Amy Slaton Halterman, star of the show 1000-Lb Sisters, has sparked curiosity among TLC fans regarding her source of income to afford a nanny, as she has never held a traditional job. Although her husband, Michael Halterman, is employed as a mill operator at Shamrock Technologies, he has filed for divorce, leaving Amy without financial support from his paycheck.
Following the divorce filing, it has been reported that Michael Halterman and Amy will share custody of their children, with both parents spending time with them. The couple’s relationship issues first became apparent to fans when they noticed Michael’s lack of involvement in caring for their two troublesome boys. By Season 5, Amy had grown tired of shouldering the responsibility of raising their children alone.
A sneak peek of the upcoming season of 1000-Lb Sisters, set to air on TLC on December 19, showcased Amy Slaton in tears as she opened up about her struggles to her sisters. It appears that the new season will heavily focus on her personal challenges. The tension between Amy and Michael reached its peak during a confrontation involving her sister Amanda, leaving their other sister Tammy Slaton visibly shocked. It was during this conversation with Amanda that Amy expressed her desire to hire a nanny.
Fans of 1000-Lb Sisters have been actively discussing Amy’s financial situation and trying to unravel what she does to support herself.
In a recent Instagram preview shared by TLC, Amy expressed her constant exhaustion and ongoing pain due to the responsibilities of taking care of her two boys, managing the household, and caring for her Mom. She admitted that the current situation is overwhelming, and she desperately needs assistance. However, Amanda, while watching this scene unfold on the popular show 1000-Lb Sisters, doubted whether hiring a nanny would truly alleviate the challenges Amy is facing. This led fans to speculate about Amy Slaton’s potential income sources that could enable her to afford a nanny.
I’m really curious about what Amy Slaton does besides being on the TLC show. I have an honest question: how do they spend their days? I assume their income comes from disability benefits, especially considering Amy’s eye issue. But it makes me wonder, how can they afford to have a nanny on a disability check?
After doing some research on Meaww, it appears that Michael still works at the mill. On the other hand, Amy might be receiving some sort of disability benefits. In addition to that, she has income from her social media presence and also gets paid by TLC. However, many fans believe that there’s a lot of laziness going on, judging by the state of their home. Moreover, they doubt whether their income is reliable enough to cover the cost of a nanny.
What are your thoughts on Amy Slaton considering getting a nanny? Unlike her ex-husband, she doesn’t work all day at the mill. Even though she earns money from advertising on social media, it doesn’t take up her entire day. Additionally, her sister Tammy doesn’t require as much attention since she has lost weight. Maybe the other sisters can help take care of their mom. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
Season 5 of 1000-Lb Sisters currently airs on TLC on Tuesday nights at 9/8c.
