\u201cLooking back on my childhood and the way that my parents raised me, I can\u2019t think of anything that was negative,\u201d Erin Bates Pain (who joined the fam on May 2, 1991) told People<\/a>. “Everything, looking back, is really positive, and we made the best memories.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

While they didn\u2019t have a television \u201cwe substituted that for playtime with dad,\u201d she continued. \u201cOr, you know, playing games as a family or making memories. So, I don\u2019t feel like we missed out on anything and, actually, I think we were smarter because of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Which meant that after she married Charles “Chad” Stephen Paine III\u00a0in 2013, they were eager for a big brood of their own. A blood clotting disorder let to several miscarriages before they were able to welcome Carson\u00a0in May 2015, Brooklyn\u00a0in August 2016, Everly\u00a0in May 2018, Holland\u00a0in November 2019 and Finley\u00a0in January 2022. And though she believed they wouldn\u2019t be able to have more children, they went on to grow their family with William\u00a0in October 2023 and Henry in August 2025. Revealing that Erin had gone into septic shock<\/a> following Henry\u2019s delivery, Chad wrote on Instagram<\/a>. “We would so appreciate your prayers for Erin as she continues to recover from some complications.\u201d<\/p>\n

By October, she revealed she’d begun to walk<\/a>, writing on Instagram, “They might be a little wobbly, but they are steps I wasn\u2019t sure I\u2019d ever take again.”<\/p>\n
