1000-lb Sisters fans have grown frustrated with Amy Slaton's husband Michael Halterman and his attitude toward parenting in recent episodes of the series. While Amy has been giving viewers a tough time, they believe Michael is worse as they watched the newest season of the TLC docuseries. Even with the couple recently having welcomed their second son Glenn on the show, Michael has been a polarizing figure to viewers.
Amy married Michael during 1000-lb Sisters season 1, and has spent the last several years getting healthier alongside her husband and children. Now, with two small children to raise and family difficulties to deal with, Amy has been looking for support in her husband. Michael. Unfortunately for 1000-lb Sisters' Amy Slaton, he has not been providing much help or support to his wife or children, even when asked to do so.
What Have 1000-lb Sisters Fans Said About Michael Halterman?
After welcoming his younger son Glenn, Michael contracted COVID-19 and needed to be isolated from the family. While this was understood, after quarantining and testing negative, Michael still hadn't been there for Amy after her C-section. With Amy and Michael's family in attendance at a party in a recent episode, Michael stood idly by while Amy cared for the kids and ultimately broke down in tears. In a Reddit thread started by u/AutoModerator, one fan explained, "it infuriated me watching Michael do nothing to help while Amy had a mental breakdown," while another user, u/kelsnuggets commented, "Michael was completely helpless and did absolutely nothing to help."
Why Are 1000-lb Sisters Fans Frustrated With Michael?
Michael has been frustrating to 1000-lb Sisters fans for his lack of commitment and support during a difficult adjustment period for his and Amy's family. While both Amy and Michael were excited to welcome baby Glenn to the family, going from one young child to two is hard enough without the added complications their family faced. Michael was unable to help Amy in the first several days of Glenn's life after his COVID-19 diagnosis. When he got better, Amy was still doing prohibited heavy lifting after her C-section and taking care of the kids on her own. While Amy was taking care of the couple's children, her own health started to suffer. As Amy's priorities have shifted, her attention to her own health has waned, and she has found herself gaining weight. Without Michael's support, she will not be able to focus on her own health to get herself back in order.
With fans irritated at Amy's husband Michael, all eyes will be on him as the season continues on to see if his behavior improves. While it is clear that Amy has to prioritize herself whenever possible, she would likely be able to do so more easily if Michael could help her out with their children and her other responsibilities. With 1000-lb Sisters season 4 continuing to air episodes, time will tell if Michael's attitude changes.
