Was watching the latest episode where Amber has to go to therapy to deal w/ the stress of her life. She said she was angry and resentful that Bryce and Elizabeth didn't plan better and had to move back home. I thought it was Amber and Trent idea for them to move back home?

At the moment Liz revealed she was pregnant, Amber took over. It was Amber and Trent who told Liz and Brice they'd have to move into the family home. IIRC they put Liz and Brice in an upstairs bedroom, but Amber made Leighton's nursery on the same floor as Trent's and her bedroom. Both Amber and Trent admitted they tell Liz and Brice how to care for Leighton, instead of allowing them to navigate parenthood themselves, together. 

As much as Brice loves Liz, he doesn't like that his role as Leighton's dad has been effectively stolen from him by Amber and Trent. I predict if he and Liz eventually break up, that will be the reason why.

I agree about Trent and Amber.  Total control freaks.  They are very similar to my parents regarding that.  It gets worse the older you get. Ugh…..

Ref. Poppy’s death.  Wasn’t it Valentines when they went for a visit?  There was a red rose in a vase.  He died early March, so just a few weeks later!  That’s bizarre.  Did they say how long he had had dementia?  
 

Where is the mother living?  Trent’s sister?

I strongly suspect the mother didn't want to be thrown out of her own house so, as a family compromise, I'll bet Poppy was put on home hospice.  That could dispatch him in a week or two, depending on what the family wants.  He actually looked perfectly fine during the home visit, wheeling himself around the house (just very deaf; hearing aids???).  Grandma is pretty entertaining.  I sure hope they didn't want her to move closer just to be on the show and boost ratings, but wouldn't put it past T/A and TLC.

Jonah and Ashley are adults. What the hell are Trent and Amber doing grilling them about their future plans and acting like they have any kind of say in what they do? I would be mortified if I were Jonah. No wonder they only see Ashley a few times a year. She looked super uncomfortable with them at the restaurant. They also left a ton of food behind. What a waste.

Also, this might be a stupid question, but is it common to give a newborn a pacifier? I don't have kids, so I have no idea, but it seems like it might confuse such a young baby, if they associate sucking on something with eating.
