On a recent episode of the reality show, Amy, who had just given birth to her second son, Glenn, joined her family for an outdoor picnic.
The joyous feast was interrupted by Amy’s eldest son, Gage, 2, who after eating decided to have a baby breakdown.
As the busy momma frantically tried to calm the poor child, her husband Michael continued eating, oblivious to the cries.
“It’s really hard because Gage is crying, Glenn is getting mad and wanting another bottle, And daddy aint doing s**t,” Amy later explained in a confessional, letting out a laugh.
“Sometimes I feel like I got three kids.”
But the laughter quickly turned to tears when Amy realized she was on her own.
“The boys started crying, and I’m trying to choose which one to give my attention to at that point and time,” she sobbed. “And I just felt like, how am I going to do this? How am I going to be a mother to two boys and not hurt one of their feelings? How am I going to differentiate from giving my time just to Gage to both of them now?”
Back at the picnic, eventually Amy’s sister Amanda came to the rescue, taking the teary tot away from her stressed-out mother.
FANS IN A FRENZY
Online, fans were livid with her husband’s lack of help.
“Tell Michael to get up and stop being lazy,” one person demanded. “Did you see Uncle Chris’ face when Amanda handed him the baby and Michael kept on eating? Help your wife.”
Another bashed: “I’d like to give your husband a word or two. The fact that he sat there, stuffing his face while you and the kids were struggling absolutely hit a raw nerve.
“I hope you set him straight after the cameras were turned off. He needs to do better.”
While a third added: “You need to get Michael to help you instead of just sitting there like a rock. He never helps and that is apparent with the episodes.
“You are a caring and loving mom don’t let anyone tell you differently.”
Others took the time to agree with the loving mother sentiment.
“Amy, I never miss an episode of your show. You made me cry when you were questioning if you are a good mom,” one follower shared. “You are absolutely a great mom!”
A second echoed: “You broke my heart when you cried and questioned your motherly skills. Honey, I think you are the best Mom. You have the greatest heart for Gage and Glenn.”
As a third noted: “My whole heart felt yours when you cried at the picnic. I think most moms have had moments of doubt, thinking how can we do all this. Your children’s reaction to your presence alone proves you’re a good mama and they love you.”
DROPPING DEAD WEIGHT
Amy may soon have to get used to raising the boys on her own, after leaving Michael.
As The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed, Amy has already moved out of the family’s Kentucky home with her two children.
According to the insider, Amy and her kids are now crashing with Tammy, who has returned to Kentucky from rehab.
The 1000-Lb Sisters insider said: “Amy says Michael is lazy and has been jealous of her attention toward the kids.
“They’ve been having trouble since last year.”
Amy and Michael have not yet filed for divorce in the state of Kentucky, The U.S. Sun can confirm.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Amy’s representatives for comment.
