Carlin Puzzles Fans With Another Expensive Trip With Family

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media react to Carlin’s upcoming Disney cruise trip with her family. She revealed that Evan’s parents will come along for the trip. But some people aren’t impressed by Carlin’s decision. According to some, Carlin should’ve focused more on homeschooling her kids. Others agree and point out that it’s still school season, yet she’s already having vacations with her children. Some even mocked Carlin, saying that she’s using the money that her kids earned by constantly posting them online.

“I live in Canada, school isn’t over where I am. There’s still 2 more weeks and it’s the final exam period, that’s why I am flabbergasted with the trip.”
“Didn’t you know? The homeschool Bates kids are all 2-3 grade levels ahead, they need zero more education. /s I mean theoretically this is summer break time but these kids could very likely need some serious educational enrichment.”
“Zade desperately needs speech therapy !! This is child neglect on Carlin and Evans part!!”
“Seeing as they show every moment of their lives, and they’ve never shown any home schooling, I think we can safely assume it isn’t happening.”
“I totally believe in homeschooling but I do think they need to be randomly tested to see if they are close to grade level.”
“Are Disney cruises hard or easy with young kids? I’d imagine it’s exhausting but idk maybe it’s an easier vacation than an island or beach?”
