  • What is it like to be the 'Bringing Up Bates' mom of 19? I got to ask my mom some questions about how she managed to hold it all together, to cultivate a positive environment and invest into each of us 19 kids in what many might consider challenging or even chaotic upbringing.
    Kelly Jo Bates shares the impact that faith and being in God's Word has had in helping her as a wife and as a mother, identifying ways to engage faith as a family and grow together to see the blessings of raising up such a large family.
    I hope this conversation with my mom encourages you as it has encouraged me! We're thrilled to be able to share with you these conversations with our family members who were inspirational and instrumental in our lives!
    Love,
    Erin

    I'm 71. I listen to these wise words. My reminder to encourage moms to take your godly advise is this: you will not get a do-over! And it can be the saddest while you have to wait for the Lord to undo what you messed up.❤

    The world needs more mothers like Kelly. She is a special person you can tell a lot by a person s voice and the way they speak. She just sounds so comforting and like a soft place to fall. Her demeanor has definitely rubbed off on her children. What a special family you all have.

    Ms. Kelly, please please start your own channel. You have so much wisdom to offer. Your words have such conviction and the ability to help and to heal. We need more people like you in this world and we need more moms who have been through the years of raising children. I know you don’t want to be on camera but you have the ability through your meekness to change a whole generation. We are loosing women like you to a modern world. Thank you for considering it.

    I love Momma Bates outlook on negativity. I remember when I was pregnant feeling so sick and this one night my husband and friend from church wanted to go eat Mexican of all things. I really didn’t wanna go but I pushed myself and just getting out of the house and fellowshipping made me feel so much better!

    I so wish I had been raised by people like Kelly Jo and Gil Bates. You are such wonderful examples and your children are all so outstanding, each in their own way. My parents were the opposite. The world would be a whole different place if children had parents that cherished and loved them the way you do! I agree with everyone I see and hear... Kelly Jo and Gil are so missed! I wish we could watch you on a new program or forum! Erin, you and Chad are doing an awesome job with your kids too....following in your excellent parents' footsteps!

    Erin and Kelly I truly thank you for this video. I so pray many expectant mamas watch this..I grew up with a very mentally unwell mother, although I love and appreciate her for what she sacrificed for me, she was very down and stressed all the time. She was also insecure and I tried to be different as a mother but did not have the Lord in my life. My children are young adults and it's never too late to change, I have many health struggles and often lately find myself being more down than I wish, this has been a blessing for me to see as I am now a Christian and know that my Lord and Savior loves me, Thank you both again

    Raising children falls mostly on the mom and is a ministry unto itself, they have a huge responsibility in how the child's outlook on life is and how they grow up to be productive adults...
    Mamma Kelly went to God and gives God the glory when she was overwhelmed, we can take a lesson in that for everything in life.. Go to God, he will help!!
