TJ Jackson plays the father figure as he takes cousins Prince and Blanket to karate class
TJ Jackson is making good on his promise to take care of his Uncle Michael's children.
The 34-year-old father of three accompanied Blanket to his karate class in Calabasas, California on Tuesday with Michael's eldest child, Prince, in tow.
They seemed just like any other average family doing their thing.
Father figure: TJ Jackson is taking good care of his Uncle Michael's children. On Tuesday with Prince, TJ took Blanket to karate and then treated the boys to cool drinks
With Paris, 14, away, it was TJ spending quality bonding time with the boys.
TJ wore a red sweat shirt over white T-shirt and white shorts, while Prince, 15, wore a red shirt and black trousers.
One could see why Blanket was the apple of Michael's eye - Blanket, 10, looked adorable in his white karate uniform with his trademark long hair handing down his back.
Afterwards, TJ took Prince and Blanket to the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf for ice-blended drinks.

The good life: TJ is trying to give Michael's kids a normal upbringing, like the one he had
Prince is always looking out for his little brother and even carried his drink for him.
TJ is taking his role as guardian seriously, trying to give the boys as normal an upbringing as possible under the circumstances.
The singer seems to enjoy these simple times with the boys.
'Life is precious. Enjoy every second,' TJ tweeted on Saturday.
Double fisted: Prince listens to his iPod and carries two ice-blended drinks in his hands, one for Blanket
Last July a Los Angeles judge stripped famiy matriarch Katherine of custody and awarded custody of the children to TJ - which stands for Tito Joseph after his father and grandfather.
TJ, who's also a singer and performer, is probably considered one of the most stable members in the Jackson family.
TJ, the son of Michael's brother Tito and the late Dolores, had a normal upbringing according to Jackson standards with birthday parties, baseball and school.
He's also famous for dating Kim Kardashian - she was 15 at the time, he was 17.
But since 2007, TJ has been married to wife Frances and they have three children together.
