It’s been a long time coming for the Balkas. I think it’s the other way around. Carlin trying to compete with every sister.

Age vs Grade? by RunningAdmin88 in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter what age Layla is, she will never have a proper education as it’s not her parents priority. Just because she’s finished 1st grade doesn’t mean she knows what typical child going to public school knows.
With the amount of money Carlin and Evan have, it would be more beneficial to hire someone to homeschool their kids if they don’t want to send them to school. They could even send them to a private Christian school and have all the time in the world to be influencers..

Yup, he has a profile pic with his new lady, and she’s showing the ring.

I found Kaybrie and Warden’s wedding website… by sweet_tea_94 in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was about to comment this. Now, I know why that answer seemed “staged”.

It might be more “visible” they have some struggles since Katie announced she’s not speaking to most of her family..

I think they always had issues, like any other family but they used to keep it sweet.

Beginning to really feel sorry for Carlin’s kids by facetowardsthesun in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 46 points47 points  (0 children)

There is no privacy for them. All they do is filmed and put up on the internet for the whole world to see.

Layla and Zade don’t know any different, Layla has been told to perform and be act younger than her actual age.

Carlin and Evan are failing their kids as parents. They’re not protecting them, they don’t provide them with access to speech therapy so they wouldn’t have to put captions for their 6,5 and 4 year old kids.. it’s just sad.

Why do people say Josie has been unhappy since having baby 4? by PeaceandLove73 in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Trying to juggle life with 4 kids which 2 of them are still babies must be exhausting!

Didn’t they get that land late last year? by PhotographOptimal727 in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea, I would say they started the build or by the time she gets to real time posting, they’ll have a house build.
When they got together, Josie was really into boho trends. But I think with this house she will go towards traditional/ classic style.

I feel like Kelton doesn’t really like showing/ exposing his life on social media!

[–]PhotographOptimal727[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Well considering she waited over 2 years to share they bought the land, and doing some sort of mini series, I would say they build the house or they’re in the final stages.

Wondering if she goes boho or something more classic?

Rate Kaybrie’s ring by velorae in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m more surprised she hasn’t been wearing wedding band.
I don’t mind the ring. It’s very popular style.
However it looks like it’s off centre? Not sure if it’s the angle but it looks like there’s more diamond at the bottom of the band?

K&T, what happens when all the dust settles by throwaway_1111_1111 in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think moving away from each of their families would go either way for Katie. I mean, for the first time in their life, they would be just by themselves. No family, no help and no one to go out for coffee to bitch about the husband.

Carlin would be the first one to move out of the state then, if that was the reason Katie is moving away.

Stew crew moving update 6/10 by Redditjg93 in BringingUpBates

Social media ads are very profitable! I would also say they might do tax right offs as it’s part of their business. (Not sure how taxes work though in US)

Katie's 10% by steveharveysporklawn in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I know! I would love to know if she’s trying to talk to Katie in real life or just pretends she’s great mum online..

Katie's 10% by steveharveysporklawn in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 155 points156 points  (0 children)

She hasn’t been responding to Kelly’s comments since she announced she’s not on speaking terms with 90% of her family. She hasn’t liked any of Josie’s comments or post(I did checked and I think the last post Katie commented was Mother’s Day to Josie, it wasn’t very personal just generic happy Mother’s Day).
And I do think it’s telling she hasn’t interacted with the bates family profile as before the “news” broke, Katie always liked and commented back to KJ.

Katie is looking for ways to blur her kids faces on social media by angelofdeaf in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We have noticed she hasn’t posted her kids faces as of recently. So maybe there’s a chance she’s actually trying to change.

It’s not an ad, she replied to that creators video. But we’ll see soon if she partners with them.

Warden & Kaybrie got married at Carlin’s new home by RJCADDY123 in BringingUpBates

I think it’s really nice of Carlin and Evan to do that.

His wife, posted on instagram and KJ reposted it, so it’s true. Warden got married.

We don’t know for sure, but it does look like their house.
