OAK ISLAND, CALIFORNIA: 'Teen Mom' star Jenelle Evans faced backlash from the internet after she blamed her children for breaking the lawnmower. In a video shared with fans, she showed herself trying to fix the lawnmower by watching tutorials. However, when her attempts failed, she blamed her children for destroying the machine while they were playing. Many on the internet criticized her for always blaming her children for her own mistakes, expressing frustration with her behavior.

Talking about this, fans took to Reddit to share their views. "She’s such a dumba**. How did this become the children’s fault why are they playing with machinery when she isn’t looking? She can’t help but talk herself into a ditch, she should just stay there," said a user. "I was mildly horrified when she blamed the kids for her broken mower. Ftr I have one Ensley’s age and am admittedly a helicopter mom but jfc I couldn’t handle the thought of her playing on heavy machinery with blades and a big ass motor! I’m stressed at the scenario," said another. 

"Oh ya don’t know how to do something….or something isn’t working…kids fault!," added one user. Others defended the kids saying how it wasn't practically possible for the kids to handle a huge law mower in the first place, to destroy it. "I mean, just playing around with blades like that fucks my head up. Like kid is like “oh! A ladybug crawling underneath… lemme reach my hand down under this beast… something innocently surprising happens… arm suddenly raises up and gets cut by idle blade(!!!) BLOOD!!! ER!!! Stitches/tendon sliced/trauma! I know I’m fucked in the head with all these fictitious scenarios but I can’t fckn help those thoughts."

"And the poor kids were probably just trying to help, I'd say she had a big meltdown over it and was "ABOUT TO FREAK OUT DUUUUDE" added one. "She blames her kids for everything. It’s disgusting," added another. 

Why did Jenelle Evans leave David Eason?

Jenelle Evans has officially filed for separation from David Eason, marking the end of their tumultuous relationship. Citing David's erratic behavior and substance abuse problems, Jenelle has decided to make the split permanent. She alleges that David's hostile attitude, financial strain, and refusal to work have had a detrimental impact on their children and her career, ultimately tarnishing her reputation.

Evans has accused David Eason, 35, of displaying troubling and sometimes disturbing behavior towards her during their marriage. In a TikTok video posted on Wednesday, she responded to a fan's question about why she hadn't filed for divorce from Eason. Jenelle explained that in North Carolina, where they reside, couples must first undergo a legal separation for a year and provide evidence of having two separate addresses before they can proceed with a divorce. This legal requirement prevented her from immediately filing for divorce from Eason.

What happened to Jenelle Evans' son Jace after his runaway?

Jace was found in August after attempting to run away from home again. Jenelle shared that as a mom of boys, it's not uncommon for kids to act out and rebel, which Jace did after getting in trouble at school and having his phone taken away. Despite the ordeal, Jenelle emphasized that Jace is a good kid, and their family is dealing with the challenges that many families face while raising children.

"As a boy mom, kids can act up and rebel as I'm sure the majority of us all once did as kids too," Jenelle said in a statement provided by August. "Jace got in trouble at school, we decided to take his phone away and that's when he decided to run off. Jace is a good kid, and we're not dealing with anything that most families don't deal with while raising children," Jenelle shared after Jace was found.
