I honestly think that Rachel has serious issues with family. She wanted josh, but I think she liked the idea of a patchwork family more, she wanted those boys so she could prove to herself that not all blended families are “shit” because in her eyes growing up she had the evil step mum and dad that chose her and her kids over herself.
The problem is Rachel, that’s a cycle you need to break, and you haven’t. Josh chooses you and your kids over his own all the time. You choose your kids over josh and sams all the time.
I seriously believe it was Rachel that fought for the boys and that deep down josh didn’t want them, look at the way he treats them, he can’t wait to get rid of them and move away.
It’s the same way she portrayed that she raised Vs girls
