Josh Murray - Amanda Stanton - BIP 3 - Discussion

No way,  would I have gotten away with dancing on furniture like that.  Nor will any of my cousins children, nieces, nephews or my own future children.  An ottoman, maybe.  A tv cabinet, credenza, or whatever you want to call it, absolutely not!  But then, I was taught manners, boundaries and respect for both people and things and was actually punished and taught consequences.  How dare my parents be so old fashioned! 

I must have been a rebel. I danced on top of plenty of furniture as a kid. Lol

Not to mention my siblings and I played soccer in the house (broke 3 lamps), several broken fingers goofing off, etc. We got disciplined plenty but got to be kids and kids don't always follow the rules.

My gosh the tv could have fallen over on her and shattered, all kinds of accident potentials. More importantly, did anyone tell her to get down/tell her no or get up and get her down?
IKEA just had a major tv infomercial on recalls to prevent possible injuries for things like this. My own DH just spent the day a week ago properly anchoring down a tv and chest of drawers so things won't accidentally tip over on our 2 yr old.
Again, I have to wonder who has the brains out of the 4 of them.

Permit me to hazard a guess: none of them.

That was the picture I was talking about in my post. Maybe a bigger question is how did she get up there? Did she climb up or did someone put her up there?

Some kids are climbers. It's almost natural. I grew up with 4 younger sibs and having to haul them out of sewers and new home foundations(yes, you read that right). The boys got into everything. You turned your back and bingo--you got one out of trouble while the other 3 were getting into the next adventure.
It's constant vigilance.
We know so much more now than we did in the 60's when I was a tot or the 70's. Things need to be anchored or they can squash a child and worse. We don't use bumper pads in cribs, babies sleep on their backs--etc. I keep hoping Josh might be a good influence on what is truly appearing to be the epitome and poster teen mom.

IMO, I love the fun they are having and supervision doesn't seem to be a problem as they are all there. Thus far, I haven't seen the girls in harms way. They are making great memories! I too wanted to know if there are any facts regarding A&J summer breakups or just rumors.

I have "ET phone home" earwormin' me.

He seems to be really involved and hands on, so I think this can be a real possibility. Hope she just shuts up and knows her place so they can live happily ever after and he can raise all 3 of them + the rest of the football team he wants.

I looked at the photo of the kids at Irvine Spectrum...I think they are wearing Amanda's clothes. The older girl's top is big enough for Amanda and I think the little one has on one of A's rompers.

You know you're skinny when you can swap clothes with toddlers.

It's nice to see Josh supporting Amanda's ventures by posing for pics with her for her to post to sell various things. IMO, It's nice to see them being supportive of one another and complimentary to one another. I don't believe there was much support or compliments in MeAndi/ Joshs relationship
