These parents literally kick their kids out as soon as that 18th bday rolls around and then one of their kids tries pot with his friends and freaks out and force him to move back home… they’re taking him back 10 steps.
I could never understand why this family found it so necessary to kick their kids to the curb once they turned 18 simply because it happened to them....news flash, there was no social media hot like it is today, no insurgence of horrific mass shootings and crime like it is today and they just said get out and see you later.....And they think their these super great parents, NOT!!! All my kids left of their own accord....they had jobs, they wanted their freedom and they were ready....but never did I force any of my kids to leave, job or no job....my casa they casa!!
people grow at they're own speed. if you force someone to grow in a way you want them to expect the worst to come out of it
Anxiety is a horrible thing that others don't understand. Good luck to recover from it. People just don't understand!
I don't know why some parents are so eager to kick their children out of the house
Because they want them to be an independent adult.
@Fables 456 if you have to kick them out as opposed to them being confident enough to do it on their own they aren't an independent adult and you did a bad job at teaching them
@@mandyschmidt206 I lived home till I was 25, when I was stable enough.. My parents never kicked us out.. I’m thankful for that…
@@fables4564 they want them to be independent adults yet they still keep tracking devices on their adult children?? I would rather let my son stay with me until he is ready then kick him out and he ends up homeless
@@Ana-jv7zl I stayed home till I was 25,I was stable saved enough,and my parents never pushed me nor my siblings out.. I’m very thankful for the parents I have… My parents are Iranian,we moved from Iran years back,when we came to America my siblings and I went crazy😂our parents allowed us,never once did they track us… I showed my father this,and he said he’s very disgusted,especially he said how the eldest daughter moved out but her parents won’t allow her boyfriend to move in,it’s not like she’s home.. I come from a very liberal family..
i could be 55 years old and if i needed to move back in with my parents they wouldn’t even ask questions they would open their door and tell me i can stay as long as i need to. that’s how it should be, guide him down the right path but don’t force him to go down the path you think is best for him he has to figure that out in his own. he will grow to resent his parents.
Same for mine.
My parents have always told my brothers and I that we will always have a home to come back to
His parents give me anxiety too. Jesus. They remind me of my parents and best thing I ever did for the stress they instilled in me was to leave and move far away. Parents that micro manage your adult life is exhausting.
This looks like loving parenting.
It's called love. Because as a parent your main job is to watch out for, and guide them into real adulthood. Just because someone is a certain age doesn't mean they are an adult. Obviously, this young man needed more time to mature.
@@whatsrealwhatsnot9770 sometimes the help is the hinderance. His parents taking control of everything is actually preventing him from taking the steps himself. Maybe he’ll take more time than most but HE needs to take that time on his own. Their job is done they’ve set him up and taught him right. It’s his turn now and they’re standing in his way by continually being in his ear and not letting him think for himself. He needs to be allowed to make mistakes, and also know that it’s ok to make them. That’s all part of the process. They aren’t allowing any of it. I feel so bad for him.
Amen. Im 54 and my mother still tries to micro manage.
Yep I totally agree with you!!!
With the disabilities they over coddle them
"Using your parents as a crutch" as someone who has kids my kids can come home anytime they want, breakup, or just not doing well in life. This poor kid can't get anywhere in life if his parents don't help.
They did let him back, temporarily. He needs to learn how to be a productive member of society.
Emily, I'm the same exact way....heartbreaks, arguments, needing a restart, what ever my kids want, my door is always open. I can understand parents wanting the empty nest, but the 7 little Johnston's became a hit show, not because of T and A, it was those kids and shoving them out the house only to regroup every damn episode for some bs camera time???????
I would let my kids stay with me for as long as they want! And I would be there for them no matter what! Their parenting is beyond messed up in my opinion!
Imagine kicking your kid out and then wondering why he has anxiety
But a real parent gone let they kid go see what it’s like in the streets💯 u want to do dumb shit in the streets, how ab u go live in it💯💙 it’s called tuff love and parents know what’s best for they children💯
They're so controlling. 'he belongs to us' he's your child not your possession. Feel bad for the guy.
His parents are exactly why he's the way he is. They need to stop doing for him and keeping him under thumb . "Get him back home and get control of him..." He's not 5! All these people are losers.
Agreed. He has to learn how to manage his anxiety and know how to learn from his mistakes.
I so agree with you.....the problem with Johah is that he's not comfortable being a little person surrounded by average size ppl, ie his roommates....and he does too much to fit in. And I'm 1000% sure when his friends are drinking, he's the but of their jokes and its taken a toll on him....but running back home to a controlling mom and a disappointed dad, is not the solution.
Under his ball sac
They infantilise him and it doesn't help his confidence
@@bravingthehallways8169 I agree and both are guilty of being hypocrits....they forced him at 16 to get his licence just to drive the other kids to school, they want their kids out the house by18, encourage all thier kids to date and marry as soon as they meet a little person. And they wonder why Liz, Johna and Anna all are struggling with relationships...they put too much pressure on these kids once they reach 16-18, soon they're gonna have Alex walking down the isle to marriage
Trent isn't helping the situation at all. He's 22!! Most 22 year olds still live with their parents, it's completely normal. I feel bad for Jonah. No one has their life together at that age.
See what happens when you kick your kids out! He was working, you could've made him pay rent until he was ready to move out! I couldn't imagine telling my kid they have to move out! Imagine having a full beard asking permission from your parents to go see a friend.
Agree 👍
I still live with my parents don’t have to pay rent. It’s not that big of a deal either way u can’t just magically be ready
I worked AND paid rent. Due to health issues I can't work.
Imagine having a full beard and still living at home .
BINGO, BINGO, YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE COFFIN....I always had issues with both Trent and Amber FORCING thier kids out the house once they graduated, like who does that?????Especially kids with barriers to overcome. I found it selfish, mean and down right wrong. Those kids made this show worthy to watch and to somehow dismiss their importance based on some family rule, was just stupid. Both T and A were dating and during thier thing during a time were social media was in its infancy, people are much crueler today and the world isn't safe. I hated them for that. That big A house was paid for by all them kids and all of them should have been able to leave and come as they please.
When it comes to mental illness you have to be compassionate. His dad telling him he can't be coming back and forth will give him anxiety. He needs to know that he can always come home when he is feeling bad. Tough love won't work for mental illness. Love, understanding, and compassion will. He might not be able to work and will need to go on disability. I hope his parents go to therapy with him and get some knowledge on his condition.
You cannot be compassionate with mental health. Being compassionate will have their son being 40 years old and still at home
@@CocoaPuff01 And what if he still was living home at 40? Is something wrong with that?
@@vintage4563 his parents won't be there to support him forever. We're not immortal. They were correct in trying to instill skills in him to become self-sufficient and self-reliable.
@@CocoaPuff01 There is nothing wrong with wanting him to be independent, but sometimes life throws a wrench in it and it doesn't always go as planned. My 20 year old son has schizophrenia and may never be able to be on his own. He had goals in his life and being mentally ill was not one of them. Our children may need us longer than we expected and as a mother I support his needs. If a child had cancer, would you throw them out? Mental illness is a sickness in your brain. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist... “Never let a problem to be solved become more important than the person to be loved.” ~Thomas Monson
@@vintage4563 i never claimed mental illness doesnt exist, so youre making a strawmans argument. A medical illness is vastly different from a mental illness. The effects of mental illness are exacerbated and get worse when the symptoms are fed into. For example, someone with depression may want to lay in bed, but laying in bed will make depression worse. Someone with anxiety may never want to leave their home, but staying isolated makes it worse. With mental illness you have to understand the mind isn't well, and doing what the illness wants is detrimental to health. These parents were correct in enrolling him in CBT therapy and pushing him to develop skills to manage his illness. They're not enablers.
i think alot of the anxiety comes from his parents. It sounds like they have high expectations and thus they put that on themselves. Which is totally fine but you have to balance that to prevent these issues
You teach skills before they leave home and if they are not ready to move out...then they wait.
There's no waiting. Boot them out on the midnight of their 18th birthday
Some parents are still waiting while their 35 year old son are playing games and living in their basement 😅
@@natie4u you are comparing a 35 year old living home contributing nothing to young adults who just graduated high school and are automatically kicked out
@@Ana-jv7zl I was out at 17.
Not just wait, but despite having your kids learn that they can do and be what ever they want, BEING A LITTLE PERSON, it still takes a lot of encouragement and support from both parents even after they turn 18. The world has changed since the T and A romancing days.
College is not the only option. He quit school, so you made him move out. What is wrong with going into a trade? My son could not handle school. It was not his thing. Now at age 24, he is a Journeyman Plumber. College is not for everyone. I wish parents would get this!
Probably Democrats
I love this comment, sorry I'm a year late but it resonates with me so much,my son is 13,he never liked school still doesn't, hes so intelligent a great artist great musician loves anything to do with using his hands not sitting and reading or writing, he's in his last year of primary school heading into secondary the end of August and his principal and teacher don't understand his abilities at all,they basically think he's going to be a failure which is so wrong he's so smart so intelligent, can speak 4 different languages loves every culture every religion,not every teacher or parent is right,sorry for rambling on but this comment made my day..thank you❤love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Dude with a mom like that I would need a Xanax as well
They kicked every kid out as soon as they started working,when a child has lived in a cage his whole life and suddenly gets kicked out,he don’t know how to cope and how to fill that void and they fail as adults
I moved out at 15, found 2 jobs,finished middle school and high school,went to college
I’m 33 now and I have never lived back home tho I have had some tough times over the years
Those parents are so hard on their kids to be SUCCESSFUL yet their kids are emotionally unstable
Love how this young man RESPECT his parents.
Mental health is a chemical imbalance but also a product of your childhood
He is seeking reassurance and love ❤
I’m glad my mom said when I’m ready to be on my own I can leave cause she knows how hard it is out there especially since I’m going to work and school
I don’t like how she stated how anxiety is something that you’ll forever have to deal with when that’s just not the case. I went from constant anxiety attacks, and to the point where I thought about when the next one was gonna come that I would’ve never stopped like a cycle. But now I don’t have to worry about that I went from dealing with it every hour of every day to now not having to deal with it
Dude your anxiety is coming from the fact that your parents r crazy
Huge difference between help/guidance and control. These people want a picture perfect family, but go about it in all the wrong ways. Horrible parenting.
Totally understand and agree.
yeah, make sure you bring him back home and control his life just the way you think it should be .
bring him back? he wanted to come back.
@@milesmorgan7938 his parents kicked him out, then told him to move back 😂
Old news 🙄
Lmao have you seen them? Their other kids moved out and they still keep tracking devices on them
they know their children best! Every parent is different and actually they are very kind. I know a lot of parents whom wouldn't allow their grown child back home once they leave.... struggling or not. They are allowing him to be told what to do rather than him learning to navigate life choices on his own as a grown man now. These parents are providing their children with life skills for the real world and keeping them out of prison and off of drugs and the streets! save your judgement! There are parents whom don't care about their children. I admire these parents on so many levels.
I went through same situation. I hope that he finds his own path soon!🙏
Props to people who said their child will always have a supportive safe home to stay at our return to while learning independence and the real world. They kept him under a rock them kicked him out. That is setting him up for failure
It's OKAY for your children to come home don't make him feel bad for his anxiety
This Dad is unreal
I hate that they said they need to fix him
Not fixing him but fixing the issues within him.
@@jodeedugger9807 Would you say the same about a chronic physical illness?
He’s an adult…don’t give him a to-do list 😂
They might be strict, but they set their kids up for success. I actually like the way they parent. They’re involved, and clearly care about their children’s well being. Also, this family does so much fun shit. They are not the worst parents out there, at all.
They totally caused this!!! Need to take responsibility that they messed up! Sound like horrible parents!
“If you go to work, you have to move out” what absolute useless parents, these two. That makes zero sense. “My kid wants to start being financially responsive to reach financial independence, before they can do that, let’s also give them the burden of finding housing, paying bills, transportation, and all his own needs because that’s not the fastest way to cause financial instability for young people just starting their lives!” Jesus..
I’m not saying the parents are right or wrong. But I strongly believe they need to be going to family therapy with Jonah because they may not be handling his situation correctly and if that’s the case they will be making him worse.
Why couldn't he work and live at home until he was actually ready to move out?
I thought he moved out with his gf
I really think what it is, is that he doesn't want to work or have adult responsibilities. I think he WANTED to take the easy way out by moving back home.
I’d have anxiety too with controlling parents like that , they come off so passive aggressive when they talk to their kids no wonder they have problems.
I had to leave home at 16 because I had no parenting at all. Don't let people criticise too much. People don't know love when they see it. Better to be over the top than cold. People have no idea what it's like NOT to have support when you are disabled.
🇦🇺🦘🐨
As a single parent of three now
49,34 &38..
I feel empathy for them as a parent.
Im extremely fortunate that my three
are all now all going wonderfully in their jobs as
Professionals..Education,Law & Medical,
but it was a time l never wish l could repeat!
Parenting is a tough responsibility in the
smoothest of situations!
I wish these parents the very best with
this adult child,their other children
& for themselves..👩❤️💋👨 💙👨
🫂🙌🏻🤞🏻💪🏻🪄🫂🗣️🧞♀️🫂🧚🏼♀️&🍀🫂
Your comment is so compassionate and realistic! I could never judge a parent for their choices. Each child has different needs and challenges. It's definitely a struggle through the college process. God Bless your family!❤️🙏
It's good he needed structure and at 22 he needs to continue develop it.
Anxiety isn't easy of course, I know, but it doesn't stop you from being an adult.
He's going to continue adulting. He nees to focus on work, being stress-free, and less on his girlfriend who could be a distraction.
Same Jonah same… I lived on my own for years but I wasn’t responsible, I’m 28 and just fell into weed and alcohol and quit my job to reset in China from my addictions. Now I’m back at square one looking for a job and building my way back up
Jonah,has great parents that care enough to help him deal with anxiety,and depression which you really need support of family and friends.......
"jonah belongs to us" is a horrible way to talk about your adult son
CBT is great. But they need to be less rough and demanding. They’re way of parenting is prob not the best way to help someone with anxiety as severe as his.
I agree
He's 24-years-old and moving BACK with mom and dad. I'm 34 and I haven't even left.
they honestly have very questionable parenting ideology
This is the type of parenting that makes kids not want to talk to their parents about serious matters until they fall apart completely.
tough love parenting doesnt work with every kid , i know its doesnt work with me , it gave me anxiety
His parents stress me TF out.
His parents are micromanagement nuts
I feel you bro
Mom is to much
U can't "FIX" him.
N the parents give me anxiety. They act like they r the only family where one of their children came back home.
Jonas parents cause his anxiety they treat him like a child not like a grown man.
I'm so curious on how Alex is gonna turn out once he hits 18...if anybody would be a moma's boy, it would have been Alex...but he's so smart and intune with himself, this one is gonna be alright.
I don’t see no embarrassment in moving in back with your parents no matter the age these parents need to be more caring and be grateful you have your son by you unlike many parents and times are tough financially , mentally and physically exhausting
Bro stands like roger from American dad💀😂
So does your mom , but we won't talk about that .
LOOL
How his parents made the decision for him when he’s an adult and 18+. To me I see it as his parents aren’t teaching him life skills they crippled him and their other kids in that way. So sad.
Parenting is hard and everyone does it differently but I don’t agree with him using the word “fix” or him not taking his relationship seriously if it’s something that is important to him.
Jonah was forced out before he was ready and the way his father is talking too him in that car like this coming home is temporary your getting out on your own as quick as possible and your not going to keep coming back it's like he's threatening jonah so how is he going to feel a sense of security while he's working on himself his parents really have no compassion at all and their going to run him ragged until he moves out but the cbt therapy is a good idea, and for them too say his relationship with Ashley isn't important at all to him was sad ashley !asked jonah happy and she's put up with a lot from his parents butting in on reading his texts with Ashley they should care about their son's girlfriend because jonah needs her right now I just don't like the way they parent their really cold-hearted
Awesome parents. Jonah will do great with their outlook
They have always been great parents I know they are worried he will slack off in life but I don't think they truly understand depression and anxiety I feel for him the are looking to fix him as they put it and that's night a good thing to say he's suffering and it's not something you can slap back together and throw out the door , I hope as much as they are teaching him backbone that they are being loving and supportive verbally and emotionally. Because the treating him like a wash up ain't it. Alot of kids that are going through mental stuff go to drugs trying to get rid of their troubles I wish they would educate themselves more and put not as much focused pressure on him might be where some of his anxiety stems from also the girls left on their own but he was pushed out maybe he's hurting from that sometimes we can be harder than we seem.
So he got kicked out because he decided to work? Smh
Right?! I don't understand that?
Make it make sense they set Jonah up for failure. I lived at home in my 20’s and I was a productive member of society
@@jodeedugger9807 I see nothing wrong with living at home when you are older. As long as you are working and being respectful, I see no problem.
Maybe it's because I am super independent and always have been, but I cannot imagine my parents picking out my therapist for me at the age of 22. I don't know that just seems very codependent and enmeshed to me. I left at 18 and even as I healed my relationship with my father in my early adult years, my relationship with him was always as an adult and not a child. I couldn't have imagined asking him for money more him signing me up for sessions with a therapist on my behalf and me letting him make that decision for me. I wonder what the therapist is gathering about that family dynamic just from that.
This is ridiculous 🙄 let the poor kid live home and pay rent until he feels he's ready to live on his own.
But didn’t they like kick him out in the beginning?
jeez you guys..fix him just like you want him..
At 22 years old...your still supposed to be in school by law. That's the way it should be until 24 years old.
What? You are not “supposed” to be in school until 24. Where did you get that information?
@@luckylaura12 It's confidential information.
@@solangelalebron1348 you sound smart.
You smoking that delta 8 😂😂
Wow, these parents are ridiculous. "I don't care about Ashley... even if it is my son's gf and makes him happy."
God is the answer of alyou're standing it's nothing wrong with you you're just lost without God🙏🏽❤
I think everyone is quick to blame the parents. They already havd such a disadvantage in this life and they are pushing their kids to be independent and making them ready for the world. I actually like their values. As a boomerang kid myself i wish my mum and dad had been more strict and didnt ket me use their house as a home when it suited.
Pl”you know why he’s barely able to survive on his own? Because you guys controlled his every move, micromanaged him and stunted his developmental and social growth, then threw him to into a world he had no idea what to do in the second he decided to even start trying to gain some sort of financial stability to lead him to financial independence. Stability and independence don’t both come at the same time.
Que pena não entender um outro idioma. Assisto ao programa no TLC . Tenho 74 anos e amo os Johnson's
I struggle watching this clip. I mostly have an issue with them picking out a therapist. It is very good to seek help when you have that much anxiety. However they picked out what kind of therapy he needs or which therapist to see. Its implied that they didnt consult Jonah or even his doctor about how to handle this they just told Jonah what he was gonna do and how it was gonna be done. I hope that if this is really the case and not editing for more drama that this therapist opens Jonah's eyes and gives him a voice and the courage to one day stand up to his parents
CBT is the right option in his situation. That’s what any doctor would tell them
he obviously has some cognitive issues and he is lazy and not proactive at all. if they left it up to him, he would not have even started looking for a therapist. He was taking synthetic drugs and struggling at work. he is never on time for things and spends his free time sleeping. ]they never should have made him move out so soon, he hasn't learned how to take care of himself yet
Jonah's parents are making the right choice. If they don't support Joshua now and help him heal at home, they will end up with a son with permanent problems, in adult group homes, or etc. I hope Trent and Amber ignore all the negative comments on TH-cam. They are making the right decision.
No they are being bad parents why track them when there older I would never track my kids if I had some
@@mackharris6536 If you don't keep track of your young adult children and they start struggling in life, you will have a bigger problem on your hand if you do not come to their aid. People are very individual in how they deal with stressful situations and what they can handle.
They are so mean...
The parents just annoy the fck out of me. It's honestly nothing wrong with him being back home it's just the way they speak and their mindset as parents it'd so cuddling and suffocating. Those are the parents you want to hide stuff from they seem so judgemental. I wouldn't tell them shxt.. not even if I bought a damn dog they wouldn't know 🤣🤣🤣
All I’m going to say is parenting is hard work no matter what’s said it’s a decision you have and choose to make for your loves one it’s called tough love but ask for advice just apply yourself and move forward. Helpfully Jonas listens to his parents because I think they’re basically telling and pushing him to be a grown until he takes the training wheels off and can be self-efficient! I’ll continue to pray the world is scary these days.
I was told i needed to leave as soon as i graduated high school.
He can’t have his old room back, he’s your son not an actual guests
Welcome to adulthood ...anxiety will be the least of his problems ..
Wait, they kicked him out because he wasn't in school? He was still working, what?
Sounds like His parents are just controlling and theyre making his Anxiety More Worst!! I have Anxiety and it got bad when my mother passed away 2 years ago since then Weeeeed Helps Out My Anxiety fuck the Meds!!!
"Jonah belongs to us" stfu this is why he has his iasues its ALWAYS THE PARENTS
"He belongs to us" is so creepy to say about their 22 year old son...😳
These parents are cold
Love this faimly
I wonder if something happened to him while he was on his own ...
Wym?
You don’t want to “share” your issues with everyone??? But You’re on TV??
They basically kick every kid out at 18 . Hope his mental health improves. Anxiety is no picnic
Get on meds!!! I have anxiety!!! I even have panic attacks out of the blue
Esse povo precisa se decidir: põe pra fora, quer controlar....
It was the delta 8!
I mean yeah it wasn’t his best moment but one bad trip shouldn’t make you go back home
Almost everybody at 22 would love to be independent and live their life.If this one is coming back home then probably he is not ready yet. They even told him its going to have to be a temporary process until he is ready to be by himself. They are not going to kick him out if he needs to come back, they seem pretty reasonable and as parents they still want to help and make his life easier and if you are a parent and are reading this ( I have a teenager) you would understand they are doing what good parents do. All these ugly comments about micromanaging and controlling his life come from either someone who doesn’t have kids or from someone who thinks turning 18 means you don’t take care of them anymore.
Dose any1 know when this comes back on I pull it up on my TV but it's from 2022 I had watched all them and did their daughter have her baby??
It's been renewed and none of their daughters had a baby, what the heck are you talking about? I think you have your shows confused.
My older children are welcome to live with me anytime.
I think he had every right because his parents have too high of expectations
Heres the thing jonah is not a child anymore number 1. Number 2 from my experience if someone doesnt have anxiety they really dont understand . I have generalized anxiety disorder and back when i was in high school the person i was dating didnt understand it at all and asked several questions which i was able to answer the person understood it a little but not completely and the persons mom didnt understand it at all sense she doesnt have anxiety or her son and i explained it several times she still didnt understand and came across as being judgemental.
I don't understand why having kids like you know you're going to have a little person lm sad 😞
His parents are horrible poor jonah
