show. Jenelle is childish and immature and needs to grow up and realize that she is a parent and that her is first responsibility. We as viewers as are allowed to have our personal opinions. This is a free country.
