I agree 100% with you! I never could understand the need to post every little thing on SM, I guess a sense of validation, or as I call it, false validation.

Exactly. You just don't know what kind of predator is waiting and watching for a chance. So dumb.  But moving BOR in is as bad. She could've brought a perv into her hh for all she knows. And no MM, I'm not saying he IS a perv. I'm saying you just cannot take chances like this with your precious children. It is beyond stupid. and careless. I just can't with this couple.

Don't worry about it, the kiddos already have their own Insta too https://www.instagram.com/kins_tagram/

They're also signed up to some talent agency. I just don't get parents who try to make money off their own children, privacy and normal childhood be damned. I don't even want to sign up for LinkedIn and such myself, because the thought of anyone finding out all my business with a simple Google search makes me uncomfortable. Then there are people who plaster their kids all over the internet with no concern for the fact that they can't even give their consent. All for some IG likes and blog views and shilling opportunities. It's just selfish and careless.

I started modeling when I was 5 years old and did it until I was about 13. That was wayyyy before social media was a "thing" though, so my pics weren't plastered everywhere. And my mom put my money that I got from modeling into a savings account, which I highly doubt Amanda is doing for her kids. I hope she's not just blowing all this money that she's receiving on crap.. This shilling isn't going to last forever. She needs to be smart about how she manages the money. ALL the bachelor folk should! IMO.

I enjoy the pics my friends post on FB of their kids, I get to see them and watch them grow. Granted their accounts are private so only friends and family can see. Not to defend Amanda but the girls are all over the exes very public FB page. JMO.

Well, they have Josh now on perv patrol and if Josh even suspects of someone being shady, he's just dying for an opportunity to knock someone, anyone out, so I'm sure he'll jump at the chance. I'm kidding, folks

I feel bad for criticizing Olivia. She was there...she knows!! :cutesmile!:

Tried to find Amanda's thread but couldn't so this thread is where I'll ask...

I haven't followed her/her storyline. What is the situation with her ex? Is he a decent father? A deadbeat? I remember reading that her daughter ended up in the ER and she tried to paint him as a bad guy, but a few posters confirmed that he was actually there as well.

Are you serious???     UGG boots at the beach?  Unbelievable.

No lie. Or in Amanduh's case it was an outfit for a photo shoot instead..

Most of their story is from her narrative, so I doubt its accuracy. Apparently he wasn't a very good husband, but seems to be a loving and caring father, very involved in the kids' lives. Jmo.

I'm on the fence about kids and modelling, because so often it's the parents pushing it on the children, and they really don't have a choice. So many now adult actors have said how much they hated modelling as a kid. When you compare modelling to other possible hobbies, from modelling the pictures will be (now online) forever. And it's so concentrated on looks and appearances, that it IMO will give the children a messy sense of reality outside of makeup and hair straighteners. Jmo.

I just keep shaking my head and wondering if all common sense has fled from this couple. They sure seem to be doing a bunch of wacky things. Exploiting the children like this has no rhyme or reason, except for the almighty dollar. JMHO.

There could be a whole different way to look at Josh and Amanda, the kids and the speculation.
1. modeling. Amanda has found a way to support her children as a single mom. These photos seem to be something that they all do together. I have to give her some credit for finding a way to make a significant amount of money, and include her children. California is a very expensive place to live. She is getting support from the children's father which she should but she is supporting them now too.
2. maybe ..."maybe" .... moving to Atlanta some day. the LA area is so expensive and a tough place to raise children. Maybe their quality of life would be better living in Atlanta. Especially a suburb. Or perhaps they would live in Tampa near grandparents. Especially if they have more children. As the children get older they can visit back and forth with their father. Not ideal but it can be done. Again... that area is a fast pace life and very expensive, so it might make sense to live in a more family friendly town away from so much fashion and Amanda might not have to work as much.
3. the clothes the little ones wear.... it was very windy that day and all the women had boots on for part of the time too. It might have been chilly and Ugg boots are comfortable. Those other sandals are very soft.. the tops of them, no different than wearing high socks. Maybe they are comfortable.
Just a few thoughts as I have read some of the speculation on this thread and there maybe another point of view. They might not make all the choices I would make but some of these choices might actually be good ones.
Carry on....
