Amanda Stanton - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Ugh, Juelia. She soured me on the whiny single parents and the tragic backstories. Two things I can't stand on this show and she was both. Hopefully Amanda's a lot more likable since she's in the F4. I remember Renee didn't bother me.

^^Me too.  Amanda sounds like she had choices and made decisions that she has control over.  So we want no whining from her!

Agree on both counts.

Actually I have never been bothered by single parents on this show (IMO its their decision and their life) till BIP and Juelia. It was never that bad before her. Tony on Emilys season was a bit bad but that could be because she never really gave him the time of day so the second he started crying he was out. The rest were on different seasons and that was it. With most the kids were barely mentioned.

I feel like Amanda and the twins are most definitely bound to get an intro video. Most definitely.

I've seen 5 yrs old 3 yrs old 18 months old 1 1/2 yrs old. If we don't know then please don't reference the age. "Young children" IMO is sufficient reference if ages aren't known. TY

I saw a post that said the oldest turned three 26 weeks ago. And 18 months is another more common phrase for 1 1/2 years old. I've never said 5 years old. I hope this helps.

That was my fault. I read it as 26 months, not weeks. I deleted it so as not to cause anymore confusion. Sorry GA.

I'm agreeing completely with rhondam on this. The show shouldn't cast contestants with children this young imo. I've had the unfortunate experience of hearing my daughter (then between 3-5ish) completely distraught when I was gone and for far less time than Amanda. I would FaceTime her until she fell asleep. She would tell me there were tears on her pillow. It makes me upset to think that Amanda is putting her girls through this for no good reason. At that age, there is just no substitute for mom. As much as I love a surprise ending, I hope Ben doesn't pick her.

That. ^^^  ITA.   I am still traumatized from listening to Juelia's inane incessant poor me sob story and inappropriate overshare.  These people all choose to go on this show.  I am hoping Amanda is fun and upbeat and brings more to the table than being a mom.       JMO

No you're not wrong, if she turns 4 in April that makes her 3 1/2 now. It's all good! :Nod:

 The irony! A marriage proposal spelled out with real roses. An omen of what was to come, perhaps?

Sounds like her time on the show made the baby daddy want her back.

I believe that is an old page
