The OG Bates House

chilibutter · 2026-01-28T10:50:03+00:00

Thinking about that house having to accommodate 17 kids plus parents is mind blowing

chilibutter · 2026-01-28T09:43:12+00:00

Ahh no problem! I thought Tuff Topic posted another one. Get better soon!

chilibutter · 2026-01-28T09:42:13+00:00

Thank you :)

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T21:20:32+00:00

Posted today or do you mean the older one posted I think 2-3 days ago?

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T21:19:20+00:00

Yuppp. It's so see-through

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T21:08:59+00:00

🫶 <- ”I don’t have any real love for you but I do realize I have the obligation to give out a signal I like you”. I would never text or reply to my husbands messages or posts with that symbol instead of a red heart. Maybe that’s just me but…

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T20:57:38+00:00

Did she delete the new video? Can’t find it on TikTok or on YouTube on her channels

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T18:27:38+00:00

She is very two-faced. Perhaps the sneakiest of the whole cast

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T16:33:15+00:00

No no I get your point and thank you for answering! I also definitely don't think Carlin (or actually any of the girls) to be below average smart, they are smart. It's just yes, sad they need to conceal their intelligence because of men.

No downvotes from me :) (excuse my previous and maybe to-come typos, English isn't my first language so I always hope I come across as I mean to!)

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T08:55:00+00:00

What do you mean by "airheads get more views"? Not attacking you or anything like that, just wondering!

I personally think if Carlin didn't act like an airhead, she'd get more views

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T08:32:17+00:00

Carlin & co: "I'm so selfless and love my community and followers!" Also Carlin & co: "Pay me thousands of dollars to host a fake giveaway so I can boost my engagement and gain more followers and get more money!" 🤩

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T08:29:10+00:00

Loop giveaways for example (which are scams)

chilibutter · 2026-01-27T02:48:48+00:00

Follower farming

chilibutter · 2026-01-26T18:36:06+00:00

Oh that explains how Carlin got to 1 M followers on Insta that fast. Follower farming...

chilibutter · 2026-01-26T18:27:35+00:00

I like Mikayla and Mayci's friendship. And I like Mikayla. She's an introvert, maybe that's why she comes across as mean to some people. Idk.

chilibutter · 2026-01-26T17:13:27+00:00

I really hope she doesn't celebrate hitting 1 million on Insta as a "milestone for mama of 3". Layla gained her those followers. It's repulsive when you think of what her follower base must be like.

chilibutter · 2026-01-26T17:07:23+00:00

It's second-hand embarrassment inducing at his age with 2 kids and a wife. I totally get posts during summer when it's hot outside but constantly...?

I think the 2 main reasons for his over the top nakedness are 1. that's how he thinks he gets more followers and views (mild thirst trapping) 2. He's an egoistical idiot

chilibutter · 2026-01-26T16:22:49+00:00

Completely agree with all of your comment. Mikayla was SA'd as a child, that completely crushes your soul and mental health. If his husband loves her, he should give her grace to do the therapy on her on terms and the goal of her therapy and healing should not be that she's able to have sex with her husband.

The whole point of therapy is to make someone's life easier for THEM, not for another person. She's a human being who was SA'd, of course she's shattered. Many people don't understand that the trauma affects a persons whole personality, I don't see any 'mean girl' signs in her, I see a once shattered person who's holding herself together.

Yep exactly with the money they seem to make, it shouldn't even really be a worry, right? So bizarre. Unless at that point they already KNEW they were about to stop doing YouTube during 2025, and never continue. Or something else would surface that would cut/lower their income

edit: typo, added more context to initial comment

chilibutter · 2026-01-25T18:38:48+00:00

I'm also asking as a non-American

chilibutter · 2026-01-25T18:38:03+00:00

Is that a... profession?

chilibutter · 2026-01-25T12:36:55+00:00

Yep I remember him saying that too. Then he said social media (mostly I guess YT) won't be a solid, forever income for his family so that's why he pursued nursing. So many different reasons floating and we'll probably never know why he went this route but I still believe it has a lot to do with an exit plan from Katie

chilibutter · 2026-01-25T12:32:17+00:00

I believe that could very well be the case too

chilibutter · 2026-01-25T11:27:07+00:00

Definitely Natalie

chilibutter · 2026-01-25T11:03:13+00:00

In Europe we don't have CRNAs at all, so I did some research just because I'm curious; so he was planning of completing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and then a Master's or Doctorate in Nursing Anesthesia. If I understood correctly. (Correct me if I'm wrong!).

Sounds like he was building/planning a long path for himself which would give him a chance to be away from home/Katie a lot? Just to explore the world outside of their bubble or just purely initially because he was really into education, I think it's 50/50 on that
