      Lmao at the fact they said Josh abandoned Alana. Josh has been there for her from the beginning. While her mother left her for drugs and pumpkin is just the same as June. Horrible women

      I’m sorry I’m probably gonna get a ton of crap for this but Alana is an adult. I understand her being hurt about Josh but she knows full and damn well what her sister has put this man thru. If ANY of them care about HIM at all they should understand that. Saying he “abandoned “ her is just ridiculous. She’s grown and understands ( or should understand) what her sister is putting him through and how she would react, let alone having kids in the situation. I’m really seeing with these girls that no matter what they do it’s always someone else’s fault. They don’t seem to be very considerate to others.

      People making excuses for a father abandoning his kid because he’s “overwhelmed” honestly prove that sexism is still alive and well in this country. Yall would crucify a mother for abandoning her kids to a drug addled, unstable partner because she was stressed so don’t be making excuses for fathers doing the same thing. If it sounds crazy to you that a mother would just drop out of her child’s life because she was overwhelmed then it should sound just as crazy to you that a father would do that. It’s not the 1940’s anymore. The double standards need to go.

      Alana is not his child or a child. She needs to reach out to Josh. Pumkin has her own BS and Josh, too. Pumkin needs to stop making her sisters pick sides. Josh is a good dude.

      How is it everyone else can get grace for the most ignorant of stuff but he can’t for something his wife wanted? He protected Alana for 10 years. It’s not that he doesn’t love her, but he has to navigate his feelings because kids are involved…

      Josh has been upstanding since day one….when he took a 13 year old in to raise. And he raised her as his kid. Josh loves Alana. He's probably just been doing the best to move on and he may not know have Alana feels…maybe he's worried Alana would t want any to do with him so hes scared to reach out and be shut down.

      I mean Alana told him that she is picking her family’s side and was going to distance herself in respect to pumpkin and he has to respect that. Then she says josh was never there for her.. bullshit. Josh has been put through the wringer with this family and was still an amazing dad.

      Don’t pumpkin reliize what she done! He broke up a family, don’t blame Josh, he got just take care of His kids and move on ,he don’t own you or your family, nothing” Sorry but it true” and don’t Alana own a phone? It go both way pumpkin!

      Josh.. I hope my words reach you… You are 1 Hell of a man. I would be proud to know you. You not only raised yours ,you raised "OUR ALANAH aka.. our honey boo boo. You stepped in and filled shoes that were not meant for you. I applod you.. Be proud of yourself / the world is.. Because you wore those shoes like they were meant for you. .. ❤ and a big hug..

      I feel bad for Josh. He was a great guy, but these girls sabotage any type of stability and reliability in their lives. I guess cuz that's all they know.

      Why does anyone listen to this (See You Next Tuesday) Person remember Josh taking care of all the babies and trying to help Alana while Pumpkin was out feeding her face, she is a low life and that inbreeder she hooked up with is no better leave Josh alone he is dealing with so much deception and lies while he was caring for 4 kids his wife was out humping his relative so be kind to Josh he is man who truly loved his family and now he is trying to start all over!! Alana should contact Josh and thank him for trying to be a family when her mother dumped her, he has now been dumped by the same family so have a heart!

      Me and My sister saw Josh at an Outdoor Concert in a Park. When he walked by we asked if we could get a quick photo with him, if not that was ok because we didn't want to bother him. He took so many pic's with us, Then he just sat down with us and talked to us for the longest time. He was So Genuinely Nice and so down to earth. We talked about his Kids and the Twins because I also have Twins, We asked a few questions about the show and how his life was now because it wasn't long after they got divorced. He Just lit up when he talked about the kids and when we talked about His Kids He also talked about Alana just like she was his. He told us so much and before He left He said "Just Please Remember everything you see on TV isn't always real or the truth" I feel like he would never hurt Alana on purpose, but if even half of what we see on TV of that family is true I could understand why he would feel overwhelmed and need some space after they broke up.
