I Am Jazz Celeb Struggles to Let Daughter Go

Jazz Jennings prepares for her first date in over four years. She is nervous about meeting her date in person. However, she is trying to be optimistic about it. She looks at Jeanette Jennings and says she hopes there won’t be anyone tracking her on her phone. Her mother replies, “I can’t hear you.”

Jeanette even asks her son, Sander Jennings, to go on a double date with his sister. He feels it’s about time his parents let Jazz go off on her own without having her brother come with her and spy on her. He thinks his parents should trust their daughter.

The I Am Jazz celeb is mad that her mother doesn’t trust her to go alone. She wants to be able to go on a date without her brother joining or having her parents showing up. She doesn’t want her parents to “hire” her brother as a security guard whenever she goes out on a date.

However, Jeanette finds it hard to let go when she has been so protective of her daughter for all these years. The TLC celeb knows that she is an enabler. But she feels that her daughter has dealt with so many obstacles. So, it’s made her want to put “a bubble around her and protect her.”
