7 Little Johnstons star Jonah Johnston is 23 years old and some TLC fans think he seems disadvantaged when it comes to adulting. In fact, on the show, his parents admitted that he seemed “difficult” to deal with as he approached his 20th birthday. Three years on, viewers suspect that his parents left him with a crippling lack of forethought.
Jonah Johnston Struggles With Adulting
After Trent and Amber Johnston became tired of their oldest son not applying himself, they told him to move into his own place. Some TLC fans were horrified. However, he seemed to be okay for a while. But then, his freedom to experiment outside of strict family guidelines saw him end up in trouble with the Delta 8 drug.
7 Little Johnstons fans saw that Jonah Johnston moved back home, and they felt shocked that his parents seemed to go overboard. As an adult, they read his texts and interfered in his relationship with his girlfriend. Still at home in 2024, his younger sister, Emma, a teen, was instructed to act like a human alarm clock and make sure he got up for work and tidied his room.
Jonah Johnston grew up in a very controlled environment, and some fans think that he can’t learn from his own mistakes because his parents seem to baby him. Certainly, many people agree that he went through genuine anxiety, but Trent and Amber might not always be around to fix his problems.
7 Little Johnstons Jonah Has A Problem
On Reddit, 7 Little Johnstons fans discussed how Trent and Amber’s son found himself in trouble in the current season on TLC. He ran his car low on gas but neglected to fill it up. Instead, when it was almost empty, he tried his card but ran into a problem with bank fraud issues. So, he called his mom and dad for help.
Speaking about how Jonah Johnston seems challenged when making rational decisions, the OP said:
He sells cars for a living but calls his parents when he’s not even completely out of gas yet? He calls them and says he doesn’t have enough gas to make it home….you should know about how much you have once the light comes on – just make sure you don’t run out? Like it’s not a total surprise…Just another way they’ve crippled him as an adult.
In the comments, TLC fans expressed their thoughts about the young adult struggling. Here are some of their comments:
- I’ve just started watching this show but it seems like Jonah can’t adult to save his life. His younger sister needs to be the one to wake him up in the mornings and he can’t problem solve straightforward situations. On top of all of it, he comes across as mean and arrogant to the rest of the siblings.
- Do folks not carry an emergency $20 with them any more?
Not everyone condemned Trent, Amber, or their son, and one of them pointed out that he seems to have some genuine problems.
