@HisElk1  I wonder if he's always been this way and we didn't know about it? He seems to be jealous of Amy doing anything without him. This summer I read that Amy's got a boyfriend and he's trouble, so it's tough to feel too bad for her. I feel bad for her sons. Amanda comes on so strong and can be helpful without being so intense. She needs to cool it. I was surprised to see their mom Darlene at Tammy's party. She's supposedly in her early 60's which is shocking to me.


@colliemom4 , if he was that way I sure didn't see it.  If Amy has a boyfriend, I wonder how she met him.   That's the last thing that Amy needs now IMO.   One would think she's quite busy with 2 small toddlers, unless she got a nanny.  I also wonder how she gets $ to pay one unless TLC pays well.  I feel for both of those kids as they grow up.  The whole family is so dysfunctional.  Amanda gets on my last nerve with her loud mouth and most of them have a potty mouth.  Those kids will grow up thinking that's the normal way of talking.

 

I saw their mom, Darlene and IMO, she looks to be in her 70's.  I wonder where their father is in this whole mess.

@HisElk1  I don't know how Amy met her boyfriend but he already moved in with her. I'm thinking social media but I can't say with certainty. I read that Tammy and Amy make anywhere from $1,000 to 10,000 per episode. Some of the other cast members aren't paid as much. Their bio dad passed away but they had a step dad for most of their lives they were close to. Unfortunately he passed away also.  

 

I don't know what happened with Michael and his job. I read that Amanda drives a school bus. Chris and his wife were McDonald's managers though I have no idea if they're still doing that but it's how they met. I'm not sure what Misty's occupation is.

 

I always thought that Michael was good to Tammy and she was certainly ungrateful to everyone. I also recently found out that he was married before and  has two other children so he's going to have to pay support on four kids and guess he'll need to find a job sooner than later. 

 

Yes they certainly are a dysfunctional bunch. I'm can't imagine how Amy's boys will turn out. She chases them but I'm doubtful they'll be disciplined.

Maybe that is why he no longer has a job. So he doesn't have to pay child support.
He would rather have Amy's bank card and control her money.

@drizzellla   I'm sure he would. Unfortunately for him, even if he's living on unemployment the state will take money out of his check or any govt. check he receives and give support to his children.

Re: New Season of Thousand Pound Sisters

 You all know Tammy's husband, Caleb, passed away a while back, right?

  Anyway, I never thought Tammy would EVER lose weight - she admitted she got up to 700+ lbs!

  Amy's a mess. She needs to shut up and take care of her kids, and stop criticizing Michael.

  He couldn't be a lazy person or he would've never pushed Tammy around in that wheelchair the way he did. He did have a job; don't know if he still does.

 They all need to stop screaming and yelling in front of Amy's kids.

 Amanda needs to shut up and stay out of Amy's marriage.

 Chris - I like him a lot, he's funny. I thought he looked sick on the show, though...

Re: New Season of Thousand Pound Sisters

I have never watched the show but how could someone get to 1,000 lbs without dying? That sounds like a death sentence. That is alot of overeating to the point of disgusting.

I'll be watching. I've been watching the show for years too. I want to see what happened between Amy and Michael. The preview looks pretty crazy. From what I understand Tammy and Amy are living together but not in the house Amy bought. I saw Amanda fighting Michael in the preview. Did anyone see that? 

 

 


@colliemom4  Yes, I saw that. Whoa. I wouldn't want Amanda to be mad at me. She's a tough cookie. (That's why I like her. LOL)

Re: New Season of Thousand Pound Sisters

Totally off topic, but considering Mama June was brough up in this thread, I read yesterday that her oldest daughter passed away earlier this month.  It came up on Instagram (why it was in my feed I have no idea).  In the event you are unaware, her daughter had a rare form of cancer and was diagnosed earlier this year.

 

She was setting up a Christmas gift fund for Anna's (is that her name?) children.

 

Did anyone else see this?

@faeriemoon  I didn't see anything about the fund but knew that Anna passed away. Yes Anna was her name. I did read that June has temporary custody of Anna's oldest daughter that is around 12 years old.

 

She has a younger daughter as well that went to live with her bio father. The girls had different dads. It's sad that they were separated. I don't know if the youngest child's bio dad will eventually take custody of her or what. I hope Mama June isn't exploiting the situation. I don't trust her.
