Paines on Memories and Marriage

Erin and Chad Paine are still in their rental house but are planning to move before Christmas. They haven't shared where they are moving, but stay tuned for that announcement. In the meantime, they just filmed a video featuring eight questions, mostly focused around family Christmas memories and marriage.

  1. Hi, I know this is off topic, but I heard a rumor that Bringing up Bates was coming back on UP tv. Does anyone know if this is true? I hope so. Thanks.

    1. I looked it up and I haven't seen anything. Just that the show was leaving Tubi Streaming Service.

    2. No, it's not true. Plus, half of the kids are social media creators now. TV is the medium of yesterday, nowadays it's all about social media.

    3. @2:52 No, it's network TV (ABC, NBC, CBS) that's struggling against original content created for (TV) streaming services like Netflix or Amazon, the way cable TV cut into network TV when it arrived. TV is not going away. What does everyone have in their living rooms and family rooms? Huge TV's. What's on sale on Black Friday? Huge TV's. TV is as popular as it always was.

    4. Don't need BATES or Duggars on TV please ever again. Let them all get private lives

    5. Social media is what you do when you can't make it on TV but you still want attention.

  2. I hope they're able to buy this time instead of renting. They put a lot of work into their current home & now have to move. Good luck to Chad & Erin! They have a beautiful family.

  3. How do they not work??? Seriously? I guess the house they live in just materializes out of thin air. C’mon, people.🙄

    1. Maybe unlike the Duggars, the Bates kids got money from the show without having to make a federal case out of it? But that doesn't excuse you from not working while you're young and healthy. Money doesn't last forever if you don't add to it and you do things like buy a house. Even living off investments, you'd need a million invested untouched to make 6 figures profit in a good year, before taxes. (I'm looking at 12% gain this year, conservatively invested.)

    2. Why do you care? Would you like to explain your personal life to all of us? This isn't the "National Enquirier". It's a website meant to enjoy hearing about what the family chooses to share. That doesn't mean everything in their lives is for you or anyone else to disect and judge. How many times does this have to be stated? They're good people. Leave them alone if you have nothing nice to say.

    3. Hello. Chad answered that question in this video. They do work.

      Delete
    4. @1:31 These people had a TV show and wanted us (still want us) to watch them and listen to what they have to say! Of course it's then fair to question them and their choices. They don't want to be "left alone." If they did, they wouldn't make video after video after video.

    5. Yes, c'mon, people. Obviously he works.

  4. Hmmm…they will be in Tennessee before Christmas. They are from Tennessee. Their families live in Tennessee. Trace said a few times Chad “might” be helping them with construction work in Tennessee. I wonder where Chad and Erin are moving. It’s a real head-scratcher!

    1. I thought Chad’s family was not from TN?

    2. But Chads parents live in Oklahoma.

  5. I know wherever they end up will be in GOD’s plan. They seemed happier in Tennessee.

    1. How do you know that? They said Florida was God’s plan. Then people were all in an uproar because Chad and Erin did so much work on the house and the lease wasn’t renewed. The owner of the home certainly has the right to their own home, but why would it be “God’s plan” to go to Florida where Chad and Erin claimed they were meant to be after “lots of praying” and then they have to come up with another “plan from God” to move back to Tennessee?

      Delete
    2. Anon 2:39. Exactly. It doesn't seem like much of a "plan" when they have to keep moving around with so many children.

      Delete
    3. Unless the tenants have a financial discount for rent when renovating a rental home, it is never a good idea to sink money into a rental home because the house is not yours. You leave all the work and cost behind. I hope these two were smart enough to receive a good discount on the rent for the work Chad did on this home. I hope they learned from the previous rental this lesson.

  6. Chad works very hard! And Erin is very busy too with their online business!

    1. Chad works hard at doing what? Since they put their personal life on the internet, they should explain eactly what they do instead of being so vague and evasive.

      Delete
    2. It's not very wise to let total strangers know all the details. He's allowed to pick and choose what he wants to share about his life.

      Delete
    3. He wasn't vague and evasive. He's an independent contractor: renovation, construction, that kind of stuff. My neighbor does that and he makes $50 an hour and he supports seven kids doing that.

      Delete
    4. @7:36 Funny, can't seem to find Chad's contractor's license in any database. If he's "independent," then he certainly needs his own license. Fifty bucks an hour is the minimum you'd need to support a family that size. It's nowhere near "riches" (tech desk jobs will get you 2 or 3 times that much, for instance). I'm also curious about how you know what your neighbor makes per hour because most people don't share that personal info.

      Delete
    5. 7:36, What state is Chad licensed in? If he's a contractor, he should have a license on public record. That's the way licensing works.

      Delete
    6. Nothing in Florida for Chad Paine or Paine Construction, nothing in TN, where else have they lived? If he's not licensed, then he's only able to do minimal jobs. Last photos he posted of a renovation were from 3 years ago.

      Delete
    7. @8:55 I know that's what he makes per hour because that's what he charges us when we hire him to do a job.

      Delete
    8. Anon 7:36. Chad has never said he's a licensed contractor or has any sort of license or certificate in the building trades. If he's doing "renovations" for others, it's without a buisness license which is illegal in Florida. All he ever says is that he "works in construction" which IMO is pretty vague and evasive as it doesn't explain how he supports his large family.

      Delete
    9. Just curious if some of y'all search your neighbors' and friends' info when you feel they haven't shared enough of the details of their life. Just because they post some things on the Internet, doesn't mean they owe anyone every detail. There are crazy people in this world and even families on YouTube have a right to decide what they want to keep private.

      Delete
    10. @3:44 He had social media that said "Paine Construction" and pictures of building/renovation, up until a few years ago. @12:21 Nothing is "private" about work licenses. The states record them and put them online on purpose, to protect the public when they hire any kind of contractor. You can't decide to keep that private. Along with builders, licenses for doctors, nurses, midwives, veterinarians, etc. are all in public databases. The medical ones even go so far as to tell you if disciplinary action has ever been taken. This is your tax dollars at work, so you have a right to know what's in the databases.

      Delete
    11. @9:17. I'm not saying licenses are or should be private. I'm just asking if the people in these comments research other people in their lives the way they do the Paines.

    12. Anon 7:37. When people put themselves forward on the internet like this family has, we SHOULD ask questions about them and their credentials.

  7. Good for them for seeking to change their diet to be more healthy/organic!!! Yes its hard becasue it is more expensive but in the long run its cheaper then doctor's bills from a poor diet lifestyle. We grow a lot of our own food and we hunt venison and buy local natural raised/fed beef and pork in bulk. We've managed to cut down on costs that way.

    1. There's no proof that you'll live longer or be "healthier" if you eat organic. After all the organic food recalls, I'm even more skeptical that it's "healthy."

      Delete
    2. 11:58, one of the chief benefits of organic is that it doesn't have toxic pesticides on it, and that is definitely good for you.

      Delete
    3. 8:46 Are you licking unwashed produce right in the field? I'm not. So I don't know where you're getting "toxic pesticides" from. How long would they even remain viable after they were sprayed? Because it could be months between a farmer's fruit buds and actual fruit in your kitchen. There'd be a lot of chemical breakdown in the meantime. For instance, "toxic" bleach starts to break down into salt and water within minutes of contact with organic matter or sunlight. Conventional farming is very regulated and what they use has to be approved for agriculture. You can't evade "toxic" things - they're everywhere around you. They're coming out of the back of your car and your lawn mower, and if you're using electric, then they're still in the batteries and the seats and the paint. "Organic" is a buzz word created to sell food with no real proof of health benefits behind it or extension of life expectancy. How about some nice all-natural "organic" hemlock? No thanks.

      Delete
    4. @11:58 GMO foods have adverse affects on one's health. Many chronic illnesses like allergies are linked to GMOs. And @8:46 is right, organic does not have residual herbicides and pesticides that studies have shown are bad for one's health. That's why organic is better. Its natural and has no chemicals sprayed on it.

      Delete
    5. @11:58 conventional farming is hard on the environment. It deforests the rainforest, messes up the soil's microorganisms, harms the oceans, the waterways and animals. Organic farming does not cause agricultural runoff that can be found in the ocean's animals. I buy organic not only for my health but to support the ocean and the rainforest. The more people go organic, the less farmers will farm conventionally and the less chemical runoff will go into the environment.

      Delete
    6. @9:17 There is no proof that food GMOs are unhealthy. There's no proof they cause allergies. Genetic modification is being used to edit the human genome to treat diseases. It's not some kind of conspiracy science.

      Delete
    7. We've been eating "modified" food for over 100 years. It was called hybridization back then. It was slow, not always able to target specific beneficial plant traits, and relied on cross-pollination, chemicals, and even radiation. (My grandfather worked on that at a university in the 1940's and 50's and wrote papers and textbooks about it.) Now we can modify plant genes faster, easier, and more specifically in a lab. There are no "adverse effects on one's health" from eating these foods. In fact, if you're buying something labeled simply "organic," it can, by law, contain GMO's. It has to say "100% organic" otherwise. It's easy, as a consumer, to be confused. It's also easy to believe poorly-run "studies" that want you to believe GMO food is bad, usually to sell you something you should be taking or eating instead.

      Delete
    8. No proof that gmos are unhealthy/cause allergies my eye. There are tons of studies many years long proving genetically modified food is bad for you. And hybridization and genetic modification are NOT the same thing. We've been eating GMOs since the 1990s. That's not over a hundred years. Americans spend the most on healthcare then most any other nation in the world. Why? because we are one of the sickest nations in the world. Why? Because of the food we eat. I was born before the advent of GMOs and i never had allergies as a child, but after a steady diet of GMOs now for twenty plus years I'm allergic to cats, latex and spring pollen (tree pollen in particular). Its only after i started going to non-gmo and all organic diet that my allergies have gradually began to lessen. Don't believe the lies of so called "poorly run studies". The companies who make their money on gmos won't stand for any nay sayers. And furthermore i understand that i have to buy products that say "Non-GMO verified". Organic means no agricultural chemicals were used in the growing process. Non-GMO means the food is natural and no genetic modification has taken place. To be strictly non-gmo and organic, you need to buy products that claim both. And i do that the best i can. I grow my own food to help my purpose. And lastly you all had better be careful about "editing" the human genome. I don't think human scientists can improve on what God created. You want to treat diseases? First change your diet. That will prevent ALOT of diseases. Second, treat diseases when they come with medicine, herbs, drugs if you want, but no genome editing!

      Delete
    9. 12:23 Ever wonder why people had chronic diseases and allergies BEFORE there were ever GMO's? It's like saying people have those now because of computers or rockets or Netflix. We may be better at identifying diseases and allergies now, but that doesn't mean we're better at pinpointing the exact cause! We keep looking for something to pin those on, but it's mostly guesswork. When I was a kid, we were told watching TV in front of the screen would "ruin" your eyes*, yet our feet were put in actual x-ray machines at the shoe store to check for fit**. Car seatbelts were supposed to be strangulation hazards in a crash and we'd be better off without them. When microwave ovens first came out, they were rumored to emit harmful radiation through the door or it would linger in your food and make you sick. Guesswork. Rumors. *Yet here we all sit in front of computer and phone screens, with our vision intact. **And we were allowed to play with the machines to see our siblings' bones while Mom was busy paying.

    10. @9:09 They are already treating sickle cell anemia with gene editing! It would be a HUGE insult to tell someone who has it to change their diet or take herbs instead!!!!! Welcome to the future of medicine. It's saving lives with that disease and others. My friend's daughter has CF. That's another disease they're trying to reverse with gene modification. I hope they succeed because it's a horrible thing to watch a child cope with. Cancers are also being studied for gene therapy. We need to find better cures for that. I'm sure we all know someone who has it or has had it.

      In other news, of course hybridization and gene editing are not the same technique - but they ARE for the same purpose, to improve a plant's ability to thrive or to produce food. Before we could splice genes, we could hybridize. It was slow and not always precise. Current method is better. Visit a crop science department of any major university and see. These people are feeding the world and getting plants ready to withstand climate change.
