'Tammy is better mother': '1000-lb Sisters' fans slam Amy Slaton's temper tantrums over raising her sons
DIXON, KENTUCKY: TLC's '1000-lb Sisters' star Amy Slaton faced significant internet backlash after throwing tantrums and crying during a family trip to Florida. The turmoil erupted when tasked with caring for her two boys, leading to a physical altercation with Amanda Halterman. Subsequently, Amy created a scene, threatening to leave the trip midway. The internet criticized Amy's behavior, emphasizing her family's continuous support for her and her children, and highlighting her apparent lack of gratitude.
Surprisingly, Tammy Slaton, Amy's sister without children of her own, received praise for being perceived as a better mother. Many online observers believed Amy acted childishly, expecting her siblings to care for her and her kids without expressing gratitude in return. "Amy acts like none of them are helping her when Amanda took her kids to leave because Amy was just letting them scream their heads off. But it’s not their job to take care of her babies. I’d be like I’m done lol don’t bring your kids to dinner, get a babysitter," commented a user.
"Amy’s taking no accountability. Are they being a little hard on her? Yes. She doesn’t need everyone telling her what to do. But she really screwed up with Amanda," another added. Others reminded her that throwing a scene as a mother of two was not cute.
"Amy throwing herself on the floor and having a temper tantrum was not cute," said one. "Why did Amy have those boys if she wants everyone else to take care of them? Everyone told her not to have two babies so close together. They told her she couldn't handle it. But she wanted them. Now she wants her siblings to take care of them? Hell nah," said another.
"Amy wants her siblings to take care of her kids but wouldn’t make her husband/baby father do it, and that’s what annoys me about her," added one. "Someone should tell Amy that if she doesn’t want to be treated like a child she shouldn’t act like one," added another.
"Damn...childless Tammy has more mothering skills than Amy...who has 2 kids!," noted a user.

Amy Slaton gets custody of children
On March 8, 2023, Amy took a significant step in her case by modifying the order of protection against her ex-husband, Michael, to permit supervised contact with their children. The decision followed an alarming 911 call, leading Amy to initially seek an order of emergency protection, surrender of firearms, and a protective order summons against Michael on February 28, 2023. Subsequently, the judge overseeing the case decided to amend the order of protection ten days later.
Exclusive court documents obtained by The US Sun reveal that the amended order now allows for supervised contact between Michael and the couple's children. The court memo specifies that Amy and her sister must supervise the contact, and there should be no physical discipline.
Are Amy Slaton and Michael Halterman still together?
Amy Slaton and Michael Halterman finalized their divorce on September 6, 2023, after continuous disagreements over Michael's purported failure to contribute to childcare. Amy, emotionally distressed after Glenn's birth, cited this as a factor in their separation. Post-divorce, rumors circulated about Amy dating someone new. Surprisingly, on New Year's Eve, she publicly declared the breakup, hinting at a potential reconciliation with her ex-husband, Michael.
