TLC Parents Enforce My House My Rules
The 7 Little Johnstons parents tell their son they will agree, but he and Ashely must abide by a list of rules they are laying out.
Trent tells his grown son that he understands that he and Ashley are used to doing things their way in the past. However, since Jonah is now living under their roof again, he will abide by their rules.
This means he and Ashley will not be sleeping together. They stated he would remain in his room while Ashley would use the guest bedroom upstairs.
This is just the beginning of the list of the Johnstons house rules. Jonah’s parents also stated that at no time will he be alone with Ashley during her visit.
Amber makes sure to explain to her son that all activities over the weekend will be done as a family. She also made it clear that Jonah was to ensure Ashley was fully aware of the rules she was expected to follow before coming.
