Recently, Mercy Plath, the youngest Plath child, celebrated her 10th birthday. Hard to believe that we’ve known the Plath family for five seasons already, but there they are, growing up before our very eyes. It seems like just yesterday they were this uber conservative family who could barely watch Disney movies and weren’t allowed to eat sugar… until recently.
It looks like, from Kim Plath’s (or should we say India Venta, although the profile is hidden now) social media that she was having a pretty traditional looking birthday cake for Mercy… yes, traditional, that means made with sugar, icing included.
It was hard pulling my jaw off the floor as well.
After Kim railed so hard on daughter-in-law Olivia Plath for taking son Ethan Plath down the great white way of sugar, you would think that Kim would opt for a sugar free option such as a watermelon cake or whatever they used to serve Demi Lovato that helped spiral her into an Eating Disorder, fortunately, Kim is not that far gone and for that we are thankful.
Kim Plath lifts the sugar embargo
It seems that Lydia was the one actually cutting the cake, so, we may not be out of the woods yet, maybe Kim is under the impression that calories are transferred via touch when that is not how science works… but we’re not sure Kim is a full believer in science, at least not yet, she may still be sipping some of the fundie kool-aid yet.
One thing we did notice in one of the pictures however is that Kim invited her new boo thang to the birthday party, Isaac’s flight instructor. Isaac was there too, waving to the camera. So it seems the kids have adjusted pretty well to Kim no longer being with ex-hubby Barry. Obviously, that’s only speculation but no one looked miserable in the pictures. Even Lydia seemed to be genuinely enjoying herself.
Of course there was no Ethan or Olivia present, but that’s to be expected so while Kim has come a long way, we won’t be holding our breath for a reunion of any kind soon. Also, they just moved to Minnesota not too long ago, so them packing up and going back to Cairo, even if it is for a birthday party for one of Ethan’s siblings is probably not on their priority list right now.
Micah and Moriah didn’t seem to be present either, but since they both live out of state that’s kind of to be expected. Micah is busy with his modeling career, and Moriah is busy… bartending? We don’t know, we’ll see when season 5 of Plathville premiers, a date that we still don’t have yet, but rest assured, we’re keeping our ears to the ground. Stay tuned!!!
