And this is why I can't with him and Amanda. His few weeks spending time with the kids doesn't qualify him even as a step dad. He will need to take 200 steps back, stop broadcasting the children on sm, and realise that the children already have a dad. But it'll never happen, because Amanda & co have branded the actual father as evil already. Jmo.

Well MM is either leading Josh or Josh is following MM's lead because she calls them her grand babies already. Can't she just sit back and see how things play out with inserting herself in everything. I have never seen another mother do what she is doing.

Personally, I find it straight up disrespectful and insulting to insert himself so fully with #dadlife hashtags and Mama Murray straight up referring to them as grand babies. After a couple months. The kids HAVE a father. They HAVE actual grandparents.

I have a step father too. To develop that kind of trust and bond with him took time. My mom moved pretty slowly with him. It was a gradual progression and transition into thinking of him as a parental figure.  IMO, Josh (and Amanda and fam) need to back off a touch and let this happen more naturally. For the kids, for their father, for everyone involved. JMO, as always.

It's best I don't even say what I'm thinking when I look at all those pics Josh is posting about himself with other people's kids. Perhaps it would be better if he focused on his relationship with the girls' mother first and made sure it's the lasting kind before practically adopting these kids who already have a dad and who he's only known for a few weeks. I actually feel really sad after seeing those snaps of Sabel with the kids. They already love her, so what if this doesn't last (which is pretty likely)? It's just cruel.

I'm no fan of Josh's but it's Amanda's responsibility to protect her children and that includes what she allows to be posted publicly. IMO I really, really hate when people with kids come on these shows.

Josh is a selfish egomaniac to be posting like this and using the kids, so that's nothing new whatsoever, but their mom to allow all this???? She is just beyond it all imo.

I agree Lipsis, they're thrown into the machine, documented
for life. Without their consent.
Anyway, this morning I awoke to a pic of Josh and Amanda
on my email. Had to take a gulp of fresh brewed coffee huh
my niece had sent me a pic of A/J that her son had taken
at Disneyland last night. Not he but one of his crew recognized 
them they were kind enough to allow a pic taken. The children
we're not included. Blu come over and embed the photo. Thanks
By the way the pic was cute, smiling from ear to ear.

The kids are even more useful to Josh outside of staged pics, he snapped one scooping Sabel's poop . Ok, ok, kids love to do strange things sometimes because the adult is doing it. Sometimes the adult is a moron and records it for strangers.

Exactly. You can love your partner's kids a lot, but there are boundaries. Within the first month 'in public' these two have managed to cross multiple no nos. and the sad part is, that the bitterness this behaviour causes, will end up hurting these little kids.

Yeah I definitely put more of this on Amanda. SHE's the actual parent, therefore it's her responsibly to set the boundaries IMO

Sadly, I don't think any of the parties involved know what boundaries are, moreless how to set them. JMO

Amanda is a piece of work at this "responsibility thing" IMO.

WTF? Is he aware that dog poo is actually dangerous to young children?

I'm so glad the ex is taking Amanda court. I don't even care if it's out of spite or because he's cheap, someone needs to call her out on her irresponsible actions.
