But as far as this show goes, I hope it has a very long run for years yet. I would be very sad if it were no longer on my short list of weekly shows I never miss. I want all the Bates to know they are appreciated no matter what they read on this blog or in magazines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-57034862335707546702021-04-18T15:33:33.776-05:002021-04-18T15:33:33.776-05:00@8:24 and 1:43...Why do you post the same comments...@8:24 and 1:43...Why do you post the same comments? <br /><br />It is odd behavior and all but their one moment to have the lime-light. Try as we might to focus on an individual’s needs, I would think in a fam that large the quieter milestones in life may get overlooked, so these big moments are all encompassing and some of them seem hyper-excited and maybe all they have 🥲. It doesn’t mean people aren’t due their accolades, allowed to enjoy the moment or her less humble but sometimes in the rush to get to the finish line, staying in the moment is hard or forgotten. I also imagine there’s a lot of sharing and individual achievement or attention aside from engagement, wedding or a baby announcement might be overlooked as a sacrifice at times. She is young and sees the attention friends and other siblings have received and probably just wants that, too. Plus, a relationship is exciting.<br /><br />I was in the military and snuck a name plate under my class A jacket when I was first married while waiting for the official change, we all have little moments and show them differently. <br /><br />The hounding by the kiddos and her is a bit weird and rude though. It’s one thing to talk and shop for rings together a little to see what you like and have a budget for but that was akin to begging or something. I hope it was staged/scripted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-14515371301932942632021-04-18T12:43:39.511-05:002021-04-18T12:43:39.511-05:00Family is sacred and needs to be protected.

When Lawson and his girl are in TN, they have a chaperone. But when he is in LA, there doesn’t seem to be one. Perhaps it’s just a “house rule”. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-65175872902670809822021-04-18T08:33:48.977-05:002021-04-18T08:33:48.977-05:00@8:12...I think they get it from Kelly.

Reminding him of her birthday all year, grabbing at the gift, screeching over him with questions about the date instead of just seeming genuinely happy to see him again. I’m almost afraid to watch the rest of the episode for fear of when she’s going to try to smear food on him. If that’s her desperate opportunity to touch him, put Travis out of his misery and let them hold hands already.
