1000-lb Sisters' Amy Slaton breaks down in tears as fans slam 'useless' husband Michael

1000-lb Sisters star Amy Slaton broke down in tears after struggling to look after her two young children on her own – while her 'useless' husband Michael ate dinner.

The reality star was seen on the most recent episode of the hit-TLC programme adjusting to life after giving birth to her second child.

At the time of filming, she had only given birth two weeks ago and was attending a family barbeque with the newborn, baby Glenn, and her eldest son Gage.

The programme shows the moment everyone at the party is getting their food when Gage, who was born back in 2020, becomes restless and agitated.

Amy was forced to take him out of his stroller in a bid to calm him down, while still managing her baby – all as Michael continued to tuck into his lunch.

Speaking in confessional, Amy said: "Everyone is having fun, having a good old time.

"I'm over here hot as h**l, I just recuperated from surgery, I haven't had much sleep at all, and Gage just won't stop crying."

Her sister Amanda came over to help Amy as she became more overwhelmed.

"The boys started crying and I'm trying to choose which one to give my attention to at that point in time," Amy explained. "I just feel like, how am I gonna do this?

"How am I gonna be a mother to two boys and not hurt one of their feelings?"

Clearly overcome with emotion, Amy began to break down, sobbing in front of the camera as Amanda joined her in confessional to calm her down.

Amanda told Amy: "You're not supposed to be doing this s**t by yourself. You are married and have a husband, and he is supposed to be being a dad too."

Taking to Twitter after the moment aired, furious fans voiced their opinion on 'useless' Michael.

"How no one grabbed a baby and handed the baby to Michael I do not know," Tweeted one fuming viewer. "Like I am not a calm chill person when it comes to the obvious."

They added: "He is the daddy he needs to stop eating and be a dad." Another said: "Should Amy be lifting Gage after just recently having a C-section?"

"Michael, go help your wife," they blasted. Another wrote: "I wonder if Michael was helpful with Gage? Bc if not I’m glad Amy has her family. But the kids aren’t her family’s responsibility. They’re Amy’s and Michael’s. I hope he’s more helpful off-camera."
