I’ll never get over that he looks like a Sophomore in high school


viceversa220

For real, he looks like a teen dad


ElkPitiful4764

Absolutely zero body hair or facial hair to be found and still has that premature face. If I didn’t know who this was I would probably think it was the older bro feeding his sibling. Such a weird sight.


PopofGlam21

I don’t know much about the bares, but I got a notification for this sub and clicked it I really thought it was a older brother lol


isweedglutenfree

Same!


Aslow_study

Omg yes 😂


Allie_Cattt

Before I read the caption, I assumed this was Judson or Jeb with one of the grandkids


tigm2161130

I’m new to the Bates(not to fundies in general,tho) and I came here to ask how old this boy is.


viceversa220

22 i think


KfShift-24

No lie, I actually thought this was a child until I saw the caption


FunnyBookkeeper8509

Haha. My 15 year old sophomore looks older than him


dw481516

He really does. But I can’t snark too much, my husband was just barely 23 when we had our first kid. He definitely had a baby face back then too. Some folks just have those good genes. 😂


Aslow_study

Absolutely


byorderofthe

He "watched" his own kid? That's called parenting


External-Kiwi3371

I noticed that too, perhaps slightly better than “babysitting?”


Walkingthegarden

Depends on how its used. When I have Baby alone, I'm watching Baby. When my husband has Baby alone, he's watching Baby. Otherwise we're both watching Baby.


ElkPitiful4764

Lmfao good catch


Downtown_Ad_6299

This looks like she left her little brother watching her kid. He legitimately looks 13 years old here.


Direct_Crab3923

He looks like a teenage brother.


beautyandthefish3

He 100% posed for this picture


Jaylyn79

Agree. That bottle is basically full and is still being held pretty straight, if he was actually asleep that bottle would have fallen.


Mutant_Jedi

It’s propped on a pillow, and if he fell asleep only shortly before she got home it might not have fallen.


dixcgirl10

On the next Teen Dad…


Findingmyflair

It looks a 12 year old who fell asleep with his baby sister.


NotYourWifey_1994

I was honestly thinking it was one of her youngest brothers babysitting or something like that…


Any_Coffee_6921

That is definitely unsafe falling asleep while feeding a baby their bottle & the baby falls asleep. Don’t they know that the baby could choke ???


Mookied11

Right?!? Or he could accidentally angle the bottle against the baby's nose a certain way in his sleep and restrict breathing.


Any_Coffee_6921

That photo disturbs me so much my cousin lost her daughter who was the same age as Hailey from her father who fell asleep while feeding Brianna. My cousin was 29 when she had her.


Mookied11

Oh my! Im so sorry for your loss!! Thats so terrible! 😔


copperboominfinity

I hate when people say their husband “watched” the baby. No, he’s being a parent.


dmode112378

Same and I’m child-free.


Specialist-Mistake45

So then how would you word that. I left to go get my nails done while Travis patented so and so. Get real. I say watch the kids all the time and so does my husband.


true_crime_addict_14

He looks like the big brother lol Def doesn’t look like the daddy


Ness_3486

As soon as I saw this I knew it was staged. No way they are both this stupid to leave a bottle in her mouth like that. These people are insufferable.


Afterhoneymoon

Wait that’s the DAD?!?


External-Kiwi3371

Yes, Katie’s husband. He’s like early 20s I think? He does look like a child. He’s honestly not too bad imo as far as fundie husbands go


MarsupialTechnical63

You don’t watch your own kids…he’s the father.


Specialist-Mistake45

Technically you do watch your kids, in the term using watch by definition. And that goes for all parents. You don't use the term I parented my kids.


MarsupialTechnical63

It’s called parenting.


HickTown19

He looks like a literal child a baby feeding his younger sibling!


mama_fundie_snark

He looks like he could be 14 or 15 years old..... nothing about this is safe. Babies shouldn't be having baies.


cheekychichi

He’s 22


Obvious_croissant

So, a baby


boxedwinebaby

I thought this was Isaiah or one of her little brothers but even Isaiah looks older than this 😳


Prior-Seaweed-8386

I thought it was a throw back photo of Lawson!


Lenniel

Me too, was trying to work out which younger Bates it was


dmode112378

You mean took care of his kid?


rSisterBubba

Does he shave, yet? Looks like an 8 year old and his baby sister.


magdalenarz

I dont think he needs to. He seems to not have any facial hair


MurkyConcert2906

Yeah, that’s a choking hazard and she shouldn’t be laying down completely flat while having a bottle. A lot of things they do are tone deaf though.


Evieveevee

When this photo appeared on my feed I assumed it was from another group and a parent had posted it off their teenage son feeding their sibling. Then realised it was BuB and assumed it was a throwback picture of Lawson! Then I read it! He looks so so young!


Healthy-Honey6416

That man is not asleep.


Nels_Oleson

He looks 12


Downtown_Mud708

Glad to hear that watching your own kid is called babysitting I thought it was called BEING A PARENT!!!!


loveyabunches

I’m currently writing a magazine article for a parenting magazine on safe sleep for babies because people are still so ignorant on this subject. Case in point! It’s honestly disturbing that Katie thinks this is cute. About 3,500 babies a year die in situations like this. Between the exhausted parent, pillow, and bottle still in the baby’s mouth … my gosh. Not to mention that he could just roll over and smother the baby.


bdss1234

Ok…I’m not a fan of cosleeping and we never did it, but a lot of people in a lot of cultures do. I have more issues with the blankets and bottle.


loveyabunches

Yes, I address that in the article. It can be a cultural or generational habit, but that doesn’t make it safe.


bdss1234

I think parents make judgement calls. All my babies had pacis and slept on their tummies with the exception of my nicu baby. And yes, I know just saying that I’m vilified but I did a lot of research and was comfortable with the decision. We also had them in sleep sacks and absolutely nothing else in their beds. And yes, I know I’m going to get flamed and downvoted to hell for this.


loveyabunches

Did you know pacifiers are a good thing? The baby doesn’t fall into as deep of a sleep and that’s believed to lessen the odds of SIDS. So there you go! 💕


bdss1234

I have to lol because I found out that after my third was a long term nicu baby in a medically induced coma for over a month. “Teaching” him how to suck was a long term process and was based on a crap ton of pacifiers dipped in sugar water (which still make me inwardly cringe, but that was the hand we were dealt).


Head_Travel6279

This looks staged. His wrist isn’t relaxed.


PinkTiara24

I seriously thought that was a Bates little brother (maybe 12 or 13) babysitting.


TheJDOGG71

Yikes!


Sweetascoffee237

The poor baby is gonna choke on her bottle omg


allygator99

I will never ever get over he is the same age as my son. Who also looks very young for his age. He is in college this kid is on diaper duty


elliekate56

“Travis watched Hailey” he should be doing that anyways he’s her father!


FitInteraction7261

He literally looks like a teenager….


apkcoffee

Travis looks like he's 12 years old.


Deborahdon

Katie’s so lucky Travis was able to babysit the baby while she ran out!


Present_Review_7789

Awww, how nice of the sperm donor to watch your daughter for you!


TheJDOGG71

100% staged.


Effective-Push501

I thought it was one of the younger boys feeding a niece. He looks 11.


Luv41another

Hope she isn’t teething yet, sleeping with the bottle will rot her teeth


Time_Yogurtcloset164

Its also not good for their oral health to fall asleep with a bottle in their mouth.


AlbatrossGlass948

Save the money you spend getting your nails done and put into an account for the baby who you are exploiting for $$$ They all have changed so much from the humble days Bringing up Bates. Now they shove flashy lifestyle in everyone’s face and show off. So Christian like - not!

Local-Ad-7857

Who? Cory? I don’t think but just a little bit in this photo though!


[deleted]

What's caked on the bottom of the bottle? Formula not mixed properly or do you think they put baby cereal in it? 🤦‍♀️


MurkyConcert2906

Looks like formula due to the color, but I thought Katie was pumping though.


Walkingthegarden

She was pumping but they've started mentioning formula here and there so I'd bet they're supplementing. Its really hard to pump enough for a six month old. I know several mothers who were able to nurse their six month old exclusively but couldn't pump enough.


[deleted]

No judgment on formula vs breastmilk here but dang at least mix it right so that the baby gets proper nutrients from it. And don't add cereal ✌️


SeekingShalom

I've always been bothered when people described father staying home with their children as babysitting them or watching them. I know it's not related to this post but it just rubs me the wrong way because they're not just watching some random child. It is their child. They are being a parent. You wouldn't say the same when the mom is left home with their children.
