Michael Keilen always has a few interesting answers when she does Q&As

I don't think I've ever heard about their miscarriage before, at least not in specific terms. That makes me all the more sad that people constantly bug her about kids. I'm not sure if I've ever heard her say that IVF isn't a medically viable option for her either.

The fighting one got me though lol, not that I don't believe them bc they don't seem like confrontational people. It's just wild to me that you could live with someone so long and never hear them talk with strong emotion.

#or that itd make someone immediately break down but i guess that tracks for Michael #michael keilen #michaela keilen #Brandon keilen #fundie instagram

Michaela definitely has the worst Bates fashion sense for me. Whenever she chooses an outfit it sometimes ends up looking like a nightdress. I will use that pink dress she likes to wear as an example.

[fundiesarefunny]

Did Michaela Bates announce something regarding her fertility? She made an insta post and I missed something I think

#bringing up Bates #michaela keilen #michael keilen #michael bates

[fundiefun]

I had a dream last night that Michaela was pregnant with a baby girl called Harlow! It was so weird seeing her with a bump

i hope she and brandon will be able to become parents. if not biologically, than through adoption or foster to adopt. the poor girl only ever wanted to be a mama and was told she would be as soon as she got married— and it’s not happening. poor thing.

#michaela keilen #tw: infertility #brandon keilen #fundiefun asks #fundie dreams

[fortheloveofallthatsfundie]

Y’all can hate on Brandon all day long but I have never felt more emo than when I watch his proposal to Michael. Holy shit, he was/is one of the most logically sound, nerdy but cute guys ever. And I would only be so happy if my future husband put as much effort into a proposal as he did with his.

#ive had some wine tho so be kind #brandon keilen #bringing up bates #michael keilen #bub recap #michaela keilen

[fundies-and-brimstone]

Ok so she’s clearly not as stylish as her sisters and it’s been really quiet around her lately and obviously she and Brandon have terrible views (I think I’m just gonna stop with that disclaimer, we all know and it seems we all agree on this) - but I think Michael’s so pretty and much more importantly, I’m honestly SO excited for her to get her nursing degree, GET THAT EDUCATION GIRL!

Bates Family 10 Year Challenge - Pt 1

Okay friends, some the old pics for the Bates spouses were a little harder to find. For the sake of a side-by-side comparison, if I couldn’t find a spouse photo in that 2008-2010 range I’ll include a photo of the Bates kid in whatever year I have for their spouse, rather than 10 years ago. Sorry if that’s confusing. Some of the pictures will be lower quality too just because that’s what I had available

Same as Duggars, credit to @wtffundiefamilies​ for most of the throwback Bates photos. 

Zach (20), Whitney (16) -> Zach (29) Whitney (25), Bradley (4), Kaci (2)
