I have been a maternal child nurse for many years and have never seen a mom go through labor with heatless curlers and lipgloss like Josie Balka. Wild just wild.

this is how I learned josie went into labor lol

i always get chewed out when i comment on the Bates girls and the way they do full faces of makeup/curl and style their hair when they realize they're going into labor. and it's not that I think it's wrong to want to look "good" in labor/post labor photos or anything, and the Bates lives in particular revolve around visual media, I understand that.

there's just something so uncomfy about how they get ready for labor like they do for their constant photoshoots for me idk. like going into this wildly personal and life changing event with the content you're going to make about it at the forefront of your mind just feels like you're taking something from the experience somehow...... and I don't mean that in the sense that everyone should always have the same experience though you know?

again disclaimer in no way am I criticizing women who put on some makeup for labor photos or even just to feel more put together or something. that's not the same for me as someone like Josie who is doing this all as like, pre-production for her social media labor videos that she is going to make money off of.

#watch josie have a GRWM to go into labor #honestly it gets harder and harder for me to take family vloggers seriously by the day #it's just weird and dystopian feeling to me #and again im just talking about people like Josie or the labrants or something not the moms who just share photos for their friends and #family just to nip that in the bud too lol unless you're a prominent family vlogger i am not talking about you #josie balka

In other news, Josie confirms that she had an IUD up until last year. It was removed due to severe hormonal acne

Not Technically Shade But... Josie Balka had an IUD

While talking about her adult acne on Instagram today, Josie Bates Balka revealed she used to have an IUD. While this is not directly shade, she is dramatically going against the beliefs of the IBLP where her father Gil Bates is on the board...

It has been a while since Josie has demonstrated her lack of understanding of carseat safety. FF seats need shoulder straps at or above the shoulders. These are clearly below. And there is severe overlap between the seats. Don’t get me started on the lap infants/the fact they checked their carseats.

I know they are cute, but safety trumps cute. Every. Forking. Time.

I'm also around katie and travis's age, and i also agree that they seem to have different priorities. I also think that she wants kids because carlin and josie have kids, and she wants to fit in with them as they're sort of clumped together in age. I'm kinda worried about her because a lot of things seem to go wrong with her, like the earring thing and her wedding dress. It's probably because that's what she's willing to share on social media though. Idk. Maybe it's because we sort of knew evan and kelton, but travis seemed to have sprung out of nowhere (idk how long they were courting, or engaged, or getting to know each other). Maybe this is how people around carlin's age felt when carlin got married :p

I agree on all points there although what's the earring thing?? Someone enlighten me @fundie Tumblr 🤣

I think you're spot on with the carlin and josie comment-they're all very similar in personality and I see katie wanting to join the 'cutesy mum' team. I feel like the fact that she went from living with a bazillion people to being home alone all day made everything so much worse and understandably so!

Idk to me they just seem like two people who could be friends but not two people who *get* each other like carlin/evan or zack/whit. And I'm worried that all those factors may lead to her being unhappy, but hopefully we're both wrong here (I still lost respect for her after the dog breeding thing tho..)

People in carlin and josie's age-did you all feel like this too when they got married?

Reddit thinks Josie is pregnant because “her face is fuller” and while I fully expect a pregnancy announcement from her and Kelton this year I don’t want Reddit to be right

Hey Josie. Novel idea. Parent your children and teach them appropriate table behaviour, because this sure as heck isn’t it.

Sorry y’all. Feeling really snarky right now because this is something I am really passionate about. I would never tolerate my kid doing this. At all. Even at a young age. If you are old enough to be at the table, you are old enough to sit properly.
