Michelle was probably shocked that it's happening after 30 grandchildren. She was probably thinking it would never happen at this point.

Isaiah Bates is in a relationship with some girl named Sarah, based off a post from Reddit.

For what it's worth, as I haven't seen it mentioned yet:

The day the Bus Fam posted about touring Sailboat Fam's boat (May 6th), I distinctly remember a redditor commenting in at least 2 places that they had filed a CPS report. That they recognized the place the Lotts were parked and reported that detail. Their comments were quickly deleted, as I recall. 

Who knows if the redditor was telling the truth, and that if they did really report, if CPS turned it into an investigation. But I am pretty confident that if this WAS the source, the investigation wouldn't have started prior to May 6th.

He probably needed to at least give a partial payout to Kim so she could buy her boat (which was a crazy odd choice).

Boat: a hole in the water you throw money into.

Forgot where I read that but it's kind of true in a lot of cases.

She doesn’t seem quite as public about their relationship as she did back then.

No surprise really, given how much shit gas gone down in this series/family. If she has any sense and isn't just looking for the limelight she'll stay out of that mess. I think if the girlfriend was a paid actress she'd be on camera more, not less. Creating drama and storylines.

On the one hand I agree with them that the social support is inadequate, and that detailing your medical needs shouldn't have to happen

It would definitely have to happen if they wanted support based on their medical needs from the state though. Why on earth should I believe some rando on the internet when they tell me they can't work, without any proof? They can claim all they want and I won't care or challenge them but when they want me to give them money? Yep, I do indeed want to see some kind of proof they legit need what they say they need or I will put my money toward another one of the thousands of other desperate pleas. There are so many in genuine need: why would I give my money to them and not the dog with the piece of ham on its face?
