Evan Bass & Carly Waddell - BIP 3 - Updates - Discussion

Whereas most people deal with the non-appealing aspects of their partner's personalities much later on, these two navigated through it even before their relationship truly began. That IMO is what makes a strong partnership where you truly accept the other person flaws and all.

IMO The fact that Carly doesn't try to take the mom's place in Evan's kids life and by that shows respect to their mom endears her to me more unlike a certain someone who was all {#}dadlife{/#}.

I truly hope these two make it!

It feels like she's had a really good effect on Evan - I was reading this article from Evan's ex-wife clarifying that FB post she had up in the summer, saying that Evan didn't really call his kids while he was on the Bachelorette and didn't hang out with them afterwards, which is why she got really angry and impulsively posted that. Now, he completely fulfills his 50/50 custody agreement and is really a involved and present father. It feels like some of that must be because of Carly's influence, because she talked about how Evan being a father was one of her favorite things about him. They've both just really pleasantly surprised me and I'm really rooting for them!

IMO.

No, I wouldn't think so, unless the new parent legally adopts the child. So unless evil Nick gives up all his rights to them or gives approval for the change to happen, I don't see how they can or how a judge would approve this. Unless maybe they add on Murray, maybe hyphenate and combine both last names? But I would still think with the girls being minors, their actual father, not some dude talking about #dadlife would have to be aware and give consent. But maybe someone more knowledgeable in this can help us out.

I agree, seems like an attempt to further remove the girls actual father from their lives. They have a father, who seems to spend plenty of time with them and is active in their lives. I can't imagine he'd willingly turn over all his rights of the girls to BOR and Duhhh and simply walk away from them.

Honestly, I personally don't see this relationship making it that far, but who knows stranger things have happened. It well end, very ugly at that, at some point though, IMO. JMO

I don't think the ex is a prize either, but is he supposed to take the high road all the time when Amanda & co decide to publicly trash him

Exactly this. I always go back to what Nick V. said about that very thing on Afterbuzz. That it wasn't fair for her to paint the guy in this way on national television when one, there are always two sides to every story, two, he didn't sign up for a reality show, she did and three, this is the father of her kids. I understand people's argument that the ex doesn't look better talking to tabloids and I'll admit I wasn't too impressed when I read his interview in US Weekly during Ben's season.

But in the guy's defense he really hasn't been running to the media all the time, at least not that I've been aware of, which to be fair I haven't been paying that much attention. But seems to me he did that one interview in US Weekly and has been living his life quietly ever since until this latest fiasco with Amanda and Josh. I will not be surprised if there is some level of resentment on his part with all the #dadlife and perfect family picture Amanda and Josh are trying to paint and seemingly acting like he doesn't exist.

I saw his comments in the latest US Weekly and I don't think anything he says there is unreasonable. He clarified his legal position - that he wants 50-50 custody now, especially because he spends more time than the court mandated time with the girls anyway and he stated that he didn't go public with the case but once he filed, the documents became public record, which is true. I can believe the guy was not the greatest husband and maybe he had a gambling problem and he made a lot of mistakes in the marriage.

But if he's turned his life around and is doing the best he can to be a great father for his children, it does suck that because of his ex's decision to go on a reality show, his past mistakes have become public knowledge and aired on national television and she and her family continue to trash him on social media. And when he speaks out, he's judged as well. And I'm sorry but I had to laugh at Amanda's friend saying the ex would do anything for a buck when her friend is the one all over reality television and constantly pimping herself and kids on social media to make some bucks.

Really good points lleyki, particularly the fact that he doesn't have the benefit of a manufactured television personality (and it's accompanying viewer support) to hide behind. Unfair disadvantage!!

There is nothing to explain, IMO, as this is general discussion thread where all opinions and thoughts (the good, bad, happy, sad, ugly, pretty, etc.) are welcome. It is not a fan thread, where everything has to be all happy, positive and loving. Jam has a fan thread located here for those that may better like it or feel more comfortable there.

There is close and then there is a little too much all up in each other's business, IMO. You can be close or very close without feeling the need to treat a grown adult child like a 5 year old, making excuses for and defending his every action fall over SM, holding his hand and telling him he's always right and it's everyone else that must be wrong, etc. If my Mama took to defending me on SM, I'd take away her phone.

I have no doubt there was manipulation, poking, prodding, egging others on to get reactions out of him, egging him on as well, etc. But that does not mean he had to fall for it all. Sometimes, what you see is what you get. Past cast (specifically thinking about Kiptyn and Graham) have said repeatedly before, during and after the multiple shows they went on, they can't use what you don't give them. Besides, that does not excuse the actions and attitudes in real time while the show was airing on SM, interviews, etc. Quit complaining about edit and just own up to your part in the ridiculousness of the whole thing. Not everyone will, has to or should like you, that's just life. Deal with it.

And while I'm glad that he seems to have found the family he has wanted, he needs to be a little more respectful to the fact there is an actual father in the picture who loves and spends time with the girls. I'm glad he seems to be embracing the role as stepdad, but let's be realistic. This relationship is still new, he and Amanda are still learning about each other and how to work as a couple. If I was in that position, he would not have moved in and certainly would not be allowed to post all over SM about #dadlife. Totally disrespectful to their real dad. But then Amanda and her mom have no problem trashing and throwing the ex under the bus (based on things said on the show and their SM), so no suprise she allows and encourages Josh's behavior. They all (Josh, Amanda, the ex, Amanda's parents, Josh's parents, etc.) need to learn what boundaries are and set them, IMO. But that's JMOAA.

How would Amanda feel is Nick's girlfriend started taking pictures with the girls and referring to herself as their mom?

This is all being handled so very poorly. I don't know what Amanda is even thinking. Actually I don't think she is thinking at all! I can only hope Nick wins custody so these girls can have a shot at a normal life where they aren't used as props.

Exactly!!! You simply cannot claim other people's children with #dadlife hashtags on social media. It's simply wrong. The children have an active father in their life.

None of these things are going to help the break up process, I predict moving in so soon and just going from 0-100 like that will be their downfall. And being complete morons .

But he definitely should be more considerate of that. No parent wants to feel replaced. Hopefully counseling and mediation is something they will all consider for the sake of the little ones.

I'm glad he's excited to get what HE'S always wanted, but the big part of being a parent is putting the kids' needs first, not his own needs and wants, but as always, Josh and Amanda are about Josh and Amanda, the kids are just whatever in their own storyline. IMO.

sosleepy wrote:Personally, I find it straight up disrespectful and insulting to insert himself so fully with #dadlife hashtags and Mama Murray straight up referring to them as grand babies. After a couple months. The kids HAVE a father. They HAVE actual grandparents.

I have a step father too. To develop that kind of trust and bond with him took time. My mom moved pretty slowly with him. It was a gradual progression and transition into thinking of him as a parental figure. IMO, Josh (and Amanda and fam) need to back off a touch and let this happen more naturally. For the kids, for their father, for everyone involved. JMO, as always.

Exactly. You can love your partner's kids a lot, but there are boundaries. Within the first month 'in public' these two have managed to cross multiple no nos. and the sad part is, that the bitterness this behaviour causes, will end up hurting these little kids.
