    1. Yes, all the Bates like to celebrate life events with parties, and because there are so many of them they have many reasons to party.

    2. I think it's the partying that makes Josie look a bit older than her age. My husband thought she was in her 30s!

    3. 9:57, what is this "partying" you're talking about?

  8. Josie is lovely, with such great style. She does look like a woman in her 30's though, probably it's having kids so close together. Lovely!

    1. Actually she looks really young to have two kids. How old are you?

    2. Funny, I think she definitely looks like she's in her 20s.

    3. This is strangely like the comment that said Whitney looked older and it was probably because she had 4 kids.

    4. I do believe too much makeup makes you look older.

    5. I think it's the makeup that ages her. Plus the hair color, it's overprocessed.

  9. Seriously? No one’s gonna comment on how crazy her arm looks where she’s been photoshopped at the waist? It’s all I can see!!

  10. I honestly wonder just how long it takes each of these long haired-perfectly coiffed and made up women to get ready for the day? Does anyone know? Who is minding their multiple children as they are in the bathroom getting themselves all made up? It's quite over the top IMO, and just show "offey" at this point.

    1. Oh, please. If they didn't fix themselves up people would say it's too bad they don't have time to do hair and makeup because they have kids. I don't think the appearance shaming is helpful.

    2. 😂 so true. I can see it now. One photo of a Bates woman without makeup and the whole blog explodes with “Is she being abused”, “what’s wrong with her”, “is she depressed”, or “all those kids are just to much for her”.

    3. They seem to have husbands that are home all the time!

    4. 8:00, do you not watch their show? Their husbands very clearly work.

      Delete
    5. 8:00, they show the husbands coming home from work or sometimes at work.

    6. I would hope no one would misuse the term "abuse" in that way. No one thinks that a lack of makeup relates to abuse.

      Delete
    7. Likely the perfectly coiffed photos are not an accurate picture of how they look on a regular basis.

  11. The people on here who have nothing to say but complaining really need to find something to do with their time. The very few who do this seem to be very negative people and the Bates family and the people added by marriage are very positive people.
    If you don’t like the family go troll somewhere else!

  12. Geez happy whatever to the entire family. Josie is very pretty young very young mom. In this family this is normal. I agree with some viewers I wish they would wait to get married to enjoy young adulthood, without a spouse and several children. Not sure what the rush is all about. Lawson has it right. Wait… my question is let’s take intimacy out of equation and would they wait to marry?? I am happy that the some of the girls are getting educated and work outside the home .

    1. Almost all of them have finished their educations before getting married. If they want to start life with their loves and enjoy more years of being married, that's their prerogative.
