I didn't read the article, but I find in hard to believe Amy would be questioned in anything related to Josh. She had nothing to do with his car lot and they had enough witnesses to his previous bad acts without needing to probe if anyone else had more to add.

Amy probably called every police department she could think of!

I suppose it could, but I certainly wouldn't expect to be contacted if one of my cousins committed a crime.  Actually I wouldn't expect to be contacted if my siblings committed crimes either.

I won't completely discount Amy being contacted to see if she had any info.  I once was contacted about the brother of my deceased (for years) husband who lived across the country from us and I hadn't seen in ten years or more.

Yeah, just to tell them that she didn’t know anything and by the way, not to mention her name or release it to the media, since she wants a low profile. And, that’s Amy with a Y.   Lol.

No because he could be a con artist impersonating Jesus.

She's letting her 3 year old use big knives. Saw a picture of him cutting apples. 

Because he's so SMART!!!! 🙄

I didn't see a picture but in an IG story Amy says her son "throws butter knives" because they're "not real knives" so they let him use sharp knives - I kid you not.

In the NEXT slide she's shilling the BABY wagon/stroller that she uses with Dax.

You can't make this shit up.

That kid is going to be a serial killer. 

[BigBingerBro]

[ginger90]

She did a video stating that butter knives tick him off, and he throws them. She also said he knows the difference between safe knives and a “not safe knife”, and he throws them too. 🤦‍♀️

But walking is hard. So when Dax isn't playing with knives, she pulls him around in a wagon.

[madpsych78]

I can buy that he tries to be careful at a level I would expect for his age. Amy needs to teach him not to throw knives, period, even if they are butter knives.

[GeeGolly]

If Dax is into cooking, Amy can show him kid safe(r) knives online and let him pick out a couple.

[Quof]

Are they offering a paid partnership?

"My kid loves knives and throws them during temper tantrums" is not the flex this dumbass thinks it is.

I am pretty sure she said he only wants "big" knives. This kid is so spoiled, and it's not going to end well. 

[CalicoKitty]

I wonder is she has already contacted Food Network to see when Daxie can be on the kid's baking show.  He would have to be out his wagon, however.

[ginger90]

I’m not familiar with gentle parenting, but this is what Amy says she practices.

[Absolom]

She could also purchase an apple corer/cutter which is what I gave my kids and my grandchildren.  It's still sharp, but safer than a regular knife.  To my mind those are safe around age 5 depending on the child maybe age 4.  As a prior kindergarten teacher, I haven't yet seen a three year old that I would trust with an adult cooking knife.

The proper response to a three year old throwing butter knives/dinner knives is NO knives period.

ETA:  Those children's knives are for age 6 and up.

Saying "no" will damage your child's self-esteem.   That's it, in a nutshell.

Not really. It's just finding creative ways to parent when a child has done something wrong. A PITFALL would be the parent who can't say no. 

That's Amy. She's doing it wrong.

Easy solution. Big knives are for adults, lets pick out a kid's knife or you get no knives at all. What's the worst that will happen? Dax will show his disappointment by crying or throwing a fit? He's three now is the time to show him how to handle emotions. Being sad and mad is okay, but it won't always change the outcome (and shouldn't in this circumstance).

And IMO, throwing a fit is much more appropriate, safe and healthy than throwing knives.

Oh, FFS! 🙄

Dax has a new haircut.  You can see it in Amy’s IG stories.  All I have to say about it is that it’s, ummm, different.  That poor child drew a blank with parents. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Won't happen. Famy indulges this kid to an unhealthy degree.

[awaken]

Not a fan of Amy but can’t fault her for this. My kids have used real knives and have cooked right alongside me since toddlerhood and are now proficient self sufficient cooks in childhood.

She’s at the opposite end of Jill Rodrigues when it comes to parenting, and they’re ridiculous IMO.

But did they fling the knives? I am cool with helping in the kitchen and teaching one to be self sufficient.  If she doesn't nip this one part in the bud she will be dodging knives any time this kids gets angsty.

And they might not all be butter knives.

[CalicoKitty]

Does she mean table knives when she refers to butter knives?  I don't know many people that have/use specific butter knives anymore.  I have several, but they are sterling and not used every day.  Butter knives are much smaller than table knives.  Regardless of size, it is not cute to allow you kid to throw any tableware.

[Salacious Kitty]

I'm sure she means regular table knives. Maybe it's a regional thing?

We've always called them both - I'm from New England but my mom was from the south, so I don't know where it comes from for us.

[CalicoKitty]

Interesting.  Butter knives and table knives have always meant two completely different types of knives to me.

Also from Northeast and we call them butter knives. And we never threw them around or at anything. 

[Jynnan tonnix]

Northeast here, and I think of table knives as coming in two varieties  - either butter knives (the dull ones with a rounded tip) or steak knives (the sharp, pointy ones).

Interesting. I call steak knives just that to distinguish themselves from regular table knives. Maybe it's a California thing? 😀

Hmm. now it looks like we're into 3 different types.  To me, a butter knife is a specialty knife for cutting off a pat of butter at a holiday meal.  Table knives have a small serrated edge for general purposes, and steak knives are for steaks, harder to cut portions of meat.

THIS! 

I just quoted Famy who made reference to butter knives. Since one doesn't cut with the little guys, it's evident she meant table knives.

I'm from the south and those were three distinct kinds of knives: steak knives sharp enough to cut meat, table knives with slightly serrated blades for cutting lighter weight foods like bread, vegies, and possible breakfast meat, and butter knives that are smaller and smooth.

Famy is not educated in cutlery.

Steak knives are sharp. I have a question for all of you. What do you butter your bread with? Special knives or table knives?

Maybe Amy should redirect Dax toward baking so there's less or no things to cut.

Table knives on a daily basis.  But a butter knife is used in a very formal setting.

I agree with the characterization of a butter knife being specifically for conveying butter to bread but I also grew up calling table knives butter knives.
