Josh Murray - Amanda Stanton - BIP 3 - Discussion

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Josh is just as annoyed with, and passive aggressiveness about, the little girls. The Duh and Josh have pushed this narrative that he is a wonderful step-father, but photos are a single second in time.

With the traits he has shown he possesses, I would lay odds he is short-tempered, controlling and mean-spirited to them - in between times of being loving. It usually works that way.

No matter how much he already dislikes The Duh and vice versa, they are probably so caught up in wanting to save face and be 'bach royalty' [barf] that they can't let go yet. For the love of those girls, I wish Amanda would kick him to the curb. imo.

IMO if Josh wants everyone to believe they are an adorable family unit he needs to stop putting things he doesn't like or annoys him about Amanda on SM. IMO he is not joking about it, if he says it he means it.

I have to disagree with this. Josh absolutely loves children. Just talking about having children in interviews when with the first one brought tears to his eyes. He may not agree with the way Amanda mothers them but as far as his relationship with the girls there is no fault of him. He loves the girls period. JMO

^^^ I agree.  I don't see this as pushing some narrative about being a good step dad. I think his love for those girls and children in general is pure and genuine.  There is a joyfulness to him now that I haven't seen for a long time. He's a true family man at heart.

As far as his "teasing" posts about Amanda, I'm sure he does mean it.  Most men will say they prefer women wearing less make-up or going natural.  All the things that Josh has razzed Amanda about are relatable things that a lot of men (and women) feel about their partners in general.  I don't believe for a second it means that they can't stand each other.  It's just real life.  I see this all the time amongst all the loving couple I know, including in my own marriage.  But, I DO wish he didn't post it on SM for obvious reasons. That, I agree, is not cool.

I do think he loves the girls and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I'll never question that. I don't think he's some awful person who would use them. JMO.

Or maybe he's in love with the idea of being a dad?
With his mental maturity level, IMO, he's more into the idea of being married and have kids, the idea of being a good family man, instead of actually in love with his partner and her kids.

Not that he would be awful to the kids, but it is just two different things here. Just like I know so many people who claimed to like volunteering services, but it is the idea of how they can post it to SM to look good, instead of genuinely liking to serve.

Josh and Amanda are so adorable.  *IMO* They are really taking advantage of their time together in Mexico to continue to get to know eachother.  Following them on SM it's wonderful to see how much they adore one another and how in love they are, IMO.  If it ain't love, they're mighty fine actors

Wow--isn't this the third weekend in a row DUH is away from the kids?
1st weekend - at UGA game, 2nd weekend - Las Vegas came home on Saturday but went to wine tasting instead of being with girls 3rd weekend Mexico.
Wait-I forgot the girls are enrolled in kiddie bootcamp the month of October. Makes total sense now. Full time schooling M-F and bootcamp ROTC on the weekends.

I was just going to ask, does she ever stay home and actually spend some time with the girls?  She must be making a ton shilling if she's having to pay the ex to keep the girls so much.  

I definitely think some acting is involved, since they continuously try to show off a perfect, happy couple and image.  It's not always perfect, happy, glitzy and glamour.  But I would never ever ever consider them fine actors or encourage them to pursue any more time on tv (be in reality or some scripted show).

I so totally get it. I get to know my partner so much better getting massages, wiggling my toes in the sand, having housekeeping and meals vs childcare, laundry, picking up and errands. Real life is such a biotch. I wish someone could live it for me.

Satan Nick2 must be making BANKKK off of the Duh and BOR with all this "babysitting" if allegedly the hospital stay was a sweet $750/3 hr for their dinner date. Awesome. What a business he's running.

Kasha,

You must be wrong about this because isn't she a "Great Mother" and her girls are her priority. I think they're her priority after Amanda. JMO
