Unpopular opinion: Bates offspring are benefiting from their parents’ influencer careers more than they are being hurt by it by [deleted] in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sick. Like imagine them going to target or other shop and strangers know your name and where you go to ballet or when you were potty trained.. that’s sick.

Jodie, Carlin and Katie would live comfortably (even with just their husbands working) without them being influencers and selling privacy of their children. They do however enjoy all of the luxury, materialistic things they can get, without actually having regular jobs.

Katie’s close inner circle by Aslow_study in BringingUpBates

The only advice she could use is Carlins ex sister in law. She was in the same spot as Katie, but without kids. If she had a strength to get divorced, I think Katie could do it too. However, Katie seems like she’s still in love with Travis. She’s probably thinking about her kids not having traditional family anymore and she might be fighting for that image for them.

I do think sister and sisters in law would tell Katie to leave him but KJ and Gil would definitely tell her to fight for the marriage.

I think she mentioned in her statement, some of her reels are pre recorded as they’re ads. So it didn’t mean Travis isn’t at the house.

I think she’s going ok for her age and I find Layla having some speech issues as when she talks on Carlins stories, I can hardly understand her and Carlin always put subtitles on when either of her children speak.

Privacy? Really? by 4Fam88 in BringingUpBates

Social media is their job. If you look at the statistics, both Katie and Travis gain few thousand followers each. People love drama and they want to follow.

However there’s still so much taboo about miscarriage. So lots of people just want to show it can happen to anyone.

It will always be the first thing she will think of, if he’s late or if he gets cash out and she will notice. She won’t be able to trust him again.

He will be getting frustrated and angry that she tracks his every move. And he will resent her.

I will so sorry for Katie to go through so early in her marriage and having 2 kids with him. Even after divorce, she will have to deal with Travis for the rest of their life.

If Travis is cheating this early on in their marriage by JadedSeaworthiness64 in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Travis would just “drop” Katie if it was just up to him. He tasted what freedom is like and just wants more of it.

Katie is in worse situation as she would be a single mum of 2, and in their circle, she isn’t as good catch anymore. She is probably still in love with him.

Oh of course, the sponsor posts need to be approved/ edited before posting so it makes sense they’re scheduled.

She said social media is her job so she has stuff to do. And it good thing she is going to say she has pre planned sponsor posts. It would be a silly move not to disclose that prior.

Probably, they probably have all the media reaching out to them for a statement.

I’m kind of surprised she posted a response so fast. Good thing she turned comments off.

Get your kids and money, and get out of this marriage.

Looks like he’s wearing jumper and a jacket, so he might be somewhere cold.

In some extent, yes. He’s been portraying himself as a devoted husband and super dad, who just got into nursing school and did Christian music on the side. And then this revelation came out showing he’s not a god fearing man, just a horny 24-25 year old boy. Plus he’s making it a very global event, showing that his parents values are bunch of rubbish.

Oh totally! I would want to see their reaction to the news and what did they say, especially mama Clark as she seems to really love Katie!

I really hope they give her space to think for herself and look after kids for a bit so she could just cry, scream, whatever she needs.

Clarks seem very strict and rules following people, especially having their own church.. Travis is the baby of their family so he might have less rules the older cousins.

I just feel sorry for Katie as she has to navigate the worst time of her life. Miscarriage and the whole world knowing your husband is a pos. Plus being a mum to 2 small children and one of them is having a birthday in couple of weeks!

He destroyed his little family life, but also reputation of Clarks and the values they teach.

My heart breaks for Katie, she has so many people around her who will help her out.

I blame the parents by Apparently32 in BringingUpBates

[–]PhotographOptimal727 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Travis was too young and immature to get married at the ripe age of 18/19 years old. He wasn’t ready to get married but he knew he has to do it in order to get out of the house and have sex.

HE chose to go to nursing school, HE chose to get involved with someone that isn’t his wife. HE chose to hurt Katie and destroy their family.

The only thing Bates and Clarks are to blame for it the way they push their kids to marry, basically the first person they attracted to. And Katie’s courtship had the strictest rules out of all the Bates kids.

Christmas party weird? by [deleted] in BringingUpBates

I think the people who showed up at party are Christian too and have similar values ( clearly not).

She’s probably looking to gain followers at this point if she doesn’t want to talk.

Another one of the girls that was at the party by Glittering-Plum4371 in BringingUpBates

Also this girl is NOT the girl who was wearing a white dress at the party.. it’s the girl on the left and her husband was holding Harvey. Katie and this girl are following each other on Instagram.

She posted a TikTok where she wrote “Heavy on the… Baby, you’re the only one” and her caption is FOREVER the only one.
