It’s no secret that “I Love You Day” is one of the Bates family’s biggest annual events, and most of the kids gather for such a memorable day. Several commenters also mentioned that Alyssa seemingly skips big family events by going on trips and announcing it ahead of time, which is similar to what happened at Gil’s 60th birthday party earlier this year.

“She has a habit of traveling to other places(with her immediate family) during big Bates events that are known about in advance.”
“it’s not thumbing, it’s a flipping a 🐦. deliberately visiting the grands the weekend, when she knows nobody from her family will show up at. a beautiful response to that effusive post. way to create a deeper rift between herself and her family.”
“I am not surprised at all. Alyssa doesn’t seem to like being around her entire family all at once. And ILY day is totally made up. They aren’t even having it in Valentine’s Day. It’s not someone’s wedding and it’s not Christmas. I wouldn’t go either. I honestly think the whole concept is stupid. So I understand Alyssa not going.”
“Sounds like she gets mentally overwhelmed with her family. Though I do find it odd the 2 youngest girls don’t visit anymore.”
