It's really not your business. Anything they let us see about their lives is privilege not something we are entitled to. Believe it or not privacy is still important for ppl who are on TV. They don't owe you any explanations. The older I get the more I realize that false assumptions and wrongly applied judgments can ruin my opinions of not guilty ppl. If they want you to know the details, they will give them. If not, mind your own! If you're so perfect, step up and show the rest of us how to get there. ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-62889574313202968682018-06-22T17:44:01.104-05:002018-06-22T17:44:01.104-05:00Let's see, they invite 1,000 people to their w...Let's see, they invite 1,000 people to their weddings, but not their great aunts and uncles?

They used to live in that tiny house and obviously didn’t have a lot of money. Why didn’t the family members come see them? There are not as many of them who would have had to travel and since they are older, they should have had the funds to travel. It always works both ways when families don’t see each other.

However, it doesn't explain why Gil and family hadn't visited them in South Carolina since the Bates travel quite often.<br />Some of the older Bates kids had met the aunts before. I didn't hear when they last saw each other, but Jackson was introducing himself as if it was his first time meeting them.

They have always claimed to be so 'close' and how family is EVERYTHING to them after God. So, why is it that a whole section of their family has been left out? They seem to travel around quite a bit so there is no excuse not to have visited them before. I think they have meant all these years that the only 'real family' are the people living in their own home and have elected to segregate themselves all these years from their blood family who have lived differently than themselves, other than Gil's parents. (who also live differently). How do they justify that they have never MET any of these people?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-25775499817894949192018-06-21T21:46:56.317-05:002018-06-21T21:46:56.317-05:00I’m disappointed!!!
