Alyssa and John: Lunch with Lurch

[GeeGolly]

I remember Janie and Alyssa having a conversation - maybe shortly after she was married. I don't remember the details but Alyssa was saying something like she doesn't want a lot of kids and Janie told her there's a way to control that.

In that moment I really though Alyssa was going to be the one Bates who stopped at 2. I wonder if they would have stopped if their second kid was a boy.

 Is Rhett going to the same place as Allie so she can take care of him?  

I don't think so. Allie seemed way too happy, which makes me think she's not stuck with Rhett for the week.

I hope she gets a Rhett-free week.  She deserves a vacation too.

I'm surprised Prince Rhett isn't going with A&J. He did last year - though I realize last year he was only a few months old. He went with them to ATL for 1-2 nights where they stayed in a nice hotel and took in a Braves game, while waxing poetic about how Rhett would play for the Tampa Bay Rays 🙄. Then they went from there to South Carolina for a few days to introduce Rhett to Bill/Jane. Funny how they never take the girls on vacation, anywhere. But hell they think the girls are lucky for even getting to go to Costco.

And let's be real staying with other people is just the vacation the girls need. I imagine the kids are being split between grandmas + John's sisters in law as I think all of John's brothers live in Orlando. Likely Rhett IS going someplace with one of this sisters, whether Ally or not; unless they've arranged for 1 person to just be in charge of the baby. But I can see Ally being happy even if she is wherever Rhett is bc she's likely old enough to understand that the ADULTS who've agreed to take her and Rhett/whichever younger sib will take care of her and the younger. Meaning SHE will get to be a kid just like her siblings will. She won't be putting lunch together for her sisters, nor doing what Rhett needs, nor being barked at for the laundry. She'll just get to play and be a kid and oh yeah likely when it's her turn to speak or play a game or do an activity, the adults in charge won't just turn away like Alyssa routinely does.

Jane has been very vocal w Alyssa re baby making from the start. After she got married and didn't want a ton of kids, Jane mentioned birth control. When she did have a daughter yearly and was pregnant again with #3 and was swearing that was it, she wasn't gonna end up having 4 girls . . . Jane said you're just like your parents, I've heard that before etc. So yeah I think Nurse Jane would have NO criticisms at all if Alyssa said - 4 girls + 1 boy, we are DONE. All this brother for Rhett BS comes from G&K, not from Bill/Jane.

But let's be real - Rhett is 1, he needs a brother, A&J are going away alone. You know they are thinking baby making - even though A&J both seem to hate their lives and Alyssa looks ROUGH lately - IDK if it's a health thing or unhappiness thing or if she should just check in with the cardiologist to make sure all is still well or what.

I wish whoever took the girls would take video of them and post online....I hope and pray those girls are exposed to NORMAL...at least in some capacity...maybe allie will see a MOM taking care of her kids and Allie can sleep through the night and eat in peace and not be permanently deformed by carrying a baby cocked on her little hip all day...Alyssa is my least favorite bates ...she is lazy ( unless it's on camera for clicks)....and selfish....she was the cook at home growing up -- but we now know allie makes the breakfasts while alyssa sleeps in and lunch is whatever out of a package on a paper plate...sheesh....crossing fingers the girls get to see some real family in some way...

I think they are going to Utah. Apparently Alyssa always wanted to go there.

Hope the girls enjoy themselves staying with friends or family.

Wonder how Kelly was before her older girls could be parentified?  Did she look haggard and hate her life the way Alyssa seems to?  I am tempted to say bed, made, lie but the kids shouldn't pay for their parents dumbassery.

I think they’ll have at least one more pregnancy. If they stop now then all the people who said they were only trying for a boy would be right, so they have to try at least once more to prove us wrong.

But if it's a girl, we'll just hear about how Prince Rhett needs a BROTHER. And they'll keep trying.

Alyssa and John had a date night. She was raving about her dress from Bates Sisters Boutique. It looks like the same dress Whitney was wearing a few weeks ago. Admittedly it looks better on Alyssa because she is more petite than Whitney but it still reminds me of the dresses Lucy and Sally wear in Peanuts.

Puffy sleeves, smocked bodice, pouffy tiered skirt and a big bow in the back. So busy and it might look better if the skirt was longer, but I doubt it.

Sorry I just fixed it. Stupid phone and autocorrect. It drives me nuts. Randomly started changing “he” to “Henderson” lately. 🤬 

[BitterApple]

I think the dress would be cute on anyone 18 and under, but on women pushing 30, it looks absurd.

BSB has really gone off the rails this year.

A staff and a couple of sheep and she's Little Bo Peep for Halloween.

Way too juvenile for anyone old enough to vote.

It also seems to have that weird balloon/curtain ruffle that Carlin's most recent BSB had.  Looks dumb, not interesting.

Heehee

[BitterApple]

Nothing flatters the figure like a giant, pouffy ruffle right around the midsection! 🤣🙄

Alyssa looks ridiculous in that dress. I don't know who is designing dresses that look like little girl dresses for grown women but of all of the dumb trends this is the dumbest. My 14 year old granddaughter wouldn't wear something like this. Is she trying to revert back to her childhood when she didn't have fancy party dresses or do these fundie men get some kick out of their wives dressing like little girls? Or was she really going to a costume party and not to dinner?

Check out how she dressed for the wedding where her girls were flower girls. She had on a floor length slinky gown while the other women at the wedding were wearing regular day dresses. She has no sense of how to dress appropriately for. her age or for the occasion. 

[GeeGolly]

Pretty sure Katie and Callie are wearing very similar dresses here. And all the younger sisters in the other pic. And the bright orange ones are close, just longer.

Evidently it wasn’t just a regular date night, it was their 10th anniversary.

So, she decided to dress like it was her 10th birthday to celebrate?

29 years old. Married 10 years. Has 5 kids 9 and under.

It was for a belated mother's day dinner so she decided to dress like a 5 year old little girl. 

[BetyBee]

Maybe Alyssa is taking her cue from the way her daughters dress for date nights with Daddy.

[HoneyBeach]

I think the dress is beautiful and I think Alyssa is beautiful, but I have to agree, it's too young for anyone older than 20. If it had a single layer skirt, it would work much better. I see a lot of these dresses on social media. Usually with cowboy boots, big hair, and tons of accessories!

[zenme]

Yes. She looks like she's about to go square dancing.
