A fourth reacted, “Spitting.”
CLEANING CREW
In the video, Leah walked down the hallway carrying a bucket filled with cleaning supplies.
The mother-daughter duo erupted in giggles when the 16 and Pregnant star asked her daughter what she was carrying.
Leah responded, “A bucket.”
Amber shot back, “No, Leah, what is that called, you sarcastic [inaudible] – just like her mom. A bucket full of what?”
Leah answered, “Cleaning supplies.”
Amber deadpanned, “What do you do with it?”
Leah responded, “Cleaning.”
Gary weighed in with comments.
“Back story! I ordered a ‘cleaning carrier.’ Leah stole it for her cleaning supplies, ’cause this girl loves to clean lol. She walks in to get her supplies to clean and I just couldn’t!”
Amber added, “She was not understanding the task but was ready whenever needed lol,” with two laughing/crying emojis and three hearts.
Supporters were impressed by the teen.
A fan posted, “Danny Tanner is proud,” referencing the Full House character played by Bob Saget, who passed away last month.
The praise rolled in for Gary.
One commenter wrote, “Wow, I’m very surprised to see Amber there. Gary, you don’t get enough credit as a father! You have done an excellent job with her and she loves to clean? Wow.”
CO-PARENTING UPDATE
The cute cleaning post followed days after exes Amber and Gary reunited for a family outing, as they brought both of her children together for a lunch date on Saturday.
The Teen Mom OG star recently scored a victory in her nasty custody battle over her youngest child James, who she shares with her ex Andrew Glennon.
Amber snapped a photo of Gary as he smiled while holding a huge club sandwich, later sharing the image to Instagram.
The TV personality captioned her post: “It’s truly the simple things! Blended families can be complicated and at times stressful.
“But it’s simple days and kind gestures that make co-parenting amazing. Thanks for the sandwich @itsgarytime @kristina_shirley3.”
Amber shares Leah with Gary, though the teen spends the majority of her time with her father.
Fans were quick to spot that the MTV star’s son James, three, was also on hand for the lunch after Gary left a sweet note in the comments section.
“Thanks for bringing James over to see us! And def was a good Turkey club!!!!” the Teen Mom dad wrote.
Gary is also raising stepdaughter Karly and daughter Emilee, 6, with wife Kristina.
Gary wed Kristina in 2015.
FIGHT FOR CUSTODY
Amber recently scored a major victory as she prepares for a two-day trial in her years-long custody war over her son James.
Her ex Andrew currently has primary physical custody of the toddler.
Last week, The Sun exclusively revealed that Amber scored a victory in their custody battle.
In court papers obtained by The Sun, Amber filed a motion requesting the time given for Andrew to respond to her “Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents” be shortened to February 28, which would give him 20 days from when he was served.
She claimed the “requested answers and documentation are necessary for [Amber’s] counsel to properly prepare for the two-day trial.”
But Andrew’s legal team fought back and filed an objection to Amber’s motion to shorten time to respond to discovery, which is evidence to be used at trial.
He wrote in the court papers: “Respondent filed her discovery requests on February 7, 2022, which include 26 interrogatories and 20 requests for production of documents.
“Respondent has had years to conduct discovery but has waited until the last minute to do so.”
He claimed he served her with discovery back in October 2021, which she has “yet to answer.”
Andrew said granting her request would “be rewarding [Amber] and counsel for [their] negligence to this matter to the detriment of [Andrew.]”
However, the judge agreed with Amber and set the deadline for February 28.
Amber has requested primary physical custody of James and for Andrew to have parenting time.
The exes have a trial in early March about the issues.
Andrew was granted primary physical custody of their toddler after Amber was arrested for domestic violence against her then-boyfriend in July 2019.
The exes share joint legal custody, allowing Amber three unsupervised visits a week with James.
