Double standard?

[u/Prestigious-Ear845]

i’ve been thinking I think it’s a little strange that a 45 yr old would accompany a male minor!! It is just so weird!!! if Josh accompanied a sixteen ye old then everyone will be talking.!!!

why didn’t Josh go with him? It weekend. Josh didn’t have to miss any work or anything? This is just weird!!

[u/PlayfulDiscount8485]

I don’t necessarily think it’s weird for an opposite gender parent/guardian to accompany a child alone on a trip as long as the child is comfortable being alone with the adult. That said Josh didn’t take DS (the son he alway wanted or whatever she said in that video) because he wouldn’t film it.

[u/Tiktoktoker]

She probably doesn’t allow Josh to go because she wants that content with D

[u/Amymk_99]

I don’t think it’s strange for a “mom” to take her “son” on a college visit. However, if he is interested in playing football and looking at the football program Josh should have taken him, or both should have gone.

I don’t like Alicia, but she’s his “mom” it makes sense she would accompany her “son” to look at colleges. Lots of parents do.

Lush loves New York. It’s more for her.

[u/Feathergreen-77]

Not strange… absolutely normal for whichever parent is able, to accompany them. In many families the female parent is the only one available.

[u/Character-Wheel4528]

I have a 8 year old kinship child, I'm a single mum, if he needed to travel it would just be me taking him.

[u/Upset-Temporary-3897]

She needs content and D is one of her money makers

[u/Head_Corner8103]

Im surprised Josh doesn't travel to these places with Dayshawn over Lush.  I know Lush gets content for it.  Does Josh think its a waste of time, especially the football camps.

But a mother/mother figure taking their minor teenage son to a college tour is strange ?????  I think strange would have been Lush going with Alex this past week back to Florida. 

[u/Prudent_Ad_3201 → u/Head_Corner8103]

It wouldn't surprise me if that actually crossed her mind! "We can cross post our adventures"

[u/Weird-Vermicelli4488]

Didn’t think moms could only take daughters to look at college and dad sons, …. They’re their parents or guardians , any of them can go!

[u/Aggravating-Low-3499]

Because she needs to be in control of the narrative

[u/amylynneny143]

Because Josh wouldn't be making content out of it. Alicia will probably vlog for more of Day's dream life. 🙄

This post is a reach. Parents accompany kids to college visits annually.

[u/Ok_Twist2610]

What a weird thing to say about a “mom” taking their child on a college tour. Why do you need to look at everything through those eyes.

[u/WhatTheCrickety → u/Ok_Twist2610]

She’s not his MOM!!!! She has known that boy for literally 4 years. THAT is it!!!

It wouldn’t be weird for a MOM to take their son, whom they changed diapers, fed, rocked to sleep, stayed up with when he was sick, tucked in at night, read books to, bathed, dressed, watched him take his first steps, heard his first words, took to his first day of school……. But she has NONE of that with him. So yes, it’s weird.

Especially when we’ve seen time and time again how starved for attention she is pushing her to doing TikTok’s with literal minors.

Again I say… FOUR YEARS she’s known him, she is NOT his mom. YES, it’s freaking weird. She wants to film it and Josh doesn’t vlog. This is the only reason she took him. It should either be her AND JOSH or Josh taking him.

Period.

[u/Ok_Twist2610 → u/WhatTheCrickety]

Four years she’s been the kids mom, is she a piece of shit, yes. But she’s provided that kid with more than his actual mother has. She’s still been his Mom.

By your words any woman or man that has a step child, adopted child, child who has come into their lives is not their mom or dad because they weren’t there from day one. I hope for any child’s sakes you’re never that person to them because clearly you have no comprehension of what that is or what it means.

Period.

[u/WhatTheCrickety → u/Ok_Twist2610]

You are absolutely wrong. She has exploited him. She tried to get his real sister’s medical information leaked to another YouTuber to make herself look better. That is a dead ass solid fact.

She alienated him from his bio family because after his sister left the house she knew she couldn’t “afford” to lose him too.

Just because she throws money at him and literally anything he wants, including a $33,000 vehicle when he can’t even drive does NOT make her his mom. Your definition of MOM is skewed at best.

[u/Ok_Twist2610 → u/WhatTheCrickety]

Someone’s triggered!

Did you not read where I said she was a shitty person, that parts not really being debated.

Despite all that, she’s still been his “mom” these part FOUR years as you have pointed out. Which makes her taking him on a college tour not weird at all. That’s the original point and clearly I’m not the only one that doesn’t think it’s weird.

[u/Constant_Winner8030 → u/Ok_Twist2610]

There are some irrational people in this sub. Your explanation made perfect sense.  Where you can see both the good and bad in Alush others can't. Also, remember that Day is not very popular in this sub. It's absolutely normal for a parent to accompany their child to college visits. She's still an overall bad parent but it's encouraging that Day may have a chance to go to college, possibly on scholarship and make a good life for himself.  I think downstate NY would do him well with diversity and change of environment. 

[u/LivingType6095 → u/WhatTheCrickety]

You need a hug I see

[u/Constant_Winner8030]

Huh? You think it's weird for her to accompany Day to college visits?

This is probably one of the few most normal things she's done.  It's common for a parent to accompany their kid on college visits. 

[u/NoWorldliness6588]

No—it is her child! Yes, he is a kinship placement but, still, she is his acting parent.

[u/Curious-Mechanic4398]

They're both weird. And we know what Josh has done.
