One fan speculated, “I think it was a sister mom relationship and they were probably more bonded before Josie became more of an adult.” In the Duggar and Bates families, the girls typically help raise the younger kids. Online, fans and critics refer to them as “sister moms,” and it looks like they think this is why Josie Bates Balka and Alyssa Bates Webster’s friendship hasn’t lasted into adulthood and motherhood.

Another Bringing Up Bates fan chimed in, “I think it’s pretty natural that sisters, in a group of 19 siblings, who live in different states would grow apart no matter how close they may have been previously.”

It’s unclear if there was a specific event that caused their relationship to fall apart. But some fans think it’s normal and there is nothing to worry about.
